YES IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!
As of now,
Time: give me some dates people
Place: 41st St. and 6th Ave
i'm just going to assume that this will be the same set up as always so....
-Meet up...somewhere.. we'll figure that out later ^^"
-Go to Kinokuniya
-Find somewhere to snack for all the fat people
(cough JC cough) ^^" There's a chipotle about 2 blocks from Kinokuniya is anyone is interested.
-Chill/relax and eventually go home D:
Spoiler:
If you are coming:
-Find a means of transportation.
-Bring money for food, buying pens from other spinners, and anything else you may like to purchase during the gathering.
-Keep track of your belongings; nobody else is responsible for your stuff if you happen to lose them.
-Bring your pens/mods to sell, trade, and spin.
-If you want, bring a camera to take pictures and videos with.

Nice nice.
I'll be there as long as the date stays where it is or is later in August. I leave for S.Africa to do some research for my thesis this week and will be there until around August 2nd.
I won't have much access to the internet then, so I'll see whats happening with this when I return. -
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 20:04:49
Hellz yeah I'll be there. The day is perfect for me
-
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 20:05:59
If the date was about three weeks later, maybe a little sooner than that, I could go.
-
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 20:07:02
Perfect date for me
God i'm going to look so noob -
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 20:10:44
I was just thinking, maybe it would be nice to have the gathering outdoors (the weather should be nice then), maybe Central Park? If thats not good, there's always Chelsea Park which is a little closer to where we normally go on these NYC Gatherings.
-
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 21:38:33
i was thinking the same thing for at least one part of the day
idk it's up to you guys.
i'm up for anything. -
Date: Sat, Jun 6 2009 22:02:51

Date: Thu, Jun 11 2009 21:48:24
hmmm since mhig can't make it, how would you guys feel about changing the date to wednesday, august 12th?
also, how would you guys feel if we made a stop at chelsea park? -
Date: Thu, Jun 11 2009 22:20:30
I think I may still be able to make it. And going to the park would be fun
Fine with me -
Date: Thu, Jun 11 2009 22:38:20
hmm the park sounds fun, i wouldnt mind. however, i kinda prefer a weekend date for the gathering =\
-
Date: Thu, Jun 11 2009 22:58:13
hmmmm well i was going to say saturday, august 15th but i don't know if JC and Xero will be available around that time:/ i'll ask
-
Date: Mon, Jun 15 2009 03:03:38
I might be able to make it. But damn, do I seriously have to drive in NYC?
-
Date: Mon, Jun 15 2009 03:14:54
It turns out that i am free that day, so I will be able to make it.
-
Date: Mon, Jun 15 2009 06:03:35

keep the date in august though. i got lacrosse for the rest of the summer. -
Date: Mon, Jun 15 2009 20:39:38
I might go. Just need to find a means of transportation.
-
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 00:55:48
To help out kam and a couple people who are interested in coming it's probably going to be best if we move the date to saturday august 15th
sooo yeah ^^ august 15th. be there or be square -
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 01:01:58
kam is coming? =D -
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 01:03:52
xDD no kam is not coming. he just wanted to use august 8th as the date for the SoCal gathering
-
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 01:11:44
wait..i dont get why nyc gathering date is being moved then. not that i'm against this decision, but i dont really understand why.
-
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 01:22:48
because kam wanted that date for the SoCal gathering and JC can't be in two places at once now can he xD
-

Date: Thu, Jun 18 2009 06:35:26
I STILL HAVE MY 2ND NYC GATHERING MX
i lost the first tho. -
Date: Thu, Jun 18 2009 14:28:27
I cant attend on the 15
-
Date: Sat, Jun 20 2009 18:05:55
sorry VN :/ I kinda planned this out with Kam. If I changed it again I think I would have my ass handed to me ><
so for everyone else, it looks like the 15th is the final date. I mean we could do something during the week, but I'm pretty sure that the weekend would be better for everyone. -

yeah, the weekend is better -
Date: Sun, Jun 21 2009 03:04:08
What about sunday, the 16th?
Also, are you sure kino is on 7th ave? I'm pretty sure it was 6th ave. -
Date: Sun, Jun 21 2009 03:09:14
the 16th sounds good too. I need to find out what i'm doing >< not even sure if i can go yet.
and i have no idea about kino. i just kinda copy and pasted from the last thread, but i'll look it up seeing as how JC has no sense of direction -
Date: Sun, Jun 21 2009 03:19:04QUOTE (colourfulXinsanity @ Jun 20 2009, 11:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>the 16th sounds good too. I need to find out what i'm doing >< not even sure if i can go yet.

I'm pretty sure the address they gave on the website or somewhere is wrong because it was wrong last time and I ended up calling Xero to ask, and getting harassed on the phone. Creep.
Anyways, I wonder if VN could make it on sunday? ._. Kinda got a deal going on.
Oh and woah!! Central Park sounds GREAT! but.. but.. but.. first of all. Lots of wind. Grips n shit will fly away. Easy to loose things in the gras.. Iono.. It sounds good but then again, yeah..
If we could go there to make some videos and then go to McDonalds for the rest of the gatering. To trade, sell and hang out. That'd be cool too. Or vice versa. -
Date: Mon, Jun 22 2009 15:36:44
Theres a 99% chance im going as long as its the 15 or before. Sounds like fun
-
Date: Tue, Jun 23 2009 02:28:53
Keep the gathering on the 15th
16th is sisters birthday so I definitely would not be able to make it :/ -
Date: Tue, Nov 17 2009 06:56:34
might as well revive this since the 3rd one didn't exactly happen
-
Date: Wed, Nov 18 2009 03:16:10
Sometime during the week of the 26th - 1st?
-
Date: Wed, Nov 18 2009 07:11:13
well that's a given
My vote is for somewhere between the 26th and 29th -
Date: Wed, Nov 18 2009 08:52:00QUOTE (colourfulXinsanity @ Jun 6 2009, 11:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>There's a chipotle about 2 blocks from Kinokuniya is anyone is interested.
Hahah nice!
You guys should BBQ, SoCal Style. -
Date: Wed, Nov 18 2009 09:36:42
... How are we supposed to BBQ in the middle of NYC?
-
Date: Thu, Nov 19 2009 22:51:41
Anyone going? D:
-
Date: Fri, Nov 20 2009 03:24:37
I don't even know man. Everyone's dead
-
Date: Fri, Nov 20 2009 21:56:15
I can go if it matters to anyone
-
Date: Fri, Nov 20 2009 21:57:52
I'll be going =] I don't wanna plan though =.='' I'd have to plan during finals week..and i dont' wanna do that
-
Date: Fri, Nov 20 2009 22:15:23
I'll be going then, unless everyone decides not to show up AGAIN >_>
-
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 00:17:30
No man. I'm totally coming this time. I haven't been to NY in a year, so fucking count me in for once
-
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 01:12:54
Either JC or steph can text me. Highest chances say I am coming
-
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 02:27:09
oh believe me
I'll keep you updated -
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 03:50:26
I may be able to go, the highest bet is that I will be going though
-
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 16:25:53
So what is the set date going to be?
-
Date: Sat, Nov 21 2009 23:27:10
It depends on whatever date is best for you guys. I doubt the 26th will be good because that's the day after christmas, so I was leaning on the 27th or 28th
-
Date: Sun, Nov 22 2009 02:35:44
Wait i thought we were talking about this week?
-
Date: Sun, Nov 22 2009 02:53:05
Uhmmm no. We're talking about December. During winter break..It's always been around Christmas time
-
Date: Sun, Nov 22 2009 02:58:04
Ahh i seee:) Sorry about the missunderstanding. As of right now that week is still good for me. Conntinue:pp
-
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 06:20:55

Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 06:45:52
I say the 27th :/ some people work on mondays
-
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 06:46:54
ok then the 27th it is. same time and place?
-
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 06:52:38
Looks like it if no one wants to go ice skating
-
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 07:07:25
D: I'd love to go ice skating! is the rink only open on certain days?
-
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 07:17:13

Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 07:53:17
woah woah woah $17? forget it =.= i thought it would be somewhere around $5
meh how about we go raid the M&M store near times square? -
Date: Sat, Nov 28 2009 08:27:34
.___. more like Dylan's Candy Bar
why haven't we done a gathering in times square?
edit: Ice skating wise we could also do Wollman Rink in central park. cheaper. outdoors. and lockers to put our stuff in. up to you guys though

Date: Sun, Nov 29 2009 03:12:59
would the 27th be considered a holiday date? If so, I'm not going. $9.50 is ok for me, but $12 is a big no-no. but i still think the ice skating thing wont really work =\ besides me and you, i don't think anyone else has their own pair of skates.
Dylan's Candy Bar? OH SHI- i forgot about that place. M&M world is nothing compared to that store
also, by the looks of it, it seems that we are going to be doing A LOT of walking, unless we can afford public transportation. -
Date: Sun, Nov 29 2009 03:18:38
I don't really mind the walking if it's to the candy bar
Sounds like fun -
Date: Sat, Dec 5 2009 22:50:34
Loanshark and I sent out PMs to people who have previously attended.
If anyone's curious about some of the ideas we have for the day. ice skating is out. Right now we may want to visit Times Square/Broadway. We also thought some may want to go to Dylan's Candy Bar which mainly depends on if people want to walk or not. -
Date: Sat, Dec 12 2009 05:31:12
Well, just waiting around for time to pass isn't goint to help.
So... I think that those who intend to go, regardless of date issues, should post what days they are available.
I, for one, will not be here from the 19th to the 31st, sucks donkey huevos, I know.
Hopefully we could finagle a date or something but if not, maybe theres a free date coming after the holidays that's good. -
Date: Wed, Dec 16 2009 04:19:31
Okay, so far we have. Please tell me if I forgot you. Also I'm pretty sure there's a chance for snow so be prepared
JC
Xero
Coolatta and 1 or 2 friends

Date: Sat, Dec 19 2009 22:37:01
The date is nearing.
-
Date: Sun, Dec 20 2009 10:42:04
I just sent this PM out to everyone that I know went to previous NYC gatherings and everyone on cXi's list, except for the people that I know aren't going anymore.
Spoiler:
So just as a reminder for anyone who likes in the NYC area, if you'd like to come, let me know ASAP (like, in <48 hrs) so that I can start planning what we're actually going to do.
Since this is pretty last minute, and since it's freezing out, I can't promise much... but I'll try my best to get us a warm place to stay/eat for the day. -
Date: Sun, Dec 20 2009 14:09:34
gathering take over ><
-
Date: Mon, Dec 21 2009 14:22:30QUOTE (colourfulXinsanity @ Dec 20 2009, 09:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>gathering take over ><
sorry, everything seemed very maybeish... needed some definite plans
-----------------------------------------------------
so... here are the people that confirmed with me that they were going to come to the gathering
-myself (and my brother)
-Huroni
-Skeleton (i'm assuming you're still bringing a friend)
-Xero
-Dimachka
-Coolatta (and 1 or 2 friends)
And here is the maybes (made from responses i got and from cXi's list of attendees who haven't responded back to me)
-Outlander (and a friend)
-VN
As you can probably tell, we have a fairly small group (a dozen people, or less) -- so unlike the hassle of having a large group to watch over and stuff, we can move around a bit more easily with a smaller group.
-----------------------------------------------------
Here's what me and huroni came up with...- Meet up inside Penn Station (33rd Street and 7th Avenue) at 11AM (if by 11:30, you aren't there, i will give you a call... so if i don't have your number, i suggest that you send it to me (dimachka, skeleton, skarjonic: i do not have your numbers, so send them to me if you want)
- Once we get everyone together, we'll head over to kinokuniya
-this is like a 10 minute walk from penn station
-although many of us don't probably won't even buy anything from there, we'll go just in case one of us wants to just grab a thing or two
-this is right next to bryant park, which we can stop by for a little bit if you guys want once we get there -- it's supposedly kinda pretty in the winter
-this is on the way to our next stop - After kino, we can stop by a Chipotle and grab food there, it's just right across the street and around a corner from kinokuniya
-(i figured getting food here would be better just cause it's close and cheap, as compared to our next stop) - Once we're done eating, we'll go to Rockefeller center
-rockefeller center's really nice during winter, and especially since it's right after christmas time (things shouldn't have been taken down yet)
-we can take a picture in front of the big tree at rockefeller
-we can get go inside and chill somewhere, and hang at the food courts (mini food courts really...there might be some big ones, but i only remember one sorta small one that'll probably be packed around this time of year) or just inside in some empty space ///i was thinking we eat here at first, but since the food's probably expensive, we can just eat at the chipotle's by kino
-there's lots of other stuff to do there too if we don't wanna just be sticking to pen spinning related things - after we stay in rockefeller for a bit, and walk around the outside a bit -- it'll probably be around 4-5, maybe 6PM (depending on how long we stay at chipotle's..)
-some people can choose to go home, or some people could hang out in the city a bit more -- if there's enough people willing to hang around, i was just going to probably walk around rockefeller or something and do random stuff =P
Is everyone okay with this idea? Likes? Dislikes? Changes? Let me know
Gathering's in a week, let's finalize some plans =] - Meet up inside Penn Station (33rd Street and 7th Avenue) at 11AM (if by 11:30, you aren't there, i will give you a call... so if i don't have your number, i suggest that you send it to me (dimachka, skeleton, skarjonic: i do not have your numbers, so send them to me if you want)
