alaricljs · « **Reply #107 on:** Thu, 13 June 2013, 10:39:16 »

Somewhere there isn't flooding.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #108 on:** Thu, 27 June 2013, 16:28:53 »

I hope we end up finding a location!

Well its been a little over 2 months since this thread was started. That being said... my t70 and paradox still haven't been sold off yet, so i'll bring them along as long as we get this going.

Lets go to Dubsgalore's house. New Jersey meet, yeah!

linziyi · « **Reply #118 on:** Thu, 27 June 2013, 21:10:48 »

Coffee shop would also be a great place I suppose, if we can manage to agree with the owner that is.

Honestly i really want this to happen before late august...don't want this to happen when i'm back at school..

Puddsy · « **Reply #122 on:** Sun, 21 July 2013, 23:08:51 »

If it happens before September I'll go. Maybe ask some of the internet cafes in the city. I know they like hosting things.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #123 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 11:28:27 »

does anyone have any other ideas? we wanna get this rolling really soon

Topre · « **Reply #124 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 11:40:18 »

I didn't read through all this, but what's wrong with doing this at Central Park? You don't need outlets for keyboards. Just bring a laptop if you want to power up a keyboard. Attach a few keyboards to each laptop (USB HUBs can be used if necessary, assuming there are way more keyboards than laptops. If you are scared of running out of power for the laptops, you can charge them at nearby locations. You can also use laptops in three groups. After one group of laptop runs out of battery, then switch it out for another group.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #125 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 11:40:26 »

what do you guys thnk about a conference room?

https://liquidspace.com/Venues/work-house-nyc-downtown-feel-midtown#0b3b4288-1188-4bf1-b6f0-f6dbed4ec43d

people would probably need to chip in a little bit, but i don't think this meetup is going to be massive, so a conference room should do

I think the only problem with this would be that it would take place in a very crowded and public place. also it would be outside. I'm not sure if i think that is the best thing to do
good input though

linziyi · « **Reply #128 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 11:48:47 »

We can borrow some seats from other rooms if they are not occupied... As for the rent, $15 for each if we have 10 participants is not bad at all.

alaricljs · « **Reply #129 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 11:55:16 »

That space is not available on weekends. This space is large, cheap and available on weekends, but it's north of Yonkers.

Topre · « **Reply #130 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 12:20:15 »

How many people do you guys think are going? I might be able to host under 50 people in Brooklyn.

linziyi · « **Reply #131 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 12:26:13 »

I think that's more than enough

Actually, I don't think I would want to host. It's starting to get very busy until the beginning of next year. And I wouldn't exactly want to leave my doors unlocked.

That looks pretty good, actually. Dobbs Ferry is a pretty nice town, and it can be reached by train, too.

1 hour 30 minute drive for me
that one looks like the best one so far

Krogenar · « **Reply #136 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:07:55 »

Gah, so upsetting -- there used to be a LAN party cafe called 'Neutral Ground' not far from my place in NYC. It would have been perfect. The way I see it, the ideal location has room for a net party of some kind, maybe some snacks, a pool table, etc.

(Krog puts nose to grind stone.)

oTurtlez · « **Reply #137 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:10:43 »

I'll be up in Rochester without a car. Anywhere I can take public transport to, I'll be down on a weekend.

linziyi · « **Reply #138 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:13:37 »

:S I will have to take the train to yonker then

oTurtlez · « **Reply #139 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:16:07 »

:/ Guess I'm not going D: Albany is a 3 1/2 hour train ride, that sounds like it'd be a tad bit more.

alaricljs · « **Reply #140 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:17:44 »

Ya, Rochester is pretty close to nowhere... except Canada

and not even really that.

It's like, an hour from Buffalo, and an hour and a half from Canada lol. WHY MUST I ALWAYS BE CONFINED TO NOWHERE LAND

phx · « **Reply #142 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:31:49 »

ooo

interested!
i'll bring all my keyboards

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #143 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:33:30 »

a LAN Party cafe sounds like a fantastic setting, but the conference room/area could work for our potential size

thegunner100 · « **Reply #144 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 20:13:29 »

Sounds like we might have something going here. Not looking forward to lugging a big tube amp around xD

alaricljs · « **Reply #145 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 20:38:15 »

Get a small one?

thegunner100 · « **Reply #146 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 20:46:53 »

I have two portable amps, but I will bring my tube amp if people are interested in listening to it.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #147 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 20:50:26 »

i will be bringing my poker, pure, keycap sets, and my hammer case if it's here on time

and of course my julysicles

linziyi · « **Reply #148 on:** Thu, 08 August 2013, 20:54:21 »

So do we have a location yet?
