I've always wanted to do something like this and have never gotten around to it, but I'm wondering if anyone else has. I figured there should be a thread for people to talk about any past shmupmeets they may have held, and maybe talk about the highlights and stuff.

I'd like to hear about this as well. Most of the shmupmeets "close" to me tend to be in New York which is still quite a haul.. I imaging it's got to be easier to arrange such a gathering in a more metropolitan setting.

I'm also wondering what kind of impact all of the new "Virtual Console" style shmup releases is having as far as creating new fans for the genre. Maybe it will become easier to arrange a shmupmeet in a more rural setting once these folks realise that there is actually an established community of fans for these types of games online.

At least I hope so. smile.gif
