So, all you Mass. people, we had a little discussion going around a few months ago discussing having a bit of a gathering. Then, as New Years approaches, we seem to be having a few other non bostonians coming to the area (Poli and Aerou at least), so I was thinking, since we're going to have a air number of people, we should go ahead with it.

By my count we will have at least 6 people in and around the Boston area this month/early next month, so what do y'all say? I'm thinking January 3rd, a weekend for those of us who work around here, but early enough from New Years that our out of towners wouldn't have left yet.

*is pretty damn far away from Boston; goes to sulk in corner*

I'm up for it. We could all do lunch or something. :)

hey, EVERY party needs an honorary german

But I don't WANT to be an honorary German; I want to be an actual, present, partying German. So I shall continue my sulking until somebody kindly offers to fly be back and forth with their private jet or something.

Balls.

Is there never a gathering the the Pacific North-wet? (Thought it's less wet here in Spokane than it is covered in two feet of champagne powder.)

Oh, you call one (and do the jet/airfare thing) and there's gonna be one (of at leats two people, i.e. you and me).

Also: Champagne powder? *clueless, yet intrigued*
ETA: True to my own beliefs, I retract my question re: something that has a wiki article.

LOL, thanks. You managed to engage and assuage my pet online peeve in mere seconds.

I'll start the formative stages of a NWUSA NSG meet.

I will cheerfully donate all the money I have to the "flying SoWiBi to Boston" cause.

....unfortunately, at the moment, that literally appears to be 17 cents. Sorry.

I'm only eight hours by car from Boston, so if someone wants to come pick me up...

That's okay; small things add up, too. So will you be using PayPal?

You want someone to make two 16 hour car trips to get you and bring you back?

LOL, thanks. You managed to engage and assuage my pet online peeve in mere seconds.

Good. I literally start pounding my fist whenever I see people ask wiki-able definitions online (and actually, I'm even pedantic/elitist/grumpy/whatever enough to also get angry when people do not venture over to google/urbandictionary/acronymfinder before asking - I mean, it's the internet; we're sitting on information), and I was terribly embarrassed to have fallen into the same trap for a second there.

Well, not only him. Seeing how certain people's funds appear to be limited, maybe all we can do is fly SoWiBi to someplace cheaper than Boston, e.g. M's location, and then they could pick me up from there as well.

Yes, I'm aware of Boston's location, and it's relative proximity to Germany, but IF for some bizarre reason flying a longer way in WOULD be cheaper...

Maineiacs lives in the woods in Maine. The closest international airport to him is likely Logan Airport in Boston. :)

Well, then I guess the news are even better: The lucky driver will not have to make two lonely rides, but have fabulous me on board for entertainment - and they can pride themselves of having given a Boston-Main sightseeing tour to a nice German lady. How's that?

What about Manchester? That's up in NH.

Bangor has an International Airport (they claim), but you'd likely have to fly to Boston to get here.

EDIT: I am only 4 hours 12 minutes from Boston, according to Google.

Fudge to you.

I'm having a Vegas meet up tomorrow:)

You guys have fun!

hmm...I know I have a hockey game at 1 on the 3rd...but I'd be down

I'm up for it. Just let me know when and where. :)

Someone get naked pics of Sarkhaan, please/thanks.

We might not actually get naked, you know. Not all meetups are like the ones you have! ;)

I'll make a distinct effort to remove my pants at some point.

OK, I'm bumping this. So far we got me, Sarkhaan, Poli, and possibly Mur involved. Sdaeriji? Aerou, you in town? Anybody else?

Maineiacs and I could hang out on the St. Croix river, what with me being in New Brunswick and all.

so long as it's after 3 or so, I'm good. Hockey game and all.

yeah, I was thinking evening, meet up in a bar/restaurant or something. Do you know the gov't center area at all? pretty good irish place called Kinsales (or something to that effect).

*votes for sushi*

I venture down there every now and again. So long as the T gets nearby, I can stumble my way around.

Green line gov't center T stop, across the street. Alternatively, somewhere in Brookline works also, as it saves me the issue of travel, but most people coming into the city will be on the Park/South Station/North Station side of things, as opposed to far flung coolidge corner.

Both are about equally accessable for me...I live on the B line and 66 bus line...but don't know anything about Brookline other than it is a bitch to drive through on the Sabbath.

Yeah true, the 66 bus will take you RIGHT to my place. It is, however, the 66, which I am convinced exists more in myth and fable than reality.

If you get to Neo Art's place, ask to see his latex cat suit :wink:

I've seen it before. On truly magical nights when the temperature drops well below zero and the winds gust to 20 mph, you must go to the bus station and sit for three hours. One will magically appear, only to drive right past you because it is too full, and you will get the joy of hailing a cab.

I know a few places in Allston or down by Northeastern, but I'd be down.

Well, that too. But he made me sign a contract explicitly stating I couldn't comment upon it.

so I'm not the only one who has had that joy? Boston buses are usually fairly good, I don't know what it is about the 66. I guess it's because it has to go through Roxbury/Dorchester, and as such, spends a good portion of its journey dodging roving biker gangs mad max style.

the 66 and 57 both suck. I'm willing to bet it is because they have to go through the student ghetto, and Menino hates us.

The 86 sucks as well. And so does the 91. Both (fail to) service my neighborhood.

Actually, the downtown financial area (around Kinsales, Houston's, several other places) would work best for me, primarily because I already know my way around there and I'm lazy as shit.

Also, to show that I'm not ignoring Poli: *votes against sushi* :tongue:

*cries*

But I haven't had good sushi in so long....stupid lack-of-ocean at home. :(

god damn it Gravlen!

Blame Poli. And/or Ruffy. :p

Of course, I'm just jealous that I can't partake in the meetup - and don't get to see it for myself ;)

*Flees*

If someone wants to come get me, I'm in. 4 hours there, 4 hours back.

So, 4 of us so far? Anyone else in the area wanna join in? Kinsale's seems to be the most popular option (sorry Poli)

(sorry Poli)

I'll buy you a lobster you can keep as a pet. They're down to around $4/lb in some markets. That should satisfy your raw sea-meat yen. :p

Well all the other people in and around Boston suck, apparently. Everybody TG me your schedule tomorrow? I'll figure out a time that works for everyone.

That's important to know about them. *nods*

Done. My "schedule" is so pathetic, I didn't even have to check it.

Got it guys, and Mur, we're talking about this for...tomorrow. The thread title is a bit outdated since I bumped it up.

Oh. Fuck. This is the first and last weekend that I'm busy.

Damn you all to hell! *sulks*

On the plus side, that's one less anti-sushi vote for Poli.

Just organize something, and if I can be there, I will be.

EDIT: I knew you didn't mean February. I was just hoping it could be next week, not this weekend.

are you totally busy tomorrow night? Or pretty much the whole day?

But this is also the first and last (well, for now at least) weekend that I'm here! :(

are you totally busy tomorrow night? Or pretty much the whole day?
Pretty much the whole weekend during the days. I'm helping my mom with a project. But I'll check this forum and my TG's and if you can come up with a "this place at this time" thing, I'll show up if I can. Evening would be better, like after 5pm.

Oh, no, we're talking evening. definitly post 5pm. Sark has an afternoon thing anyway, so yeah, we're thinking like 7-8ish.

I hate you all. Why can't you be here in Spain?!:(

Sdaeriji you lurking bastard, what are you up to tomorrow? Do you know if Aerou is around?

Oh, no, we're talking evening. definitly post 5pm. Sark has an afternoon thing anyway, so yeah, we're thinking like 7-8ish.
KK, TG me the final where/when -- like Kinsale's at 7:30. And figure how we're finding each other. I know how to find you -- just look for a lawyer in a catsuit -- but what if you're late? ;)

OK, so I've heard from the 3 of you (mur, sark, poli) and Kinsale's at around 7 seems to work for everyone. Gov't center is on the green line for me and sark and close to park and the red line for Mur. Seems like evening works for everyone.

And when I get lost, just look for the drunk in Bruins gear stumbling around yelling for NSG.

anyway, Kinsale's at 7 I think is good, at least we can filter in that way, they usually have stuffs goin on at saturdays.

Orange line, fyi. And how are we going to find each other? I refuse absolutely to wear a rainbow wig. Are you going to TG us a password?

hah. Well I'll probably be showing poli the way, so she'll be with me. And you can guess what I look like considering we've...you know....met.

Sark can send up a flare.

Or he can just do as Neesika suggested and not wear pants. :p

Bruins cap, pierced nape and eyebrow ring here.

And quite probably a Bergeron jersey, depending on if I feel like changing after the game.

That'll make two of us. Now I'm confused. ;)

Good enough. If I can manage it, I'll be there.

Or he can just do as Neesika suggested and not wear pants. :p

also entirely possible.

Though, my pants usually don't come off untill the 5th tequilla shot.

It's gonna be one of those nights, isn't it?


Good thing I'll be pregaming with Mahm and dad for free.

Why Boston, and why not Chicago, or New York? Not that it affects me (not sure if I'll have a chance to leave St. John's let alone the Newfoundland island next month) but I would've figured that since both were bigger cities, they'd be more likely to have members in their metropolitan areas, and that while Chicago is in the middle of the North American continent, New York is the biggest city in the US, and is still very close to other major US cities...

That'll make two of us. Now I'm confused. ;)


I'll also wear some geeky t-shirt? And be standing next to NA? :p

Why Boston, and why not Chicago, or New York?

because...that's where we are. I live in Brookline, Sark in Brighton, and Mur in Somerville (ironically enough, none of us actually live in Boston proper).

And poli's in the city for new years. I mean, we didn't (except for Poli) actually travel here. We kinda, you know...live here. And she's here already for the new year

Because we live in Boston?

Or I coulda, you know, just said that.

Yeah, Hayteria, huh-duh, honestly. :p

hey now, A) I'm in Lower Allston, not Brighton (I'm way too poor for Brighton), and B) Allston/Brighton is within Boston proper.


So there. :p

I'll also wear some geeky t-shirt? And be standing next to NA? :p
Two of us again! Quit copying me! :D

Two of us again! Quit copying me! :D

ladies ladies ladies. There's no need to fight. I'm sure I can handle both of you.

Sark, take a rain check k?

Fair enough. I would've expected the population of NSGers to be proportional to the general population, but for whatever reason I guess that isn't the case. Anyway, make sure to get plenty of videos of the meetup to post; maybe do things around the city too, maybe show people who are going to the meetup from outside Boston around... not that I've ever been there myself though.

I think they should record a live, realtime debate, that would be hilarious.

So I'll time the fireworks to go off every 5 minutes while the stereo blares "Stars and Stripes Forever"

might be worth it. Poli will be in a geeky shirt, so will Mur. Sark will be pantless and I'll probably just trying to put enough distance between me and him in case I see anyone I know :p

you've been looking into my bedroom again haven't you? But frankly, I prefer the entire orchestra ensemble.

And awesome. I think it would be interesting for those who only know each other through the Internet to meet in person, let alone debate in person. I'm not sure if it's necessary to do it live, but maybe they could record it from various camera angles and splice up the footage or something. But yeah, and don't just debate either, maybe have them as a group go on some of the Boston trains and busses I've heard about... wait, how many people do you expect to see at the meetup?

Actually, I'll probably be the best dressed of the lot of you. :p And my t-shirt will be hidden under a sweater on account of it's January. :D

Okay, so I got on the phone and made certain I have no demands on me for the evening. I'll be there. You all had better show the hell up.

ok we're on. Kinsale Irish Pub & Restaurant, across the street from the gov't center T stop. 2 Center Plaza, Cambridge Street. 7ish

We need to hold one of these up here. Except for the fact that there's nothing to do here.

You guys make it in yet?

You guys make it in yet?

Just got in. Glad we all instinctively head straight to NSG.

By the way, a sweater may have been nice for my walk from the T, much as I hate to admit it.

Yes, dad. :D That was fun. I approve of this "club meeting" thing very much.

hockey "sweaters" just aren't as warm as one would hope.

Well, that was fun. Sdaeriji so totally missed the best night out of the year (most probably, considering the average NSGer's life). :p

Many thanks to NA for suggesting it. 'Night.

Yes, dad. :D That was fun. I approve of this "club meeting" thing very much.

yah, the 3 of us bostonians (and brooklinians...and those of us in slumerville) should do it more often.

:tongue:

yeah but I made you pay for that bravado. I took my time with that cigarette.

It was fun!

Apologies are owed to Neesika, though, since we totally didn't get Sark to take his pants off.

I'm down. Made much easier now that I actually have a clue whom I am looking for. Since I think I scared some poor redhead by walking up to her and saying "Are you looking for people that you don't know what they look like?"

I could have swapped from beer to tequilla and been about equal...but I only really feel comfortable taking my pants off in trashy Allston bars.

Now we know where to meet up next time!

Dude, you wore a bruins jersey in an Boston Irish Bar. You were that guy

Dude. I came from the game. And it's not like I wore a pink hat. It was a legit Bergeron jersey. And I may have initially given the bartender my ticket instead of my ID because a) I'm kinda slow and b) it was folded up where I usually keep my ID

So not "that guy". That Guy wears a KG jersey. Or Teck.

but it's different with sports teams! I mean, I didn't buy the jersey at that particular game...I made an investment so I could be lazy and never have to think about what is appropriate to wear to a B's game. See? Totally different. I swear.

And you get a BS in gameboy for the reference.

It was fun!

S'okay cuz you would have had to get pics for it to do me any good, and besides that, I'm turning over a new leaf this year. Less interest in random internet people now that my random internet people crystalised into something muy fantastic :D

Where the fuck are the fucking photos?

Where the fuck are the fucking photos?

No pictures, to protect the guilty?

THEN IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED.

Ever.

Dude, you wore a bruins jersey in an Boston Irish Bar. You were that guy
And "that guy" could have been any number of guys in Boston. I knew he said he'd probably be in a Bruins shirt, and the whole LOOOOONG time we sat there waiting for your sorry asses, I was thinking 'is that Sarkhaan?' But I was damned if I was going to go asking any random Boston guy in a Bruins shirt if he was waiting for a woman he'd never seen before. If he wasn't I could have spent the rest of the night doing that everywhere I went. :D I'm glad he decided to do the awkward before I was forced to.

So where are the pictures and/or videos of the meetup?

So where are the pictures and/or videos of the meetup?
There are none, unless the bar had security cameras.

EDIT: Say, Sarkhaan and Neo, you guys know more area bars than I do. Wasn't there some place called The Rack or something -- a billiards bar -- that had a live webcam? We should do the next meet up there.
