I was hoping to get an update on some of the meetups around the world (seem to be mostly in western europe, but you get the point).. How did the meetups go?? Any new hookups, stories, pics?? (sorry, I am bored, and have to live vicariously through everyone else).

I'm sure a quick search would find you the threads relating to the four UK meetups that have been held so far.

There's only been one US meetup, in DC. Since DC is four hours away, it's rather undesirable for us NCians.

Oh, for anyone who might be thinking they'll possibly see me at the SF meet, it's not happening.

Damn parents and their need to update the roof, doors, windows, and pool. Also, damn all the weddings that are going on. :(

A Philly meet would be very nice. You know, meet up at the art museum, or something.

That would actually be really great. I live right outside it, plus I'm going to college in the city in either August or June (hopefully June, I wanna get into the summer program).

Blatantly untrue, sir! There have been other US meetups. For example, mine:

Someone should set up a Philly one. I would, but I lack any kind of planning skills. If it's a weekend, it's very likely that I would be able to attend.

Which school? I was thinking about the Institute of Art, or was it the Art Institute? Silly schools.. But now it's looking like Antonelli.. [/random]

You can buy us beer!

University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. I'm going for Pharmacy, but I plan to double major with Biochemistry and minor in Forensic Science if I can. My friend is going to the Art Institute. And that meet up sounds great if we get it together.

The NSers I'd like to meet all live so damn far away. Sumamba and I were discussing once what we'd do if either of us won the lottery...have a serious NS meet-up somewhere decadent and tropical, with a nice padded room for frolicking were the mood to hit anyone :D

sex drugs and rock and roll :cool:

somehow I think an NS meet would be more like

hand shakes, milkshakes and shake shakes ;)

Well things got a little more sexually liberated around here for a while...and then the clampdown forced us to romance one another less publicly. It's much less fun that way.

OK, that's reasonably close to the Waterbury, CT location I'm working at, provided all the logistic variables can be worked out.

Like I said, I have most weekends off during my summer employment. The first and second weekends of August, IIRC, are included.

Well, since I don't have a car, I'll either have to hope I get that job this summer, and that it pays enough so I can afford a really long cab ride, or that the NE US meet gets moved to Maine.

I was thinking that was doable .... btw, last week's roundtrip airfares from here to Frankfurt were like $279 or $379!
I'm sure there's a few people i'd dig hangin' out with, in the trees or whatever! ;)

Sasquatches? I think they're a little too shy, dear.

well, I know a couple of NSers who live in Victoria, Posi lives right across the strait, as does a couple of other NSers...hmmm....we might be able to hold a meet in Victoria indeed...

Part of the reason for my sporadic attendance is the attempt to pick up a few other things for $ of late ... and with some luck i'll have a few comfy bucks before the end of the year.

Train?

Actually, bus from NYC to Maine is pretty cheap, especially if you use the crappy chinese buses from Boston to NYC.
TJHairball
08-05-2007, 22:20
Unless it's a regional commuter rail line, bus is usually cheaper.

So does anybody have good information on connecting commuter lines/buses in the NYC area? I think that'll help more than just me and Maineacs.

For cheap bus transport for between East coast urban areas: http://www.staticleap.com/chinatownbus/

If you are more out of the way, greyhound.com is very nice to use. I found, in like a minute or less, Bangor to NYC round trip in August for $85.
