As always, the campout was a blast this year.  But dammit, I can't wait a whole other year to see at least some of my NA homies.  For that very reason, some of us living here in the midwest have arranged a meetup in Indianapolis for the weekend of Sept. 9-11th.

All NintendoAgers are welcome.  All tightpantsed hipster muthahfuckahs are definitely not.

I've reserved a block of rooms and a conference room at the hotel mentioned above.  We have 24-hour access to the conference room for our trading and gaming marathon.  There's also a projector in the room so we could do some tournament action on a large screen.  Other than that the schedule is completely up in the air.  We can go do some hunting at some retro stores and pawn shops or sightseeing or anything you folks decide you want to do.

If you are interested in attending and not arleady on the list PLEASE tell me as soon as possible so I can call the hotel and expand the block.  Currently I've reserved five rooms (the minimum to get the discount rate) but I can add more.  For whatever reason, though, Indy seems to be busy that weekend and the hotels are filling up fast.  The types of rooms in the block are:

A. 1 King bed / 1 pullout bed
B. 2 Queen beds

So everyone will at least have a bed to themselves if we got two to a room.  I'm not sure how many of each type we'll have yet, but there will probably be at least three King rooms to be taken because all three of the rooms above the conference room are King rooms.  And I want those for us so we don't have to worry about people calling the front desk in the middle of the night if we're having too much fun in the conference room.  (Still probably need to keep it somewhat under control, though.  I just didn't want us to have to whisper while we're trying to party at 3am.)

Here's the current list of wills/maybes/won'ts:

What To Bring:
-CRT TVs
-Games and systems
-PowerPaks
-Extension coords/Power strips (for the meeting room)
-A winning attitude that you can, in fact, make the
 world a better place to live (by getting drunk and
 playing video games.)

It's gonna be a good time, N.A. homies, and the more the merrier.  So if you're interested and you can make it let me know.

What the heck?!?! 

You told be you were giving me a piggy back ride to Indianapolis!

Ummmm... yeahhh... see.. this is really akward B.A. but.... sometimes I say things without completely thinking them through first.  I know, shocking.

Maybe I could... in exchange for CERTAIN favors, if you know what I mean, heh heh hehhhhh..

I'm a maybe.

What is there to see or do in Indianapolis John?  My wife and kid would probably come with me and need things to do.

Hmmm...I would consider it, but, yea, I'm not flying over that weekend.

Sorry, don't mean to be negative.  It sounds awesome.  Can't wait for pics.

Great that we have a place for this now I can't wait!

John: my gf Becky (super_tick on NA) is also coming, so you can count us in for a room with a King sized bed.

@Paul: There's a pretty cool Children's Museum and also a Zoo downtown. Shelby would probably love both of them, but I think she's just the right age for the Children's Museum and she'd really like that. (5, right?)

@MRN: Drive, you muthah!

@Rhetoric: Sweet, I've added Becky to the list of Yes's. Can't wait to see you guys again. However, I'm going to demand that you two take a room with two beds, just like it's the fifties. And don't you DARE push them together!

Yes, I'm in, and it sounds like Nikki may be as well, as long as that's not one of her work weekends. We'll take a King room as well.

NOOOO, we are going back to IL for 3 weeks in AUGUST and flying home on the 2nd of Sept. Just could not do it a week early could ya. Would have been a fun weekend trip during our vaca...

you need to add hippies to the 'not allowed' list

Fuck that Jeff. I'm a hippy and proud of it.

Put me down for a hell yes, but maybe (need to check work schedule). I have a lot of family that live in Indianapolis so I'd have a place to stay. I also told them I'd be visiting them within the next few months as I didn't get to see them on their annual 4th of July visit. The gf will be out of town on her study abroad program, so I'll have some free time and money actually.

I'm still confirmed. I'll have to talk to the wife to see if she is coming. She might be a bit bored though. So I'm a bit confused, do we call to reserve our rooms or do you already have those 5 booked and we tell you?

Yeah, im a maybe, just depends on when we are vacationing this fall, will be somewhere around this time frame.

am I a hipster?

YES! 

Put me down for 1 king since I'm king of the castle.

Whoaaaaaa whoa whoa...... I'm going to have to get new pants.

I already five the five rooms, Jeff.  I'll reserve more if/when we need them.



Hell no.  You're a photo-bomber, but definitely not a hipster.



Fuckin' ay!  There's at least the three kings above the conference room used.  Sweet!  I was wondering if I'd have trouble getting people in those.  Are you going to be on your own, blasto, or are you going to have someone who's going room with you?

John: you spelled my name wrong in the list of people who are coming! How will anyone know I'm gonna be there!?!?!

lol

As of now I'm gonna bunk alone.

I can bring a variety.of game sysyems and tvs if needed. Also how do you all feel about a brentalfloss karaoke night?

I was just going to suggest that about tvs and systems, Leathco.  I'll of course bring my NES and my Super and I can bring a CRT.  So if you and P13RATE have a couple CRTs or more that you can bring it would be awesome since you guys and myself are the closest.

Also, I will bring my PowerPak.  I'd ask that anyone who is attending and has a PowerPak bring theirs if it's not too much trouble.

How would we do the Brentalfloss karaoke?  I'd be up for it if we could fineggle it somehow.



Many apologies, sir.  It shall be corrected shortly.  Indeed, people have been PMing me asking if you were going to be there, and saying "who the fuck is rehotric614?"  This will put an end to that.  Upon looking over that I really did bugger your handle up pretty bad.

LOL, you pansy. You should be Mario's Shriveled Little Vasectomized Sterile Bitch-Ass Right Nut.

Either way, that means I won't be rooming with you sooo....

I actually might make it out seeing that it's so close. I'm a definite maybe.

Well.....I'd buy the brentalfloss karaoke pack, than bring a small speaker setup and a couple mics. We could print out lyrics for all the songs since its a small selection.

Also sign me up for cheap room. I'll talk with Kyle and see if he wants to share a room with me.
