Just curious if anyone would like to set up some kind of gathering or hangout for us in Western Washington.
Maybe do some trading or game hunting. I love game hunting! Let me know your ideas, that is if anyone is interested in doing something like this.

I support this idea 100% I'm free Tuesday - Friday weekly since I work double shifts the rest of the week. Maybe some sort of campout gamefest idea would be pretty sweet, even if we just get together and scour pawn shops and have a few drinks.

Then you called your mother and felt better?

Well so far Space Jockey you are about 3 hours away from me and otterpop you are about an hour and 20 minutes from me. I live in Bothell. Now Otterpop how is the game hunting up there.... I've been up there and didn't have much luck. Now Space Jockey I havent been in Yakima game hunting, it wouldn't be impossible for me to trek over there, but how is the game hunting there, also it's a lot hotter weather wise over there.

Game hunting isnt very good here. Already scour all the pawn shops, game stores, etc and rarely find good deals. It's basically a waste of my gas money to even try. Maybe every 2 weeks I make rounds just to see whats out there. Yakima area here so it will be a drive for me either way since Seattle-area would be the likely meeting spot.

Not often, I suppose I should check it out sometime. Goodwill stores here usually have nothing or everything is overpriced.

Had a PnT but they closed when the owner died a few years ago. Now it's just whatever you can scour from CL, pawn shops and goodwill (which aint much)

Did you guys miss the SRGE? That was a HUGE meet up and Party. A lot of NA'ers were there.
There are a ton of us in the western Washington side of the state...we all usually go to all 3 conventions each year. You can see us there.
If you guys organize a one day gathering on a weekend or something, I could be down for it. There are a ton of places to go to from Lacey to Seattle. We hit most of them up weekly or so, just for fun.

Yeah we go to SRGE, PRGE, and we even made it to the one in Vancouver, BC.
If I had a job and saved up it would have been cool to go to the Vegas one next month.
If anyone wants to do some game hunting this weekend, let me know!
Benihana did you happen to help Gerald out at his booth for SRGE?

If anyone in the south sound area is interested, maybe we could arrange a barter session or 2 when schedule's agree with everyone. May just save time running around to garage sales, thrift stores, etc. and actually see some stuff....lol

For some reason it will not let me quote.

I will ask Madmax to set it up since he has more free time then I do.

Between him and I we know pretty much every location north and south including all Goodwill's and Value Villages, Salvation Armys and St Vincent's

I will help him get the times of all the northern stores (depending how far we want to go.)
