Hey guys!
I am back in the States again for a few weeks and figured that a TL meetup would be nice since I missed the NYC Lan.
When: Wednesday, Sept 1st at 8pm. Where: Dave and Busters in Times Square. (234 West 42nd St. Tel: 646-495-2015) Who: Anyone and everyone in the NJ/NY area!
We picked this venue so that you underage babies can join in the festivities while us old fogies can drink away our sorrows.
However, if you are under 21, you need to be present with a "guardian" (someone 25 years of age or older.) There can be 5 minors for every guardian.(They will check at the door so if you are under 21, you will need to find a 25 or older person to bring you in. Please don't ask me to do it.)
It'll be a nice meet and greet and hang out time. Prices are a bit on the steep side, but you don't technically have to eat/drink anything so even if you're poor or just cheap, come anyways and say hi!
Hotbid and I will have our Team Liquid shirts on for maximum nerdage. I expect the same from the rest of you :D
Please post in the thread if you're planning to come so that if you ARE under 21, someone can take you under their wing.
IF SOMEONE IS BEING NICE ENOUGH TO CLAIM YOU AS THEIR "UNDER 21" PLEASE DON'T BE AN ASS AND DRINK ILLEGALLY.
See you guys there!

damn how many meet ups nyc going to have?
going!
|
OMG, this seems like an awesome event! I might be up for this.... except it's a Wednesday night (hence school night) and according to my newly formed fall semester schedule where my self identity is destroyed 7 days a week, on Wednesday night, I have a weekly meeting for my important group that's from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.... maybe if I can somehow get an excuse for it, I could come but tentative for me....
Nice of you to do this though! Sounds fun! ^_^
|
oooo interesting...
oh wait its a wednesday? -_-
|

Yarr it's a wednesday because
1) Half price games on wednesday! 2) Too busy / too many people on weekends hence, we can't really mingle among ourselves. 3) Don't want to get too drunk and have to clean up after people and by making it a weekday I can most likely prevent that. 4) They only open until 1am anyways. 5) I can't make any weekends

If over 21 then that's no problem, you just can't be a guardian for someone.

Terrible ass American laws.

i'm in the area, and i'd love to come for a meetup, but isn't D&B pretty expensive? i feel like that whole times square district is sort of a no-fly zone for students or student-type budgets.
if i could put in a vote, it would be for fat cat - a pool hall in the west village with cheap beer and live music

i forgot to mention that fat cat is 18+, they give you a wristband at the door if you want to drink. it just came to mind because it was one of our favorite places to go if we were going to be out with people who weren't 21 (aka didn't have fake ids) or didn't want to drink

But what are people who are 1. not good at pool 2. not drinking going to want to do?
D&B... Food and alcohol is pretty steep from what I recall. Pretty much the amount you'd expect to pay at a restaurant for a meal + brews (like ~30 dollars with tip?). Where the majority of your spending will come is from the games and etc., unless you're like me and you will be drinking all day. IIRC there are billiards tables there though so I will be more than down to play with you. I'm rusty but I still got some skill (:
Also, to everyone who is worried about prices... There will be a TL meet-up only a few days prior to that... Not everything has to follow student budgets. Don't be selfish, not everyone is a broke-ass college student or a student at all for that matter!

D&B - nothing is required to be ate or drank though with no cover. I just wanted a place where things aren't too awkward for people - tons of "ice breaker" things to do.
@Murderotica: You have to be 25 to let an under 21 person in.

K, this is next Wednesday. Bumping it so more people can see and attend.
|
I'll bump as well to support this meetup with lilsusie!!
Though I'd have to ask, I have a mandatory meeting I have to attend in school starting at 7 which will go on till like 9ish. Then a subway ride to like 1 hourish. How long are you guys planning to stick around to have fun? I would want to come but I might be super super late...
|
I figure I'm up for this as well, no reason not to attend this Meetup. :D
|
i'll be there! do we just meet in front at 8?
|
Dammit. Wish I could go
|
United States24698 Posts
5% chance I will be there.
|
What are the prices like at D&B?
I would be up for playing some pool as long as it isn't too expensive. I am currently unemployed and broke x_x
|
Work ends at 5 for me, and ill literally be right there. Thinking about seeing a movie before...
D+B can be cheap or expensive dpending on what you wanna do. If you just hangout, grab a bite and a few beers, cant se it going over 20 bucks. If you go hog wild with games and beer, you could be splurgin over 100
|
could probably have made a trip if it was a weekend
|
I'm 15 and 100% coming. I live literally two blocks away. LITERALLY
|
Bump. Need a 25+ to "sponsor" me into D&B on Wednesday.
Guarantee I won't drink/go crazy, I'm 15 + not that kind of person.

Pokebunny, I'll be your mom - err, sponsor. But NO DRINKING WHAT SO EVER, YOUNG MAN!
I think I'll get a table and say it's for Team Liquid so if you feel lost, you can ask where the Team Liquid table is. muhahaha. I'll let a waitress know. Also, I doubt it'll be too busy on a Weds evening.
If you're coming really late, call someone first to see if we're all still around, I don't want anyone to come and no one be there.
|
Oh I am most definitely coming! I gotta thank you for the sweet Oz uniforms in person!
|
Count me in -- also, I'm above 25.
|
I'm 21 Sep 10th HOWEVER, I will not drink there.. I will show up bombed already.
|
Vatican City State2594 Posts
Lol Susie says "don't ask for me to sponsor you" then sponsors Pokefag... T-T; OH CRUEL LIFE.
|
Above 21 (but below 25) here, I'm in the area. I'll be going.
|
I can't decide: TL shirt for TL reppin', or red SKT shirt for lilsusie appreciation?

If you had to trust someone under 21 to not do anything retarded and who you'd want to be there, who would it be?
|
Barring any nonsense, I'm definitely coming. Hopefully it'll be so fun I forget all about how fun the last LAN was and feel better that I didn't get to go. D:.

Murderotica = alcoholic. Not sponsoring. Pokebunny = a child I can beat if caught drinking. Will sponsor.
|
Hi! I'm love1another. I can come! :D I'm under 21 however. I should probably go home before 1am, because train rides are a bitch. And my bedtime is like 11.
|
Bummer. I'ma be in NYC sometime soon, but unfortunately not by Wednesday. =(

The dave and buster there is pretty good about checking IDs when you order your drink.
And also the 25-year-old-guardian rule is stupid. I tried to go there with a bunch of college friends once but we were denied because we had one guy under 21 and none of us were over 25.

I can't wait to exercise the tips you guys gave me in my girl blogs!

BITCH! Take that! How's your argument now son?!
Anyways I have my methods so I'll still make it in there just there is the off-chance that they will be sketched by my form of identification, and I will have driven there for nothing. I assumed that Susie wasn't sponsoring so that she could help someone out in times of need.
.: QED Fuck you Pokefag, 15 YEAR OLDS SHOULD STAY IN DISNEY MOVIES.

lol fuck this is ... shit. probably the most logical and direct thing I've ever read.

Kinda late for me and I'm strapped for cash since textbooks cost $9001 each.
Have fun guys!
|
I always try to make it out to ny events, but things never work out. I can prolly make it out tomorrow but i dont know any of yall lol.
|
I might come and check this out. I plan on going to the IEM championships at the NY Comicon and Anime convention so this could be a meet and greet for me proceeding that event.
I've been lurking a while, mostly for SC2 info, I've only recently decided to start posting.
|
Hi, I think a friend and I will be coming! I hope that's okay! D:
Edit: My friend and I are 19 and 20. Would anybody be willing to be our guardian? We promise not to drink illegally! And sorry for the late notice
|
Is anyone coming from up-state NY (Ithaca region would be ideal) and wouldn't mind giving me a ride there and back (I'd obviously chip in for gas...)?
|
Ehh... I think I'm going to cancel. School starts and I fail.

each guardian can have 5 kiddies though... so shouldn't it be enough? i am in need of a guardian though >_<

I think we're good with the "guardians" thing. Going through the posts, we've got only 5 under 21s (shigure, pokebunny, gentso, bereft + friend), maybe 6 if love1another changes his mind.
And if cost is an issue, no worries I'm more than willing to get beers for y'all. The more the merrier, right?
Plus, I'm pretty curious to see what Pokebunny would be like when he's drunk...lol. (jk ... kinda =P)
|
I can be a guardian as well but if my girlfriend comes I wont be able to make it till around 9:30. If I ditch her and come solo I can be there closer to 8:00.
She has another obligation at 8:00 and if I go with her, she'll come up to Dave and Busters with me later in the night. How long do you guys plan on being there?
|
I went to work with my TL tanktop on so there is a good chance I will be able to make this (especially since D&B is so close to MTV). I can be a guardian again if needed (I've done it before at another StarCraft/Teamliquid event to get FightAsBlind in =D).

I'll be in a white shirt with adidas basketball shorts. That information is irrelevant though, as I won't be there. Cheers!
|
I'll be there around 9:00 with my girlfriend. We're going to try to bail early on her prior engagement. Look for the tallest dude there with a disproportionally short girl. I'll probably have a buzz on already. We can only hope.

ill go but i dont wanna stay too late cuz i wanna get some starcraft time in before i sleep =)

Will be wearing tl shirt as well, so we just walk in and ask for the tl table?
|
I can head there now if people are there. Guess I'll grab my phone to check for updates and head out. See you in 5-10 min!
|
I'm here, about five of us standing by the doors.
|
Will be there with a friend in like 15 or so mins
|

I left first and probably got home like last lol

Just got home. I had a good time. I could talk all day with you guys about games and other shit. It was really cool to find out that lilsusie played on the same wow server as me and even recognized my old guild.
Unfortunately I'm probably the oldest one there and need my old man sleep to get up for work tomorrow or Id still be busting games up there.
I had a pass with alot of games left on it, I should have given it to you guys before I left. I was a little saucy and wasn't thinking. I regret not doing so. If any of you guys are going to head back there, let me know so I can meet up and burn this card I bought.
Peace
Edit: My SC2 name and char code is in my profile. Feel free to hit me up. I'm mediocre at best so don't be scared.

Unfortunately I'm probably the oldest one there and need my old man sleep to get up for work tomorrow or Id still be busting games up there.
I had a pass with alot of games left on it, I should have given it to you guys before I left. I was a little saucy and wasn't thinking. I regret not doing so. If any of you guys are going to head back there, let me know so I can meet up and burn this card I bought.
Peace
Edit: My SC2 name and char code is in my profile. Feel free to hit me up. I'm mediocre at best so don't be scared.
Not sure if you're the oldest one there And also collectively we played so much and got so many tickets that we were able to get a 4000 point prize - a HUGE brown horsie plush doll - for TL of course. Nn

Fun indeed. Sleepy now. Good night -,.-

So Tired. was totally fun, though. 5/5 would do again. :D Off to bed with me.
|
LOL, Grand Central was closed 'till 5:15, I spend 1hr+ on the streets just waiting. My train leaves at 6, I should be home around 8... sux to be me I guess xD But hey, I had a blast! Possibly best day of this summer. Especially after-party. Kudos to everyone who stayed untill very last minute and huuuuge thanks to Susie for organizing it. Love you guys, can't wait for another one. Phy out... literally.
|
Crazy how ur just getting home and iam just walking into class.
|
My only regret is not asking hotbid to scream out "FIX THE COLOUUURRRRSS!!!!" a la combat-ex/chill commentary.
EDIT: btw, what is it that hotbid screams out when Day moves away from the mic to grab another energy drink? I've always wondered...
|
Awww I wish I went. But since in fact I did not go, I will gain nothing from regret. The only option is suicide.
|
Aaww man, this meet up was even more awesome than I imagined. Lilsusie is so much more awesome in real-life. I met tons of cool people. You guys that didn't come missed and amazing time. Thank god I don't have work today. (good call on that water ^_^ )
|
BLARGH.... That is many beers yes?
Thanks pherix and fanata -_-

Phyrexi, you are awesome to have come so far, buy people food and drinks and clean up puke. Two thumbs up.
Thanks Murderotica for driving bumatlarge home even tho he's like 30 mins out of your way.
I heart TL.
|
Oh i didnt have him drive me all the way home, that would have been cruel. Massive props though.
The last thing I remember was talking to happy(?) about brood war > sc2 and then throwing up

You missed about 3 hours in between where you were passed out in your chair. You're lucky the 300+ pound bouncer guy didn't throw you (and us) out.
|
Why the hell do i always miss the fun.
|
We vouched for him, then he proceeds to vomit in the corner. ROFL
|
Btw susie, I know for a fact that you were not the oldest one there =p

I'll be there 100%. With a TL t-shirt this time
p.s. looking for a place to crash oct8-10, couch/floor is enough, I'm willing to pay. Don't like the idea of spending 4hrs each day in a train but I guess I'll have to if I won't find anything.

I need to reinforce the "Phyrexi is absolutely awesome" praise. He shelled out quite a bit of money to make our great time an awesome time!

There you go That's all I have but I saw plenty of people with cameras so we should see more photos soon. If you have any pics please do post them. Much appreciated!
Oh and one more thing. If you see yourself on one of these photos, quote it and reply with you name/tag. Thanks a lot!

Somehow I missed the group photo. Was it before I got there or was it before the game session?
There was a point when it was announced that we were going to play some games so I made a mad dash to the bathroom, my guess is that's when it was taken.

yeah it was taken before you got there. I believe the reasoning was to take it before people left/got drunk.

I don't seem to be getting all the photo requests (I see them go through email but so far only two out of four of them show up on my facebook for approval). Can you try sending the requests multiple times if you aren't on there right away? o.Oa

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know what a great time I had that night. It was a pleasure getting to meet all of you. For anyone who's wondering, I'm the guy in Phyrexi's pictures wearing the white plaid shirt while helping Meatnose blast the heads off Terminators. There were so many great moments, including helping lilsusie farm tickets to buy a TL mascot plushie + shotglasses for everyone with my abysmal trivia skills, trying to get shitfaced while playing Jersey-versions of card games, listening to stories on Korean progaming culture and the various personalities, walking through times square with Dandy4 while dodging angry drunks at 4am, that I feel bad for anyone that missed it.
Special thanks to Phyrexi and Susie's friend Rich who shelled out for pitchers and helped clean up the electric puke, and to everyone for being so friendly and hospitable to someone new to the TL community. I really appreciate it. To anyone I didn't get to talk to, hopefully we'll see each other at future events and lans. I will definitely be attending Comicon next month for the IEM finals, and I'll try to show up to the next Flushing lan if I can find out when the next one is.
For anyone who doesn't mind playing a barely-bronze level player, feel free to add my SC2 name and character code, both of which are in my profile. I'm looking to learn a thing or two in some scrim matches, since you can only learn so much from just watching the pros play and replays.

I still have my D&B card as well. I don't go there that often, but the next time you want to go we can farm tickets and pool enough of them together to buy a back-scratcher or some candy bracelets.

Guys, I'm always at times square and I still have my D&B card. We can always go again =p.

lol Dan why were you hiding your face in the group photo. Also when you said you lurked, you weren't kidding haha, also I was doing more stumbling then walking tbh.

Thanks for the thread link Phyrexi. Barring any last minute obligations, I'll definitely show up to it, though probably not as a tourney player. Also I lol'd at the Arcadius unit power. That moment will always be remembered as the time you "cleaned up the creep".

I'm a master at blending in.
But seriously, I'm pretty terrible at group photos. From my POV it looked like the lens could capture me. Next time I should probably stand closer to the front I guess.
And yeah, I generally hate having deal with website registration, but for TL I made an exception. You'll probably see a lot more of me on the IRC than the actual boards though.

I've been thinking of going back on a Wednesday (half price as we all know) to try to beat the Terminator game from start to finish. That is if I can hold the assault rifle up that long. Let me know if you guys head back there or we can set something up with the rest of the crew.

I may go to the lan, dont worry I wont be drinking -_-

Iam also always at Times Square. Sadly i gave my D&B card to Midian, I think but thats okay i can always get another one ^^
|
I live three blocks from D&B, so if a few of you meet up shoot me a PM and i'll definitely come over if I'm around.
|
Where do you guys go for lunch around times square? I'm always going to cranberry, chipotle, wendys, minar, pongsri and teriyaki boy (sometimes sapporo). im sick of subway.
