Bowlmani Fest

Post by Fluffyumpkins » Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:26 pm

Who is going? I wanted to go, but it is a long drive. Any chance of a tag along?

If not, can you at least post some pics or stories from the event? Especially Kors K stuff.

Yes, it is indeed a long drive...

I am currently scheduled to go with MonMotha and Jizzon. This is still pending Jizzon's work schedule for next week. I will contact you if things pan out and we have an extra seat.

Lord knows I wish I could go to this. However, due to Uncle Sam's Misguided Children I am screwed over yet again.

Well, I just found out that I will have that period of time free now, but I don't want to drive up there alone so I have to see if there would be anybody else interested in going in a 2nd vehicle before I commit to this.

Did anyone go? Was Kors K a glam rockstar? Were there any terrible songs in IIDX Gold? Was it at least a 16 hour drive? Was Taiko no Tatsujin as fun as it looked? Were there any freestylers? Does Potter have better taste in music than Slake? Was anyone playing IIIrd Strike? Did Kors K wear a Denjin mask and perform an awesome set?




I feel so worthless and unimportant for missing out. :cry:

Gas, Tolls, and Hotel: $105
Entrance to Bowlmanifest on Friday and Saturday: $55
Food: $60
Getting Super Wailing Bonuses with Kors K and on the only legal IIDX Gold machine: PRICELESS!

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's BEATMANIA!!!

Ok, on a more serious note, Andy of TGA is asking for pictures from BMF for a report he is doing for Konami. I know that Ho and Fluffy have pics so they may be interested in going to http://www.tokyogameaction.com/forums/s ... php?t=2695 and sending them there.

Edit: I'm also posting all outside Indy sightings here!

It was such a hole on the outside, and yet I miss it so much already. That pic of you wailing with kors k is great. That last pic pretty much sums up my weekend, heh.

<3 arcade 3rd Strike
</3 square restrictors

IIDX Distorted and Gold were so sexy, and the people there were a lot of fun (especially during the concert). Though...who the fuck forgets to eat all day? Even the trip was nice. It was fun being in Athol with everyone. Oh Chad, you still need to PM me your address so I can send you some of that 3S footage. I reviewed it all the other night; some of it with Urien and Yang is really combolicious.

Don't forget the lovely journey through Shutesbury.

Also, Kors K rocks. Maybe they'll have others next year, like Slake.

Here's to (hopefully) seeing IIDX AC in the US.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

Jesus Christ, it looks like I was about to shoot somebody with my IIDX controller! That bigass Taiko Drum was fucking awesome too, it's just too bad the home version is nowhere near as cool. The square restrictors just plain sucked though on fighting games, I know those are standard for those machines, but it's not hard to change and hopefully that will happen soon.

The first part of Kors K's Bowlmanifest set is up for download!

Oh... after the intro for this podcast, there's an exclusive track that was made just for that performance. I'll just say that MonMotha had on the most appropriate shirt when it comes to that song!

Recently there has been much sadness as it looks like there will be no Bowlmanifest 08. Those who run TGA didn't mention the reasons as to why this decision, but this is very unfortunate as aside from Ho's House this is the holy grail of Bemani in the US!
