Title: EUROMEET 08'
Post by: FINNY(uk) on May 11, 2008, 11:59:24 AM
Hi Guys,

Just a quick message to let "Everyone" know that Euromeet 08' will be happening sometime in the second half of Novemeber, the Lair has been extended, with a new larger Office, an Electrical/tech room..for Matteo..hehe and a larger DL2 area. My house will be finished, so anyone coming from abroad will have somewhere to stay (bed breakfast and shower) I'll have a gamesroom in my house too of an evening, pinballs, pool, and a few 80s games. hope many of you can make it. Please reply to let me know if you at least think you can make it.

regards

 ;) Second half of November sounds great for me. I'll sure try to be there, it has been so long since I saw a dragon's lair cab, and if I look at the cabs Finny owns it must be the ultimate experience.
Ofcourse I would also like to meet a lot of you guys hanging arround on this forum.
Now let's go to sleep for somthing like 6 months, it makes the waiting much eassier...  ;D.

Got nothing planned for November, seems a long way off, so I should be able to pop over!

Will finally be able to give you back that DLII Laser Disk, it's only 2 years overdue  :o

Looking forward to seeing the house finished.

Cheers

What an incredibly kind invitation! I'll make every effort to try to attend! If your place really is in Kent, then it should be near the Chunnel (Dover is in Kent, right?). That's only a few hours drive from Holland!
Title: Re: EUROMEET 08'
Post by: DarthNuno on May 16, 2008, 10:37:50 PM
Yeahh ! I strongly suggest you all to do EVERYTHING for coming... you won't regret it  :)  !!! I'm sure there will be a lot of surprises during this meeting  ::) ;)

Yes, The Finny's Lair is very close from the Channel tunnel (maybe 45 minutes to drive only)  ;)

I missed the 2006 ... but this year I think I could DO IT !!!!!
I' d always love to reach the Lair with the capital "L" !

Jaz , you don't know me ( or maybe you indirectly know me by Teo' s stories ... ) , but I can say you have to prepare all your Dragons and Aces to be defeated !!!  ;D
Uh ... OK !
Not "all" ...
I've never completed the SA '91 , that monster with diagonal moves ...
( btw : I think it' s only an AWFUL copy of the "original" Space Ace ! :-\ )

Mate,

You know me, wild horses couldn't keep me from going again, and I'm sure the rest of the Northern Posse will attend. Maybe this time I might remember to take my laserdisc player for some kind person to fix {Justin, I hope you have your probing device to hand :-)}! Another 15 hour DL2 session sounds good to me!

Let me know when you have a date but please, please avoid Bommy night!

Cheers

Lee

Jas,
Any thoughts on dates yet?

Please make it not too late in November this year, coz then it starts to get into pre-Christmas party territory.
You know how busy those last 3 weeks on the run up to Christmas can be!

Looking forward to seeing the people I know again, and meeting the people I don't!

If anyone is interested, I will have a US (Cimenatronics) Dragon's Lair for sale. It's working, but in original condition, I have all the parts and materials to restore it which will be included in the sale.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread!

Yes, please let's set a date for this meeting. For us who are coming from abroad, it is important to know in advance in order to get days off work, book flights and hotels. At least 1 month and a half in advance.

Hi Guy,

Sorry for the delay, I have been so so busy for the last few months, busy with shows, and also other business commitments, I have had no computer while renting a house with no means of connecting to the internet, while my house is "Still" being built, I will have to put off the Euromeet until I can guarentee a date in concrete, I am also going to try and get Don Bluth to make an appearence, Don was in London for my Birthday, so I am sure I can talk Don into coming over for the Euromeet even though he is not keen on traveling/flying. let me get everything into place and then we can all talk about dates, the only cabinet I am waiting to be shipped is my Bluth owned Space Ace, every other cabinet is in Finny's Lair, I will be able to check computer contacts every few days, you guys can Email me on jason.finn@btopenworld.com

All the best
-Finny

Post by: Dexter on October 06, 2008, 03:46:44 AM
That's awesome news about having Don come. Having just split with the mrs, I'll have a lot of time on my hands down the track. And I SOOOOO want to come to this meet.

I'm going to make up some T-Shirts (if this is ok) and I'll be bringing all the original artwork files I have for all you guys (free of course)

Can't wait

Steve

Don Bluth himself  :o :-* Bluth owned Space Ace  :o  :-* ...with such announcements, we can wait a little bit longer (but not too long)  ;)

Thanks for the update Jason and good luck for all your side projects too  :-*

I am still DEAD keen on coming to this, but can we have a bit of lead time ? (like 2 - 3 months ?) Reason being, building a 'Games Room' and will need to watch the cash  8)

I'm going to get some T-Shirts made up and a few Posters for the 'Event'
