NY NARP Carnage Report
Zen Albatross | 12:25 PM on 08.17.2008 30 comments


The NYC/Long Island NARP is winding down as I type this. Lots of beer, vidja games and epic shenanigans were had. We also re-named my basement 'Guantanimo Basement' due to highly "friendly" sleeping arrangements. Take a look at what you missed:




Tino, Devon Riley, casualweaponry, MechaMonkey, Cataract, Infinite Obscurity


RAWK BAYUND: Infinite Obscurity, Samit, Nintendoll, Superflossy


Nintendoll: "THESE ARE MY GLASSES"




Phist could not come :(

...but we still got his Rock Band drums thanks to Samit's last minute trip to Astoria


Nindrunkdoll takes six-strings



Remember to look out for the next Dtoid NY event - A chiptunes concert for all you folks who can't go to PAX! Details to follow shortly.

Just got back. I'm going to be recovering for the next few days.

Thanks for hosting, Zen!

MechaMonkey is the most down-ass brotha I know.

Fear the Katamari hug. Seriously, get the fuck out the way of that thing. Drunk bastards will trash your shit while humming that catchy-ass song.

Zen is the most gracious host ever. Thanks again.

The first thing I saw was the Katamari Hug. That was my introduction to the weekend's craziness.

Katamari hugs are amazing, and you know it. Casual, can you upload the photos you took?

I just got home. I'm going to go collapse.

I have to upload the photo of everyone crowding to sleep in the basement. Unfortuntely I have a total of maybe three photos because my camera eats batteries like a mofo.

Apparently I threw up a little on my shoe, but there was no evidence of it when I put them on this morning. No harm, no foul.

Thank you again Zen, for opening your home to us, to Samit for driving me to the train station, and to all my fellow NARPers for a helluva good time.

I wish I'd gotten here sooner, so I could have followed Ron's comment with "Phist fuck."

And I'm glad there was another person with a vagina there. I was worried that Nintendoll was going to be drowning in a sea of testosterone and/or man-juices other than testosterone.

Also, will someone let me live with them up there or something? I feel so far away. From your love. Ooh whoa, ooh whoa. *shrug*

Well, I'm finally back from an amazing weekend, plus an extra Weedeater concert that only I went to. Anyways, thanks for hosting an awesome party, I had a great time. We should definitely do this again in the future.

Sorry, I'm a little late to comment but I want to thank you for hosting the festivities this weekend. I had an amazing time and I thank all who attended.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this but naturally, inviting swarms of people I don't know to my house originally made me convinced that at least ONE of you would be lame.

Imagine my contentment upon discovering that this apprehension was unjustified! I can honestly say with the greatest of sincerity that every single one of you were a huge asset to the NARP's success, and that it was truly a pleasure to have you all hanging out at my place.

tl;dr - You are all awesome. Many thanks for coming and much luffs
