Time to ad another story of messed up trip to/from the meet:

Had nothin' planned for yesterday except getting to JFK and getting on that Finnair flight to Helsinki (connection back to Stockholm from there). Getting on the J at Bowery - no problem. Getting of the J at Jamaica - no problem. Taking the Airtrain to termainal 8/9 - no problem. Waiting for the check in to open - no problem. Checking in - Flight cancelled!!! :(:(:( Rebooked to SAS direct to Sthlm - full. LOT to Warszawa - oh joy. Finnair to Helsinki - eh. SAS to Sthlm - took some convincing to get Finnair to put us on it (the fact that my brother had to pick up his son from daycare on time finally convinced them we couldn't wait for the next Finnair flight). Missing the buss to our hood/'burb from the aiport by 5 min 'cause we had to wait for our lugage to unload - fun. Next direct bus going 1½ hour later - rotflmfao. Taking the bus downtown instead and thus sitting here at work wthout having been home yet, when I was supposed to have gotten 6 hours of rest/shower/food inbetween - priceless.

/time to change my sig.

sounds like fun :runaway:

dennis when do you get home ;)

wow swede that was a story I must say; good that you did get home :)
I wonder if Dennis gets trough security back at the airport :? :D ;)
Well I' be waiting for his, Jan's and Ace their stories of the meet :)

That's too bad.

It was really fun, I had a great time, nice to meet you all. Boy are my legs hurting right about now!

I feel sorry for jacksom, poor guy must've walked the most and he's heading back to Baltimore all in the same day.

Time to flood the forum with pics! :D

Pain is an understatement for what I’m feeling at this moment. The muscles in my left foot and around my ankle has cramped up so much that I need to use a cane to walk. The pain really kicked in when I awoke the next morning.

I would like to thank the New York crew for being great tour guides. Its good to hear, despite some minor (ok major for some) difficulties, everyone made it home safely. So when's NEW YORK MEET PART II.

a small one when I'm there?

lol - I thought I was the only one with a screwed up ankle. The ankle especially hurts!

No problem about the tour guide, thanks to phxmania too, did a great job.

NYC Meet part 2? Anytime you guys want! :D

It turns out that when we went up from the 35th Street station ODB had just died within a couple of blocks from us.

Odb?

Old Dirty Bastard, the rapper.

he died?

well I'm up for Part II, I missed the first, but I won't miss the second

he died?

yes

but wasn't that studio (that ODB died in) like on 34th and 11th? and were on 5th or 6th av., right?

what happened to him? how did he die?

I dunno, but didn't he have 13 kids?

I also heard he wuz on welfare....

what happened to him? how did he die?

i believe it was heart failure or attack..

^the leading cause of death is heart failure iirc. beats out the other contendor (brain failure) by a wide margin.

Then we could have a contest between you and Dennis who could get more excited and say "shit" the most from seeing the city.

Nah, Dennis is the shit master. Or is it Ace? (Dennis/Jan should get this joke. :D)

Ace is the leak master.

^ :)

Nah, Dennis is the shit master. Or is it Ace? (Dennis/Jan should get this joke. :D)

But it would be my first time there ;)

Heck even I get this joke Jack! :D ;) We remember HK ;) :D :)

Time to let this thread go from the top...

Well, till the next meet...

Yo LeCom, where's your part 2 pics?

Thread in the making. Woulda posted earlier if not for SAT practice. That old bitch (SAT), cant ever let me go...

SAT's...aah, don't remind me. Good luck with those.

We'll be awaiting part 3. :D

Here's one of my photos from the meet:

Sorry it's a little blurry-I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a picture of it with my digital.

EDIT: From the left, it's savethewtc, Ace, jacksom, Swede, LeCom, and Ellatur.

Well, when's the next meet?

@ Lecom, in 3 years lol :D

wait, arent there some ppl who wanted to make one in january or something?

I think it's February. Tim's coming from the Netherlands I believe and Lucky's coming down from Toronto. Not sure if the dates overlap on one date we can all meet though.

If there's another meet in NYC anytime soon, i'll be sure to try to go.

an other Tim (me) is coming next year also ;)

Good thinking on stickieing this up again.

Ever since I returned, my knies hurt from walking too much. Now it turns out I developed something that is called a Housemaid's Knee (http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/patelladisorders/a/kneebursitis.htm). I should have taken the metro more often. :)

ewwww i hope you feel better Jan

Yea, get better soon
so you can go to NYC again and walk your ass (knees) off again :P

so when's the next one?

Spring Meet 05'

Date TBA.. late March would be prime...

Perhaps a mini one next month too, I think Tim from the Netherlands is coming, I'll talk with him and see.

OK, we got 2 Dutch forumers coming to the city in February from the 6-14. Friday, February 11 is fine with me or Saturday, February 12 for a meet up.

Anyone else free these days, planning to come, or have any suggestions?

Give us a nice entry parade! :)

As it happens, February 11 is the birthday of a certain... umm... Bronx forumite, so... umm... yeah! ;)

But yeah, either of those should be fine.

Closer to spring. It's way too cold now. -10 celsius?! My face will fall off after half an hour outside

That's cool! Feb. 11 is the preferable day for me, but if more people say the 12th, then that's cool too.

C'mon LeCom, you can't let a little cold prevent you from hanging out with us! We all handled it pretty good during the other meet. Most of that day was real cold too, especially the morning.

So far we got 4 down?

1. aedificium erectum
2. NegaSado
3. phxmania2001
4. savethewtc

yeah i'm down too just tell me where to meet

push it back to april, and i'll definitely go

push it back to april, and i'll definitely go

We'll have a spring meet, but we got international forumers coming next month so it'll be cool to have a mini-meet up with them.

push it back to april, and i'll definitely go

April would be prime... and the later the better... allow more time for the word to get out, and more time for ppl to plan... I'd love to have large group..30+

hmm.. i think 10 < x > 20 is the best size

I'll try to make it again (work schedule permitting).
It would be nice to check out some BK neigborhoods.

Don't worry, if I make it, I'll bring some more hats. :)

well I wouldn't mind a second meet, at least I'll catch this one seeing how I missed the last one ;)

Well done, well done

already a year has past. ahh time goes very fast

^ indeed it does...

It seems quite a few of the NY forumers missed the most recent meet. :(

Maybe the time should be later or it should be a Sunday rather than a Saturday.
