Title: Archercon Updates!!!
Post by: Archer on March 12, 2007, 07:15:12 AM
Archercon is STILL a Go!!

  I have aquired two 3.5 x 6 foot tables from drill so we have the dining room table and these for fighting... all I need is enough terrain.  Josh has stated he's bringing stuff which is great.

  If anyone can bring city-fighting terrain, that would be great; having a throw down in such I find fun...

  Playstation games: I have Grand Turismo 4 for racing and the aforementiond NCAA 06 Football.

  Minis-wise besides UWZ and Chrono, if anyone wants a game of Battletech, I am up for that too and can field most any tech/weight class.

Major Details

Address:
1410 Hampden Blvd
Reading PA 19604

From Maplewood:  78 westbound to PA and look for 100 South.  100 South to 222 South and follow 222 South towards Reading.  Take 222 Business when it splits off (becomes 5th Street Highway) and take Rt 12/Warren Street Bypass EAST to Spring Valley Road South (two exits).  This becomes Hampden Blvd.  Look on right side after the ninth street you pass; the next street you see *should* be Amnity (street #10).

  The house is in between Amity and Pike with the number and roses on the door in Gold.

From Philadelphia-  Get to Pa Pike and head WEST.

I-76 to exit 298 (I-176/Morgantown).
I 176 North to 422 west.
422 West to Penn Street.
Penn to 5th Street and Make Left
5th Street to Spring Street (nine streets down 5th) Make Right
Follow Spring down into valley and back up again.  At the top of hill where it meets 13th, cross over and it becomes Hampden.  Follow Hampden up four blocks and the house is on the LEFT.


Or you can mapquest with the address above. :)

I am looking at a 11am start time but earlier arrivals are cool too.

  Snack and Beverage Contributions are Accepted and encouraged. :)

  Please bring Slippers!!  With a nice rug, all the traffic is gonna be brutal on it so I was asked to encourage slipper use.

Please respond with an affirmative if you are coming...

Bill and I are hopefully riding with Bryon.  'Better call him and make arrangments!!  I'll have three mats, lots of jungle terrain, some desert stuff.  You've seen most of what I have at Between Books.  Hopefully I'll grab some more between now and then.  Hehe.

I will tell her you said so.  Come early as she leaves about 2:30 or so to head down to Baltimore for the Vampire game she ST's for.

If I came to table with anything but my best you guys philly would eat me alive!

and for the record if I played any other army against that hellish HTH dark legion army of yours you would had me for lunch and thats the truth....evil evil HTH DL army.
(and if the game would have gone a few turns more you've might of turn it around)

Take Goodness Lord H. and boys from BarterTown were up to the task  8)

Bill's got the Warzone bug, bad.  I'll happily play however if it'll help the cause.  To quote Bill Meredith: "Just tell me what I need to roll to hit you!"

Sure thing.  I have some really neat armies availble for play.  I am certain I can outfit you two with something appealing for use.

Steve,

Thanks for the heads up.  Been so busy lately and with the snowstorm coming, I gotta stay over my folk's house and shovel snow. 

Be safe, guys.

That hurts my feelings. I was called Oso Peligroso by members of my Spanish language class at DLI. Rough translation - Dangerous Bear. As for stinking, you wouldn't smell too good after 4 months of sleeping  in a cave.  :P

Alas; While I will be at Archer's this weekend, I am not brining my A-team, I'm playing the step children of Warzone.

But, for those who are going to ORigins, Bring your best..That means your Legion Hal( semai, if i member right) and Tinman better have the machine cranked-up, maybe we can even get the Vulvan Doom army to show. Because It is looking like I will be at Origins this year. And that means I'm bringing the Hammer so we can see who relly has juice. It also forces all you old farts to pull out those legendary armies, we keep hearing about.

And as a bonus I've even painted it all up for once...

Heh.  I always bring my A Game.  However, I can't always get the timing down against some folks.  Like an engine, if the timing is off on execution, performance suffers.

  And I was planning on bringing it and the Cartel Strike Group to Origins anyway.

  No way.

  Well... that explains the snow then...  Hell *HAS* frozen over.

I have a message from the BIG KAHUNA to the NJ crew.

"If I can make it to Reading, its sad that you couldnt."
To Masher
"Given how you played the last time we were together, I can understand your fear."
 
To Jibba
" When I said leave the women and children home, I meant the children of Illian, not you and Steve"

Im just passing the message since Thom isnt near a computer

I never get snowed in...unfortunately, others do, and I have to be available to cover the call center should they decide that ice is too scary to drive upon.

That said, I should make it to the next one.  Yes, you may be afraid.  It won't help, but you may be afraid if it makes you feel better (yeah, it didn't make sense to me, either, but now it's typed for all to see).  ;)
