We should probably try and get a headcount, that way we know what the bill is going to be like if we do venture to a restaurant on the 18th.

BTW, is anyone coming from Long Island? It'd be awesome to have a buddy to and from the bar.

I'm from Long Island! But I don't know if I'll make it. What town are you from?

Damn, if it was a week later, you guys could come see a band I play in (if you would be into that sort of thing). I often play in Manhattan, but mostly in the Village. I might have a gig on that night, but I don't drink so I might bring the meet-up down anyway.

About the suggestion of taking the Staten Island Ferry: yes it runs every 30 minutes, but only until 1 a.m., then it runs once an hour (on the hour on Staten Island, on the half-hour on Manhattan side). You end up planning how long you stay out based on that damned boat schedule. It's even worse on the weekends, where it does this after 7 p.m..

Massapequa.

I'll be taking the Babylon line. Although I might not be able to go because I could be working a wedding that night.

You do realize that if I come, you're going to be forced to sit through another one of my interviews with you.

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
Damn wish I was still on the right coast so I could go to this, I had a ton of fun at the summer meetup.

Anyway the NYC gaffers I hung out with are pretty cool guys who don't afraid of anything, you guys all better go out.

Hey, you guys realize there is a GAF bar on 48th and 9th, which might be a lot easier to get to for a lot of you...

Sign me up for the 13th, you said the magic word. CHEAP.

I agree with aparis, the gaf on 48th and 9th is easier to all the transportation.

I'll try to make it. Monday might be tough because it would be a little late but definitely the 18th should be good.

We have a call sign? A secret handshake?

This is kind of surreal. I just started posting here last month or so, and now I'm already going to be meeting some of you. Exciting and frightening at the same time.

Just look for me, the tall bald guy. I'm considering wearing my Mr AngryFace shirt but I don't even know how many of you new GAFfers would recognize or remember.

You got something against us heteros?
Click to expand...

No not at all! Some of my best friends are heteros. Lol.

I actually want to go to the Gaf meetup on the 18th but I had my trepidations because I didn't know if it was inclusive of all types. :\

It appears that it is open for all. So I may stop by.

The Gaf West means I don't have to take the route I usually take to get to school (A-->7-->6 Uptown) on the UES. That means I'll be there in about 25-30 minutes via the A train from Washington Heights. Assuming the place can accommodate a huge amount of people, it's good. I wonder if we're gonna stand in the public cameras ala EvilLore's antics since we're near them. That would be funny.

If anyone has GAF shirts, now you have a reason to wear them; it'll make it extremely easier to identify people. I don't have any yet, but I'm thinking about checking out a couple of them soon; especially the God Hand shirt. Otherwise, name tags will do just as nicely.

Well, we can always walk to Times Square from GAF West for the live streaming videos (10-15 min walk).

I wouldn't stress having name tags. May be fun but we'll be conversing with one another just fine. Hopefully the weather will be nice to us but it'll still be too cold to just wear a gaf shirt.

Yep.

I don't know any of yall besides Kisaya and KC, but I'd be more than happy to get to a bar and hang out with some really cool people who are also looking to have a good time and we're all wearing our GAF shirts.

It's a sports bar but there's a reason why I picked it. You guys ready?

Wait for it...

...

...



$1 Beers on Mondays

I have to call and double check if they're still doing it but that's mostly the spot we should hit. Say around 9pm?

Sounds doable...any chance of further downtown? Thinking village or LES perhaps?

So far I found that if I go too far down or too far up, someone's going to be a new yorker and complain something about not having the right subway for this. Midtown seems the most fair for everyone.
