How much space will there be ?
So how much cabs can be placed ?

I'm certainly not listing the cabs I could bring in this thread...
why?
because... ahum...
because I'm really late on my roadtrip reports and I still want to surprise you guys with a nice story whenever I'll have more time in my hands to write and post it here.
(but I already sent a PM with my list to André and he can choose whichever cab he likes better).
...and I will decide wisely....:)

Wow! What a cool idea!! I would love to come and could bring my Pole Position II (upright) ... if I'm allowed to come and stuff ;)
But of course, why wouldn't you be ? We strongly urge all European collectors to come over and if possible bring a machine, spread the word !
The PPII would be a GREAT addition !!! Can I add it to the list ?

@ El-pancho: Black Night would be a _dream_ pinball to add !!!

@2-mad: Well....my gameroom is completely full so it will be the tent for the "3rd party" cabs. I don't have the exact sizes now, but let's say something about 8x5m.
I know the space is rather limited, but we'll have to see how many cabs will be brought. If it's going as succesful as it already is now, there is a back-up plan ! :)
So, don't let space reasons concern you for bringing something...

Count me in with my 2 Girlfriends and I also offer to cover all the drinks as a donation for these fanatstic event ;D
Maybe it's a crazy idea, but we should make a corner for some retro computers, like C64 or something, it also would be a graet fun to play those games together. ;)
If you say ok, I would bring  a C64 with a retro Tv and hundreds of games. ;D

Ok ! ..
I can take a upright cab with an 60in1 in it ..
Or are these ones not wanted ?
If yes , take me to the list and I'll be there. Maybe alone, maybe with my girlfriends, or however ..
Minimum one additional person..
Sounds good for me !

That's brilliant Belike THANKS !!!!!

About the retro-computer stuff: I thought about that too and it would be cool if we have plenty of space left (OR if we decide for Plan B).
Let's just say that the priority list is as follows:
a) Classic (1971-1985-ísh) video arcade games
b) Pinballs (any era)
c) everything else :) The reason also for this is that there are already lots of homecomputer/classic console meetings throughout Europe. Again, not ruling them out, but we'll have to consider...

This means if we have to choose between a classic videogame or a pinball it will be the first one (also because we can house 2 upright videogames at the space of 1 pinball machine).

I've got a couple of Atari systems here that could also be in that corner if we can do it...Let's just see how it runs space wise...

I will figure out how much space we can actually get in the tent(s) and make a drawing to keep track...

As mentioned, if things get really big (which would be brilliant) there is a back-up plan for a location near my home that can house much more machines (and tent(s). However, that would mean moving (all) my machines there. Not impossible, but a lot of work :)

Count me in with my 2 Girlfriends and I also offer to cover all the drinks as a donation for these fanatstic event ;D

WOOHOO, YESSSSS !
I think you know my personal preference already my friend ;) ;) ;)

Another idea that was launched by Etienne and Robin is maybe doing some little demo/explanation on how to do some (basic) repair work.
Although I think that's a great idea, again space can be a limit here. Also what I don't want is that everybody comes up with a broken board and asking to be fixed. This should be fun for everyone. If Robin/Etienne don't mind, I'm fine with it, but they shouldn't be soldering whole day if you understand what I mean :)

I must say I'm very pleasantly surprised by the great response within less than a day already !!!
So far, people from Holland, Belgium, Germany and even Hungary will be coming !!! Hoping for some French and UK guys too, maybe even Italy ? (and more from the other countries are welcome too of course !!)
