SoFlaGAF Meetup Thread - Sat, May 12th #1

Hey all you cool cats in the Tri-County Area!

Come increase your awesome quotient by meeting up with us on Saturday, May 12th, 2:00PMish at Haulover Beach in North Miami!

Yes I know this is ridiculously short notice.

Yes I also know Haulover Beach is well-known as a clothing-optional beach. Rest assured that it is "clothing required" for all GAF members in attendance.

Sing! Dance! Be merry! Possibly burn! What could go wrong?

See you there!

That would require driving in Miami.

Why would you put people through that?

And nice, Bastille Day! I'd love to make the trip up for that.

Man, at least use an arcade in Hollywood or Aventura or something. I loathe going to Miami, no offense.

I'll be back in town Saturday afternoon, but I'm not fond of beaches. Dave and Busters? That's another story.

Woah. What. Beach? Miami? In two days? Maybe if I had my own car, but... not likely. Plus I'd probably never fit in at GAF meetups... too young and don't drink. oh welllllll

Pau can't drink. I think that has something to do with why we're going to a beach. It has been made clear to me that it doesn't have anything to do with why we're going to a nude beach.

Way too short notice for me. I just spotted the thread. I also just saw the Zelda Symphony/Orlando meetup thread. I might make that if my finances hold out.

I'll bookmark the thread. Hopefully this won't be the only meetup? If there are future meetups, I'd be willing to pick-up a couple people if they needed a ride. I'm in the South Broward area.

Also, I have to agree, after living here for most of my life, I'm kind of over the beach. Still, that's not a deal breaker at all.

Yeah, the short notice is what you get when you have 3 Miamians organize this. The WrassleGAF meetup we did was set up a month in advance.

Yeah, hopefully the next one won't be on such short notice. And I'll hold you on the ride. :)

that place is amazing, and it's not like we have shit left open down here for comics besides A&M, buuuuut...the prices (outside of their sales out front) aren't so good. i keep looking at trades and thinking "I wonder how much amazon has this for".

Do we have to do this at the beach? It seems like a rather not-popular idea.

On the other hand, dorky hangouts like arcades/comic book stores seem pretty short-lived as far as meet-ups go, and aren't very social places.

If you guys decide to go somewhere else, I'm down. Provided I can take the bus there or any of you can give me a ride. Really sucks to be without a vehicle in this god forsaken town. -_-

I think there's maybe two or three other people in this area. TheSeks lives literally on the other side of the lake I'm looking at right now - we gotta hang out some time. And there's another GAFfer at UF...

Maybe the central/northern FL GAFfers can find a decent middle ground.

I agree, Tate's would be ideal. Maybe in the summer?

I've literally been going there since they opened.


I also go to the Hollywood D&B all the time, since I play Pump there.

It's not too late to update the locale!

Seriously, there's a lot we could do at Tate's, and it'd be infinitely less awkward than this beach place.

Could even hang out afterward for fightan games.

This shit so doesn't belong in this thread. I'm sorry, I mean I'm happy for you and everything, but come on. Florida's got its crap, meeting up will only improve the status quo. And obviously you won't be in attendance.

Attention! Due to overwhelming demand, the location and date of this meetup will be hereby rescheduled to give people more time! Hereby accepting suggestions as to location and timing. I'm overwhelming cool with Tates, but I'm imagining we have plenty of people who would much rather we do it further south.
