I am so alt rock I'm borderline goth. I don't even know what new current music even is at this point.

Let's just say I was not a happy camper this morning. I was 30 minutes late to work, even though I left early.
Man looking at my playlist almost none of it is current.

I forgot about a tribe called quest, though I only know about them because there was a neogaf thread about them.....I'll just lay down in my coffin.

I have a ton of Tribe Called Quest in my Ipod, rarely ever in the mood to listen to it though. I'm not a rap person for the most part. I listen to Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine and stuff like that. Meanwhile I've "heard" of some of the other artists there's no way I'm shelling out money to see Frank Ocean a group or person I've never heard a song of a day in my life.
Hope they do The Meadows again despite how messy it was last year.This was post was overlooked. What's the most you're willing to pay for a cover charge? There's clubs that range from $5-$100+ with dress codes varying from jeans and shoes to business casual. Then there's drinks and it starts adding up quickly. Since you guys are young, I'm assuming you guys want to keep it cheap. There was a place that I went to with a bunch of GAF members two years ago along the border of the Chinatown/the Lower East Side. I forgot the name of it. If number47 is lurking, I'm sure he remembers the name of the place.
I recommend The Delancey, M1-5, and TBA Brooklyn. Didn't have to pay cover for any of them.
There's Output too if you wanna pay $$$ but cover it $15 if you pay online in advance (otherwise usually $30 at the door). It's not top 40 though but plenty of 20somethings and really good music.
What time? I assume we'd all have to line up at like 6 am or something.

Looks like you're right about that time, I'm a pretty early bird so I'd be willing to wait that early but I've also never done this sort of thing before. ._.
It's looking like if you want to go you should show up at around 6:30 since they won't allow a line until 7. That way you can be in the area when the line forms.
Nice, I'll check it out assuming the weather isn't awful.
I think it's a hands on thing.
Just so folks know it's not at the Nintendo World Store, it's at a hotel on Avenue of the Americas and like 30th

I do not touch Central Park at night...especially if my camera is on me.

I had no idea you were in NYC. I guess after seeing you in ToonamiGaf I completely forgot you were here. Where you situated?
Queens, in Jamaica specifically. Dude, we hung out at the summer meetup!
It's the middle of the work week so of course enjoying it in a lovely office....

I didn't go to the summer meet up. I think I was just being depressed and anti social when that thing was going on. Only person that I've met on here has been David.
Ahh, shit. Probably thinking of someone else then.
That sucks. Should go to the next one, whenever that is.

You could always just hit me up randomly. I work in the city.
Same, but only until the end of the month. After that I'm only coming in for classes. So if you want to chill I'm good. Couple other guys work around here too.
My nuts were frozen solid on Sunday.

Ok, let me know. What school?
Classes are around Midtown (as is my current job), taking a GRE prep class with NYU and a couple others for fun.

Wait, there's a Switch event tomorrow too?

If it's to a place where I don't have to take 4 subway trains to get there I might actually go.
