Brutus Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 The WIFE & KIDS will be gone to Florida for Halloween and a few days after. SOOOOOOOOOO..... I was thinking of doing a tourney at my house. My only issue is I work Saturday till like 8 pm central, so I would NOT be able to do anything hosting wise for out of towners on Saturday. But, Saturday night, anyone who wants to make the trip, there is several couches, a futon, and a guest room, so I could put up a few buds if you wanted to save hotel fair, and get some hockey/NHL94 in Saturday night. Sunday, starting early in the morning, I'd like to get some type of draft, download it onto the EVERDRIVE I have, and slap a tourney or two together. Drafts LIVE couldn't take but 20 minutes. Making the ROM another 30 minutes. Could play games while we draft, etc. I've got ONE Sega, two sh&t controls, and 3 TV's plus we could play on our PC/Laptops as well. IF you think you can make it, post here. IF you need to contact me, PM in the forum, AIM me, text me (630) 862-0965 or email dougtincu@yahoo.com. I live in Palatine, IL 60067 for those needing to map it to know. for those who CAN'T make it but might have better one day ideas for US, insight/suggestions welcome. I'll be providing BEER and grilling some steaks or something for Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sounds awesome but Halloween and kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've got a party I have to help host at my parents house on Halloween and then clean up the next morning will be in order. I can't commit to saying absolute yes to Sunday but if you can gather a group, I'll do my best to be there Sunday early afternoon. I'll have a better idea once we get closer to Halloween. Great idea though and thanks for the invite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yeah, I figure Halloween might make it hard w/ the kids for those that have young ones. Mine is obviously out of town. EA, afternoon for some 2v2 sounds like a winner as well. AN ADD ON if not enough guys can physically make it would be to have a LIVE ONLINE draft/tourney style with some of the games done in person while others done via remote. The key would be everything gets completed in one day, not dragged out like we love to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 ALSO, SNES guys, feel free to reach out. I'd be more than happy to host both systems and maybe even upset a few of you strokes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallywojo Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I will let you know for sure when it gets closer but I think i can do something Sunday. Obviously Saturday will be rough with the kids. Thanks for throwing this out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr68 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 GREAT idea man! I am in the kiddie/Halloween party boat but MAY be able to get down to Palatine on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgman Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Who else is gonna bring their kids to Chicago for Halloween! What's the o/u on m.rate on good ole chi town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Next weekend is Halloween. I think KG is trying to figure out if it's worth the trip or not. I'm working till late Saturday, so I'm not a good mid-day Chicago host. I get out of work around 8 pm, and planned on heading downtown Saturday night to meet up w/ my brother. Anyone else gonna be around Friday night? Saturday on Halloween? to host any out of towners?? Anyone else considering flying in? Also, who is available for Sunday and what time does everyone want to head out to my place? I'd like to get a head count and time so I know what to set up for my Sunday.

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would really like to partake but I need to help out my parents on Sunday with taking everything down from Halloween. Would hate to say I'll be there and then things take longer and I end up declining last second. Sorry guys, I hope to be able to get some Chi town action in soon though.

wallywojo Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I was looking to be there around midday Sunday. Depends on when others show so I maximize my time away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallywojo Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 c'mon buds. Who is in for live 94 action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm out there the next Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think Chi-town would be a great venue for US stop on the KO94 tour. Lots of 94 buds, More Centrally located. A city I would like to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ok, I was trying to do this on Sunday this weekend cause my house was empty anyhow. But, Ice is in town next weekend. Does next Sunday work better for everyone? I'd still be willing to host. Ice what time you get in? EA, you be more able to come out next Sunday?Jagr, what's your availability?Dickon? Wally? I'm still up for this weekend, but if it's just Wally & I, that might be a bit redundant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatTrick94 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I just got back into this game recently and am actually going up to the St. Chalres/Geneva area this Saturday for a party. Wish I had known earlier! Sunday will be spent at the awesome Galloping Ghost arcade before we drive back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
