Anyone interested in doing something in the city in July?
-
I'm actually hoping to go to NY soonish to get my tongue split. So I might actually be able to hang out!
-
Well I can go into the city pretty much anytime but I'm moving in August so July is the latest. I would definitely be interested in seeing someone get their tongue split, though.
-
I will need people to hold my hands ;_;
-
Just let me know when you're coming up! I'll be there :) (Assuming you give me enough notice and I'm free that day)
-
You know, you two remind me of the greatest non-sequitur in the history of the comic :-P
-
I don't think Neko would be that comfortable with me when meeting me for the first time. ::)
-
Yep I have no clue what's going on here.
-
The one wherein Tai drags Marten along to a piercing shop. (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1245)
And she even used the same excuse (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1247)! :-D
-
I will not have to get even partially naked for my body modification, though. So it's only partially as weird.
-
Hooray!
-
I might come over for that one. I'm in Nyack this weekend.
-
I don't think it's gonna be that soon. Will you be in the area again within the next few months?
-
It's a 10-hour drive, but it's one I make a few times a year to see my daughter and her family. They have an apartment in the lower east side they've invited me to stay at.
-
It would be awesome to see you, if you can make it!
-
I can come in Saturday, but I have to be back in Jersey by the late afternoon. Although Sunday would probably be better.
-
I presume the meetup would precede the surgery.

You're referring to all or most weekends? Where in NJ?
-
I'm referring specifically to this weekend, only because I have dinner plans on Saturday. Pretty much any other weekend is fine as long as I have enough warning. And about 30-45 minutes from NYC.
-
Method, my route home Sunday morning is 287 near the Tappan Zee Bridge to I80. But 9W toward Rte4 or the Garden State are possibilities. If you're not far south of 4, we might meet for coffee.
-
It takes 20 hours to get up there. D;
-
OF COURSE YOU DO THIS NOW
:x
-
As opposed to...when? :psyduck: (I'm just throwing the idea out there, I can do it anytime in the next 3 months)
-
Unicorn used to live in NY. Not NYC but able to travel there, I assume.
-
July would be awesome for me because YAY WEDDING STUFF WILL BE OVER. I can head down there pretty much any time as long as I have a few weeks notice because I'm broke and need to budget for the $40 train ride lol
Method, where ya moving to?
-
New Hampshire
-
Ahhh, yes. I finally caught up on my forum browsing and saw in the University thread that you are moving for school- with a full scholarship! That is awesome! We'll definitely have to do some celebratory drinking at the meetup. :-D
-
Thanks! And indeed we shall!
-
It takes 20 hours to get up there. D;
Would you consider a ride?
-
You'd have to swing several hours out of your way to do that, Red.
-
About 5-6, I figured. Any closer meeting points?
-
I've been trying to visit my family in LI this summer - no date set, but it requires a train stop at Penn station, so I could easily time it for a meetup.
New Hampshire
Boston meetup! (I live in MA).
-
Haha deal! Maybe not for a month or two once I'm up there but Boston is only 90 minutes or so from Concord.
-
Just met up with Redball. Had an interesting conversation about hiking, which inspired me to climb Mount Washington when I get to NH in August.
-
Wow! A meeting of mods - whatever next!
-
A moderated meet-up?
I'll bring you a gavel.
-
Meetups are good in moderation.
-
Moderatable Content!
I appreciate it Red, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable committing the both of us to something like that, even though you seem pretty neat! Let me roll it around a bit in my head...once I get through this last week of TEST TEST TEST TEST TEEEEST AAAAAH

From my home it's about 10 hours to NYC. If it all happens, any way to meet up in northern Indiana?
-
TEST TEST TEST TEST TEEEEST AAAAAH
TEST TEST TESTTESTTEST TEST TEST TESTTESTTEST TEST TEST TESTTESTTESTTEST EVERYBODY!
-
Maaaaaaybe. I could conceivably hire a friend to drop me off in Indy, I'm sure there's a bus or something I could catch that would go further north.
-
Indy's a little better. Ft. Wayne more so. I hadn't thought about it in years; do universities have a bulletin board, on line or otherwise, for those wishing or offering rides?
The thing is, meetups are fun, and so are passengers on long day trips. Otherwise I'm listening to hours of CNN, HLN, MSNBC on satellite radio!
...as well as NPR.
-
I have no idea. Probably?
-
Oh, hey, NYC meet up. As long as it's not July 4th weekend, I can meet up. (why? I wanna go to AX, of course)
-
I'll actually be in NYC on the fourth, but just for a race in the morning. Probably going back into Jersey for a barbecue that afternoon.
-
Okay, so if someone can set a date I and Red can see about how to make this work.
I can pretty much do whatever, to my knowledge, I just need enough advance warning to get the time off.
-
How about a tentative date of Saturday, July 13?
-
Neko, the ball's in your court since you have another purpose to come north.
-
I can't make any definite plans for my tongue splitting until I have the money to do so - but I can at least try to make it up there that weekend, tongue splitting or no.
-
I'm pretty sure that could work for me :-)
-
Bumping this for the parties involved. July 13th still sound good?
-
I probably can't go :( No moneys.
-
Aww...but I wanted to see a tongue splitting! Also it sucks to not get to meet ya :(
-
Yeah I am pretty grumpy about it.
-
There's always next time :)
-
Sure, why not?
-
Is this still happening? Because I'll be on LI to visit family over the 13th, and could very likely make it (or another day - I'll be there about two weeks).
-
I'm still down for it.
-
Just caught this was a thing.
-
I may be available for this! Funds are seriously tight but there is art happening at MoMa (http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1380) that I must see and my need for art surpasses my ability to be fiscally responsible, so I will try to schedule that museum trip for the same day as the meetup :-)
-
I'm still up for it. MoM, this is your pony show, so set the date already!
-
As far as I know, it's still this Saturday! Where should we all meet, and how will we know who we are?
-
Elizabethan clothes?
-
Ok, seriously guys, say in no uncertain terms if you are coming, and then suggest a meeting place for Saturday, July 13, at noon local time.
-
:-( I can't this Saturday. Waaaaaaah. :cry:
-
I'd not only thought I could come, but offered de_la_Nae a ride. I'm hemmed in this weekend, and a weekend NYC trip may always be difficult.
-
Damn, can anyone make it? I can come into the city multiple times, and I'll be in the city Saturday anyway if even one person wants to do this, but please suggest dates over the next two weeks (any day of the week is fine, for the most part).
-
I'm most easily available in weekday evenings after work, since I'm already in the damnable place. This Saturday would be difficult.
As for meeting places, wouldn't Penn Station be the easiest place to meet? It's the local and regional transportation nexus, there's dozens of easily found landmarks, and shouting "METHOD OF MADNESS, ARE YOU HERE?" in the middle of a crowd won't even draw a second look.
-
So nobody's coming?
-
Man, July kind of just fell on us, damn it. Anyone want to move this to August? I'll be home for a week or so in mid-August.
-
Alright, let's go for mid-August, but with a martinet's appreciation for timetables. Exactly what week are you home, what days are you available, and when?
-
The week of the 11th, preferably earlier in the week.
-
August 14, around 6:30, to meet up for drinks?
-
Yeah, sure, I think that'll be fine. Anyone else down?
-
TWO WEEK REMINDER - POTENTIAL NYC QC MEET UP THE WEEK OF AUGUST 11. PLEASE CLEAR YOUR CALENDARS TO HANG OUT
:-)
-
Sometime next week, folks. We really should set a time and location.
-
Guys, come on!
-
:-( I suck, I know! I just can't really do the city during the week....it's a 2 hour train ride and one of the trips is peak, meaning that it would cost me $40 just to get there. I can justify it a little more on weekends, because I can do off-peak round trip for around $30 and then spend the whole day squeezing in as much as I can.
-
:(
-
Looks like this is being pushed back indefinitely.
-
If it gets pushed back or there's a new meet in late March/early April next year, I might be able to make one. :-)
-
Depending on when my spring break is and whether I come to the area that might work!
