    I still think we should set up a designated Skyper for this, so people can Skype in. Or someone recording. There will be people who want to come but can't. Best to record it so people can feel guilty and jealous like they're there with us.
    We're going retro for this GT... only beepers will be allowed.

    So many people going... I'll need to shine my grill, get my suit dry-cleaned, and polish the cane.

    It will probably be your only chance to meet me... unless you want to make the trek to the Land of the Rising Sun.

    ... cane? Old or pimp?
  • Does it still count as retro if I bring my big-ass camera?

    Old and gnarled with a pointy point at the end...

    Hmm... if it runs off of VHS or Beta... sure that's retro enough...

    Though I wouldn't bring any valuables into NYC... The last time I was there about a decade ago I had to hide my money in a safety pouch and keep it hidden under my shirt. And I think now women can only use see-through purses. Heck, I've read that they walk around topless now.
  • Ha, I was in NYC about two years ago in October. It's really no worse than any big city in the big touristy area.

    Xarcon: we've been able to walk around topless for a long while. In 1992, New York state changed the law to allow women to go topless if they so please.

    You really only need to be super careful in Chinatown, moderately careful in other areas. If someone bumps into you, make sure you have everything. I have an over-the-shoulder-under-the-arm purse, and someone tried to snatch it from me after bumping into me, thinking it was just over the shoulder. Yeah...

    No need to stuff things into shirts, though!

    That's what bras are for

    I wasn't sure if Xarcon would want to wear a bra... but okay, you heard the man, Xarcon, you'll need a bra.

    I've thought about it especially with my weight issue. In Japan, there has been a surge of men wearing bras so they started manufacturing specific ones. It helps relieve back problems and its very comfortable.

    There's gotta be more people than the six of us.

    Xena's going. So we're getting there Thursday night and leaving on Monday, if any of the local squatters (I see you Jersey kids) want to get together at some other point over that time period.

  • I'll be there either on Friday night or mid-Friday, depending on my passenger (who is still waiting for her time off work to be approved).
  • You managed to choose the one day I'm absolutely, positively, occupied, didn't you?
  • You can come on sunday :)
  • Yeah, pretty sure the whole weekend, and much of the surrounding time, will be occupied, as the 21st is my wedding day.
  • Oh damn! Grats man! We shall have some drinks in your honor :)
  • And so will I :D
  • ZouviqilZouviqil Queen of Uberjerkiness
    We could also hit up the Casino if y'all want - I haven't been there, but it's 15 mins away from my home, driving. A train goes there.
  • :( The one weekend I -might- have had the chance to ... and I'm going to be up in MA - visiting someone else. :(

    I demand, that Revan come pick me up for a meet next time. *shakefist*
  • Sure, but you gotta pay for my gas :p

    So we are a group of 7 then? Any stragglers please let yourselves be known!
  • KaimanahiKaimanahi The One True Queen
    Glint is probably coming also, but not definite.

    I have a beeper for work, so let's make this happen.

    I'll be off work at around 5-6, may be able to join afterwards depending on where you guys are and what you are doing. Whoever the point person is for this, PM I'll send you my info, keep me updated.
  • If you're counting Penelope coming with me, @Revan, then you're right. There is also a possibility of one other player joining us, but no promises.

    Just to re-confirm, September 21st?

    Do we have a meet-up point or meet-up time?
  • edited September 2013

    So a few of us want to catch Wicked on Broadway. We're shooting for the show at 2 PM Sunday, the 22nd. Please let me know within the next few days if you're interested in going so that we can try to arrange seating. Tickets are going to run anywhere between $100-150 depending on where we sit. Also if anyone is going to NYU and could hook us up with their discount (or something similar), that would also be sweet!

  • There are discount tickets at ramapo as well. I will check them out for you guys

    Nobody will go see Wicked with me, or go to Broadway with me. You have my interest.

    Not an NYU student, but a CUNY (New York City College of Technology) student. That get any discounts?
  • I am sorely tempted, though not sure I can really spend that much for a ticket this month. Definitely interested if any discounts come up though.
