I'm probably wrong but that's my guess.

I'm going to make it for sure, especially since its going to be in NYC. So put me on that list.

I think we will get a lot more users than you think coming to this, BNM. I mean, we have a couple cool places to check out already listed, and NYC is fairly convenient to get to by car/train/plane, that I think a lot of people will end up showing up just for the hell of it.

Guys I really don't want to be a party pooper because I would really like to come and hang out with all of you. Money is going to be an issue so I don't want to be like 'YES YES YES YES IM COMING' and then cancel right near the end. I want to let you guys know that I'm skeptical about the financial feasibility.

This is the only thing I noticed.

Anyway - that's a shame. I hope you end up being able to come, but thank you for not getting our hopes up with false promises. I assume that Zerok is also part of this 'maybe attending' crowd now too?

And I know August 1st is a long way off - that's why I am not too concerned about people not telling us that they will or won't be attending. Most of us have no idea what we will be doing this summer and when we will have a weekend free. So though we only a have a core group right now (and it is a solid core that's bigger than I expected, actually), I'm sure when people start to finalize summer plans in May and June, we'll get a lot more people telling us that they can definitely can or cannot attend.

I might show up for a day or two.

I'm 17 and from NYC.

It'll be weird hanging out with a bunch of tourists in my city though. :p

I hope not. But we'll see what happens when the meet-up draws nearer.

There's a list of possible activities earlier in the thread. If people want to add/subtract from it, please do. I'm sure a couple people would be willing to go to clubs or try to get into bars if some really wanted to.

Haha...funny.

But this is one of those things you have to do once in your life. If you've been on Newgrounds for as long as most of us, it's going to be natural to wonder what they're like in person. I really do wonder what this group of sick people are like in person, and I already know what they think about me.

"Cock Joke"

But realistically, this is one of those things that I feel like everyone should try and make it to. It's pretty much the type of thing you can say you went to for a good time out of random, with people you only knew from the internet. I mean, honestly, how disturbing sounding is that to your friends?

Exactly my point... I don't even know what fun activities can anyone under 21 do in U.S.A. Meet-ups with Alcohol = Fun.

Meet-ups without Alcohol = Boring.

So many situations can happen under influence of alcohol... that wouldn't happen otherwise....

Did I not say over a million times that this is New York City...getting alcohol is EASY AS HELL. You don't even need a fake ID in some places, you just have to go and they give it to you.

FBI, your actions grew old quite some time ago, you know, when you came in and didn't give any positive input at all, just told us how we would fail at having this meet-up and would get nothing out of it.

Well, alcohol is easy to come by, we WILL have people there over 21, and if they so decide to get it then awesome, if not then we can always find a way to get it ourselves.

So, please do us a favor and don't continue to post here unless you have something at least neutral to say.

ANYway. I'm still in for whatever we're going to do. I'm sure we can all still have fun WITHOUT imparing our judgement in anyway...

If you have a hotel room, people who can buy lots of beer and don't care about leaving the place as a mess, you'll be fine :P But I was looking at the old "London Meet-up" a few users like BBM and Burnzoid had and it looked pretty boring without a drop of alcohol :(

So do we have everything mapped out? Are we all set for this to happen or what? What else needs to happen before we actually go through with the plans?

Haha - yes, this is going down.

I'm just not in any rush right now to start finalizing the list of people coming or the activities, as we are nowhere near the summer yet and most people don't know what they are going to be doing in early August. As more people figure out their summer plans, financial situation, etc., then we will begin making the final plans for the meet-up.

Also, I was recently talking to Elios and he mentioned that he could get us a great deal on a hotel room at the Hampton Inn. What was suggested is that we get a bunch of smaller rooms at regular price, and then he'll get us a huge 6-8 person suite (normally $370) for $30, which can serve as a hang-out area for the group. For those that mentioned alcoholic beverages, this would provide the group with a place to drink.

While we do need to figure out who is interested in staying with us at the Hampton pretty soon, I still want to delay as long as possible, so all of those users who are still unsure if they can make it have an opportunity to come and stay with us.

So just give me a little longer to talk to people and figure things out, then we'll begin to finalize what we are doing on which days.

We will probably have too many people to fit into cars, but the subway can get us to anywhere we need to go, from what I hear.

I tend to advise against packing weapons for this meet-up.

The price shouldn't be too ridiculous, considering we will be splitting the cost amongst a bunch of people, and we have Elios' discount.

Think there's a Boston-NYC train? I know I could take the T from the town near me down to Boston, but from there I'm a bit stranded.

Yeah - I've trained from Central Jersey to Boston, so there must be one that runs from Boston to NYC. Its not like New York is a small, one-horse town or anything. I bet you could train there from Texas, let alone Boston.
