DTOID NARP - MARCH - NEW YORK
atheistium | 4:04 PM on 02.21.2008 31 comments


Hey I just was organising some travel and I wanted to know what dates everyone wants to meet up while I am in NY. Okay I'll leave a little itinerary I need people to tell me what's going down.

* I fly out on the 7th and arrive at Baltimore Airport at 1600, obviously after collecting my baggage and we might/might not be travelling to NYC that day. I think we should be, so I really won't be awake on the 7th.

* The 8th is a Saturday and I believe Phist is letting us stay at his place from the 7th till the 12th but I'm not 100% sure.

* The days I can hang out, most likely, are between the 8th (Saturday) and the 11th (Tuesday) (I want the 12th as just a travel day).

* YOU WILL HAVE TO ORGANISE YOUR OWN ACCOMMODATION

* I have no idea what we are going to do. Phist says he can talk to some guy at a bar and get some of the under 21's in as the bar has a huge arcade.

* Obviously, I've never been to the capital* before so I want to go see the bums (aka worthlessted) in central park, we might possibly look for the clover field monster too.

* Bring a Destructoid related shirt if you can. It helps when we are trying to find you!

* Email me (atheistium*at*gmail.com) with your contact details (ie a cell phone number) and your dtoid username (cos I don't remember everyone's emails by heart), and leave a comment here saying "attending" if you are coming.

* After NYC I'm heading back to Puppetpallmich's place till the 23rd. I shall be on XBL, VENT & Stickam during American times. WUUHUU!!! So lets have LULZ

* Puppet lives in Mechanicsville, Virginia so if your willing to travel out I'd really love to meet up and grab some grub/play games/laugh at black people

So yeah, that's what's going on. tell me if your coming.

*[i]I call NY the capital because I don't really like your president so NY is now the new capital as it's a 'cool' and 'hip' place like London.

Also I'm a dumb dumb duh duh and actually thought NY was the capital[/i]

I go to school in Manhattan, so I will DEFINITELY be there (“attending”). Saturday is probably the only day that’d work for me, as I usually have homework to do on Sundays, but we’ll see. Central Park is awesome, I highly recommend it — if you go there from Astoria, I’ll just meet you guys in the park instead of going to Queens and then coming back into Manhattan. Are you going to do the NYC tourist thing as well? I haven’t been out to the Statue of Liberty since I was a kid, though I went to the Empire State Building last summer. Also, I have two Dtoid t-shirts, so that won’t be an issue.

I can’t wait!

I'm so attending. I'll e-mail you the stuff. I assume it's Barcade were going to?

>.<

Also, you just so happen to overlap in Mechanicsville the weekend before Spring Break for me. I may try to persuade a friend to roadtrip up with me and see you. I may have to promise him grog; the man's a boozehound.

Wait...are you stopping in Washington, D.C., on the way up here from Baltimore? Because New York’s not even the capital of New York State, let alone the nation (Albany, which is three hours north of New York City, is the state capital). It’s a common misconception; half of Americans probably even don’t know that, so don’t feel too bad if you got it wrong.

I wish I could go, but then again being a dad I probably wouldn't fit in well anyway. Also, I'm Whiteboy0869. I don't fit in anywhere. lol. Have fun though, I'll ne in NYC in April for Video Games Live. Hope to see some Destructicans there.

The whole bar-not-21-arcade place does not exist. I'm tryin to convince someone I know to let us hang out their bar, it probably won't fly. Barcade is 21+, maybe we can just play some cabinets and not drink. Also, everyone that's not 21 gets a beat down for making planning 10 times harder.

I can't go because I'm afraid Bahamut will either beat me up or sodomize me. Damn Shame, I know. I'm also really short, and I wouldn't fit in either. I need stilts or something.

However I will be most likely attending Video Games Live in april as well.

I'll visit you in VA. Mechanicsville is full of mechanics though, evil mechanics. I might be up in NYC then too.

By the way Washington DC be the capitol of the US and Albany is capitol of NY.

Hmmm... What does narp stand for?

Well, first San Francisco and now New York. These things are getting ever closer to me. Hopefully PAX will still be a go though. ^_^

Barcade in Brooklyn, nice choice guys.
I'm, also, wondering if Nintendo World is going to a special release party for Brawl on that Sunday.

@ScottyG: NARP is an acronym for “No Apparent Reason Party”, though I’m in agreement with Tino — the “fully apparent” reason in this case is Phist’s birthday!

Mechanicsville is so far. You should stop in the REAL capital and hang out with the cool kids... you have to drive by it anyway. Besides, who comes to America and skips DC in favor of Mechanicsville!? We have monuments! And a higher murder rate!

Gah, I've been wanting a NY NARP for awhile and all this time its been being planned. This one is too short notice for me. I go to school in Albany NY and I have a girlfriend in Long Island, but I can't see myself getting to the city for this one. Maybe next time.
