Your sure do like the east side...
East Coast, Best Coast!
Don't know if I'll go on the 13th, $1 beers sound tempting. I've got class on the next day but they're afternoon so I might come.
For everyone who wants to come out and is under 21, note that I've never been to these places yet so I can't tell you if you'll get in or not. Unless you have some plan, YMMV. Not intentionally trying to leave you guys dry, we've been trying to get together for the Gaf Bar for the longest time.
Gaf Bar is going to be on the west side for the 18th, I'm just making it fair! Also, I have class the next morning. I don't care if I come in to class shit faced.

Another edit of the header, because I love my city:
Love it.
And not because I helped come up with the tagline.
Atta boy. If I can go, I'm gonna be so excited.
You sir are extremely nuts and you have a lot of guts to do that. Major props to you. I don't know how you're going to pull that off but you have my utmost respect.
It'd be cool to have another Dominican GAF brother along for the ride, so come out if you can.
That's fantastic. East Coast is the best coast especially because we don't have to drive (Take that! L.A. GAF).Another edit of the header, because I love my city:

Wow. I live right around the block from there. Maybe ill stop by for a drink. To anyone that has done this before, is it awkward meeting up with people from the internet?

It's awkward when you see everyone wearing the exact same Tron outfit as yourself.
For the last time, it's not awkward at all. That's just anticipatory fear that's kicking in. You're probably picturing it going something like this:
GAF 1:Sup
GAF 2: Sup.
GAF 1: Are you a *looks around and whispers* Gaffer?
GAF 2: Yeah.
GAF 1: Cool story bro.
*awkward silence*
GAF 1: Well I better get going. It was nice meeting you. *sigh of relief*
It's not going to go nothing like that. If you've met women from dating websites, or made new friends at social events, then it's going to be easy. We all post in GAF, big deal. When I met several GAF people in person 2 years ago, we had the most natural conversation ever so it's not going to be awkward.
i don't see why not - the more the merrier
nah, it's not awkward at all. everyone's drunk and having a good time
Yup, it's going to be awkward..
were you at the last one? it was fun. i mean we're mostly 20something dudes who live in/around nyc and who share similar interests. we're gonna get along for the most part.
just keep your negativity to yourself then. at this point,why do a live stream. it will be better for everyone to come for the first hand experience,instead of playing it safe from the comfort of their own home.

I hope I don't get too drunk. I'm probably gonna take the bus.
If I ask you if you want to see my rug, just tell me "No means no Sean."

I take it you're not from New York and are visiting from another country? That being said assuming you're going to Monday's meet up, Google tells me that you're near the 6 train, so take the 6 train Uptown and get off 34th street. Walk down to 3rd avenue, cross the street, then there should be a restaurant with a yellow awning that says "something Burger." We're going to be there for a little bit, then at the 3rd & Long Bar at 35th street around 9 pm (1900 in Europe time).
Conversely, if you don't want to take the subway because you don't want to spend money or want to see what kind of places are on 3rd avenue, walk north to 34th street (since the hotel is on 3rd avenue any way), then see the previous directions. I think it should be pretty straight forward. If you feel like you're getting lost, ask for directions.

How many people are going to the Monday meet-up?
I am
I'm going to do a quick count when it comes closer to Monday but I can say definitely lots! And of course, bring your friends! Tell them to register too so they'll finally get accepted in a year.
Also, I have terrible news. I just called Third & Long and they no longer do $1 beers on Monday. They do, however, do $2 domestic beers and buy one get one free glasses of wine. Sorry to cut your drinks in half guys.
Come if you can make it. I told Jasonng here that you might be interested in going and to contact you. I will definitely be there; it's been a while since I've seen you in person, so it might as well be over drinks. If not, then try to make to the Saturday meet up if you're not too busy.
EDIT: Aww man, I was looking forward to the dollar beers.

Yeah buddy. 2 dollar beers is still good.
You can get to that place by 4 5 6 and 7 train. If you come from the west side, ride it to time square station and take the shuttle to Grand Central.

$2 beers are still a good deal, hopefully they aren't cheap beer.

I would be such a buzz kill
Don't drink, so I'll be ordering virgin Pina Coladas with extra pineapples + umbrellas or Coke (the soda, not the drug... hey I don't how recreational GAF might get)
I can be a good linebacker and mow down fools with my mass & girth to all of you that get tipsy and need me to protect you from yourself =D

Any GAFfers who want to attend are welcome. 9:30-3AM at Phoenix, 447 E. 13th St. Thanks to our excellent system of public transit, those who want to attend both events can get from Gaf West to Phoenix (or vice versa) in about half an hour.
