As long as I can get shit faced with ya'll at night, I'm down for something low key during the day. No artichoke pizza though. GOD DAMN NO!!!!!

Haha, you know you want some. :p If we're around that area, I'm definitely getting a slice this time. It'd be funny if Emmy were to throw away his food like he did last time. :D

;) Also, to help you guys get some ideas off the ground: 101 Things to do in the Summer in New York City 2012.

Always count on Jason to suggest some places. Now all we need is Chuck Nice erm I mean number47 to get his ass in here and all will be right in NYC land. I better go tell kccitystar as well.

Here's the banner of the month like I promised. Nice and simple:

Here's the banner of the month like I promised. Nice and simple:

Try rehosting it.

There we go.

You guys are wack!

Someone said we're wack!
Why would they say that?
I don't think we're wack.
Who said we're wack?
Who said we're wack?
I can't believe that.
They must be smoking crack,
To say that we're wack.
Say that we're wack?
You'll probably get smacked.
If you say we're wack.
Did you say we're wack?

[Kccitystar]

Heard a rumor, that someone said we're wack.
I think that it's wack, to call someone wack.
I am not wack, no matter what you say,
What did you say? Did you say I'm wack?


oh god why did I know this song

[Tawpgun]

Might be interested. Depending on gameplan.

[Jipan]

I'd like to point and laugh at the legendary MrOogieBoogie in person should he ever be available to make to a meet up. This is one guy everyone and their mother has been dying to see at a meet up. He sounds like a charming devil based on the video that he posted in the voice thread. Since he's a hot shot waiter by day and a pretty boy actor by night, he might not have time to make it to one (unless he asks for a day off or we demand it).

I'd also like to hear stories of Old GAF from Evil Solrac 3.0 in person as well as meet some more Hispanic Gaffers such as SolarPowered who probably notices these meet ups but ignores them. :( No matter, kccitystar and I shall provide the Spanish speaking fun in aces (although I understand that Mully speaks some decent Spanish).

I demand that this song be played at the meet up as our official anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshORRaNNNU

I'm gonna steal your coca cola shirt.

[Kccitystar]

I'm gonna steal your coca cola shirt.

I wore it at the first official NYC meet, which was great

[smokeymicpot]

Not gonna lie no booze is gonna be strange. If anything if you guys do it a day I can attend chances are I will pop up at night not during the day.

[Mully]

So far we've only had a few people tell us what days they are available. We need more. It seems like the people who have joined in so far want the meetup later in the month, during the weekend, and Saturday would probably be the best day.

Alcohol seems to be a controversial topic so far. I'd like to make it clear that it will not be the main point of the meetup. This does not mean anyone of age can't drink, it just means it's during the day and let's enjoy each other's company outside. Drinking will probably be done later that night.

If we could get some of the lurkers and possibly the regulars from the previous meetups to chime in, we'll have a concrete idea of what we are going to do by the end of this week. Please, if you have not already, post your ideas and what days you're available.

[Tashi]

You guys are wack!

You're a herb!

Might be interested. Depending on gameplan.

Do it! For the love of HaloGAF!

[kisaya]

Mayyybbbeee I'll bring some peeps if we're short on people ;)

Bring them either way. It's always fun to meet new people.

Haha, the last word I would use to describe myself is legendary. But thank you, that made my otherwise miserable week. :P

Yeah, I am pretty damn busy these days (most of my GAF browsing is done on my phone since I'm always out), and I will be out of the state from August 17-26. I'd love to hang out with everyone, though.

[Tashi]

So when's this ish happening.

[Tashi]

K just got word that my work party is on Sunday the 19th. I'm good to go on pretty much any other day. Just let me know ahead of time so I can take off of work because I work almost everyday.

[El Sloth]

So when's this ish happening.

How about this weekend? The 5th

[Filth]

Here's an idea possibly. Manhattan beach in Brooklyn. Right by the train and a nice small beach with a huge bar b q area. It closes at 9 pm and is 10 minutes from coney island which gets crazy at night.

[Magni]

I'm out of town this weekend and will probably be busy the one after but I'm down for the weekends of the 18th of 25th. During the week may be a bit tougher since I'm working.

Saturday, August 25th seems good to me for August... any Saturday really if we're doing a day-time thing (or even Sunday to a lesser extent). Friday is terrible for most of us with a full-time day job, for obvious reasons.

If people want to meet up in September or Labor day or whatever (which I'm not totally opposed, I can't guarantee I won't be out of town though) that's a September meetup, not an August meetup... there's no rule that says if we meet up only two or three weeks apart all our faces will explode.

I like this. A lot. What does everyone else think?

Sounds far but I like the idea, someone bringing burgers?

Another good idea. What does everyone think about the 25th? Also, I'd bring a few packs of Bubba Burgers. I like to believe I'm the grill master.

[Magni]

The 25th is good for me.

[Tashi]

25th is cool. Like I said I'm down for pretty much anything.

[Technosteve]

If you guys are interested in pop art

[Emily Chu]

I like this. A lot. What does everyone else think?

Oh yeaaaaah BBQ on da beach!!!

Manhattan beach nice and simple during the day time hours

Are there grills there ?

[Mully]

Philooch is pretty sure there's a BBQ area there so I'll take his word for it. If anyone else knows, please chime in. Also, the Brighton Beach subway stop is one mile west of Manhattan Beach. I have no issue with this, but I can see some logistical problems. Would everyone be down for this idea?

[kisaya]

Ahhh I'm gonna die at the beach, hahaha

Sounds fun though if everyone is down ;p 25th is a good date too.

[Tawpgun]

Do it! For the love of HaloGAF!

We'd be the only ones :P

uhh is there like a staging area for everyone to meetup close to the beach, because lol it's a big beach, I suggest we first meetup @ a cafe, or dunkin donuts or w/e the heck is nearby.

sounds like a good idea

There's a strip of shops, Dunkin Donuts, and cafes on the way there. What time would everyone want to be there by? I'm guessing 1-2PM would be a good time?

its a bbq area you need to bring your own grills no propain just charcoal. i work literally on the beach so i know all the rules :P


there is also a closer stop nearby i believe and the bus stops right in front of the beach. if any1 is confused just lookup how to get to kingsborough college cause its like 2 blocks from the beach.

emmons ave is also really close. they have lots and lots of places to eat and is a great spot to meetup. they're is also parking at the beach for 20 $ all day till 8pm. you cant park on the streets saturday and sunday at all in that area.

[Tashi]

We'd be the only ones :P

Nah we have Magnivald

Ouch. If someone local has a portableish grill that'd be great, otherwise we may need to look at other parks preferably with a beach that have their own grills.

[CountAntonius]

I'll be there.

[Mully]

So it looks like Manhattan Beach is going to be the place and the 25th is going to be the date. What time would be best for the meetup? We also need to bring a grill for the meetup. If anyone would like to volunteer to bring one that'd be great. Otherwise, we may need to look at parks with grills already.

[Davedough]

How easy is something like that to get to for someone not from NYC and petrified to drive in big cities?

[Mully]

Not that difficult. GPS is always helpful, but I'd really suggest you leave your car in Jersey and make your way over by train. I think it'd be cheaper.

[-PXG-]

The 25th is perfect for me as well.

[Tashi]

I was just gonna make sandwiches and bring a cooler. Just so I don't have to worry about the food situation.

[scorcho]

my precious NYC looks short and stocky in that banner :(

i nominate we meet at the Cloisters. we stay there and ride out climate change and rising sea levels.

I've always wanted to go to the Cloisters. Do you know if they have a picnic area there?

I'm actually going to buy one of these off of Amazon. I'm going to be off from work most days the next few weeks so I'll be going to the beach a lot more. This portable charcoal grill will come in handy.

[El Sloth]

*It's in the middle of Fort Tryon Park, so yes. Plenty of areas for
picnics. It's a pretty awesome park. Great view in certain areas.

What would rate The Cloisters' zombie defence level at?

[scorcho]

I've always wanted to go to the Cloisters. Do you know if they have a picnic area there?

Fort Tryon Park allows food, I believe.

http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/for...ghlights/11974

There are natural defense points from which to snipe zombies, as well. I'd rate it at 9 for Zombie defense; 10 if their sea canons still operated.

I've actually hung out with 2 Gaffers (well, one of them is a former Gaffer) at the Cloisters funny enough. I will be available the evening of the 25th as of now, in the day time I get furniture delivered so I won't be around.
