Bumping for updated information on second post!

Provided detailed and visual instructions on how to get to us and where to park!

4

Was really happy with the showing! Thanks to everyone who came out! From now on we’ll probably meet on Monday nights! Hope to see more people there!

5

Really happy to see more meets/events going down in the riverside area. Unfortunetly I can’t do mondays since I got work. Hopefully there can be a schedule to fit in thursday-saturdays.

6

As am I! I do hope you can check us out one day!

Something kinda came up with rooming issues (related to setup), but for now i’m still going to go on with Monday until further notice!

7

Okay! So i updated the top post with our future meeting dates. These dates are currently TENTATIVE, but i’m pretty sure we’ll get them. I’ll post again for more updates and announcements!

Maps and general directions are still the same! They’re in the same building as last time, just different room. The room we will be in will have a sign in front of the door

8

Good to see the UC getting back into the mix, hope I can make it out this Fri.
-Also I was wondering if you guys were playing AE there? I was assuming yes? I just wanted to make sure.

9

They had 1 setup playing arcade editon on PS3. They also had a xbox setup, but no one was using that one. What console are you on?

10

Thanks, I’m dual-modded so I’m good, are you guys good on setups? I could probably bring one if you need it.

11

Well the people to setup ratio was good last time, but that was the only the first meeting. Let’s see how things are on friday.

12

Out of curiosity, could you you tell me how many people were there last time, how many people were there to play AE, and about how many people can the room hold? I plan on coming regardless but I was seeing how many people I can bring.

13

Ahh, to be honest i don’t remember. When we arrived i’d say atleast 10+ people were there, but i heard some left early.

14

Ok, so I know everything gets going around 4pm but when do they rap everything up?

15

When ever the person who brought the setups leaves :p. I forgot what time it ended last time. I’d say atleast 8 or 9, maybe 10.

16

I have an xbox with pretty much any game if someone can bring a monitor

17

So yeah I should be there this coming Fri. See everyone there

18

There was an xbox setup last time that nobody was using so we should be fine.

19

So I take it I came a little too late, because I’m here and no one is playing AE :\ except some guy I just met and he’s been playing for about 2 weeks!!! Where is everyone for AE?!? :frowning:

20

Either way good place to play and chill I’ll try to come sooner maybe I’ll catch a few people playing AE next time.
