I reckon it'd be a great opportunity to raise awareness for the Shenmue III PayPal.
A basic table and chair is pretty steep at £280, but if there's 4 or more of us that'd be less than £70 per person. I've got a small 15" LCD monitor I could bring along (that's how I play on my Dreamcast via VGA) and a copy of the UK game, though if anyone has burned discs of the Jap-dub/Eng-sub version we could go with that instead. I've also got a sealed JP copy I could put on display, and if anyone else has any Shenmue merch they wouldn't mind bringing along to pretty up the table that'd be much appreciated.
I'm planning on spending the whole weekend there but even if you've got just a few hours to spare some of us could take it in shifts for piss breaks/food/games of Lucky Hit.
Speaking of Lucky Hit, if anyone is any good with woodwork it'd be amazing if we had a Lucky Hit board for the table. And if anyone has any capsule toys they're willing to part with or can make their own, we could sell those to go towards the PayPal.
A few fans from the UK Shenmue Meetup "The Long Zha" should be coming along on Sunday the 29th, so even if you don't want to volunteer at the table it'd be great to have your support by just popping by the table and asking us if we know of any bars where sailors hang out.
