BWB Jersey NYC Philla

[Lord of Oop North]

In my experience, a lot of people coming to a local meet like this won't actually post that they are coming until a week or so from the meetup.

Or, when it's 8:20 PM, and the next bus to NYC leaves at 9:00 PM.

;)

Oh Crap. May 22nd eh? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it :(

Note to LoON: LOOK IN THE BACK OF THE BAR!!!!

Well that's a bummer. :frown5:

[Guest Raidne]

For DC events, I send loads of PMs, texts & stalk chat to cajole people starting about two weeks out, because I'm a little bit crazy like that. :) by the way, is Relic still in NYC? I hate missing the chance to meet longtime nemises. TC, I'm terribly bummed that I won't be meeting you, but I'm sure we'll be up again.

This sounds like fun. How do you guys usually identify eachother lol? Just ask around the bar until you find someone that understands what you mean when you ask if winter is coming? haha

[dolorouseddwasright]

If I make it up there I think I'll just call out "HODOR" and follow the answering "HODOR"s until I find everybody. Assuming that doesn't get me thrown out into the street immediately.

Plan B is to yell out "Valar Morghulis" and see if I can get a "Valar Dohaeris" back.

Again, I'll probably get my happy butt tossed out into the street.

Walking up to a group of people you think might be fans of ASOIAF and asking if they are with the BwB or from the Westeros forums usually works pretty well.

You could always take a look in the gallery linked from this thread to see if anyone who says they are attending has a picture in there.

Or look for people with Blame Pod shirts. Seems to be at least one person wearing one of those at most meetups. Last time we met at Gingerman, I'm pretty sure it was Pod wearing that shirt.

HAHA

Love it.

What is "blame pod" ? lol. How did I miss this fad?

It's not a fad, it's a way of life.

Or at the very least a long, long running thread topic. The latest iteration is here.

The easiest way will be to listen for the dude singing tunelessly about a bear licking honey from some broads hair.

And now we all know how to find you.

[xythil]

Where did the blame pod thing start lol

What was pod originally blamed for?

[TheLoneliestMonk]

And now we all know how to find you.

That's the idea :smoking:

ETA seriously though, I'm going email them and try to set up a BWB table, so if that works out you can just ask a bartender or hostess or something where the BWB is at.

[Guest Raidne]

Just walk up to the bar and ask them to point you in the direction of the nerds. Works every time.

Or you can make like Arlington Bill and FezRock and blow a good 20 minutes sitting at the bar next to each other not realizing that you're both there for the same gig until everyone shows up and laughs at you. :)

Or, as perhaps a less embarrassing alternative, you can PM me for my cell # and call me when you get to GingerMan. I might even hear it ring and answer. ;)

[Merrett Frey]

You all seem to know one another already. Are newcomers welcome?

[TheLoneliestMonk]

All are welcome! :cheers:

It'll be good if I'm not the only one who doesn't know anyone else.

[Guest Raidne]

Oh, I have not actually met a single person of the NYC BwB yet except Mr. X.

[TheLoneliestMonk]

I just spent some time looking at the beer list and got stoked all over again about the venue choice. So I just had to bump. Shamelessly.

:cheers: I'm also anxious to meet all who attend!

[fitheach]

What time is the meetup?

[Lany Freelove Cassandra]

I am always up for a visit to "the city" Just need to check the cub scout calendar and the check book.
