The southern cru is underway!  Hopefully we will be in turbob town around 2pm!

5am departure? Drive safe southern turbo bros, I'll try not to drink all the beer in town by the time you'all get here.

[nectarsis]

On the road in a few hours to Jeffs, then Chicago bound!!!

[Mathius]

Same. I am going to try to get off work an hour early to get there a little earlier.

[majors]

Rooms? Where my turbo ppls at? Room 142 but red elf needs more beer...and it's such a long walk! He also needs some turbo...HBO is getting old.

[chany60126]

One day before the big show!! Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

[tggodfrey]

I will be a little late guys.  Skydive Chicago needs a Tandem instructor bad tomorrow so I will be working till 1 or 2 and head to Ghost right after.

[bartre]

i'll squeeze in some Valis and Gate of Thunder for ya!
and don't forget to post some pics, dammit.

[chany60126]

Thanks for the good wishes bartre. We'll definitely make sure to take plenty of pics, and video if possible.

[Mathius]

rooms, 143, 147, and 165!!

damn you're fat!
and i'd think it would be a fire code violation to be blocking rooms 148-164.

CRAP! You guys are there, in southern Canada, for this gaming thing.

I wish I had been able to go.

No, it's a logistical problem. Travel time too long, weekend too short, etc. etc. You know...

[hizaygizirlz]

Fun times boys and girls.  Good seeing everyone had fun.

[turbokon]

[TurboCro]

Looks like a good time. Waifu has relatives in Chicago, maybe I'll have to do a road trip next year.

I also have video of the dinner out and some of our AWESOME SONIC SPIKE BEACH VOLLEYBALL OCTURBOFEST TOURNAMENT OF THE AGES 2012 that I'll be putting up at a later time.  ;)

rooms, 143, 147, and 165!!

damn you're fat!
and i'd think it would be a fire code violation to be blocking rooms 148-164.

Yo mamma's so fat, that she takes up 3 hotel rooms at the Red Rash Inn!  LOL.  Actually I dragged a grand total of 7 central WI (Who may or may not actually be 'from' central WI) peeps down for the event. Everyone had a great time, but I kind of doubt we made any new forum members this weekend....LOL

[chop5]

had a blast! heres a few pics from my camera with only 10 mb storage cf card

[cdamm]

needs moar dragon ninja.

[DragonmasterDan]

Nice to have seen everyone there, this was a lot busier than I expected and preliminary planning has already begun for a future TurboFest at Galloping Ghosts.

[bartre]

damn, someone looks like they weren't in the turbob spirit!

[Mathius]

I'm home. I'm tired. I'm ...zzzzzzzzzz

[Flare65]

Had a great time and would like to thank Chop for helping bring my dead Turbo Express back to life!

[chany60126]

Glad to hear you guys had fun, I sure did too. I got to hand it to you JoshTurboTrollX-16, Sonic Spike was a great tournament choice! The competition was pretty intense. Some people really got into the game, especially that James fellow that lost in the finals.

The turnout was much better than expected. I think Galloping Ghosts is a great venue choice for another Turbo Fest.

Yea, that was a blast.  I feel bad we didn't get more chooties or high score challenges going.  The Sonic Spike tourney took about 2 hours to get through.  O_O

The thing that really shocked me is the winning team chose SNES games as their prizes after winning a TurboGrafx tournament!!!

FOR SHAME!!!  lol

[tggodfrey]

I loved it.  Perfect choice for Venue Chany.  

It was awesoem to see everyone again and meet a few new faces.  Thank you to everyone who travelled long distance.

[Opethian]

I had  a blast! glad to have finally met most of you from the board. Hope I can head back out next march!

[cdamm]

ope has no strip fighter game.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

ope has no strip fighter game.

You both said Strip Fighter II was better than ALL neo fighters.  I have proof!!

[jeffhlewis]

Jeff vs. Majors drink-off 2012 I'd say was a draw. The force is strong with this one.

I never sleeped on Saturday...went to the airport @ 5am! I had too much a head start on Friday..."MAGFEST!", I was rough that night but all well for the main event on Saturday.

Had a blast, the arcade was worth the trip plus all my turboheads in the house!

[Mathius]

Man, what an awesome time! It all went by so fast. I wish I could have been able to spend more time with you guys, but the time we did have was sweet-sauce. Ope, you are officially part of the crew now so there is no excuse for missing out on MGC.

There were some great turbo games (thank you Blue), but I already had them all so that's why i went w/ the Diddy Kong.

I can't speak for Loong though.

I really wanted to play other people in that game.

That is the time limit problem you want to play this, and this and this, and you want to try to play w/ a few different people and they are all wanting to play different games w/ different people and then its 7pm.

Really great time though.

I WILL say that Majors cut off Friday night when Jeff still had some gas in the tank 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Good to hear y'all had a good time. 

damn, someone looks like they weren't in the turbob spirit!

Heh, I thought the same thing.  She looks cranky.

heh, sounds about right.
MGC 2012 i got a grand total of like 6 hours of sleep from the time I left here in omaha til when i got back.
and then i went to work, that's the kick in the ass that made me take an extra couple days off for it this year.

on an unrelated note, totally just realized you changed your avatar, nect.  i was all like "where'd he go..."

[roflmao]

Glad to hear y'all had such an awesome time!  I'm still hoping to set up something in this region as well in the near future (though I'll give everyone a couple months notice at least).  Can't wait to see you guys again at TurboFest!

[chany60126]

Here is a pic of the exciting Sonic Spike tourney.

I cant wait!

[turbokon]

Looks like it was a good turnout and I missed it. I hope to be able to go to the next meet.

[Retrocool]

Sorry I could not make it, but I had to attend a wedding.. NEXT TIME

[alexsduo]

That was so much fun!

I wanted to thank everyone for setting it up, being there, taking care of the logistics, organizing tournaments, bringing amazing prizes, and everyone being spectacular (haven't used that word in a while) It was really nice seeing so much obey. 

I can't wait until next time, sigh.

[tggodfrey]

You should have just waited and gone to the divorce.  They are much more fun

[tggodfrey]

Yeah Jess had been awake for 29 hours at that point.  (she is a nurse and currently working nights)
