September Meet - New York City

edited August 2013 in Meet and Greet
So Xarcon is coming to visit the area all the way from Japan, so i thought it'd be cool idea to plan a meet for people in or near the area. He'll be around Sept 20-27 so i think the 21st would be best. Anyone who might be interested, please post! I will try to drag Daevos and Kelly up here too :p

    Popping in before class to say: I live here, so I'm in. September 21st is a Saturday, for those who don't have a calendar handy.

    Damnit! I ordinarily go to school within 2 hours of there, but for the semester I'm going to be elsewhere. Sadface.

    Errbody's welcome. I can help get cheap hotel rooms
  • SidonieSidonie
    11 hour drive... hmmm... maybe.
  • ShulamitShulamit
    I'll try. Getting a bus into the city from AC isn't too hard, just a matter of money at the time.

    I probably won't head up, but I'll be up there on the 28th for the No-Gi Pan. Anyone in the area is welcome to come out to see what a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament is like.

    @Kelly and i were chatting and we think that since some of you are thinking of coming to the city for the first time (lookin at yoooou @Xena) a bit of sightseeing may be in order. To that end the meet will extend to Sunday as well. Kelly will look into some cheap hotels while i plan awesome events and stuff to do. Looking foward to seeing you all next month!

    Oh man, how did I get the sucky job.

    You let Revan decide!

  • RevanRevan
    Psh you told me you would. Don't complain :p
  • KaimanahiKaimanahi The One True Queen
    No, I said maybe I'd look at hotel prices in NJ for comparison, given the proposed alternatives. That didn't translate into me being responsible for it, and not relinquishing planning authority to you! :P

    In any case, I would suggest picking a time/place for the official meet, for anyone who just wants to mingle. But I am probably up for extracurricular shenanigans, before Saturday, too.

    Easy: times square (42nd and 7th) at 3pm on the 21st

    I might just take a road trip down there.

    Tonight amidst the mountaintops
    And endless starless night
    Singing how the wind was lost
    Before an earthly flight

    Sounds like visiting Brooklyn/DUMBO and then walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to bring them to Chinatown.
  • SidonieSidonie
    Sounds like I am driving up for the meet. Yay? 
  • RevanRevan
    Lower east side by chitown is def in the plans, especially for the nighttime clubbing. I'm open for brooklyn too, though that's a long subway ride
  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    I live by Rockaway Blvd on the A line, so anywhere is a long subway ride. But if we start early in Brooklyn, we can make our way to Chinatown. Especially if any of them are as out of shape as I am and we're walking across the bridge, Gods know they'll need the time to get across.
  • SidonieSidonie
    Walking? Uh oh...
  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    Smells better than the trains, 90% of the time. Also, it's walking across a bridge. It's fun. And you won't even be the slowest, the asthmatic in the group will be. Also, I'd get to tell you guys (Or Revan could!) about the locks on the bridge.
  • KaimanahiKaimanahi The One True Queen
    What's to do in Brooklyn? Manhattan has a ton.

  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    Pizza, mostly. Also, walk around. Counting hipsters. Shopping is cheapest in Brooklyn (and the Bronx, but that's a real pain to get to...)

    I'm sure there's even more than that, but I'm only a semi-Brooklyn native of the southern end, so I'd have to poke at the other Brooklynites for stuff to do. Though, there is the promenade, which has a nice view!
  • RevanRevan
    It's probably logistically easier to stick to mid/downtown Manhattan, just for the sake of those who aren't familiar with the city. I'll me making an itinerary in the next coming weeks, just to have some structure. Ultimately we'll be winging it... but it's always nice to have a little plan to go by ;)
  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    We should karaoke. Karaoke makes everything more embarrassing fun.
  • RevanRevan
    That was actually in the plan. What a mindreader you are! http://www.karaokeduet.com/
  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    I used to go there all the time! Unfortunately, they're always booked now, and have cracked down on sneaking in food. Also hate the stairs climbing into that place. And if we don't get the jumbo room (group has to be, I think, 8 or larger) we'll be sadfish.

    I'm actually impressed by the number of people interested in getting together. To be honest, I thought it would just be Mr. Revan and myself hanging out in the City.

    Fair warning, I'm a 40 year old, overweight balding dude so I'm okay with anything that doesn't involve running away from police officers. Plus, I'll avoid any form of alcohol due to the fact that I tend to get naked while intoxicated.

    Can't forget to mention that I'll be extremely jet-lagged on that day so some of you might have to carry me around.

    > 40 year old

    Younger than my dad, you're fine.

    > Overweight

    Join the club, we have twinkies!

    > Running away from police officers

    If we're not protesting or robbing a place, we'll be fine with that.

    > I'll avoid any form of alcohol

    Unintoxicated buddy! I, too, will not be touching the gift of the Gods!

    > I'll be extremely jet-lagged on that day so some of you might have to carry me around.

    Please, it's NYC. For certain areas, just lift up your feet, the crowd will carry you. Not necessarily to where you want to go, but they will.

    You people suck planning a big New York thing after I've moved far far away.
