The smaller ones are easy sometimes, especially the Sydney ones because hell, Hannah and I meet up all the time and I run into Ben occasionally and Lunchy and Nick basically live around the corner from me. I would still like the occasional big ones to go ahead because honestly, when I was in Boston meeting everyone and when Dovey and Brett Slurms stayed at my place it was easily some of the best times I've ever had and I would like to hopefully go to whatever 2011 meetup is happening because the girl and I will be in America probably around August/September. I know that's probably outside of the usual meetup time but if anyone wants to meet up then it would be cool.

Basically don't stop thinking about tomorrow doing the big meet ups. They are awesome.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying.

Some other folks will be going to Chicago again in June so it's going to be polarising in terms of attendance. Basically, it's better to let people do what they want rather than attempting to cram everyone into one location. Maybe next year we can try to have a bigger con again, personally I thought Tronno and Chicago were awesome.

Jeez you blow a few dudes and then all of a sudden you've got a reputation.

For what it's worth I will also be visiting Boston and Tronno (and other eastern cities as well, I just know those two to have concentrations of forum-types) in between NYC and ATP in September, so there is plenty of chances for folks to get blown hang out.

Alternately, come to ATP because it is going to fucking ROOOOOOOL

To be fair I love aquariums, and Atlanta has a really good one. Also weed is universally easier to get the further you get from the coasts. Maybe not the exotics but 50 dollars never bought me so much. Except in Mexico. Hey guys, why haven't we gone to visit Emilio huh?

Some other folks will be going to Chicago again in June

This includes me, BUT it's at least in part because my bassist and I both post on Electrical and we're gonna take the opportunity to roadtrip & Band-Bond. It's something I haven't really done since the first These Estates lineup and since I seem to get on really well with the other two dudes currently in the band I think roadtrippin to Chicago is a good idea.

So that's why I'm not going to NYC. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THAT AND PIZZA AT DI FARA????

Johnny you should swing through Fargo and pick me up. Really really.

Also I am hoping to go to NYC, it depends on how much of a tax return I get this year. Plane tickets are $200, housing should hopefully be around $100 again, so if I get $350+ I will hopefully be there.

Having said I would probably be coming, I'm now starting to think I probably won't unless I find a job that pays ludicruous amounts of money and is in the vicinity. Considering how hard it is to find jobs in my own country, I think it'll be even harder over there where the economy is still sucky. Sorry guys. I know you will all be heartbroken.

Alright, we really should look at accomodations. Kat and I will be taking a look over the next few days. We were considering the possibility of doing like we did in Chicago and renting an apartment for the weekend, but with our turnout this year being cut in half at the least, the $1600 for that (If we can find it again) is not gonna be manageable I think.

If any natives have any suggestions for cheapish hotels for NYC we'd be grateful since we need to get these reserved sometime soon. Thus far, this is a decent list we've found.

Hotel listing. No. 3, the Cosmopolitan, is what I was looking at sepcifically, but several of them seem to have some decent prices for NYC.

Whatever you do, do NOT stay at the Chelsea Spot Hostel

I mean, unless you want to experience

- long, black hairs and stains on your sheets
- plastic mattresses and inflatable pillows in rickety bunk beds especially designed for discomfort
- staff that talks loudly throughout the entire night right outside your dorm and then hits on you when you complain the next day
- seeing rats
- having everything you at some point used also be broken at some point. This includes: Toilets, showers, hot water/heating in general (I guess the air con breaks during summer or something), floor (!), coffee maker, computers, wifi
- scary neurotic roommates that keeps you up all night polishing their shoes in bed

Oh, and we later found out it's run semi-illegally somehow. It was cheap though.
