    Yeah guys and gals from NYC. Gathering soon maybe? Im up for it...depends on date though...we could meet brooklyn, or some specific places in manhattan. Some places I was thinking about....

    Prospect Park (Brooklyn)
    Bryant Park (manhattan)
    Outside of Madison Square Garden ( Manhattan)


    Any others

    POST HERE PEOPLES!

    Oh yeah, has to be in the summer..


    FOr the day exacty...we will get into specifics on this thread. 30 numbers are too much for a poll with 3 categories..

    yeah, this one person that i know is thinking about coming to ny in the summer as well
    but we can still have a gathering between teh people that are living in ny currently, but it won't be as big as we could possibly make it
    but if you want, we can still hvae a mini-gathering i guess

    mhmm...as for teh place though, i think we should meet a sorta mall-like area so that we can use the food court there and have tables to spin at (sorta like what kam, tek, teq, and m3x did)
    i live near roosevelt or we could do flushing mall, or um...some mall near manhatten =\??
    but then again, somwhere in teh city is probably better rather than near long island since that's probably more convienent for most spinners
    and xero can drive me there happy.gif
    yeahh...i don't really know the city too well since the only place i really go to in the city is flushing--since i'm asian and all xDD

    and as for teh time, april break?? do you guys have one in april =\? and i gotta check when my april break is.....
    but we should probably have one in april--and perhaps anther one in july for all the spinners who are coming here during the summer

    I have no april break..no more days off for me, until the end of the year dry.gif


    Mall in manhattan...sure...there are loads...uh just tell me which..I cant go flushing...my mom wants me to stay around my house, so I can take train quickly..so yeah.

    I would seriously love to go.
    I think that Manhattan would make the most sense.
    No matter where in NYS you live, you've undoubtedy been there.

    As for the actual place we'd visit, how about Manhatten Mall located at 6th Avenue & 33rd Street?
    It's a huge, well known building, and I'm sure easily accessible.
    We could meet either in front of the building or in front of a specific store within the building.
    New Yorkers, gimme some feedback. tongue.gif

    i think that this is the best idea cuase i think that a mall would be the best place to meet overall...dunno why, just feel that way happy.gif
    i've never heard of it before..>.>, but w/e
    xero, you gonna drive, right?? xDD

    The funny thing is I may be coming to NYC this summer for one of the last games in the Old Yankee Stadium.

    Date: Sat, Apr 5 2008 02:18:28

    I'm going to muich/paris right after school ends for me, but sometime in the summer I'd def love to get a gathering going sometime around then. I live in North Jersey and its easy for me to get into the city. happy.gif

    Toronto and surrounding area is not too far from NY state either, if you're looking for more people.

  11. -JC-
    Date: Sat, Apr 5 2008 05:01:20

    well, torontos a good 8 hrs or so away----soo unless, somebody wants to drive or take a train taht farr..i guess, sure =\
    but it'd be great if the people in teh surrounding states came happy.gif
    more people = better ^^

  12. Dynamik
    Date: Sat, Apr 5 2008 19:27:42

    so if the gathering is at manhatten mall i can probably go. we need a date set up though.

  13. -JC-
    Date: Sun, Apr 6 2008 19:14:18

    well, my april break runs from april 19th to april 27th
    school in general for me doesn't end until june 26th--but even during teh summer, i can only do this during weekends cause during weekdays, i have to go to a lab and do research from 9 am to 5 pm =\

    but we can always do weekends in between as well

    sooo...anybody up for sometime between the 19th and the 27th
    for everybody who's coming to NY for vacation, the people in NY can meet up with you whenever you're here: it's just that if it's a weekday, i cant' come but if it's a weekend, i probably can

    so we can probably do one gathering for all the people in NY sometime between the 19th and 27th, granted that we all have april break during that time (but i doubt it, so hopefully, our april breaks will overlap on some days?? ) and then mini gatherings later on

  14. Dynamik
    Date: Sun, Apr 6 2008 23:34:21

    ive never heard of an april break. i cant go unless in summer

  15. nolan
    Date: Sun, Apr 6 2008 23:36:40

    I could try to talk my mom into taking me up to NY for the weekend or something. I cant go in June or July though, since i have camps and school.

    August or like, the last week of July is good.

  16. -JC-
    Date: Sun, Apr 6 2008 23:56:28

    so i guess we'll have one during one of the weekends in april =\??
    and then another one in august??

    or one big one in august...


    the latter might be able to encompass everyone, if not almost everyone, but it's gonna still be a couple months from now and i might forget ^^'''s

    0.0...you've been deprivedd
    jkjk, that time probably got made up somewhere else for us, so it's probably the same amoutn of break days for everyone--just different dates for each break

  17. -JC-
    Date: Thu, Apr 10 2008 03:16:38

    so, can we propose some possible dates??
    for the one that is for the people currently already living in NY or near NY...how about 4/19 or 4/26 (they're both saturdays)
    and then for the people who are visiting....there's still some time, so we can still wait coming up with a date for those gatherings.. (probably wont' be as big as the hopefully 4/19 or 4/26 gathering though =\ )

  18. Xero
    Date: Thu, Apr 10 2008 03:53:50

    HOW ABOUT JULY 12th?

  19. -JC-
    Date: Thu, Apr 10 2008 04:24:29

    perhaps july 19th? gives a higher possiblilty of having nolan come too ^^??

  20. nolan
    Date: Fri, Apr 11 2008 19:54:06

    yea! july 19th sounds good.

  21. Outlander
    Date: Fri, Apr 11 2008 21:45:03

  22. -JC-
    Date: Fri, Apr 11 2008 23:14:19

    if i had money i would go on an airplane to it^^

    Date: Mon, Apr 14 2008 16:06:08

    lol. still no july in the poll. tongue.gif

  31. Tialys
    Date: Mon, Apr 14 2008 19:26:45

    I didn't mean NYC, I meant near the Buffalo area. It would be about 3.5 hours from NYC and 3.5 hours from TO.

  32. Eso
    Date: Mon, Apr 14 2008 19:40:05

    For like 5 minutes, I was seriously considering going to this... But I would have to get a place to stay and plane tickets would cost a lot. So, no. Have fun.

  33. Xero
    Date: Mon, Apr 14 2008 22:06:07

    Lol. I was considering possibly getting a national convention into play.
    That'd be sick.

  34. -JC-
    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 04:24:34

    =\ national conventions would be tough seeing as how many penspinners are in their teens, so both financially and with their school schedules/summer plans, it's gonna be really difficult to do -____-'''''
    even though that'd be a really cool idea ^^"''

    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 04:35:29

    i might be able to come sometime in june because i have a job set up for the summer. So after the school year is no good for me. otherwise there really is no chance.

    well technically i could come to the city on a day off, but its kinda tricky to do, i have to leave at night after my work is done and be at the camp by breakfast for the day i resume work. its hard to do because of the train and i don't have a car.

  36. Outlander
    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 13:14:46

    I think that as long as its on a weekend I can make it. I'll be taking summer courses at a local university during the week in june.

    July is not looking good for me, because I'll be interning in Boston sad.gif

  37. nolan
    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 16:42:29

    my mom said she's pretty sure that this is the day after i get back from camp, so i'll prolly be able to go,

    and still no option for july 19th.

  38. Zombo
    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 16:56:17

    i see june, august and july in the poll

    what are you guys talking abotu

  39. Penwish
    Date: Wed, Apr 16 2008 17:00:11

    I may have a couple business trips to NYC over the summer and we may be taking a road trip 4th of July around there .

  42. Dynamik
    Date: Tue, Apr 22 2008 01:30:04

    if its in august i may not be able to go because of football.
    i thought we said july 19 was good.

  43. -JC-
    Date: Tue, Apr 22 2008 01:33:57

    so either august 2nd, 3rd, 9th, or 10th.... =\
    i think i'd prefer saturdays over sundays...but i dunno, what about you guys (i can still probably make it if a sunday though, i'm just saying that saturdays seems more fitting..sorta?)

  44. -JC-
    Date: Fri, May 2 2008 05:12:42

    um...so is this thing ever gonna happen ohmy.gif
    we still need to decide on a day for this thing -__-''
