NYC GAF Meetup: March 31st - Hump Evilore Harder
- Thread starter Mully
- Start date
- Status
On the day of I'll describe what I'm wearing but you can easily pick up the Gaf aura, it's ineffable. Also when I'm there I'll probably put up a post of where we're located at the bar. If you're still unsure, PM me and I'll give you my number.
Just find the biggest looking nerd and say, "Hi Jason"

You will find us with ease.
Ok, sorry for a lapse in keeping things updated. I haven't had time to do anything lately due to work.
As of right now, the plan is to have an unofficial afternoon meetup at 4PM at Berry Park, followed by the "Official" meetup at 9PM at the Radegast Biergarten and Hall. We'll stay there for about two hours then begin our bar crawl North on Bedford Avenue.
Night time attire is whatever. I know some have talked about wearing suits; if you'd like to wear one go ahead, otherwise have fun! If you have anymore questions, you can PM me for my cell phone number.

Leaving for NYC in about an hour. Got about 15 hours of travelling in front of me!
Ouch! 15 hours from Scotland?

Since I've got nothing better to do (per usual), count me in.

I'll probably be by the park at 4, proooobably with lawblob? well have to see.
Wife gave me full blessing to attend this, so im' game for whenever.
First we might have to work in a little SF v Tekken.
I will text you when I hop on. I'm trying to figure which way would be more efficient, stopping at Jamaica, taking the J train from Jamaica to Broadway Junction, then switching to the L train or taking a train to Penn, then taking an A,C,E train to 14th Street and hopping on the L train from there.
Great. Some of us will be there around 4PM, others more toward 5PM.
Looks like Jason, Jamieson and I are aiming to get there at about 4 as well.
Same, should be at Berry Park between 4 & 4:30.
Please PM your phone numbers to me and a few other members before tomorrow night. It would help make things a bit more organized. Chaos is fun, but I don't want to be searching for people, yelling their usernames to find them.
"Smokey! Smokey! SMOKEYMICPOT!!" 'Excuse me, have you seen a guy named Smokeymicpot?"

Sure thing! Show up for lunch and well take it from there
Will PM my number in a min.
As for the rest, I'll introduce myself as Xavier and look like dis
Yeah no I won't feel awkward riding the subway with you at all.
I'll just stand there on the subway platform and never find you. Perfect.
I know this is a bit ahead beyond the meet up, but would anyone be interested in a mini GAF meet up for the Drawathon on April 13th (Friday)? Obviously this is more of a niche event for artist GAF, but it'd be cool to do that. I'm thinking of going. Its $10 in advance, $15 at the door at the Pratt campus in Brooklyn. Plus free food and beverages. 14 hours of non-stop drawing from 7PM to 7AM. I remember reading Jordan Mechner's blog post about going to one and having fun. Admittedly, I wouldn't want to go to by myself. I'd be willing to make a thread if enough people are interested. Otherwise, I'd be going alone.
Also, most of you have probably seen the ads in the subway about the NY Auto Show from April 6-15 at the Javitz. While I don't really care about cars myself, it'd be a nice event to shoot the breeze at.
Any way, I don't think I'll be at the early meet up (I'm trying to be frugal), but I'll be appearing at the night meet up. If I'm feeling up to it, then I'll show up to the early one (I'll hit up Jason if anything). I've posted pictures of myself before and used my real pic so some people have an idea of what I look like; a 6'3 Hispanic dude with tan skin and a light Spanish accent. I'll just post a picture of the accessories that I typically wear as soon as I get home.

Sounds like fun, I'll go! I had no idea it even existed.
I think going to Jamaica might be faster. But then again, going to Penn Station will give us more time to bro-out on the LIRR. Which one are you leaning towards?

Right here bitches.
I'm thinking we take it to Penn, it's 20 minutes longer, but It's only a 3 stops from Penn to 14th, and then only 3-4 stops to Bedford. I think the Jamaica route may take about 10 minutes longer.
Anyone good with the subway know what's best for us LI'ers?
Wish I could be of some help. Usually I'm the man for subway directions but I never travel to or from Long Island.
Wah wah.
When I went to Billyburg last year for my brother-in-law's bachelor party, we did the Penn route. We were able to handle it pretty well while we were all blackout later that night. I don't plan on going hard tomorrow night, so I think this route is the right way to go Tang Meng.
Sure thing. I might be boarding at Rockville Centre btw. I'll keep you updated.

Not a fan of this rain right now. Hopefully it stops. I might suit up because I look badass in a suit at this moment. Chances are I won't though.
Cool, that makes two of us. Bring out your big guns; it's going to be a long night. I saw a flyer posted on a bulletin board in my school's Art department (I practically live there), so a light bulb lit up in my head. Getting back home is going to be a tremendous pain in the ass. I'll definitely need to buy a new high quality sketchbook for it (I'm using a crappy Pearl brand spiral sketchbook).
Oh nothing much. Only that a bunch of guys are going to meet up in Brooklyn early in the day and then later in day as well. It's about damn time you popped into the thread! So you in?
I passed by Latitude while I was walking to the A train yesterday; so many memories kicked in. I took a picture of the pizzeria that smokeymicpot and I stumbled into; it was ridiculously packed. Once I find my USB cable for my phone, I'll upload it. Every time I walk through 8th Avenue, I keep remembering the antics.
EDIT: The current forecast says it's going to be raining into the evening. Bring out your biggest umbrellas and bust out your boots; it's gonna be a wet one. I mean a little rain isn't going to stop the meet up for sure. However, it would have been nice if it weren't raining.

Sorry guys I won't be able to make this one, got a lot of studying to do since I'm starting to fall behind in chemistry. I'll catch the next one, hopefully we can do something for spring break.

This fucking cold sucks where has the 60 degree weather gone for today?
This afternoon and tonight are looking pretty damp and chilly. Make sure you dress appropriately and loosen up a bit once we get started.

I actually might be able to make it out tonight. I'm free after 10pm, but I was invited to a party somewhere in Manhattan. I'll probably check that out; if it sucks, I'd love to drop by you guys and hang out. I just don't know how late everyone will be staying at Radegast.

Going to have to pass for tonight. Feeling kind of bleagh at the moment, not really feeling the hour ride + walking in this weather. I'll try to make it next time.
