HEY I was just thinking about this the other day and esiann mentioned it in a topic today, so I thought I would help RESURFACE THIS IDEA

For those of you who missed the original topic, here it is if you want to maybe glance over who lives where, what the propositions were, etc.



Alright, so basically I need input:

Who is interested in attending a GW meet in the Northeast sometime in the next few months (March/April?)
What would be the best central location to allow as many (cool) people as possible to come?
When would be the best time period to do this?
Is a concert/show the central event that we should organize this around? Would you rather meet at someone's house?


I think a lot of people agreed that NYC would be the best place to hold this, since it might allow a bunch of non-Northeasterners to take part. Personally, I would prefer Boston but that is because I live in MA so heh. Boston is cool, but it would hold back a lot of people. Also, there's a shitload of things to do in NYC and some of you have yet to visit it, so this would be a MOTIVATION to come to GW meet.

If enough people are still interested, and the concert thing is still OK with everyone, I will start looking for some shows.



TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK (meets ar egay)

NYC gets my vote because I live within like 30 minutes of nyc by bus.  It is great and yes there are tons of things to do and it is really easy and relatively cheap to get around.

A show would be a good idea but I'm not really sure what's coming up in April.  Start lookin for a show

i could maybe do NYC, but someplace like DC or Baltimore or even Philly would be better imo. they're more CENTRAL EAST COAST. it all depends though

I'd go, but I'm already headed to NYC June 29th-July 6th. Gonna catch a Yankees game and celebrate my birthday.  If you guys need any recommendations for places to eat or things to do though, let me know.

let's do baseball Im serious we can get crummy outfield tickets probably for the mets (the Yankees got a new stadium I dunno how cheap that would be) but uh really I'm not willing to take time off from school so I'd probably only make it out there if it was over my spring break, and I'd have to be cheap. so yea maybe depends what you guys settle on!

Also DC sounds the coolest

Also Mar 14-22 is my break just lettin you know

fuck you guys if you go to DC and I'm still at school.  I'm serious.

edit: JUST KIDDING if for some reason you do DC make sure it's a weekend and I will definitely come.  Also I can do Philly.  NYC is a little more iffy but if I can make it that would also be cool.

I'm coming to NYC, but not until September so I guess I'm out.  It's also a business trip so I don't know if I'd have time to do anything recreational anyway.

fuck not being in pittsburgh anymore

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

now I want to go to this one too because all the badasses are going to this one

I won't be able to make march, I probably wouldn't be able to make april either but may would be good. I don't know when they hold the canadian meet but if maybe we make that one july/august and this one may/june it would be attainable.

I'm not really worried about it though and I'll make any one of em that I can.

I live right outside of Philly, so that gets my vote.  Depending one the "activities", I would go to NYC, or DC.
