Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Im sort of new around here but Im in the area and would like to get down. Might have somethings to trade but I thought some social interaction with like minded people would be fun as well. Is there an official date set yet?
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? You better show up on time! And SHred, it doesn't matter how new you are around here. The more, the merrier! Is anyone not able to go next weekend? And we would probably need some kind of park or another open/public space for the tradefest, unless someone wants to open their home to a bunch of toy nerds Maybe hit up a bar afterwards? I haven't been to philly in years so I don't know a lot
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Next week is rough for me, just because its so soon, my plans are already set. What if we make it for sometime in August or even Early September? We can plan it a little better, people have enough of a heads up to clear the date on the schedule? If it's gonna be in Philadelphia we should hammer out where its going to be first- I agree about the open place maybe. I live in a small apartment, otherwise I'd host it at my place. But maybe we could meetup over in the courtyard by where Jinxed is- (Scarwars, does that place have a name?) Or over by Penns Landing somewhere- I'm thinking nice open places with decent parking. For open dates for me I could do the weekend of July 30th if we all wanted, and then the Weekends of August 6, August 20 I believe I will be free, or sometime in September.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? I'm not going to be around in mid-august, but early/late august or early september works for me
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? I vote for a day in early September- that way we can all coordinate for it the best we can. Maybe we can whip up some goodies for the meeting.. who knows! But we haven't heard from too many others- everybody chime in! Phil
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Im down for whenever but I agree late august or early september will be better for planning purposes.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? late summer works better for me, as my next couple of weekends are already spoken for. for a date further out, i can at least try to plan around it. i'd be bringing mostly super7/gargamel/bwana/le merde, but am looking to branch out a bit to some 'truer' kaiju...
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Ok, early September it is then! Is September 3rd (labor day weekend) ok or will people most likely have other plans?
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? I'm right by New Brunswick in central NJ. I work in Manhattan, and spend most weekends in Philly, so I'm rarely here.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? im out for the third, Incubus at jones beach. literally bought my tickets 3 days ago
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Ok maybe 2nd weekend of September seems to be the best time so IamMordecai and I can make it, that is if you want to go for sure, IamMordecai . I couldnt make it labor day weekend anyway, Ill be down Ocean City that weekend. Is philly our destination? The most important part of the trip is agreeing on the city were gona meet in first and foremost. Then date and time. Theres plenty of time between now and then to figure this out, I still say lets get it set it stone asap, that way its over and done with and we can all mark it on our calendars.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? I think Philly is best since it's in between MD and NY. I don't know that much about the city and haven't been there in years though, so hopefully someone local to the area can suggest a more specific location in the city to meet. Anyone opposed to September 10th?
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? I'm in Michigan and looking for a reason to go to Pittsburgh soon to visit my bestie who wrangled a position as a photo professor at the Art Institute there.... Philly is close to Pitts right? I'm just going to feel kind of lame bringing a B club Kanegon to the party when everyone else has muscle.... How do these things work anyways...?
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Saw my name mentioned, thanks. Don't plan around my schedule, those first two September weekends aren't good for me, but I will most likely be in Charm City on the 18th if something is going on. However, I have now seen all of The Wire, so I will only show up if the following conditions exist: - No drugs. - No guns. - No kaiju wearing pants.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Sort of, if four hours away can be considered close. It's an easy drive anyhow, and scenic.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Don't worry, I don't have drugs or guns or kaiju wearing pants, but I may be wearing pants made out of kaiju p.s. whenever I see your username I think of Roger from Mad Men. Same with Jay and Modern Family
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? definitely dont base anything me guys... just saying i was out. im always up for anything. I have off saturdays. so if I have the time to take off I will.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? This sounz like a plan... September 10th works perfect. Please chime in if your down to go. I say philly, we can all meet at Pat's and get a philly cheese steak sub, those subs are like heaven on earth.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Im in... its a shame there isnt a single toy store in philly... Jinxed doesnt count.(sucks ass.)
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Jinxed is 1/2 art gallery, 1/4 toys, 1/4 shirts. better than anything by me though.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? Much better than anything in Baltimore as well.. We have a store here called Atomic Books which is 99.9% western vinyl, the only reason I ever set foot in that store was to get crap for my kid when he was into Mongers.
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? They do have a sweet book selection and have loads of comic books (though I don't read any)
Re: Mid-East Coast Meetup? That they do, and they do good business, just not my scene. My kid would spend hours in there if I let him. I would just read the tattoo mags while he picked out his toys.
