Hotels are soooo expensive though. Especially since it's a weekend.

True dat. I remember AloneInTheDark stayed at a hostel when he came to visit at the last meet. You could probably PM him and ask him where he stayed.... if luxury isnt a big deal to you and youre on a budget thats like one option.

Do the brothels in London allow you to sleep after you bust a nut in some horrible old grandma's "Butt"? Its mixed up here but some of them double up as a B&B for the legit front.

well its actually like a week long event starting the thurs prior to the meet ..... i just dont feel like having 25 people hanging around me every single day so i dont really publicize whats going on during other days in an attempt to keep the group small on other days. If you are in town though and want to know whats going on in other days just let me know i guess. It mostly involves drinking generally.. although i havent really planned anything yet.

Hanging out in a pub would get a little stale after a while, and I'm not big on drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk. I'd be interested in coming to the meet-up if you arrange something more, seeing as it'll only take me about half an hour to get to the London Eye.

You'd think. But most of the people i've talked to who are going/gone before and two steps shy of being chronic alcoholics so...

I'll probably go to this since I could easily get there, just wondering if anyone I know is going to this as well, don't want to be an outcast :[

Well.. the actual meetup day (saturday aug 30th) is setup so that it covers a wide gammut of things to do (or not do if you dont feel like it)

Typically we meet around 1 at the London Eye.. then we migrate over to namco.. most everyone that shows up likes arcade games so that goes on for a few hours.. someone suggested that if the weather is decent and the ground isnt soggy that we partake in a large 'football' game... im not really a sports type but ill do it if alot of people are interested in that which seems like a very likely possibility... anyway after the majority of the afternoon is spent on that we head to find a place to eat something and that can accomidate the large group. Once that is over.. its probably begun to get dark so alot of the younger crowd or the ones that dont feel like hanging out begin to go home... the older crowd thats left over we generally go on a pub crawl... generally its not to get bloody wasted but just to continue to mingle over a good beer. That about wraps it up late at night when the pubs make their last call. The End.

If you are more the drinking type then obviously youd end up staying for the late night activities ... if your not then probably the first half of the day would be more worthwhile for you... all in all its great talking ng offline with people and thats why people come out.

Theres an appeal to being an outcast, cause everything is so new and shit... the cool thing about all the meets that ive gone to and even mod meats is that youre like thrown into an environment where you are forced to make friends and its suprisingly easy to do so because despite the fact that essentially everyones a stranger you can revert back to newgrounds in regards to striking up conversation. So if all else fails you can just ask someone so whats your favorite movie/game on ng? or somethin like that.

Unless it's your birthday ofcourse, in which case we WILL all buy you rounds of drinks and get you pissed ;)

oh god dont even remind me. I still need to punch whoever the fuck it was that bought me double shot of gin and sambuca.

Woah...

So I just received a phone call today. It seems I was chosen to be on the game show Pyramid. They're taping the show in 2 weeks, and I guess if I win a significant enough sum, I'm definitely going to the London Meet-up!

I don't think so, I don't think it was on back then. It's a new TV show here in Quebec, but it's been on US television for a while now...

Though I'll be playing for 3,000$ a show, not 100,000$ :P

AAAH YEA I LOVE THAT SHOW. If you do make it over to london we'll have to recreate that show for you. Ironically, I was actually thinking of making a small animation around a skit based on this show.

well good luck winning 100 g's or 3!

I'm not exactly a keen drinker, but I'd up for staying up and "mingling". I hope I'm not busy that day then.
