The NYC Megafest in progress thread.

Well, I’m here. Which is to say, Canby and I decided to stay at one of the hotels just for the heck of it – I’m using the opportunity to have some work done in my apartment.

The Red Roof has wifi included with the price of the room! Yay for geek hotels! Pictures and news as events warrant.

Be good! Have fun! Check in often! Wear a condom! :wink:

No-no! Don’t wear it there! You’ll just mess up the–

Sigh. Never mind. Damn New Yorkers.

Last night at Blondie’s was very much fun. Lots of laughs and boobies and tattoo sharing and butt-squeezings. (I captured rtfirefly squeezing Persephone’s butt with my digital camera! :smiley: We’ll be discussing the terms of the extortion tonight, probably.)

My wife is currently making cookies for all her cookie junkies tonight (chocolate cookies, not her ever-lovin’ chocolate chip).

We’re looking forward to this evening’s festivities at America and No Idea.

Later, gators!

I shall echo the Dave-Guy’s comments; Blondie’s was fun, even though it got too loud for me to track conversations after a while. Before it did, though, it was great to actually add voices to posting styles of people.

Must go do family stuff, and then will see people at No Idea later tonight, partner-in-crime in tow most likely. Even as I type, he is shaving his head.

Question about tomorrow is the trip to Ellis Island still on? Also what was decided for ethnic night?

Have fun guys! Say hi to Opal and Sev for me!

Duh, I meant UDD…

Where the hell is my coffee, dammit?

I would like to say I had a fantastic time last night meeting a bunch of people, and having everyone sing “happy birthday.”

I even got a puppy. :smiley: (but I can’t find his email address :frowning: )

Yep, the Ellis Island trip is still on. Meet at noon at Castle Clinton (the ticket office) in Battery Park.

We’ve got three options for Ethnic Food Night, Indian, Chinese and Brazilian. I’ll have details on all three at Ellis Island, or you can hunt for the sign-up thead which has the full set-up.

Whoa. I’m gone for a week & the whole damn board looks completely different.

In any case, I’m not gonna make No Idea after all; my flight didn’t get in until around 4:20 PM & then I had to talk to a supervisor about an accident on board (Long story short: I got hit across the bridge of the nose with a metal cane; yes, I’m okay. Full story to be told & retold tomorrow.).

Between filling out an accident report & waiting for the cab, I didn’t enter my domicile until maybe 6:30 PM & what with the nose-whacking, I think my mom’d feel better if I stayed home tonight.

We’ll have to celebrate my birthday a day late.

I wanted to post this morning, but I was far too hungover to get a coherent thought out. Actually, I’m still somewhat hazy, but I’m also pretty bored at the moment soooo:

I had a really great time too!! Thank you sara for draggin’ me out, and a warm hearty thank you to nyctea for giving me a place to crash.

I wish I could be joining y’all the rest of the weekend and next year I’ll actually plan (and save) for it.

Oh, and my apologies to the lovely lady to whom I probably embarrassed by walking up to and proudly proclaiming “I love you”. As lovable as I’m sure you are :wink: I was sorta kinda performing a task given to me during Opal’s blank cards game. (Ummm, I wonder if this means I’ll lose those points now?).

Had a fantastic time yesterday - though I’m still so tired I don’t think I could put together a coherent post of what was said and done (Other than two comments that the small group of us from the Gaming Walk will never forget - House of Random Pickles and E-Sabbath’s flag being at half mast), so I’ll leave it to people that can turn a better phrase than I.

However, I CAN leave you with pictures. From Saturday Sadly, there aren’t any pictures of the Gaming Tour itself… I just didn’t think to take pictures of gaming geeks buying stuff! :stuck_out_tongue:

Enjoy!

I’ve got some pics, too.

Blondie’s, Friday Night

Transit Museum and Brooklyn Bridge, Saturday Afternoon

America and No Idea, Saturday Night

Photographic evidence of Zoltarb eating my cheese steak.

I’m back in Montreal, safe and sound (all things considered).

Jeremy is sewing up those once-fantastic bellbottoms that I was wearing Saturday night.

Wanna know why? Don’t sleep in the subway, darling. :mad:

Might post more later. But I have a good excuse to call in sick for work tomorrow.

There’s a great shot of my hair in #17. Also in that picture is Ginger appearing to clap like a total spaz. :slight_smile:

Wow, those pics are big. I just went to look at this one: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/pf16a85d84254983bdb2fde0dbc9f0437/f9e8b212.jpg.orig.jpg

and when I enlarged it, I thought it somehow erroneously linked to some picture of a baseball game.

That first picture? I’m ALL for it!
Damned dogbreathed Commie pinko bastards.

Tripler
Just a shame I couldn’t see it in person. Maybe next year. :frowning:

Maybe it’s just my monitor, but those pictures are coming out really dark. So much that I almost can’t tell who anyone is. :frowning:
