I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for dates and places. Me and the GF have been talking about visiting NYC again soon.

Acetrak · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 15:47:04 »

In.

Saturday is probably the best for me, aside from the weekend of 5/4, I'm pretty much good given enough notice.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #3 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 16:16:38 »

I'm originally from upstate NY and I'll be back at the end of May. If you guys end up having a date then, I could swing by. But I wouldn't have most of my boards. I'll only have my Pure if I attend.

Parak · « **Reply #4 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 16:32:32 »

I can probably come most weekdays after work if it's around midtown/times square, especially on Fridays. Weekends are iffier, and I'd prefer something closer in Brooklyn. I don't drive and would need to lug some keyboards of interest that weigh a metric ton :p

tsangan · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 16:35:31 »

If I come i won't need to bring any boards, boost has them all

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 18:53:42 »

i would be in for this depending on the time. basically after May 31st, i am good for any date. any time before that would be up in the air. Very interested though

boost · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 19:58:34 »

Cool, weekend it is. Just need a spot and date

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 09 April 2013, 20:16:16 »

Boost's house!

Permeability · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 10 April 2013, 10:31:12 »

If it's on the weekend i'd definitely be interested!

Oh and I didn't forget about that April Fool's joke boost, watch yourself

Spokoman · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 12:47:02 »

I'm new to the community, but definitely interested for a weekend meetup. If it's in May I may actually have a keyboard or two

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 12:50:22 »

If it is in May, i would bring my 3 (possibly 4 by then) boards

Well, you can go to a public restaurant that serves alcohol when you're only 17, you just can't drink. I dunno if you can go into to a bar though.

I'm definitely in for the meet-up. So please add me to the Attending List. Weekends are great for me, either Saturday or Sunday. (Please don't pick a holiday weekend, because that will cause conflicts with a lot of people.)

I can't wait to see them custom keyboards! (I would bring a keyboard, but I don't have anything unusual to show off, except maybe my Desko keyboard, if anybody would be interested in seeing it.)

ekw808 · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 14:21:32 »

Depends where in the city and I'm also not bringing anything as boost has everything.

boost · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 14:44:05 »

Only got 4 keyboards -_-

Acetrak · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 14:45:03 »

I'm in NY. I currently have

Topre 87 u variable
Cherry ML
Cherry black
And a apple knockoff scissor

I cannot do the weekend of May 11-12 : wedding.

Is it possible to do this earlier rather than later ? we can always do a round 2

metalliqaz · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 12:13:23 »

NYC I'm in. I'd do Boston too. Takes a long train ride to get to NYC, so I'll bring somewhere between 0 to 1 boards.

blighty · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 12:23:12 »

Avenue A and St. Marks, East Village/Alphabet City.
Food isn't terrible, not too far from subway. Cheap Sushi, has beer/sake.
The wee laddies/lassies who are underage can still hang while the older set can day drink? (Still voting for Sunday)

i used to go to st marks for football and happy hour on fridays
now i feel old walking in there haha

blighty · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 13:33:53 »

Ave A and St. Marks is not at all like the area near Astor Place. Not so much of a clusterfuxk of people.

vipjun · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 13:39:25 »

i'm ok with St marks area.. but will there be enough room for us to try out the keyboard there?
maybe lunch first and then another place where we can plug in a laptop to test them out maybe ?

The best place i know of that's open to the public is
Citigroup Center
153 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022 (map)

Tables are large although they won't allow you to plugin your laptops. And also the location isn't the most convienant for many people including myself.

Any place like that around union square / st marks ?

IPT · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 20:08:40 »

screw it lets just take over a starbucks
kickout all the macbook people =D

thegunner100 · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 20:57:39 »

Last year's meet was fun, I'm in for it it again. Don't have anything keyboard wise to really offer anymore, but I can bring my Hi-fi gear

.

May I suggest these two places? I'll only be 20 next month, so no bars please xD

Bosie Tea Parlor - A nice casual place with some great tea. I've been there a few times. The food is okay, but a bit pricey. There should be enough seating as long as we make a reservation.

Capital One 360 Cafe - An even more casual place. They don't really have food there aside from cookies, biscottis and that sort. They have really cheap coffee and tea though, and they taste pretty good. Though they have two floors, the seating is kinda spaced out.

On a side note, is anyone else going to the NY head-fi meet next weekend?

boost · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 21:27:01 »

Prefer to have a spot that's not trying to kick us out after 50minutes. Like a open space type of thing and food/drinks afterwards we get geeked out. Lol

Riverside park is a pretty nice place to hang out, and there are plenty of restaurants around that we can go to afterwards. Otherwise there's my school campus in Long Island, but I doubt anyone would want to drive all the way over there, and the food there is complete **** 90% of the time >.>.

Location suggestion:

http://nerdnyc.com/wordpress/faq

I have NO IDEA about these people, I just found them in a web search. Seems like they have some space, maybe they could host the event -- they might even be interested in seeing the keyboards as well.

Don't know if I'll be able to attend this one -- gotta see how my schedule works out, but I will try!
