Title: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 02 May 2013, 05:41
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!
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 02 May 2013, 06:47
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)

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.

I will not have to get even partially naked for my body modification, though. So it's only partially as weird.

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?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 02 May 2013, 12:53
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: nekowafer on 02 May 2013, 12:56
It would be awesome to see you, if you can make it!
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 02 May 2013, 12:58
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?

 
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 02 May 2013, 13:14
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 02 May 2013, 18:01
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;

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?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 03 May 2013, 07:28
New Hampshire

Post by: lepetitfromage on 03 May 2013, 08:10
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!

Would you consider a ride?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: de_la_Nae on 04 May 2013, 08:10
You'd have to swing several hours out of your way to do that, Red.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 04 May 2013, 09:35
About 5-6, I figured. Any closer meeting points?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: henri bemis on 04 May 2013, 13:54
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).
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 04 May 2013, 18:07
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.

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?

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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 06 May 2013, 11:37
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)
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 07 May 2013, 10:49
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: de_la_Nae on 07 May 2013, 21:07
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 07 May 2013, 22:00
How about a tentative date of Saturday, July 13?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 08 May 2013, 06:29
Neko, the ball's in your court since you have another purpose to come north.

Post by: nekowafer on 08 May 2013, 06:51
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: lepetitfromage on 09 May 2013, 06:33
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 :(

Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: henri bemis on 27 Jun 2013, 16:34
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).
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 27 Jun 2013, 17:44

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 :-)
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Black Sword on 09 Jul 2013, 07:11
I'm still up for it. MoM, this is your pony show, so set the date already!
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 09 Jul 2013, 19:58
As far as I know, it's still this Saturday! Where should we all meet, and how will we know who we are?

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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: lepetitfromage on 10 Jul 2013, 06:18
:-( I can't this Saturday. Waaaaaaah.  :cry:
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Redball on 10 Jul 2013, 06:25
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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 10 Jul 2013, 08:09
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).
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Black Sword on 11 Jul 2013, 08:58
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.

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.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Black Sword on 11 Jul 2013, 11:44
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?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 11 Jul 2013, 11:47
The week of the 11th, preferably earlier in the week.
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Black Sword on 12 Jul 2013, 12:32
August 14, around 6:30, to meet up for drinks?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: Method of Madness on 12 Jul 2013, 12:41
Yeah, sure, I think that'll be fine. Anyone else down?
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK

Guys, come on!
Title: Re: QC MEETUP IN NEW YORK
Post by: lepetitfromage on 12 Aug 2013, 08:57
:-( 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.
