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 ?

I found a place (again, never been there personally) that hosts net games, etc. that is right at St. Marks:

Also, MoMA has a new exhibit on Video Games as Art.

I should really just do all my research and then post.

Meet ups have never been about showing off the rarest/hottest boards. It's all about hanging out with some cool GH bros/sisses. Doesn't matter if you're new or you have 1 board or even no boards. At the Chicago meet, dante didn't bring a board.

Can't come if we meet at a bar... Underage

reaper · « **Reply #58 on:** Mon, 29 April 2013, 00:25:31 »

You could wait outside and tell boost to get you some root beer or something.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #59 on:** Mon, 29 April 2013, 07:35:39 »

I would say a bar is a bad place to hold one of these. Good for after-party, though

lets all be hippies and meet up at Zuccotti Park

Is the meetup location and date finalized? I really want to try out other types of switches

How about my school? LOL

Krogenar · « **Reply #67 on:** Sun, 05 May 2013, 06:25:41 »

I will try to make it. Weekends are the best time for me.

Spokoman · « **Reply #68 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 15:50:04 »

I'm down for a meetup with beer / sake

So right now I have CM QF TK MX Reds, Ducky Shine 2 MX: Blue TKL, Brown TKL and Clear Full
Not sure if I should bring any of those. And my vote is weekend too.

Right, I don't think that would be a problem. It's not like the 21+ would be looking to get wasted... right?

So I'm a bit country... "My dad's restaurant" didn't translate to the happinest place in the area seeing as how I live in podunk 3 traffic lights nowheresville.

On the other hand y'all got a good laugh

thegunner100 · « **Reply #85 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 22:21:43 »

Lol well I did mention it was a dim sum restaurant xD. Then again there aren't many of those outside of big cities.

Is it in flushing by any chance?

thegunner100 · « **Reply #87 on:** Sat, 11 May 2013, 06:43:00 »

No, last year's NYC meet was held in sunset park (Brooklyn). But my dad did used to work at a dim sum restaurant in Flushing too.

Spokoman · « **Reply #88 on:** Sat, 11 May 2013, 08:24:27 »

OK, just for clarification, NYC=Manhattan /\ Brooklyn=Brooklyn=/=NYC

I'm sure boost will let everyone know when he has everything figured out. Asking once a week won't speed it up

Did any of those places express any interest in hosting us? I figured we would at least have a computer to plug some keyboards into.
