    im down

    Any chance you guys are doing the Dirty Nerdy Revue on Friday night? I'm flying solo this year and was hoping to find some folks to hang out with.

    Video Game Hangover is a podcast for gamers who overindulge.
    Put it in your ear holes.

    That is awesome. Kind of looks a bit like the Treasure Maps. I may have to attend...

    For any locals, doesn't this seem a lot like Good Times? Beer, games, and 13-year olds kicking your ass because you've had too much... I miss that place. Only time that I've ever had to tell the 8-year-old kid next to me to hold the Mario Kart Race until I was done with my beer.

    I hope this hasn't already been covered but are there any free, swelltacular parties throwing down Friday night? I only have a Friday pass & am looking to spice up my evening

  • AlpineAnticAlpineAntic Registered User regular
    I have been scouring the internet for Friday parties. Seems like the majority of them will be at the Westin Hotel Friday night. I recommend talking to devs and exhibiters to see if they will have any shin digs.
    Undeadlabs will have one starting at 6 at the Westin as well a few other devs.

    Ok, thanks for the info!! :) What were some of the other parties at the Westin on Friday? Or are those posted in this thread already?

    Friday night concerts are pretty damn amazing if you're into those bands.

    Imagine thousands of fans that are super passionate about something nerdy as hell.

    Imagine Valhalla.

    Is there crowd surfing & dancing/ "friendly" moshing at these shows?

  • MMMigMMMig Registered User regular
    I can't speak for crowd surfing, but there's generally some wee moshing during the rock shows.

    I'm not a personal fan of the moshing so I can't say how friendly it is but during Protomen you can expect big sweaty men be rubbing all over you if you really want.

    In the past, moshing has been forbidden. Not sure of the current policy.

  • GrimRupertGrimRupert Registered User regular
    If people are "moshing", it's usually just bouncing into each other. Not the typical sort of heavy metal concert where people walk away with bruises and broken bones that they'll later talk about with friends. "Back on their '97 tour I got this scar on my eyebrow! Then I punched a kid in the face!"

    But thinking back, I don't think they've ever really had that. While Protomen can be pretty bad ass, they're not really mosh-worthy.

    I'm a website!

  • MMMigMMMig Registered User regular
    The few times I've seen it it sort of starts as you feel the crowd push you to a side, but then eventually subsides.

    Prob. as the bad-ass Enforces do their thing... Enforce.

    I don't think they are transferable, they have names on the tickets.

  • wrccitroenwrccitroen New EnglandRegistered User regular
    yeah when I said "moshing" I meant friendly moshing like people bouncing into each other like something you'd see at a MMBS or Flogging Molly show...no wall of death or any punk craziness where people get hurt...& what's a concert without tons of yucky sweaty people?! It's like bathing in the HS Basketball team's laundry basket haha

    Worst can be gamer moshes, cuz odds are some haven't showered!

    Old is more a state of mind.

    Personally, I've long been amused that I'm technically an adult. Growing older is mandatory (and surely beats the alternative!) Growing up is optional. :D

    Very true! "You don't stop playing 'cause you get old...you get old because you stop playing" Even though I have observed that having children ages people in leaps & bounds, particularly for the moms...but when I said "old" I meant middle aged or older (Not that people in their 40's & 50's are old...70 is old...but 40 seems a little old to be moshing & crowd surfing, or perhaps I'm just being narrow minded haha )
