Boston's fairly close, but what with Montreal sapping the last of my potential funds it looks bleak for me. Plus I'd be in school in July, full-time.

Oh well good luck have fun. :)

Well, it looks like everybody agrees on July 25th! :D
A few questions.
Should we bring our own money? Ya know, to pay for our hotel rooms, food, and other stuff?
Or is someone gonna pay for it all?

And what kind of activities would thar be?

Life, yerdoinitwrong.

You've got to say it firmly and steadily, so people are confident about joining and it's not loosely decided. here's how you should have done it:

" We're meeting at X at hour Y. Who's coming?"

WTF? I'm 14, and I'm going. I just gotta take the T-train in.

Life, if it's gonna be one day long, is it gonna be a long day? Like what hour is everyone gonna start meeting at?

I'll be working, assuming I left ASAP when my week of work at summer camp that week ended and didn't get lost, at all i'd probably end up getting there between 1 and 3.

Is that cool?

And it better be an all day thing at least otherwise i'm not coming.

Also PM me if the date changes at any point and when the location and times are set please.

Got it.

I don't think it should be overnight, I think it should be from say 11 to 11 or something like that.

Everybody who lives within a 2 or so hour long drive will just go to bed really late that night.

And Any user coming from a really far away I think should just arrange to stay over another nger's house overnight.

Better than no friggin cheap ass Boston hotel.

Also there is the matter of the meeting location, do you guys want to meet at a restaurant or what?

Meh, sometimes it's better to get a feel for what people want first, especially if it's an "unestablished" meet.

If I ever host one I'd likely make a "preliminary plan" thread and finalize a date then make an official thread. Or at least establish some goers via PM first so there's an immediate bunch of people to post saying "YES I'M GOING FOR SURE!"

It's all about the marketing. ;)

Well, I'm lucky. Takes like 20-30 minutes for me. Sometimes way less, hell I can see Boston from all the beaches.
For a meeting place, an probably easy one to find is the science museum, Hardrock Cafe, or the aquarium isn't too bad.
Since we're all meeting at like a 11 or so, I think I'll end up going in around like 8 or something, hopefully.

Your lucky it will be between a two and a three hour long drive for me depending on where in boston, if I get lost which I probably will, etc.

Yeah but I think the whole meet has to be at one location, I mean what about the people like me who'll arive later in the day when you guys have all left?

So we need to find a location in Boston where we can hang out for 12 or so hours without being yelled at police and the like, and that will be interesting for 12 or so hours.

Since we're all meeting at like a 11 or so, I think I'll end up going in around like 8 or something, hopefully.

So you're going to get there like an hour early?

We're not staying in one spot the whole time, that's lame. I think the aquarium is a great starting location though.

Ya, it is pretty lucky. For those places though, I was listing them as suggestions for a place where we could meet. So i don't know if those are places we plan to go to during the day. But if we do plan on moving around I'll offer to put out my phone number for people on the day of the meet-up incase anyone comes and doesn't know where the group is. For a one place location to stay for the whole day is kinda tricky with Boston I gotta say. In Cambridge which is on the other side of the river, i've hung out in the MIT w20 building all day. Also I have a cool camp during the summer that is there. But since we're gonna stay in Boston then we should probably seek-out a secret arcade hidden in the dangerous underworld of China Town. ...or hangout in the Tuft's Dental School building which takes up most of China Town.
But no, honestly does anyone know where a really really good arcade is in Boston? I can find a few o.k. ones but I want a really good one. We should all see a movie though, IMAX or Boston AMC theater.

Ya, I'm going to try my best to get in between 8-10, I'm about 95% sure that the user Esmodius is coming with me too.

Alright then we are going to have to make a schedule.

Cause if you guys start at 11 and I get there at 3 I sort of doubt you'll all still be at the aquarium.

Also is this a 18+ only meet or everyone can come meet?

I'm pretty sure that it's no age restrictions. I think somewhere life said it didn't matter. Cause I think I might be the youngest one going to this right now.

I've posted on here way too much I think. So, basically I'll most likely see all of you on July 25, @ 11 @ the aquarium? I'll probably head in a few hours early and wait around the "gathering" spot. I'll offer to post my cell number if anyone wants me to if you think you'll be late so I can tell you the location the group is currently at. So, goodnight everybody.

by the way.. SOMEBODY BRING A CAMERA SO WE CAN POST PICTURES ON NEWGROUNDS AFTER THE MEET

Hmm, if Rig is really in, we could share a ride, and since its only a 5h drive, why not?
I'm in!

Oh, and if no date has been chosen yet, may I suggest the weekend of May 16th-17th? May 18th is an holdiay here in Canada, so that's definitely a plus for us :3

Too bad I'm too young to go places without my parents getting pissed off though.

Enjoy your time though.
