I've met people from a few other sites, but not anyone from NG, I would however like to meet @Ali some day, the guy is pretty chill.

Waaaay back I met an old NG user at a concert. It was weird, he was akward. Or I was drunk and being a dick which is entirely possible. I would do it again if given the chance.


It's okay, I understand you're not as awesome as me.

The State of New York is devoid of Newgrounds People.
Not sure about NYC, but I am too lazy to drive down there.

If there's anyone in my country who visits this site, I almost definitely know them IRL already (usually I'm the reason they found out about Newgrounds in the first place).

I wouldn't even know whether or not they go on Newgrounds unless I met them and somehow I end up mentioning Newgrounds to them and then they reveal that they also go on Newgrounds.

No thank you. I prefer to imagine my fellow NGers to be whatever their user icon is, and seeing them in real life would warp the way I see them.

I met sum dude at my old college who was into music and flash, and he started showing me his flashes on here; but i don't think he ever posted on the forums, and I sadly forgot his username

Uh do you even check the users profile? Most of the time it mentions there location (ie Des Moines, WA which is mines) and sometimes they'll mention it in there posts.

Anyone in washington wanna hang?

Newgrounders should buy GTA: 5 when it comes out ( preferably for PS3 ) and then have a virtual online meet

Yea, I've made plans before, sadly the users lived across the state and have no transportation. I don't mind meeting IRL, turns out most NG-ers that want to meet me IRL want in my pants. Which I am happy to provide.

A shame none of it has followed through

I've been to a couple meet-ups over the years. Admittedly, sometimes the first round of introductions can be a bit quiet, but usually within the day you're interacting just like normal friends

Drinking helps speed that process along.

I've been to a couple of the Newgrounds meets but even excluding those I've met up with a couple users. Spent 4 or 5 days in Manchester 2 years ago to meet up with Toast-Tony and one of his friends who isn't a NG user. Also met up with Fim on the Sunday night. Was a pretty good weekend.

It'd be cool to meet some more of you guys but most of the users I'd be interested in meeting live too far away, in America/Canada. Even the UK users I'd like to meet are way down South which doesn't make it all that practical.

Yea, for me personally, Manchester is probably the best place for some kind of NG gathering. Not because it's the closest city or anything (that'd be Edinburgh) but I always thought Manchester was a decent city and I can get there by bus pretty cheap although it does take like 4 hours or something. Every time I've met with NG users it has been in Manchester but I've not been there since January 2012.

If there was ever another meet there, "official" or not, and I had some money to burn I'd definitely consider it.

A bunch of nerds wearing Newgrounds logos won't pick up many chicks. But I mean if I was there we'd be rolling in pink.

Quite a few of you guys down in that part of the world. Might be mistaken but I think Snuff and Dromedary are South West England too. Ejit is somewhere around there for part of the year. Seems South West England is where all the cool NGers are.

I wouldn't mind meeting Cyberdevil, because he seems like a decent enough fellow, and just for the hell of it if I ever go to Germany I would track @Asandir down just to be able to say that I've met him.
