[ceiling_fan]

I'm there!

 

[Smallhorses]

I'll leave it to you to bring the twins with you too!

No promises this time around with having to save for the honeymoon, but if I was to attend I'd 'wheel' it 100% just for kix . Had a great time in COD4 Fan, thx again, hope to play again soon!

[Strop]

I'm in. Gotta have someone to bring up the rear. I can provide a 24" LCD, the Sparco/G25 setup again and a PS2 (although mine doesn't have Ethernet). This time I'll remember to bring a headphone amp and a longer cable. Loving my new monitor (34" HiDef Sony) but it's a bit heavy to transport (190lbs).

Depending on the timeframe I may have a PS3/GT5P setup too ... are we interested in going that route at all ?

 

[ceiling_fan]

I can bring GT5 Japanese version, but that won't really be a "main event."

Twins Basil, Twins!

👍 good find

I'm going to stop wrecking the front page of an important thread now

 

[alrivers]

I'm in. And dont forget, strop. I have a truck, lol. So i can help with transport. =D

I already had the movie in my computer (at the scene the picture originates) so it didn't take long to screencap.

BREAKING NEWS:
I actually have two pairs of headphones.

I have a Minivan but it's getting it up and down three flights of stairs that's really the issue. Have you seen the size of this thing! It took three of us to get it up the stairs. I can borrow a 24" from work pretty easily and let's face it, GT-4 is only 640x480 resolution anyway so you don't really need anything that big.

One day I'll be able to afford a nice 46" XBR4 LCD ... but till then ... this is it.

 

[Kylehnat]

I don't want to come anymore. Just kidding . I can't really bring anything, since I'll be flying down this time. As I said in the SFGTP2 thread, any weekend is fine with me, except the weekend of April 12th.

 

[EDK]

I'm in. Gotta have someone to bring up the rear.

That's what I'm for, Strop.

I can do May or the first weekend in June. (5/31-6/1)

The rest of June is a little sketchy for me with work from the look of things, so I would be a maybe if it's after that first weekend.

If I can make it, I would have slim PS2, DFP and 37" LCD Flatscreen.

Looking forward to it if it works out.

[SimRaceDriver]

Any weekend is fine w/me....and you know what I'll bring w/me! :-)
I've not played GT for so long...and probably won't by the time this GTG happens, that I might as well just show up to record the event and/or broadcast it live during one of my shows on Blogtv.com! Yes! I have a web cam too! :-)


Cheers,

SimRaceDriver

 

[V1P3R]

Hmm... I'll have to check my schedule but, if I do I can bring the same stuff as last time. Even my screen with the plastic wrap still on it. xD

 

[Jump_Ace]

As long as its not on Memorial day, (pending some details) I may be able to go, so put me down as a maybe Nick

Jerome

 

[itgirlxx]

You've got my approval. Looking forward to seeing you all again.

 

[Smallhorses]

Wow guys! It's great to see such interest so quickly!
I think 💡, based on current snowy conditions, (which are taking precedence at the moment due to the limited availability of snow in CA!) our wedding anniversary weekend (May 17th & 18th when I'm "not allowed" to have it!) and what everyone has said about dates so far that the best time to do this is going to be May 31st / June 1st.

There we have it then.
Kyle & Jerome as furthest flung and promptest responding potential attendees will get first shout at the free accommodation chez Smallhorses since we're not expecting the wandering Martian (TM) this time around, though he's more than welcome to come & surprise us again, of course!

 

[Kylehnat]

You can upgrade me from the "maybe" pile . May 31st works for me 👍.

 

[CAMikaze]

Put me down as a "maybe" for the time being. After seeing what the dates were, I went over to Hotwire to see what the best fares and intineraries were for a possible plane ride. I imagine San Fransisco Intl. is the closest airport to your home? And if I can't make it this time, there's always the next one.

This has me wondering if the next one will be titled ';SFGTP: FOOOOORRRRRRE!!!' (As they would probably say in golf)

 

[Kylehnat]

Oakland is closer to chez Smallhorses (and easier to get to/from). Just don't stop at a random gas station to go to the bathroom.

 

[KLR142]

Jerome, road trip? I can leave friday afternoon at 2pm from work... As far as I know(haven't checked with anything, but I can't think of anything I MAY have, yet), the dates should work for me.

 

[Smallhorses]

CAMikaze, depending on which St. Lawrence you're in (apparently there's 2 in PA, one near Pittsburgh and another near Philly ) will depend on which airlines you can use, and if you can do Pittsburgh -> Oakland, Jetblue is pretty cheap (~$300 roundtrip) and a great airline to fly with!
I'll certainly add you to the maybe pile for now though! 👍

 

[KLR142]

Hey, that means I can be on the maybe list too... I have no problems with stuffing whatever is required in the backseat of the car to help with an additional setup, by the way.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Just sent you a pm Kyle, haha nm then. I was planning on flying down on whatever friday it is. Would be great if you could go dude!

Jerome

 

[KLR142]

Yeah, I guess financially speaking I'm not really going to know for sure until we get closer to the actual date... Trying to purchase a place to live, so we'll see how the funds are looking at that point.

 

[Jump_Ace]

But if KLR is attending, I"ll be forced to use the DS2, haha 👍

To give us a chance, you should only be allowed to control the throttle with your hand pressing the pedal down (like you did on Strop's setup.) If you don't mind.

 

[KLR142]

We just fixed my S80! If I still have it we'll totally have to take it down there for the trip... 💡 But chances are pretty good that I'll be selling it for the monies... We'll see what my financial advisor says(brother in law).
