So last minute, but NYC people - anyone around tomorrow and/or Sunday?

I am apparently taking the girlfriend and 2 of her friends to NYC for the weekend to see stuff. I can give you the itinerary (of which I've had no say in!) if you guys are around (Strago? Miki?).

Just let me know! We're leaving tomorrow at 0700

Strago · « **Reply #1001 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:20:29 AM »

Aw, boo. This weekend's actually bollocks for me (as are most weekends these days, actually), as I'm working almost non-stop. Still, let me know your plans and maybe we can meet up.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #1002 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:28:45 AM »

Aw man. I'd be totally up for that, but I'm in Taxachusettes this weekend for my cousin's graduation party.

NotMiki · « **Reply #1003 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:41:51 AM »

I'm busy part of tomorrow, boo apartment-hunting, but yeah, let me know what you're up to and I'll see if we can figure something out.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #1004 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:27:41 AM »

Here's the itinerary that I know of thus far:

Saturday: leave here around 7am. Arrive at the hotel for
9-10am (this is in Newark, NJ).Park. Possibly stow luggage. World Trade Center. Chinatown. Brooklyn Bridge. Pizza. Hotel to change. Dinner at Spice - Thai food. Walk through Greenwich Village. Bleecker Street Pub
Crawl (and maybe some ice cream. - note that this is probably a "crawl" to 2 pubs at most) Back to hotel.

Sunday: breakfast in NY or Hoboken. Midtown Manhattan walk.
Time Square. Central Park + hot dog. Dinner of some sort.

As for times...this is a bit loose. Best times would be in the evening for you guys (so the dinners?). I'll PM my cell phone to you guys. If you can do something or want to, please give me a call - if not, don't worry, I can always stalk you later.

Just got back from the SF dyke march. Holy crap that was a lot of people, and a lot of toplessness.

Indeed?

Just got back from the SF pride parade; I'm sure I was on TV if you had the right station.

Fun, but also disgusting and exhausting (Empty glasses everywhere. Portapoties are even worse when there's drunk men who don't know to put the seat up...or how to get it in the bowl).

Jeez, busy weekend for the LGBT community.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1009 on:** June 29, 2009, 05:12:26 AM »

New-old roommate came with record player and his parents' collection of vinyl. Went through it recently. Most of it is crap. However, get 1x Bowie, 1x Beatles, 1x Rush, 3x Pink Floyd, plus a lot of other stuff that doesn't come to mind. The record player is easily the classiest way to play music.

You have no idea. I've been out late every night for the past 9 days (many of them building a parade float), then basically all day this Friday and Saturday at marches, and then the parade happened on Sunday (over faster than the marches, but then I had to serve alcohol and hand out pamphlets).

Excepting musical instruments, you mean.

The record player can be a musical instrument:

(Note to Zenny: don't try this at home, you need a specialized turntable.)

Grefter · « **Reply #1013 on:** June 29, 2009, 08:16:48 AM »

Also of course the presses you do that on are cheap crappy vinyl designed to only be listened to a certain number of times. It will completely fuck up 50 year old hard consumer vinyls.

Vinyl fucking rules though. Don't suppose there was any Queen or Uriah Heep or something Zenny? Mmmmm good times.

AND NOW, A RECAP OF XEROMA'S MOVE:

My internet magically cut off on the 22nd without much warning. This is why I haven't been online as of late.

Packing the cats was the second worst part of the move. I have a shitload of scratch scars from that...

The drive took 33 hours. Without taking breaks into account, mind you. But it wasn't in a three ton truck this time at least.

Fuck New Mexico, there is nothing in that state aside from run down stuff.

FUCK ARKANSAS AND ALL OF ITS FUCKING BUGS.

Rest of the states were fairly nondescript.

Virginia's honestly pretty decent so far. Unlike Anthem I actually live near a bunch of shops and a city this time, so no lack of things to do this time. The neighborhood isn't the best, but I at least live in a safe part of it[double locked apartment, near a school where crime is taken super seriously so fines are a lot higher/automatic felonies if bad things happen near me].

Cotigo · « **Reply #1015 on:** June 29, 2009, 06:24:13 PM »

Entirely possible, though I don't think we've found any yet. There's two more boxes we haven't gone through. Found some Jimi Hendrix Experience after that post, though, and we have pulled a good 15-20 albums that range from awesome to listenable... which isn't a lot since there's at least 50 albums per box and we've gone through three. But hey, something's better than nothing.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #1016 on:** July 02, 2009, 07:41:28 AM »

Ah fuck. Just got some kind of nasty spyware on my comp. Won't even let me run anything from safe mode. This is prolly gonna require a full wipe. Luckily I have a backup from November at least.

You didn't have a kitty carrier? I had a cat, who was the twin brother of my other cat Ike. So Ike and Mike. I was trying to be all cute and take him with me to get them food. He was freaking out on my dash. By the time I got back in from the grocery storre and opened the car door, he jetted out. I tried getting him for maybe 10 minutes, but said fuck it because he was hiding under people's cars. So. No more Mike. Replaced him later with Jack, and Ike got sick so now it's all Jack, but a kitty carrier + stuffing their favorite plushies and snacks in it makes everything easy. Wooooh.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1018 on:** July 02, 2009, 06:40:54 PM »

And Sopko reminds me that I need to backup my own shit. It's probably time for a reformat, anyway. 6 year old computer is six year slow computer.

In unrelated news, colds suck.

Paycheck!

Cotigo · « **Reply #1020 on:** July 08, 2009, 06:41:20 PM »

So! I'm getting that itch again, and need a new JRPG to play. Unfortunately I'm practically broke (saving money for DLC) and don't own anything I haven't finished and really feel like playing, which brings me to my point: I was wondering if anyone would be willing to maybe let me borrow the DDS games at all? If you're willing, could you PM me so we can work something out?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1021 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:28:21 PM »

I'd be willing to part with my copy of DDS1 for free, myself, but both my copies are pirateland bonanza (i.e. not running on your PS2 unless it's modded), and I doubt overseas shipping would work out. I'm sure some people around here can work something out, though.

Xeroma · « **Reply #1022 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:56:08 PM »

Bug Super/Gate, I'm sure they can lend it.

superaielman · « **Reply #1023 on:** July 08, 2009, 11:08:51 PM »

I'd like to track down my copy so yeah, good timing on this.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #1024 on:** July 08, 2009, 11:13:44 PM »

Yeah, as another note, everyone I've loaned games to! (except Xer, since we've talked already)

Please bring them to DL Con if coming. I just need to keep stock. ALSO. If not coming, please check and let me know - I'll probably send PMs - they've been out for about a year >_>
