dolorouseddwasright Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I would definitely like to attend, if something happens. I might even be able to get my girlfriend to come. Ha ha ha ha, ex-girlfriend, and she certainly wouldn't be coming.....*continues maniacal laughter* More importantly, I might get my friend, Ron, to attend. He is very interested in literature but hasn't read any GRRM yet, that I know. I would love to get him talking to fans who could whet his appetite for the great work that GRRM has done for us. I also would like to get to meet some of the other boarders, who have given me much food for thought.Please keep me posted on this possible meeting. Thank you.

Lord of Oop North Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 At least this time I won't be looking for a giant white cat with a goddamned lime on its head.Don't make me confuse you again.Cat costumes can be found. Giant limes can be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raidne Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Are you all still putting together a date for this? I've got to get on the infamous Chinatown bus to NYC sometime, and I"m intrigued by this Gingerman that's full of meatheads instead of Rice University grad students. Of course, you could also all think about heading out to Lany's in late-May early-June (see the thread).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrett Frey Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I didn't even know there was a Ginger Man in NYC and I've lived here since the mid-90's. What an exciting plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Are you all still putting together a date for this? I've got to get on the infamous Chinatown bus to NYC sometime, and I"m intrigued by this Gingerman that's full of meatheads instead of Rice University grad students. Somehow I magically picked the right time to go to the Gingerman in Houston, as the only obviously Rice-related person there was my friend who was doing a post-doc at Rice at the time.Also, I highly recommend Bolt Bus over the Chinatown bus on the DC-NYC route. And I speak from experience.I didn't even know there was a Ginger Man in NYC and I've lived here since the mid-90's. What an exciting plan.:stunned: You should check it out. It's a great place when it's not crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitheach Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Alright, the Ginger Man sounds like the place, as long as no one has any objections.Lany,Make it May if you can!I'm in for the meetup! If Gingerman doesn't work there's a pub in the East Village called 11 Street Pub (11 St. bet Ave A and B, close to the L train on 14th St. and 1st Ave.) that has a back room and isnt so crazy busy that we'd have to yell to get heard.

TheLoneliestMonk Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Well, May's getting pretty close. How does the 22nd or 29th at the Ginger Man sound? Saturdays are best for me, but if it's not good for anyone else, I'm flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 As of right now, we'll only be able to make a meet-up on May 22nd. The following weekend is Maryland Deathfest, and as much as I love you miserable fuckers, I love Melechesh more.(but don't be making plans just on us -- for all I know, we could end up in Chicago the weekend of May 22nd. I won't know about that until next week or so.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Definite no for the 29th, possible for the 22nd.ETA: Or, what Xray said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitheach Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Gingerman May 22nd is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raidne Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Still waiting for Lany to set a date in her thread before I can commit to anything here. I'll send her a PM and see if we can't move things along.ETA: I'm good to go for May 22nd, in terms of scheduling. Have to do a little financial investigation and will be able to confirm for sure by mid-April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raidne Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I lied. I have enough Hilton points to swing a free room, so husband and I are definitely in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneliestMonk Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Alright, the 22nd it is! To those of you who have been there before, will The Gingerman need advanced notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Advance notice? Good question. Last time we ended up taking over the back section of the bar, though I don't remember if that was actually by reservation or just by the sheer power of awesome.

Guest Raidne Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 So, check this out: for 50,000 Hilton Points, you can stay at the Hampton on West 39th, the Hilton on 42nd St, or...the Waldorf Astoria. Score? Is there major construction going on or something? Or is my life really just that charmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneliestMonk Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Sweet deal if there's no catch, Raidne it's gotta be a charmed life. Who all else is going to be comming out to this? It's a month out, is it time to start sending creepy PMs? How do you get the word out to folks who don't stop by this part of the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get the word out to folks who don't stop by this part of the board?We should be there. Honestly, most people who don't check the BwB forums now and then likely won't show up at a meet. Keeping the thread active is a good idea, as people who happen to look into the forum once in a while and see NYC in the title will check it out. 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.
