TheLoneliestMonk Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It seems like there are a ton of boarders living in New Jersey, and NYC, and doing their best to keep living in Philadelphia. Are there ever and BWB meetups up here? If not, we can't let the DC boarders keep showing us up, and if so, someone should let me know about one one of these days, because I'd love to meet up with some fellow boarders for drinks or something.I scanned the first page and a half of this section for a Philla NYC Jersey thread, but couldn't find one, so sorry if there is one already, and if not, this is it!I'm in Qatar 'till early May, but I figured I'd get the conversation started early. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We have NYC meets once in a while, usually before world-con when lots of Boarders are in town or whenever a Boarder comes to visit.If you want to have a BwB meet up in the New York area I'll certainly be up for it.

Bellis Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Out here in Philly we usually just run into each other on the street and compare mugging wounds. That said, I'm most likely leaving the east coast this summer, so I'd be up for getting together May-ish. I'd also be up for Quizzo at Local 44 some Sunday if anyone's interested, assuming they still do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneliestMonk Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Turinqui,Yes, I'd definitely like to set up a NY meetup when I get back into town. I'm just a short train ride away, so any excuse to get up to the city is a welcome one. Do you have any suggestions on a good place to do it? Bellis,Hah, my only shady experience in Philly was at Kensington and A, but it was terrifying enough to scar me some. A mayish get-together would be awesome, and if it involves something called quizzo, all the better. I tried to check whether or not they still do it, but Local 44's website is blocked at work. Hopefully I'll remember to check again when I get back to my dorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoneliestMonk Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks BJT and Mille.It's been 3 days since I opened this, so we can extrapolate that by may there should be 150 or so people up for a meet up, so we may need a big venue!Seriously though, anyone have any ideas on where to do this thing?

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Best places are usually pubs/bars with some food and a large space for hanging out. The Village is a good overall meeting area because it's fairly easy to get there for just about everyone (and we have a lot of peeps in NJ and in the outer boroughs). Once you start getting into the 40s or higher (or down into LES), the transportation situation gets to be a giant PITA. And Times Square sucks donkey balls.You know, the Ginger Man wasn't actually a bad place to meet -- that back room is nice and big and there's something on the bar menu for just about anyone (wine, beer, mead, non-alcoholic) and it's centrally located to just about every major transpo hub (Penn Station, PATH, subway). And the music isn't so fucking loud that you have to shout to be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagathai Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Quizzo is always fun, once I'm living back in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I also get up to the city several times a year and generally try and do a little meet up. I'll be up again in April some time. I'll post here when I know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneliestMonk Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Alright, the Ginger Man sounds like the place, as long as no one has any objections.Lany,Make it May if you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Alright, the Ginger Man sounds like the place, as long as no one has any objections.I'm trying to imagine why I would ever object to Ginger Man, and failing. I suppose if I was dead set against leaving Brooklyn, it would be a problem, but not otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 NYC is only 3 hours for me. I think i could get down for a get together. Provided i actually check the boards in advance and remember to go that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Oop North Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 According to BeerAdvocate, the Ginger Man is the Best Place that they have ever visited. That's enough of a recommendation to pique my interest in this whole affair. Train prices are also dirt cheap these days, so I will try and keep this idea on my radar. Sometime in May also makes it far more doable for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Be sure to look in the back of the bar. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 With my luck, I'll be waiting in the back of the bar, and you'll all sit in the front of the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
