Yes, I plan on going on the Saturday, which i think is March the 13th. My sister is also coming, she wants to meet Gory. No groping.

All right then.

Anyway, I asked Gory to push the meet to the Ferry since it's easier to find and less irritating to get to. Then we could take the train to wherever the hell we wanted and I'd be out of your hair before you goons decide to start drinking. I also have no problem bringing extra money for Luis to get wasted, or for someone to eat if we go to a real fancy restaurant like McDonalds. Since I live right across the water on Staten Island, it'd take me only about 30-40 minutes to get to the ferry and hopefully I'll be there before Gory :D

I'm still thinking about it--I really am, although I don't know if I'll make any final decisions for a while. It's very easy for me to get to the Whitehall Terminal, personally, although it might be a little hard to get to for people who aren't nearly as familiar with NYC as I am. Some of the people who plan on coming to this meet have never been here before. Bryant Park takes a shorter time to get to, and it's right in the middle of Midtown, so people would be less likely to get lost around there.

And please be aware that taxi fare is a lot of fookin' money in the city.

Yeah, I would highly discourage taxi riding, personally. The fares are already way too expensive as they are now, and taxi riding just got even more expensive recently due to a 50 cent hike, which will be used to fund the MTA as part of the bailout plan Albany passed this summer.

Whatever you do, don't try to "break it to him." That's not a very smart idea. He may be a power hungry dick, according to you, but he has allowed you back in before multiple times in the past, only to kick you out again a short time later. Seriously, if I were you, I would just 100% avoid any confrontations with him, even if he really is a dick. You're not going to make your life any easier if you keep fighting with him.

4-5 times a month on average.

Amazingly enough, I do, and I even met the authors (Stan and Jan Berenstain) once at a Barnes and Noble book signing when I was extremely little.

Very, very early in my life. I guess sometime in my infancy. I shared the same room with my parents for the first 13 and 1/2 years of my life due to living in small Manhattan apartments, so them having sex was an almost daily reality for me, and something I eventually just got used to over the course of time.

Since you're coming from Florida, you're going to have to pay quite a bit of money. I guess I have nothing else to tell you other than to just do what you can to get as much money as possible until then.

Hopefully you can share some of them with me since I ended up in 3rd place.

I hope I win those chicken wings. Currently I'm in the final 4.

So yeah, get in here.

Shucks. For 25 bucks, I can buy 24 beers or so. Maybe I'd rather go with that option.

Oh well.

Timmy, DeLuca & I can gather up some ho's.

Those hos will start to gravitate towards me once they see how sexy I am...you can bet on it.

I'll just fuck around until you guys are all out and what not.

Since I haven't visited in two years and I was born in NY. It'd be nice to see it again.

I mean, there's a lot to do around the area of the sex museum, especially on 23rd Street. Just stick together and walk around, I guess. Or maybe I'll develop a concrete alternative plan so you have something to do while the 18+ers are in the museum.

I hope the same can be said for me.

I'm entitled to a hooker, right?

Also, I'll chip in for some booze...just need a fake ID as well.

This is what, the 3rd time you were kicked out recently? Well, you'll manage. Your street smarts are probably a lot better than mine.

Yeah, clearly I do. Your number is one of the very few that I already have. Anyone else who plans on going, and whose number I don't have, should PM me whenever possible.

You may be under the recommended age, but I believe I did say in my first post that there's no age restriction. In any case, I understand your decision completely.

That can certainly be arranged. I have no problem taking everyone to Central Park since I grew up only 2 blocks away from there and used to ride my bike there frequently, mostly inside Heckscher Playground. I'll try to keep everyone posted on the temperature when we get closer to the meet-up date, so that everyone is adequately prepared weather-wise.

At 11/9/09 10:22 PM, Luxury-Yacht wrote: I am seriously considering going to this just to drink with you.

I'm only a 1-2 hour train ride from NYC (I think it's only 1-2, I haven't taken the train there in ages), so I might be able to do it, but at this point in time, I don't know if I'll be busy or not.

Location: Albany, NY

It's going to be more like 3 and 1/2 hours or so. Also, I don't usually take the Amtrak to Albany anymore. I prefer Megabus since it's a lot cheaper.

This has been in the works for quite some time, and now I think it's an opportune time to officially announce the Newgrounds New York City Meet-Up 2010.

Who: NGers.

When: This will be a 2-day meet-up. The tentative dates for this meet so far are Saturday, March 13, 2010 and Sunday, March 14, 2010. If you're coming from way, way out of the New York Metropolitan Area and need a hotel room, then you are going to be responsible for booking it yourself. I really wish I could accommodate people at my place, but that is very, very unlikely, unfortunately.

Where: NYC, of course. I'm probably going to make the initial meetup site at Bryant Park, close to the entrance on the South East side of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue. There are a number of places I could take everyone to afterwards, and of course I'm not limited to these: Central Park, Chelsea Piers, South Street Seaport, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the Transit Museum, the Museum of Sex (18+ only), Coney Island (the NY Aquarium is there, but whether we go or not depends on everyone's budget), etc. A Staten Island Ferry ride would probably also be good, especially for people who don't live anywhere near NYC.

What: Although I'm not going to enforce any age restrictions for this meet, it would be nice if the majority of people who showed up to this are at least 18 years old. If you need a reason for that, here it is: as aforementioned, there is a possibility that I might take everyone to the Museum of Sex on 5th Avenue (current admission fee: $14.50 + tax), which has an adults only admission policy.

I've lived in NYC all my life, so I'm familiar with the overall geography of all 5 boroughs, mass transit, and numerous places of interest. The point of this thread for me is to get an idea of who's going, to answer any questions or address any concerns you have, and to brainstorm as many ideas as possible for potential meetup activities. As a native New Yorker, I have a lot in mind, but I also want to hear from everyone else here.

Also, I recommend bringing at least $50-$100 regardless of where you're coming from, mainly to cover food, transportation and other activity-related expenses (bowling, museum-dwelling...basically that kind of stuff).

Since it's currently November 2009 and the meetup isn't going to happen for another 4 months, it's important that you keep track of all of the latest posts in this thread. Also, if you don't have my cell number yet, PM me requesting it. Some of you probably already have my number, especially if I've already given it to you via Stickam, but if you don't have it, just ask me so I can keep in contact the day of the meet and make sure no one gets lost.

And one last, but VERY important note: if you're flying into NYC from another state or country, let me know when your departing flight is scheduled, when your expected arrival time is and which airport you will be landing at. You may not know immediately, but as soon as you find out, let me know. This will help me in deciding what time of the day is best to start the meet on the 13th.

All right, that's about all, so ask away and/or let me know if you're coming or not.

Since shortly past 10 AM EST on November 4, 2009. So 5 days is the answer. Most of my rooms tend to last a long time and this is no different.

At 11/9/09 08:56 PM, Jon4life wrote: So, is there going to be a new room? Or am I just going to have to wait this hour off?

You'll have to wait it out because I stopped EJR's mass kick in time, and despite it, the current room is still active.

This is why you should bring Lysol to school every day to clean up the toilet seats before you use them.

Ideally, you should be able to go through school without ever shitting in the school bathrooms, but emergencies such as sudden diarrhea are sometimes inevitable and good preparedness can help in these situations.

Metalcore bores me. It always has. I can't think of a time in which I ever truly, genuinely liked it.

Blargh...also, I missed Vader and Decrepit Birth a couple of nights ago for financial and work-related reasons. I'll be lucky if I can even make it to one more gig before the year's up.

It's late at night and I'm bored as fuck, so get in.

Thanks for voting, GoryBlizzard! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 16,030 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 39. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 23 hours, 51 minutes, and 42 seconds.

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

So yeah, I'm level 39 now.

I seem to recall you posting a thread about how underweight you were recently, and indeed you looked extremely skinny to me. As I recall, I told you I thought it would be good for you to gain at least 10 to 20 pounds. I still think that. So just keep eating there, but once your weight shoots up to about 180 or so (not like it's going to happen for a while), that's when you know you should stop.

Yeah, Asperger's can be a fucking bitch to live with, but I try not to let it (or my major depression and schizophrenia) debilitate me too much despite how tough that can be. As for my experience, I wish I had more of it. My social skills still suck, the only friends I have are my old friends from years back, and I've only been going to parties on a regular basis for just a little over a year--since August 2008, when I first entered college as a freshman.

The OP is 17, which would lead me to believe that he's probably a senior in high school. Generally, in high school, there are a lot of factors that make it much harder to party unlike in college, where parties are usually everywhere on Friday nights. I only went to two parties in my entire high school career, and some people might be lucky to even make it to one before graduating.

At 11/6/09 03:54 PM, applespider wrote: Are parties something you're invited to, or do you just show up?

Depends. I rarely if ever get personally invited to parties. All of the parties I go to these days are at frat houses, and I get invites via Facebook which are sent to thousands of people. So I just go alone and show up.

Everything's fucked up.

So when you woke up, was the girl still there?

If not, this whole thing probably didn't happen, but just get tested anyway. If this this happen and all of this is real (I don't really think it is anymore), then I predict your next thread is going to be entitled "I Have [insert STD here]."

Which part of Northern NJ do you live? I would think many parts of Northern NJ have NJ Transit bus stops and train stations which connect to other parts of the state as well as NYC. I live just across the river from you in NYC, but I also have many of the same problems relating to socialization, minus the playing Runescape part.

But seriously, I know I'm not the first person to say this, but if you can somehow get into a party within the next year or two, then drink your ass off, or even just a little bit. If you've never had alcohol before, it may take a little getting used to. You need to develop a taste for it. Try to get used to drinking it on your own whenever you can. Me personally, I drink whenever possible--although most of the time, I do so alone and not in any social situations. Don't refrain from drinking just because the legal drinking age here is 21. Besides the U.S., only Ukraine, South Korea and Malaysia have an absurdly high drinking age of 21, which is fucking bullshit. Fuck the law and just get drunk.

Lately for me, I tend to hit the sack between around midnight to a little past 1 AM. In the past, it used to be more like 10-11sh most of the time.

Were you wearing a condom when she sat herself on your dick?

My guess is no.

Obviously there's something just not right about her. Go get tested at a free clinic.
