Phoenix Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yes Yes. Fantastic during the day. I stayed very late at The Trappist (great place!) and made a quick march/wobble from there to the hotel a couple years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah, that sounds about right. I worked right around there for a few years... let's just say having my office building connected directly to the BART station was the only way I felt safe working overtime. We'll make sure everybody gets where they need to go, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homo ferricus Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I am definitely interested. Once again it depends on the exact date of the event, but I expect I'll be able to make it unless it's on my brothers birthday (feb. 21) or somefink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homo ferricus Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Also, I once again invite coolbreeze to attend and finally elaborate on his ultimate tank defense invention: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=73538&highlight=coolbreeze Seriously, I'm still curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Availability of parking near the event is important to me. I can only walk for a very short distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Availability of parking near the event is important to me. I can only walk for a very short distance. There is a tremendous amount of parking around the venue I'm shooting for - it's in Old Oakland and the city went out of its way to provide walkable parking for the area. We can make it work regardless, though - I can pick you up at your car and drive you there if you can't park close enough to where we end up. That part of Oakland is pretty ill-used, though - there tends to be plenty of parking convenient to wherever you're going unless there's some kind of festival going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dear Phil, Thank you for your kind offer. Count me in. You are most welcome. If everything works out, please PM me prior to the event and I'll give you my phone number. The same goes for anyone else who might need help on the day of the preview. Unfortunately, Endgame has given me a firm but friendly "no" - they have certain requirements for hosting a product-related event and since they don't carry video games at all ultimately they decided they couldn't do it. Of course I'll still be making a visit (a visit to a games store without the kids? Hell yes!) and anyone who'd like to see the place and sift through their excellent collection of used games is welcome to come. I'll be trying to tie up a conference room at the Marriott - it's literally just across the street from Endgame so your destinations won't change much at all. We'll need to bring munchies in. I'll try and bring a broad selection - let me know if anyone has any allergies, etc., so we can avoid bringing anything that might set them off. I'll let you all know about beer. While I was hoping for Endgame this firms up dates considerably - we'll be doing a Saturday afternoon at the end of February unless every conference room in the area is booked. I'm hoping for the 26th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethejet Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Phil, any more info yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiku Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm up for it. I live in Oakland and have been to Endgames and that whole downtown area quite often. If I get some free time from school I can make it to the preview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Phil, any more info yet? Hey joe... still trying to hash out the location. Moon suggested a different spot nearby that might work better than the Marriott. I'll update as things change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisND Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I want to see a British upside-down machine gun with tripod! Sign me up! AHEM I have hired a bouncer and instructed him to kick out anyone who mentions the phrase "Bren tripods". Mongo (his professional name is Mongo) is the twitchy type. I wouldn't cross him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do you have an approximate time?? Thanks. Afternoon! Probably 3PM on. It's not strict, though - you can show up late, you'll just miss some fun stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethejet Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Awesome, I'll be bringing my sons (15 and 18 years old) along. They like to play too. Plus the 18 year old can be my DD! (And I'm not talking duplex drive) Jet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Right! So now that the date and time's firmed up let's get some RSVP's going. If you're planning on being [somewhere in Oakland where CM:BN will be joyfully played] on Sat. 26th in the afternoon, please send me a PM or post a new response here. I'll need responses rather quickly - if there's going to be 20 folks showing up I may need to rethink location. So! Let me know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethejet Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm 90% sure of in for three. If something changes I'll let you know. I've never been to one of these, what should we expect? jet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The basic plan is: we'll show you guys CM:BN, you'll get a crack at playing it, and we'll hang out and discuss it. You're welcome to come and go as you please. Depending on where we end up we may be eating in place or going out afterward - "come and go as you please" applies to dinner as well, of course. We won't force you to come out with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
