Skullsixx Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Just wondering if there are any in the area? Quote
Oihan Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I'll be moving to Vegas in about 5 months.... Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 While not a LV resident, I have family that lives in and around the Vegas area so I find myself flying in several times a year. I did attend Otakon Vegas up until it ceased operations. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 26, 2018 Author Posted October 26, 2018 I wouldn't mind getting some sort of group organized for this area if there is enough interest. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I was just back in the LV Area at the beginning of the month pre and then post AX 2019. I probably won't be back in the area until at least the fall at the earliest at this point. Quote
Skullsixx Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 Cool. No worries. If anyone in the area is interested we can always arrange something. Quote
Bolt Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I’ve got family out there now. I’m due for a visit, I guess , at some point.. Of all the insanity in that town, why not add some Macross to the mix? On another note, has Kawamori ever been know to visit that place? Quote
Nevermore Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I'm a Scottish Macross fan living in Vegas. Quote
Skullsixx Posted August 7, 2019 Author Posted August 7, 2019 Right on! If there is enough interest I'd be happy to organize a meet. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 I’ll be in Vegas on 9/8 thru 9/10(?) for IBIE at the LV Conv Cntr. Could meet up for drinks if anyone has time. Quote
Skullsixx Posted August 8, 2019 Author Posted August 8, 2019 If I can get a few locals to generate interest, I'll arrange something. Quote
Bolt Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Kawamori did go to Vegas in the early/ mid nineties. He wasn't into it. Lol.. Quote
Skullsixx Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 That doesn't surprise me. Vegas isn't for everybody. Hey...at least he did stop by. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Looks like I will be back in the LV area sometime between 10/23 and 10/29 GWAR concert.. lol no seriously.. lol again Quote
Bolt Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 OMG...GWAR is still going?? Ya, LOL..! Quote
Skullsixx Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 Well, if we can get 3 or more I'll schedule a time and place around those dates. Thinking a bar on some evening? I know a few good ones. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 By the way, IF anyone is interested I do know a great place we can meet up. Hoping for later in October if so. Quote
deathzealot Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Damn. Should have seen this thread years ago. I have been living in Northwest Vegas for the past seven years. Sigh. I was at LVL Up Expo this last year and briefly at another convention around my first year here though I don't remember which one that was. Anyways. I also planning on going to Phoenix Fan Fusion this years in September. Quote
Skullsixx Posted May 12, 2020 Author Posted May 12, 2020 Nice to see another LV Macross fan. You can always PM me to stay in touch. I used to live up in your area as well. I moved to the south side 4 years ago. Hoping once this virus ends we I can organize a meet up if anyone is interested. Quote
deathzealot Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I am glad there are a few other Macross Fans out here in lovely sunny Las Vegas. Though be warned I am not all that much a fan of say Macross Seven or that the stuff created for DYRL? is so prominent in later Macross productions. When everything calms down and goes back to normal. I usually have breakfast at the Denny's at Craig and Valley on Sunday mornings after I get off work. So feel free to join me there when everything goes to some sort of normal after this pandemic starts to run out. Remember Stay Vegas Strong. Or should that be Vegas Deculture. Quote
Skullsixx Posted May 12, 2020 Author Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Hey, I'm not a big fan of Macross 7. I haven't been much of it all but the premise doesn't really do much for me with Basara, etc. I do absolutely love ALL the visual redesigns and paint schemes for DYRL and much prefer that over the series as well as the animation quality. I'm definitely hoping we can get back to some normalcy however, I think it's going to realistically be a long haul. Stay safe and feel free to contact me here anytime.

Las Vegas Dad Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I'm another Vegas Macross fan/collector. 20 years here from San Diego originally. Watched the ROBO#$%^ series as a kid then in 91' while serving overseas in Okinawa I found the real Macross and enjoyed it ever since. I'm 49 now and still watch Macross and collect too. Good to meet fellow Vegans who love Macross Quote
deathzealot Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 So I am glad there are more Las Vegas Macross Fans out there. So question? What other anime franchise you all follow? Quote
Skullsixx Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Welcome everyone in Vegas! So good to see a few responses. Yeah, introduced to it by Roboschlep and then went out and found the original material. Been a fan a long time. Las Vegas Dad, we definitely have a few things in common. As far as other anime, it varies for me. I really only collect Macross stuff. I do enjoy some of Miyazaki's work like Nausicaa, others like Robot Carnival, Yukikaze, Cowboy Bebop, Ninja Scroll, Sky Blue, Appleseed, Wicked City and Street Fighter. Basically older anime. I know there's more out there, I just haven't seen it all yet. Been rebuilding my collection on Blu-Ray. Thrilled to have MOST of the Macross titles in that format.

rick.vale Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 You guys are all speaking my language! Vegas Macross fan here too. Down in the Mountains Edge area. Sounds like we've got the same ol' story. Carl Macek made me a Macross fan too. Grew up with that until the early 90's when I could start bootlegging the good stuff. If you ever had to spend $35 on a VHS of a 22 minute episode of anime at the local Suncoast video, we are brother's in arms. Quote
Skullsixx Posted June 9, 2020 Author Posted June 9, 2020 NICE rick.vale! By the way I'm right in your area. So cool seeing local Macross fans! Welcome!!! Quote
rick.vale Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Awesome! If we ever get out of this COVID-Nightmare, I'd love to attend whatever meet-up you come up with. Quote
Skullsixx Posted June 9, 2020 Author Posted June 9, 2020 Once we have a vaccine and we're clear I'll be happy to set something up! Speaking of Macross, I just got the This Is Animation Mac Plus book yesterday. It's awesome! Feel free to PM me anytime. Quote
rick.vale Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Nice mag. I haven't had the pleasure of reading it. Currently working on converting an iCade into a dedicated Macross mini-arcade. That's about the most exciting thing I've got going on. All this downtime has me designing the artwork for the vinyl wrap on the cab. I did just get my new bubble visor on my Focker helmet. I'm pretty happy with how the mounting turned out. Quote
Skullsixx Posted June 9, 2020 Author Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Way cool! I have the same helmet! I love it! Edited June 9, 2020 by Skullsixx Quote
rick.vale Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Nice DX collection! I ended up selling mine and downsizing to the Hi-Metal's. Shelf space was turning into a premium at my house. Loving that print too. Quote
