I met up with Dtoiders in NYC! For Blip! It was AMAZING!
Brilliam | 3:15 PM on 12.10.2008 13 comments




This post is incredibly late due to the fact that I was busy catching up with real life (since I didn't really get online, since I was in NYC for five days...). But... wow, I love Dtoiders. I love NYC. I love Blip. (To read more about my whole adventure, I did some fake-twitter-style posts on my blog, here and here.)

Sadly I didn't pack a digital camera (only my artsy-fartsy film camera, with which I didn't catpure any humans' souls while there). Regardless, I hope you'll let me gush a bit, website!

Zen Albatross, we could NOT have asked for a better host. It was totally awesome crashing at your place, you were really flexible and awesome to us, and even took in that poor homeless Al kid! You, sir, ARE A HERO!

Cataract, I'm glad you were a part of our weekend entourage! I'm sad to hear that your 'fro is gone, but glad you joined me in the drinking of 25 cent deathjuices!

Anonymous Noob, I am also glad you chilled with us all weekend! When you got on the F train and everyone freaked out... that shit was so classic. SO CLASSIC.

Samit, Glad you made it out a couple nights! I was worried that we were gonna miss each other all weekend, but it came through... sorry for texting you about how MTL was beating NYR, haha!

Tiff, Thanks so much for coming out to the museum with us! I wish we'd had a couple more chances to chill out-- I guess it's all the more reason for you to make it up to MTL sometime!

ScottyG, Was really happy to see another Canadian down there! I'm gonna tell my buddy Angus in Fredricton to get in touch w/ you, do you play fighting games? He needs to keep sharp, so I don't school him to hard when he comes back for Xmas...

Superflossy, make sure you go to that Brooklyn Museum exhibition before it disappears! It was fantastic! Also, it was AWESOME when you pulled Egg up on stage... :D

Phist, you are a totally awesome dude and made me feel like a champ because you laughed at all of my jokes! Even the only-mildly-funny ones!!!

RiserGlen, you still confuse the shit outta me with your real name not being Glen! Keep reppin' Ventrilo, I'll be back soon!

The Incredible Edible Egg, you had some wicked moves with those incredible LED-able eggs (see what I did there?)! Glad you got a moment on stage too, CLASSIC!

Tino, dude! I made a bit of a knob of myself when we spoke on Sat, but I blame OSAMA BIN LADEN (because I can). I wish we got more of a chance to chat!

Ascythopicism, let me know if you ever want to know more about that stuff we were talking about before! VAGUENESS!

Galagabug, Were you with us at any point? You shoulda been! Thanks for the hostel tip (although I ended up staying @ another one)!


Infinite Obscurity, PetiePal, casualweaponry, Nintendoll, Black Yoshi, Buster Slash, Bahamut Zero, Powerglove, and Pedro -- I wish we'd had more of a chance to chat, sadly I was to usy getting mashed (YOUR AMERICAN DALE'S PALE ALE PLEASES ME) + getting down (AS DOES YOUR AMERICAN SONGS). Especially you, Black Yoshi, you seemed to be the popular kid.


AND ALL OF YOU ADD ME ON XBOX LIVE -- IT'S BRILLIAM. LETS PLAY A GAME SOMETIME.

power-glove's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, sorry we did not chat more. But, as with all massive Dtoid meetups, you don't usually spend enough time with everyone. It was good meeting you though.
Cataract's Destructoid Blog
It was so awesome getting to hang out with you and everyone else that weekend! Hopefully before PAX I want to make my way up north into the frozen tundra and visit the fabled Canadia.

Hey! It was great meeting you and your friend. No worries about not getting a chance to chat with everyone; there was over 20 of us! Getting on the subway was crazy.

Come back soon, and bring some universal health care with you please. And Jones candy :)

DUDE

So I just found that Canadian cartoon that was featured on Cartoon Network's "O Canada" block back around 1999. The one I was talking about with the "teleporter" that actually was just a long range cloning device.

Man Canada is so awesome!
