Alright - I saw FLC, but there was no instruction manual. There are lots of Mercenaries available. What other 17.99 games would you want?

Matthew

I PM'ed Cheap D to tell him about our gathering and this is his response:

Awesome! Please take photos and/or video!

Wow, it'll be sort of weird, but what the . Put me on the maybes list :P

You can always just blow us off and pretend you are looking for some other video gamer gathering, lol.

Yea, I am not going to be able to come. I have other commitments that Sat.
But if this happens in the future, I will try to make it.

Matthew

Come on fellas. The excitement over this has died down some. What's there to be nervous about? There has to be more in the area that can commit to this.

This meet-up is a great way to say thanks and show our appreciation to CAG and the CAG community, I think. Think about all of the savings. I'm going primarily to hang out, and touch base with some of y'all so that we can help each other out on the major deals in the area. That in and of itself will make the trip worthwhile for me.

Maybe someone wants to make a banner so that we can throw it on our CAG signatures to get the word out on this meet-up. Anyone skilled enough, or have the time?

I couldn't agree more. Other areas have tried to set up meetups with no success. As I said earlier, I PMed Cheapy and he is pretty stoked about it. I owe a lot to CAG and so does my wallet. I couldn't imagine going back to paying full price for games. I don't think any of us will bite so come on out and match faces with screen names.

I just stumbled upon this local thread again.

A meetup sounds like a fine idea. I'll try to make it, too.

Edit: Another thought
You might want to contact the Goozex guys. They are local, and more importantly, they are gamers and CAG sponsors.

I will do that. Thank for the info and I look forward to meeting you.

Edit- The Goozex folks have been informed and invited. Send a PM a bit ago.

Yes, the Goozex people would be great to meet up with. I've emailed quite a few of them, and they are all good folk. Things may be picking up steam in regards to this meetup. This meetup will happen, and I know that at the minimum this will be an opportunity to have a few drinks, some wings, and b.s. about games with a good group of guys. 20 to 1 odds that a Girl gamer shows up. Even my wife doesn't want to go.

Lurk - Who can blame her? hehe

I hope you all have a great time.

Matthew

Just received a message from Goozex:

Hey Glenn, That is a very cool idea! You can count me in and I've passed the msg onto the other guys at Goozex (Jon & Valerio) -mark

Chalk me up as a maybe. How will we know each other? Are we getting a party room or something? I am not wearing a nametag! lol

We are not getting a party room, we will just meet at a certain place (the bar) and introduce ourselves, have a few drinks, talk video games and deals and then move into the game room (hopefully).

Who or what is Goozex?

Some say that Goozex is a cult that gets drunk every other Saturday and glorifies sodomy within its exclusively all-male membership, but they would be wrong.

Check out the Shopping Deals forum. It is a innovative game trading site. And they are actually a great company.

FYI, any CAGs still looking for Wiis, BB in Gaithersburg got like 8 in this morning. Not sure about other BBs.

Okay DC folks, who else is coming to the meetup? Check out the list, if you name is not on it, contact me or post. If your status needs to be changed, contact me or post. I am going to bring a camera to record it, but if there is someone else who would like to bring a camera or camcorder, just do it.

I am sure some of you feel funny meeting up, but it's not like we all don't communicate on CAG. This could be the beginning of something beautiful.
