The Official MRTN Planning and Discussion Thread.

It's going to happen. This Summer. At my place.

MRTN is an *unoffical* ModRetro get-together in Chattanooga, TN. That doesn't mean I can't have the official thread of MRTN. I don't care what anyone says, as far as MRTN is concerned, this thread is official as *PLAQUE*.

First, we need to figure out what times are good for people and what people want to do.
Let's get to it.

If you're on the fence about wanting to be involved, Know that I will be there, and that's all the motivation anyone needs... not to go

BUMP

A little info:
I will be working a the TN Aquarium this summer, so I *may* be able to get a good group rate figured out... I may even be able to get the place rented out so you guys make me have to go to work during MRTN.

As far as when, I would prefer it be in the month of June. Within that period, it's up to discussion.

Lodging would be offered at no cost at my place, or if you absolutely must have a hotel, I'll help you find one.

Food costs are up to discussion. We could split a bill and cook, or we could just have everyone bring extra money for food.

As far as other things to do in Chattanooga: We have all of the lookout mountain attractions, IE: SEE ROCK CITY! We could do that so you can say you've done it. There will also be a music festival at some point this summer, so depending on when people want to schedule, that could very well be an option.

Well flights from my city to Chattanooga are around 400 bucks. I could save up some money by then, though. As far as food costs go, I'd be down for cooking. Also, what tools do you have at your house? It'd be nice to do something semi-productive while there.

I have a dremmel a corded jigsaw; a cordless drill, circ saw, and sawsall; soldering iron, desoldering iron, random hand tools, etc. As far as electronics go, I'm relatively limited, but for carpentry and casework, I can definitely make something happen.

Depending on how your schedule works and what you drive, it may be better for you to drive and grab a couple of people along the way. We know 2 other people that could be enroute for you are interested in coming, so If you could afford the extra 2 days off, that could work out rather well. $400 between 3+ people is a lot better than $400 by yourself.

I currently have 17 n64s and about five controllers. If I can make it, flax going down.

I could probably do the drive. If you were up to it, flights to Memphis are dirt cheap and 200 bucks less but you would have to drive 2 hours. Also I would need a solid daye as to when. And where do you live again, Bud?

Magee, MS. It's about 30 minutes south of Jackson.

ttsgeb · **Posted:** Sat Apr 14, 2012 2:52 pm

He's about 4 hours from Memphis, If you are where I think, it may be better to grab Afro and drive through Jackson and Tuscaloosa to get up to Chattanooga.

I'm about 6 hours from Memphis and about 8 from Jackson.

If I drive yeah. I live in Houston and I can get to Fro in about 4 hours or so. I will just need a definitive date for this to work out. I have to take off work.

Hmm, I'm about 2 hours from Chattanooga. I wouldn't mind joining if there's some interesting going on
