Games Social Update

Hope everyone who made it had a fun time at the brunch this morning. It was good to see everyone. A few of us had a chance to talk about game night so I wanted to get everyone updated and start getting some input from everyone. We're planning it as a late afternoon or evening event with the finish time to be determined when you have nintendo thumbs or wii tennis elbow.

First and foremost the food update. Jarod won't be able to barbeque to some commitments earlier in the day so we have a couple other options. 1. Grill hot dogs/burgers or fajitas during the social. 2. Order pizzas. Reply back to Sherrye or myself with your preference. We're looking to try and keep it right at the $5 mark again.

Second the games. Here's what we have right now.
1. Living Room - Nintendo Wii (dan's bringing 2 extra controllers to make 4 controllers)
---Games: Wii Sports, Mario Kart (maybe), Wii Play (dan)
2. Master - Nintendo circa 1988 (if I can find our power cord or if someone else has one)
---Games: Super Mario Bros., Tetris, etc.
3. Game Room - XBox 360 (courtesy Dan) & two guitars
---Games: Guitar Hero III
4. Office: TBD (I have a PS2 that could go here but only 1 controller, I'd prefer an old school system)
---Games: TBD

Ok. That's where we are at right now. I know we can do better and make this a true "relive your youth "weekend with old school systems like Atari, Nintendo, Sega, etc. So let us know if you have a game system you'd be willing to bring or group friendly games or accessories for any of the above. Please post below. We just have the 4 tv's but have room to do probably a couple more if someone wants to bring an old TV (if you bring a new one I can't promise you won't be going home with one of my old ones in its place!). Post what your bringing if anything for entertainment so we can get an idea of where we'll be and start working on your old school skills. (no looking up cheats allowed)

Also if interested and anyone has any we could probably setup a couple outdoor games like washers or horsheshoes in the back if we're grilling. Thanks - Jason

Sherrye and I will be there - I will also bring Rock Band - same concept as Guitar Hero, just a greater catalogue of songs (sorry, I don't have the drums and/or microphone to go along with it though). Looking forward to it.
