I'm going to heading in to the Port Authority. I'm probably going to take the shuttle to Grand Central. I prefer warm to cold any day... even if it's a bit funny smelling... If I catch a bus at 10:30-ish, then get there around 11:30, walking + shuttle = 12:00-ish. I think I have this down. I just hope that there is a bus at 10:30 and not at 11:00... otherwise I'll be late. I'm not planning to be of course.. I usually get somewhat stressed whenever there are deadlines. I might even get there early.
About the museum, I think that bustatunez's point was that you can't take luggage in there with you. You have to check them at the door. If the attendents are nice and the museum closes fairly late, then we could essentially have them hold it for us. Hopefully the overnight people are packing light.
Should we somehow exchange cell phone numbers and stuff? I wouldn't want anyone to be left behind. That's just a random thought I have.
Oh yeah, by the way, my other friend said he wasn't too sure if he was coming either. So... at the very least, I'll show up by myself... yeah...
Geoffrey Taucer

Doug, quit postwhoring, you postwhore.
Speaking of which, I'm going to hump somebody's leg in the middle of Grand Central.
EDIT: Kat, perhaps we can meet up at Port Authority?

Sure. Since we're meeting up, I'll try to get there a little earlier. If I have to wait, I can play my DS or listen to music... which I generally do since I don't pull out my DS in areas which are highly populated with people.
My cellphone number is 732-397-7464.

He put his number up in the '05 meetup thread too. PM me if you want mine, although it'll probably be unnecessary.
Pi_R_[]ed
12-27-2006, 08:24 PM
I... dont have a cellphone.
Now, odds are, we can leave anytime we want, but I asked this earlier, do we have any idea when, say, dinner is? getting to zircons? How long are we waiting for stragglers at grand central?
Even a better question. I don't visit the city frequently. Does anyone know how to get from Penn Station to Grand Central? I could probably just look it up on a map...
Ooh, I'm getting so excited. I mentioned this before the winter break, but, I did mention this to one freind, it spread... I may be bringing 3. At least, one, but this goes without saying, don't judge me on them.
I'm really looking forward to this... see you all in a few hours!
Bahamut
12-27-2006, 08:27 PM
zircon's is a little too much distance if you're not staying overnight or live in the county - it's about 45 min to an hour by train to get there. Dinner should be sometime at 6-8 or so.
As for Penn Station to Grand Central - take the 1, 3, or 9 (the red subways) up to Times Square, and then take the S (the gray subway) to Grand Central. Find us in the main hall, which is where the information booth with the clock on top of it is. You can't miss it, trust me.
zircon
12-27-2006, 08:28 PM
Yeah, specifically you want to go "Uptown" just one stop from Penn Station... that is how it is labelled.
Pi_R_[]ed
12-27-2006, 08:39 PM
OK, so lets say dinner's over at 9. Are we going right to zircons? Which would mean at about 10. Could I stay two hours and just head home afterwards? May be an inconvenience to me, to go on all those trains, though...
Bahamut
12-27-2006, 08:53 PM
I'd say going on all those trains isn't worth it for just that amount of time - you're from Long Island right? So you'd have to go up to Pleasantville, stay for 2 hours, and then leave to go back to Grand Central, and then take two subways to get back to Penn Station for your train back home. That sounds like too much of a hassle.
Pi_R_[]ed
12-27-2006, 09:40 PM
Yeah, guess so. It'll still be fun. We need a summer meetup, for sure...
José the Bronx Rican
12-28-2006, 12:34 AM
I'm at work again...
We loitered for at least a half-hour last time collecting participants. Try to make it.
You have either the S (shuttle) or the 7 train to get to Grand Central.
7pm's a reasonable suppertime, given a generous amount of time to each of our stops.
We do head to zirc's after dinner.
And I gots me a cell phone for Kwystmas! But I'm waiting for it to be delivered.
I won't be late this time.
DarkeSword
12-28-2006, 12:40 AM
HEY!
Turns out I have two personal days left in the year at work, and if I don't use them, I lose them, so my supervisors are telling me not to go into work tomorrow.
SO
Despite all of my statements that I'd have to go to work tomorrow, I don't. Which means there's a possibility I can make it.
I will let you folks know, most likely in the form of a call to Zircon.
Jillian Aversa
12-28-2006, 01:18 AM

Bahamut
12-28-2006, 01:34 AM
So, it looks like we have 21 people that'll be here, and potentially up to 25.
This'll be great. :D
Kroze
12-28-2006, 02:18 AM
Well... I might be coming to this little "Get together" since its only in NYC and I can just take the bus up.
Yeah, I really love to do things at last minute!
I'm trying to pull Ian up there too.
So yeah... if you see me, do not shoot cause I come in peace!
Geoffrey Taucer
12-28-2006, 03:37 AM
Andy, do you have your strat at your house?
Also, to those of you comming first to Port Authority: what time do you expect to get there? I'll be getting there around 11:30, so if you're comming in to Port Authority, give my cell a call sometime tomorrow after 10:00 am, and we can figure out if/where/when we'll meet before heading off to Grand Central.
José the Bronx Rican
12-28-2006, 04:14 AM
Any more and we'll need a program to follow the players.
I'll have a checklist.
It also gets more difficult to figure out an efficient Metrocard plan.
Anyone who will have or will get their own $7 FunPasses let me know when we all meet up.
Bahamut
12-28-2006, 04:18 AM
Just a last minute reminder, make sure you all bring a good amount of cash, since NYC is no cheap place.

I'm back home. Anyway, here are some pictures. A lot of them are blurry though just because people tend to move around a lot during meet ups (I guess... I don't know, this was my first one). Maybe I should have increased the shutter speed or put it on shutter priority instead of auto...

Hey guys, 2:40am right now, still hanging out over here - just wanted to say that we popped into Nintendo World briefly and they played the following ReMixes...
Star Salzman - Duck Tales - Duck Blur
Disco Dan - Mega Man 3 - Snakeman Get Down!
Dr. Fruitcake - Super Mario Bros - Mario's TropicalParadise
AmIEvil - Castlevania - Castlemania
Mazedude - Ice Climbers - Snow Cone Heaven
aneurysm - Mega Man 2 - CrashedMen
aneurysm - Super Mario World - TheDarkReachesofSMW
Mazedude - A Boy and His Blob - Cyborg Blobby
Apparently several of the employees are OCR fans and have a few hundred ReMixes that they play in rotation. How cool is that?

i hid a bunch of his sample libraries in somebody's suitcase... and I took all of the food out of his fridge and put it on the countertops... oh yeah and threw his sheet music on the floor... oh and walked in on him and pixie in bed lol
That's what you get for fucking with me and mine. You fucking kicked me off the panel with NO RESPECT and treated my man Dave Harris like garbage...
Paybacks a bitch. I renamed a bunch of files on your computer.. have fun undoing the damage.
So in other words people... try not to piss me off.. and if you DO... don't invite to your house.
Dave Harris

DUDES. I registered just to say: Thanks so much for making me feel welcome, really enjoyed seeing you all. Except Taucer, I was so looking forward to running my fingers through his flaxen hair, but NOPE, BUZZED. I needed to unwind badly, and this hit the spot.
Just conquered the terrifying mountain of work I had to do, and I'm gonna sleep for like 18 hours.

I'm sorry Zircon, lets be friends.. I didn't steal anything or delete any files.
JACOB KAUFMAN RULES AND BUSTATUNEZ IS THE MOST ARROGANT SON OF A BITCH EVER TO SPEND LIKE FUCKING 30 MINUTES ON THE PHONE WITH JULIAN SOULE WTF!!!!
I should mention... big bad bustatunez was too afraid to play us his new stuff!

Willbert, come back to the city today so I can teach you to play basketball like a real live black person
If I knew Zircon's place was so close to where I live, then I would've called for directions and driven over, but I was way too tired last night to even consider it.
Great meeting everyone! Good times were had by all (hopefully)

We forgot to mention my favorite part of the whole night; Leaving me behind at Nintendo World, so I get to freak out for I-don't-know-how-long, while you guys have fun in B&N... How long did it take you guys to notice, anyway? I'm sure someone must be thinking "Hey, wasn't that annoying kid tagging along? What happened to him?"
And just a few more, to show how bad I go in pictures. Thanks alot :wink: . After just looking at those pictures, I realize how bad I need a haircut...

Haha, sorry about that. It didn't take us that long to notice you weren't there, but then Bren said he remembered seeing you in Barnes & Noble, so we spent a lot of time searching there.

Damn I tried the best I could to change the title, but it only changed the title of the post :( .
Edit: I got it to work thanks to Smoke!

I can't remember the name, but I think I've eaten at that Pizza place, it looks so familiar...
Anyhoo, I will be at one of these meetups...someday (but not today, and tomorrow is not looking good).

I had to wait for the transition, but it's my turn now...
I was sore all over Saturday morning.
Things went reasonably well, except at the restaurant; our misfortune. Hung out at zircon's, I enjoyed all the keyboarding and guitaring, we had plenty of laughs at the expense of Twilight Princess.
Good breakfast, I took a train too late and had to head right to work. "Exhausted" is an understatement.
Through laziness and HP's horrible battery issues, my collection of pics is limited. 4 at a time huh? This'll be an adventure:

By the way, the 99 cent slice booth was excellent. This place, though, made a good hangout.

Kats and Pi.

Virgin Megastore. I picked up a new Incognito CD and The Simpsons Season 9.

At Manny's. Someone took a Jill pill; innat adorable?

Nin World, looking through the displays. Never heard of this prototype.
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-nin-ds.jpg
DSes. Messes of DSes.

One of the world's greatest.

Tauce checks out the round table of kids brandishing their styluses. That middle-aged kid on the right was at it like a commuter working a crossword.

Remember that R.O.B. crap?
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-rock-tree.jpg
Rockerfeller, THE tree (in the middle). We should've found time to get closer and take more pics.
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-rock-santa-chip.jpg
Still at *voice of Sean Connery* the Rock. Here, we have Santa Claus and what looks like his younger, more rebellious brother Chip.

Barnes and Noble. It's zircon from Mount Sinai again, but this time Jake started puckering.

While pix set up her cam, the rest of us chilled...
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-bn-03.jpg
...not expecting that doing what everyone else do here would get us asked to vacate.
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-grand-bren.jpg
Back at Grand Central, and seeyas to folks not coming to Pleasantville, including Bren.
http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/ocnyc06-metro.jpg
Finally, waiting for the Metro-North. My cam's right at the floor with a timer on, hoping other travelers don't walk in front of it or kick it.
That's all. MAGFest, y'a-a-a-a-alll!!
EDIT: Just one note: this new forum allows changing the number of posts on each page, and I always prefer the absolute maximum (in here, 40 posts per page). So, at my end, all the other pics are on page 8, and the ones I just gave are page 9.

Pixie makes Yoshi roll the die. (Oh yeah, and she won, btw!)

That's awesome! I collect Yoshies, but I don't have one that big. Lucky you.
Looks like another fun meet up. Wish I could have been there. *cries*

Nice rescue. I'd never saved all the pictures, and assumed the thread would have been deleted by now.
