[NYC/NJ] hangout thread: so, what are you doing this weekend?

tapeslinger

So there are kind of a lot of us who like to hang out as a social group here in the Greater New York/6th Boro areas because hey, other people who also post on the Penny Arcade forums are cool. This thread is a more specific way to relay messages than to relay things via chat and hope everyone gets them, so post ideas or info about plans and what have you, and we'll add em here.

We have a small contingent of forumers, primarily from the D&D section, who get together on a fairly regular basis and new folks or visitors from strange and foreign lands (like Philadelphia or New Orleans or Seattle or SE++, or wherever) are always welcome to join us. We love to eat new-- er meet new people! Yes, yes. Meet.

Going to be in the NY/NJ area and want to hang out with people you may have met on the forums? Yes? Jolly good then.



additional pertinent information will be added to the header when specific events are planned, which will include who to PM for their address info or phone number in the event that you don't already have it, when the time comes.


So the unofficial list of people who live in the area and hang out is being developed here in this thread, if you want to be on said list post here or drop me a pm; this way people don't feel like they are left out of fun stuff when it happens.

how do we get you ungrounded, deebaser?!

EggyToast

You're usually just grounded for a length of time, right? Like two weeks or something, or no video games for a month.

I'm in JC so put me on the list. Have barely met any PAers due to being in Baltimore for the last 9 years!

Deebaser

I dunno. I get too drunk when I hang out with yall and make an ass out of myself. I suppose if I either civilize myself or you fuckers are less of a bad influence on me, I will be ungrounded.

tapeslinger

hey now! we had no idea you were a closet recovering karaokeholic. how were we supposed to know you were going to fall off the wagon if we didnt know you were ON the wagon in the first place?

tapeslinger

ugh quad post is getting silly

tapeslinger

very silly indeed!

tapeslinger

but yeah so we can always go do something dignified instead. like rollerderby or bowling or whatever classy people do.

Wait, this is serious?

I mean, the message you left on my phone the day I wasn't able to hang was really uncouth, but grounded?

YamiNoSenshi

IR and I are nearby, but we are the grumpy old people of the meetups. Always cutting out early and not showing up for weekday stuff. But we still like to be invited in case we can make it.

EggyToast

I'm old! Is 31 old?

/checksphone

Oh... Im sorry I sent you the text "you cocksucker". That was really uncalled for.

haha, you thought I was referring to the texts, you straight up called me. Twice. and left FANTASTIC voice messages.

That must have been a hell of a party I missed.

nexuscrawler

I passed out under the coffee table

Deebaser

Oh...God...
:oops:

so many apologies

Dude, it's cool. I totally get it.

I just found it funny - like I was able to get a lens in on a party I wished I could have attended and missed.

Deebaser

we drank all the lychee martinis.

Deebaser

Also, I bet those voice mails were less lucid than Hasselhoff's cheeseburger video.

Drez

This is the generic Deebaser timeline:

6:00: "Dudes, let's just chill and have some drinks. But listen if you guys are doing any of that pansy shit later like karaoke, I think I'm just gonna go home."
6:45: "You should try all these drinks man they are amazing here. I've had one of each so far."
7:30: "Did I really have that many drinks? Guess I need another one."
8:15: "Fallout: New Vegash isthe besht game EVARRRR!!!!"
9:00: "FUCK I RAN OUT OF CIGARETTES AGAIN."
9:30: "Karaoke! KARAOKE! Let's go to karaoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
10:00: "Since U Been Gone :whistle:"

Okay, I made the last one up. Never heard him sing Kelly Clarkson. I don't think.

No, I am the one busting out truly out of character songs and fucking with them.

Organichu

Dee's typical night goes: do something fiancee wouldn't approve of, hide from fiancee.

Which doesn't sound funny, but he tries to hide behind like, chain-link fences and empty beer bottles.

Deebaser

These are the reasons I am grounded.

tapeslinger

@EggyToast : you are a year older than nexus so I would say you will be fine. we are in the Hamilton Park area so we are a little ways out but not far. what brings you to the 6th borough? (you're over by the college, right? I may be answering my own super nosy question here)

You know I'm just teasing ya

EggyToast

Hamilton Park, fancy! I moved here via a combination of job, relationship, and then relationship ending. But I'm about a 10min walk from the Journal Square PATH stop which goes over to Newport, although for anything later I could just drive since traffic isn't bad after rush hour getting close to the tunnel.

tapeslinger

parking over by us is a grab bag of fun and hilarity, I am sooo glad I do not drive. Newport and Grove are more or less equidistant so convenience varies mostly with the weather. (Newport is better in snowytimes, Grove is a nicer walk without a shitty mall crammed into it.)

And needless to say we are in the mostly-unfancy part of that neighborhood, ha! you should come out to 9th and Coles or White Star with us some night or something.

tapeslinger

that reminds me-- Chaos Friday, anyone? We uh, have not actually gotten around to playing Chaos in like three weeks now

TomeWyrm

Can't do Friday, myself, but I can make it next time!

tapeslinger

no worries-- we are around if anyone wants to be nerdy and chaos with us, other wise we might pick a night sometime next week.

EggyToast

Good timing on my part to make a big deal about hanging out; my parents are in town this and the next weekend, and then I'm heading down to bmore. Do things happen weekday evenings?

tapeslinger

sometimes; it is certainly not out of the question. Those tend to be smaller get-togethers because there are not as many folks who can make it, but it's not uncommon.

Spawnbroker

Alyce and I live about an hour drive from you guys, so put us down for hangouts!

If any of you fuckers ever want to actually drive up here instead, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TOO

tapeslinger

so, list is updated though I know there are a lot of folks not actually on the list yet (shaz is awol til later this month, yeah? I don't want to add people without them knowing they're on here)

TomeWyrm

I think Shaz is out of town for a little while, yeah.

Also, Chaos this coming Friday?

Hakkekage

Wait I wanna be on the list

nexuscrawler

you're on the list

Hakkekage

No I don't want to be on that list!

tapeslinger

I am not sure what list nexus is talking about, but I added you to my list up there.
