I'm gonna try and show up this time
I think it would be strange to meet some of you. But I can't see us having a debate about some of the shit OT normally discusses without someone getting stabbed, LMAO.
How did the last meetup go? Anyone end up in a headlock?
Can't believe I'm gonna miss a chance to meet Emily Chu.
Yes, Evilore choked out PXG. Probably led to the humping later.
Last time was good times, hope I can make it again.
Williamsburg is pretty laid back with IDing. In fact I dont think I was ever carded there.
If a few of us want to start early, we can always go to McClaren Park during the day and drink. Turkey's Nest is a bar across the street from the park and they pour cheap beer in huge styrofoam cups so you can drink outdoors. There's also Berry Park which has rooftop seating. Case in point, I'd like to take full advantage of the beautiful weather we're having.
I may throw my hat into this ring. It's on my birthday after all and my sister lives right there in Greenpoint and is always telling me to come out with her and her friends.
Agreed. The more the merrier as the saying goes Gaffer or not. Tell your sister that you're meeting up with a secret fraternity called NeoGAF NeoGAF Believe. We'll make sure your birthday is one to remember. The last meet up was admittedly a bit of a sausage fest but it was still awesome because it was GAF bros so that made it special.Bring her friends.
Would there be much incentive for a non-drunk to come out?

Seriously? It's a meet up...go to have fun and laugh, why would you need incentives? Not like drinking is a requirement.Would there be much incentive for a non-drunk to come out?
That sounds interesting. If you manage to make it, I better expect to see you wearing a pimp hat!
OH, WELL THEN. Enjoy your fancy drinks with your pinky raised up.Haha. One of the things I love about Williamsburg is that warm weather bring out the beautiful girls in droves.
Found out my prior plans are going to be at Hotel Chantelle in the Lower East Side so I'm definitely going to be pregaming early and getting shit faced with you guys. I'll miss out on the nightly events though.
Pre warning!
I have a pretty thick Scottish accent, which can tends to become a lot thicker after a few drinks so I apologize in advance if you can't understand it haha.
Chicks dig it though
You traitor! *shakes fist* Just kidding. You gotta do what you gotta do, so at least you get to please both parties. I've never seen the so called "fine women of Williamsburg" in their neighborhood. I better expect to see hot chicks like fabled Brazilian women of Astoria. They better like Hispanic dudes!Haha.

Haha, smart man!You kidding me? I don't want to blow my cash on 12 dollar drinks. I'm drinking with you fucks so I can nurse my cocktail there.
No worries. One of my good gaming buds is Scottish and has a strong accent as well. I've definitely understood it better over time.Pre warning!

Williamsburg is definitely not like Astoria when it comes to ladies. Astoria is way more "Euro" you could say.You traitor! *shakes fist* Just kidding.

I better expect to see hot chicks like fabled Brazilian women of Astoria. I'm definitely with you on the $12 drinks; that's gonna hurt, so I'm going frugal on this outing. Especially if it's $12 for a cup of beer which would not be cool. At least the LES has drinks on the cheap..

Also I haven't been anywhere in the city where a beer costs $12, haha. At most a beer will be 8 bucks. More likely $6 (which seems to be the norm in the here). I would be surprised if it was super pricey actually as much as Williamsburg has that reputation. It's when you want something besides beer when things get pricey...
I know it's mainly a Greek neighborhood with Brazilians living there as well. I'm intrigued by Astoria as much as I am by Williamsburg. The first time I heard about Williamsburg was in a conversation with a chick at my alma mater about 3 years ago. I immediately thought about Colonial Williamsburg. As it started to become more popular, I realized it was a neighborhood in Brooklyn. It showed how much I barely come out of Manhattan.
If it's a mixed drink for $12, I wouldn't mind paying for that. I prefer mixed drinks over beers any day if it's decently priced. I'm not too worried about the beers being overpriced but if they charge more than $8 a pop for a beer, it better be something that's imported from Thailand or an obscure country that's on the other side of the world. Otherwise, I'll stick to drinking Corona with lime.
Is it Craig Fergusson/Sean Connery thick or is it thicker than that? I swear, in my life living here, I've never met a Scottish person before. Although IIRC, an Aussie was with us on the last outing so that was cool.
Williamsburg is pretty much just hipster-ville. There are a ton of great bars are restaurants in the area though. Nice being at bars that actually play good music too.I know it's mainly a Greek neighborhood with Brazilians living there as well. I'm intrigued by Astoria as much as I am by Williamsburg.

That's my rule of thumb. If all of the decent beer is too steeply priced I'll sink down to shit like Miller Lite if I have to.If it's a mixed drink for $12, I wouldn't mind paying for that.

Nothing wrong with wine I personally can't stomach drinking a lot of it though. I usually end up feeling like shit.I don't even drink beer... i'll be the loser ordering wine

At least it's healthier than beer even though it means having to pay a little bit more. You'll fit right in with the crowd with your wine glass.I don't even drink beer... i'll be the loser ordering wine
Probably a bit like this when sober -

Well since some of us are starting early at a different bat maybe we can think about heading over there before 9 to try and secure a table.I'm 90% sure I'll be there, I love Radegast (15 min walk from my place).
The only thing I'm concerned about is finding a table for this many people- it's hard enough going to that place with a group of 5 since it's always packed.
Jipan: Which frat? I have a lot of friends that are LULs and Phi Iota Alphas (both hispanic frats).
If I were Evilore, i'd be terrified to go to this place. Might as well wear a giant sign "HUMP ME IF YOU WANT A TAG". Good luck lore!
If it's 9 or past that, we should be fine. The place is usually most packed at around dinner time (since they make some pretty awesome, authentic German food. dem brats).Well since some of us are starting early at a different bat maybe we can think about heading over there before 9 to try and secure a table.
Given how this forums has a distaste for hipsters (and a lack of definition for one), I'm not too terribly surprised.
Shit. Should I show up in disguise? I'll throw in a pair of Wranglers and a football jersey. Maybe some giant white sneakers to match.Given how this forums has a distaste for hipsters (and a lack of definition for one), I'm not too terribly surprised.

If it makes you feel any better I wore girl's jeans in high school during the emo/screamo craze.Seriously, don't make fun of this getup. This was my middle school and high school attire, sans the football jersey.
