Next Boston Meet-up?

WaterbornWaterborn Registered User regular
edited May 2010 in PAX Archive
Now that the first PAXEast is behind us I wanted to see if folks were interested in maintaining our monthly schedule of local Boston meet-ups. Things are insane right now, but I could host something at my place in Woburn at some point in April. What does everyone think?

Also, if this now needs to be put in a different forum, my apologies.

    No worries, waterborn, meetups are welcome in this forum year-round. It's how we keep the community engaged during those long months between PAXs.

    All I can say to this is "Yes Please"

    Again I would need a ride, though if Jack is free, I'm more then sure he won't be opposed to coming with and giving me a ride.

    I too would need a ride, coming from the Brookline area, but would definitely be interested.

    I'm down for sure. I know there's been some talk on the Facebook group about maybe May sometime.

    This time, I'll remember my DS.

    A few, myself included, are leaning for a week or more in. Thinking this pushes first date to try around about the 10th or so?

    heh...I'll be passing on that next time. I will, however, be up for some other tabletop gaming.

    I'm 100% interested. Wasn't able to make you're last gathering due to scheduling issues. Waiting for possible dates. By the way, what is the facebook page name?

    Oooh yes. You speak my language. For some strange reason, Illuminati doesn't peak my interest, maybe due to the last incident. :P

    I've got Munchkin, Dominion: Intrigue, Chez Geek..think I've got some others somewhere. Regardless I'll surely grab Dominion, I'm hooked on that as of late.

    Oh yeah, and glowing screens of pixilated goodness are just as mesmerizing/enjoyable.

    I own MANY (250+ ish) games, so I'll make sure to pick a few select boxes of awesome to bring. Probably Stone Age, Rum and Pirates, and maybe Dungeon Lords (if people don't mind learning something a little more complex).

    Gah - was only checking FaceBook for a few days, and missed this thread. Per the FB thread, we're looking at the weekend of the 15th, leaning towards Saturday. You want to host Waterborn, or do you want me to host here? I'm down with it either way . . .

    Hey Khadour, I still owe you a visit, so if you want to host, go for it. I think my girlfriend needs a break from video games (and video game talk) for a bit. :mrgreen:

    Also, if anyone wants to see Kick Ass for Free next Wed, go to Gofobo.com and use the RSVP code GAMEZSP3. Not sure how many tickets are left but I got mine last night. I will also post this over at FB.

    Actually, we were talking May, if you can wait that long ;) Specifically, it's looking like May 15th. I still need to run it past SWMBO, but I'll update once I talk to her . . .

    Cuddlez/Postal: If you're in metro Boston (e.g. Boston/Brookline/Cambridge) I can give you a ride.

    May 15th sounds jake at the moment. Definitely want to do this, as I'll be in South Africa for most of June.

    Btw, I thought we were considering Clash of the Titans? Although I have heard some bad things about the 3d version.. and that standard might be better >>

    Posting via group to see what dates are best in April if you are still willing to host Dane? Or whomever.

    I am tempted to try out a different program to see whether or not it would be easier to figure out future dates. Not going to give it a shot right now due to the fact I'm pretty booked in stuff to do, but if everyone who is interested can toss me their emails via PM or facebook, it would help.

    Probably won't be able to make much in April unless it's a small gathering due to my treatments this month. Stupid immune system.

    May should be ok, though.

    Also: I searched and searched and could find no link to the Facebook group. Someone post a link please?

    I'd love to go, but have to avoid big crowds for another week or two, sadly. Have fun! Sounds like it should be a damned good time.

    Oh shoot, I'm likely hitting a concert next door (TT's) that same night.

    While I figure out what to do, want to grab a bite beforehand at the Middle East?

    Sorry I haven't posted here in a bit - haven't hit the forums in a week or two. We are confirmed for Saturday, May 15th, starting 7PMish at my place. PM me for address, etc. if you've never been here. 3 screens of console gaming, 3 tables of tabletop gaming, and a slushie machine to boot.

    Per the usual disclamers, we have dogs, cats, and a 12 year old. If you are allergic to any of the above, please arm yourself with non-lethal countermeasures as appropriates. We've got Benadryl on hand, but that's about the best I can do for you.

    Also, for those interested, you can find the FaceBook group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=396063749851

    As to this Saturday, I've got strike over at the CSW production of Carousel that night, so no other concerts for me :(

    Looking like it's going to be a good sized crowd on Saturday - have 16 confirmed through the FB event (not counting their guests), and at least 4 that aren't on there. Should be a good time and a good crowd!
