RFG meet

[Lord Nepenthean]

If we're not going to do Cedar Point, one option would be to get several rooms in the same hall of a state park inn in Indiana, Ohio, or wherever for that matter.  When I was younger, my family and all of my cousins' families and other people all did that over New Year's at Spring Mill in Indiana.  It's a beautiful lodge, it's in a nice State Park (so there are some things to do other than video games and Taco Bell in the area).  They also have an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, game room, and an amazing all you can eat buffet.  The one disadvantage is that it's in the middle of Indiana.  Regardless, going to a place like that may be an option.  Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania all have some good or great state parks that have nice inns.  Michigan probably does too, though I have never been to any there (yet).  I could be the only one who would want to do this, but the reason I suggest it is if Laurel's idea is what we shoot for, it may make sense to do it somewhere a little more interesting than a Holiday Inn.

P.S.  They also have adjoining rooms.  And, if we did it just in a hotel rather than a place like Cedar Point, I'd be more than willing to lug a carfull of games, TV's, and a PC or two with me.

Again, I'd have no issues going to Indiana as I wanna meet someone from there anyhow, but I'll really go anywhere as long as I get my arse into gear and sort it out.

I wouldn't be able to bring PC, consoles or TV but i had already planned on bringing controllers for all systems and definately GoldenEye. Unless someone else does.

I need to start saving lunch money... it sucks not having a job.
It would be cool if some of the non-US members could be there too.

[Antimind]

I like the prices but do like the fact that smoking rooms are available. Refridgerators in rooms are the shiz.

[Izret101]

Quiet time for the entire property is 11:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.

What exactly does that mean?

Rooms have A/C, private bath, color TV w/satellite and telephone w/data port

Very cool

Groups of 10 or more rooms should please contact the group sales office.

So far there are approx. 10 people going correct?
I know i am going to try my best to get there and bring Dan along with me.

[Lord Nepenthean]

I'll try to give them a call tomorrow.  I would today but I know I won't be back from class in time.

Quiet time, (I assume) means that we have to be quiet, so basically we can't play games against each other at one in the morning.

you kids should all be in bed by then anyway.

I assumed as well but I was hoping Nep would know because i have been to different places and quite time can greatly vary from  establishment to establishment.

[Lord Nepenthean]

I think most places have "quiet time."  My relatives are anything but quiet, so if we managed until one in the morning a lot of the time, I'm sure this group could too.  Another thing I forgot to mention is that the inn also has conference rooms that are sometimes just left open.  I'll ask about those when I call too.  And there are other places in the midwest that would be nice too - Hocking Hills, Wayne State Park, Clifty Falls, etc., etc.

I think any place that requires quiet after a certain point isn't a good idea considering the amount of night owls we have...

Well it's pretty much official as of yesterday that I won't be able to make it anyways. My dad was already pissed at the idea (cause it means spending money). I got permission to get a haircut and then my damn cell phone broke (fried). I had to replace it, only one place in Pittsburgh had an AT&T phone left (since they're now Cingular). Long story short I have an N-Gage QD (go head, laugh) and went through just over $300. Me dad is pretty pissed and seems to think it's my fault my phone decided to quit. I woulda just got my usual el cheapo, basic phone but they didn't have any :\ Told me I can hang up the meet cause it's out of the question (aside from taking the car). Anyone else's life suck?...lol

[NESJunkie]

Wow what a great Idea! I'd love to meet everyone! I'll have to see if Mrs. Junkie and baby Junkie'd be up for the ride!!!

[den68]

my wife will be pleased to know she won't be the only wife being dragged along!

[Izret101]

If I did go I can't do Cedar Point  or Kings Island. I could only get together for a few hours. I don't want to leave my wife on her own for to long.

It sounds like if Scott could make it his wife would be coming too.

[den68]

It's not like we need to ditch the wives. my wife has gone to 2 DP meets with me and she hung with the whole group. I think she had a good time and enjoyed meeting some new people. hell if my, Tynstar's and Junkie's wives all come they'll have a lot in common. they all married dorks with way to many video games! heh heh.

it could be a dual meet:

RFG meet

Wives of Video Game Collectors Support Group meet
