I'm gonna help plan the next one. Gonna make sure all ya'll motherfuckers come out, and yes....even the shy, inept ones. You're coming too. Fuck what you have to do.

For like the first time ever, I legit couldn't come up. I can't be bothered getting stupid ass hell tonight and then manage to get shit down tomorrow.

People are lame as hell.

My girl doesn't want my to go out. I got work. I have exams. I'm broke. I'm tired. I'm socially retarded. I don't feel like it. I might get murdered....

Whatever.

The regular crew is cool, but we need new faces. Get people to be less shy and actually come out. The club from a few weekends ago was pretty fun. I'm sure a lot of guys wouldn't want to do that. The thought of being around women the pressure of having to talk to them, dance with them or even try to get their numbers might be too daunting for some. I have a girlfriend anyway, though that didn't stop me from getting my groove on and do some playful, harmless flirting. Fuck it. She didn't care. She goes to clubs in Philly and I'm sure she talks to guys. No big deal. At the end of the day, I know she's only with and sleeping with one guy. And if she's lying...well shit.....Thank God most STDs aren't lethal.

Anyway, I suppose if we make it loud and clear that it's just a guys night out, no pressure, and just us having fun and being stupid, and the fact that everyone one of us is chill as hell, more people will (or rather should) come out.

Hanging out with homeless people for the next hour cause the Penn Station McDonalds couldn't put three cheeseburgers together in 10 minutes.

Have fun y'all.

That makes two of you. Wonder who else got numbers. Addik and ginger ninja bailed, Devil Trigger too. Down to 6 now including me. I think this is it because I feel pretty tired.

I just got home. Jesus, I'm tired. Gonna eat those extra tacos before I pass out.

Edit: I'll make sure to leave my bag at home next time.

Eating my enchilada at home now. I almost missed my stop for dozing off. I woke up one stop before mines. I also almost had an accident on myself but the crisis was averted. Freakin sleepy. As soon as I eat this, I'm gonna floss, brush the teeth, and hit the hay.

Will discuss next meet up plans after I wake up but suffice to say, there's been a change of plans in that Mahonay's volunteering to host it and it will be on a Saturday. That is all. My stomach is upset so I hope this food doesn't do me bad.

Work fucked me over. I waited until the very last minute before I confirm. I checked how much work I had, and I still get fucked over by this client. What pissed me off the most is that this doesn't happen often. When it does, I don't complain too much, but it just had to happen on the day I want to go somewhere. I work in Jamaica near JFK so even when I'm done, it'll take me almost 1h30m to actually get there. I like coming to Manhattan though, so I don't mind. Just that once I get fucked over, I'll be late as hell and I have to work Saturday. Maybe the next one could be on a Saturday.

Okay, but for my return in December we are having dinner and going to Valhalla.

Fuck my life, I am so hungover today.

So awesome how we randomly found tacos at the end of the night. They were my life.

Also hilarious shift change after we left a dance party type bar, to one that decided to start exclusively playing sad white dude country music.


Had a great night. Very glad I was able to escape from work and come out.

Man your not the only one, I couldn't even get to sleep hen I got in. My head was spinning everytime I closed my eyes and then I woke up groggy as fuck. But it was fun, glad I could come out and chill for a bit.

I was earning Trophies, so I have a good excuse!
When aren't you hunting for trophies:p

Can't believe you guys got tacos. On my way home last night stopped at white castle though. Not better then tacos though.

Lol at Mahonay and The Last Wizard suffering hangovers. I woke up dandy as roses, but then again I only had two drinks throughout the night before I put a cap on it.

I would write up a more detailed post but my bro's hogging the laptop (typing from my phone) so I'll keep it short.

Thanks again to everyone that came out even if we went to some familiar (read: tired) places. It was great seeing you all. I suppose those of you that didn't go didn't miss much. The bar with the country music was a funny way to end the night as well as eating tacos. I left "NeoGAF was here. 5/18/13. Believe Bitches" and that I was there in a spot of the grafitti bathroom. I tried getting new people to come but maybe next time. Take care of yourselves folks. Addik, if we don't see you next month, then I wanted to say in advance that I wish you the best with your future endeavors. Going back to one's native country and readjusting to life must not be easy.

Looking ahead to the next meet up, it's in Mahonay's hands now. He says he'll show us a bunch of new places so I trust him. Given that the next meet up is going to be during the summer, I think hitting up rooftop bars are our best bet. Also, a Barcade in Manhattan (Chelsea) should be opening some time next month or in July. I'll keep my eyes on the lookout for the exact opening date.

I wouldn't mind having a small get together some time next month post-E3 to talk crap about the press conferences, announcements, and what have you. That will most likely be done via PM because I don't think small get togethers/ hangouts warrant indivual threads. For now, that's an idea. If anyone's interested, feel free to say so.

Please try not to get yourselves banned for all of our sakes. If I've never gotten banned then you guys should follow suit. So stay out of trouble folks.

Most of you know which threads to find me at (Art thread, XBLA thread, Dating Age thread and several threads throughout gaming or OT).

With that being said, feel free to freely discuss any other ideas, a dates for the next big meet up, concerns, comments, etc. until the thread dies out.
 
if it's strictly bar hopping/club next time too then i don't think i am coming guys..i realized that going to bar's is just not my thing, i get bored quickly. So no use keep trying again and again..

if we actually get to sit down somewhere to have nice chats or chill..pm me, i will definitely show up. Emily had this idea about just chilling in central park and have pizza, i know that sounds boring but he made it sound awesome, so maybe e we can look more into that.

P.S if i knew you guys were going to go to a different kind of bar and tacos afterwards, i probably would have stayed..Also, old lace was wasted as fuck

Hmm....

Need to see the movie times

It will be like 11-12AM till 7-8PM, trust me, long haul, but so much fun watch 4 movies

Hell if you saved your 3D glasses and didn't "recycle" them, we can bring our pairs and go watch 3D versions, HAHA!

I'll be honest with you, I was pretty bored myself by the time we reached the third bar hence why I started drawing. I also tend to day dream when I'm bored. Moreso because of the fact that we went back to places that we've been to which is cool, but it gets old after having gone to the same place 5 times in a row. It was also because I was tired as well. I'm personally not a huge fan of loud bars with a night club-like atmosphere.

Fat Cat was a nice change of setting. I can easily see myself heading back to that place on a date in the future since there's a lot of different games to play and I like the atmosphere in general. In your case, I would chalk it up to the fact that you're still not used to the environment (each bar is different though).

So I don't think that bars should be prohibited flat out, but I do agree with the idea of doing something that doesn't involve bar hopping once in a while. If anything, that can always be done with the crowd that wants to do it after the initial main event (myself included since I'm not going to stop going to bars any time soon).

We tried to have a park meet up last year but things didn't work out as planned and there's too much logistics involved when it comes to that. However, we ate at a Korean BBQ restaurant instead which was pretty damn fun. But it's definitely doable if it's properly coordinated. One idea that Mahonay tossed around was maybe having some kind of a beach party (which would be funny).

where are all the pics Jipan?
I took very few pictures this time around. It was a conscious decision. I only took 3 pictures; one outside of the fat cat; one of the stage area where the band was playing at; and one of an empty pool table. No GAF members were in any of them. I can post them if you want me to but again, it's nothing note worthy.

I noticed that the idea of publicly posting pictures on a forum that gets over a million views doesn't gel too well with certain members which I respect, so I decided not to document it. I alluded to this in the OP.

Lol, not everyone knows how to drive a car (I don't) but we can definitely get that ambitious. It'll simply need to involve a tightly knit structure of coordination and communication. I'm sure Mahonay's furiously taking notes. I would think that beaches in Jersey aren't as heavily frequented as the ones in NY.

In fact, I can already picture PXG coming out with a bright yellow inner tube that looks like a duck, a tank top, and swimming trunks yelling "SUP BITCHES?"

I suppose another idea would be to meet up at the Port Authority on 42nd st early, spend most of the day at Six Flags, and follow it up with rooftop bar hopping.
