TZ Gathering? Rockefeller center?

[Harley]

Anyone close to or in NYC interested in going to see the tree in a group? Maybe grab some pizza or something after?

[Eddie G.]

OOOOOOOOOOO... Sounds fun, when though?

[Nick K.]

That would be fun.

[WingZombie38]

That would be awesome! When is this? I can't remember if it's in these last few days of Novemeber or the first week of December as usual. And I am SO in for the pizza! :anime:


It will also be pathetic asking my parents if I can go since I'm 20.

[Eddie G.]

It will also be pathetic asking my parents if I can go since I'm 20.I think the lighting is the 30th (This Tuesday). Of course seeing the tree doesn't mean seeing the lighting.

[BLACKHEART]

You should so do this! You just have to make sure John Crition is there so he can take 100's of pics for the Photo Album. No this will need it's own album! I would come but we couldn't put those kind of photos on this site. ;)

[Chris Wood]

I would come but we couldn't put those kind of photos on this site. ;)

Always the tease, eh?

[Harley]

I'm in the city after work Monday through Friday. I also wouldn't be adverse to coming in on a Saturday. I also live on my own, so I can go home whenever heck I want to be home. I'm pretty open. So, if you're interested, shout out some days and times that work best for you and let's see if anything matches up anywhere!

You're very brave for under 35 degree fahrenheit weather. :D

[Eddie G.]

December is at the moment a pretty open month for me except for the second weekend of the month when I'll be out of state. Friday would probably be the best night for me (Because everything is about me) but I can make time any day of the week really. I'm flexable and really don't have to worry about school anymore so... yah.

Best Times For Me...
Friday 3:00-1:00
Saturday 1:00-1:00
Sunday 1:00-10:00
Moday-Thursday 3:00-9:00 or 10:00

I really hope that this thing gets done, I love meeting new people.

[Lord Dalek]

God, I'd love to but I can't for obvious reasons.

[guinaevere]

Yeah, it's tough to get to NY from behind that sofa.

[Czar Gato]

I can't go, but be sure to take lots of pictures. :)

[WingZombie38]

I think the lighting is the 30th (This Tuesday). Of course seeing the tree doesn't mean seeing the lighting.Your right. Since the lighting was coming up I assumed that was what was being meant. :sweat:


Times that work for me are as follows:
Monday is no good
Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - 1:30pm [That way I can just walk to school]
Wednesday is iffy but doable depending on what times people like.
Friday is out since I have morning -- night classes.
Weekends are out for the time being but a Saturday might work if things clear up.

[Nick K.]

Let's do it Tuesday.

[The Dork Knight]

Boy, I'd really love to go. Too bad I won't be able to. :sad:

TDK

[Kury Wagner]

God, I'd love to but I can't for obvious reasons.
You and me both Dalek. You and me both. . . (wow, that sounded cool) But see, it's times like this I wish I lived in NY. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/867750/grumblesmiley.gif

[Nick K.]

New York isn't as great as everyone thinks. Well, it is... but I'm trying to make you feel better? Who am I kidding... hahahahahaha you live in not New York.

[Beguiled]

I wish I could...but there is no way my parents would let me get on a plane, go to New York and meet a bunch of people I only know over the internet. (their opinion not mine. Yup they're kinda overly protective) It sucks. :(
Post lots of pictures!

~ Angel.

[Kury Wagner]

Well, have fun guys.

New York isn't as great as everyone thinks. Well, it is... but I'm trying to make you feel better? Who am I kidding... hahahahahaha you live in not New York.
:p Scoff. Meanie head.

[TimTwoFace]

I'd go but...well, being 3000 miles away is a bit of an obstacle. :p

Take pics, peoples!

-Tim

[guinaevere]

:wails: I want to GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I don't suppose you can put this off, oh say, three years, for me to scrape together airfare money?

[Eddie G.]

:wails: I want to GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I don't suppose you can put this off, oh say, three years, for me to scrape together airfare money?If you want I can set up a paypal account for the Get Guinaevere to NYC Fund.

[guinaevere]

Sounds great, Blue Wolf!

Let me see, if all of TZ who lives in the NY area who want to shell out their cash so I can look at a pretty tree and hang with the TZ gang pitch in, my ticket will be paid in ... yup... about three years. :sweat:

[g_UnIt_GaNsTa]

Too bad that I live in Louisiana...

[ToOn~g@l]

I'd go but...well, being 3000 miles away is a bit of an obstacle. :p

Take pics, peoples!

-Tim
Same here except I'm about 2,000 miles away.:shrug:

YOu know what would be really cool, if we all got together in the middle of the country like in St. Louis or something, its a halfway mark for everyone. And we can all meet in the summer sometime, that would be fun.:)

[Storm Eagle]

I'm off from work from December 13th to the 17th. Basically any time before dark is good for me on those days. Or any other day for that matter. Saturdays are always great.

[guinaevere]

Just out of curiousity, which airport is closest? LaGuardia?

Honestly, I love Christmas trees, and I'm a failure as a native New Yorker. I've never seen Rockefeller center (or any of the city) at Christmas time. :crying:

[Tanooki]

man. i wish i lived in a more populus area. that way i can meet some of my fellow toon zoner's. :sad: sjjpabs, speedy boris, and af$...we minnesotans need to unite!!!

Falcon

[Zebi]

This sounds like so much fun, and I'd love to go! It's not too long of a drive from where I live to the Canada / US border. Unfortunately, lack of money and transportation means I can't go. :(

[Matthew Williams]

hmmm... sounds interesting. If I go, I'd get people to do the NBC studio tour because that was fun. :)

I'm in Philly, so it's a little iffy, but Saturday/Sunday is best. Also best if you wait two weeks since I'm finishing up the term right now.

[Mr. Pedro]

Sounds intriguing. Maybe if I can get my grandmother to take me back to the Bronx with her when her holiday visit ends in a few days, I'd be in perfect striking distance.

Don't think I can really do it though. I've got a bit too much on my plate right now.

[Eddie G.]

Just out of curiousity, which airport is closest? LaGuardia?

Honestly, I love Christmas trees, and I'm a failure as a native New Yorker. I've never seen Rockefeller center (or any of the city) at Christmas time. :crying:It doesn't really make a difference since LaGaurdia is an evil evil place that you should never visit.

[guinaevere]

Hey, I never said I wanted to visit LaGuardia. Just fly in, possibly. :p

I've had a few connecting flights up there from my former New England days. It's not so bad as airports go. Not good, but not the worst.

I'd suggest that the few local atlantians go see the Lights at Life some evening. But they're not doing it this year!!! bwaaahhahahaa!! http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/sad_green.gif And it's tougher for some of the kids to get around from the atlanta burbs. Marta (local transit) only goes to so many places.

[Nick K.]

La Guardia H.S. class of 2005! w00t. The airport sucks but my school rules!

[Westlander]

Too bad that I live in Louisiana...You? Then what I have to say? Way over the Atlantic, mate!

[Phantasm]

Make sure u take lots of pics!This should be interesting.

[Stu]

I'd love to see Christmas in New York. We went a few years back in November. It was just plain cold. Colder than a drawing board mod cold.

Cold.

Have fun everyone.

[WingZombie38]

La Guardia H.S. class of 2005! w00t. The airport sucks but my school rules!You go to La Guardia? Wah! I always wanted to go there! I ended up going to a high school in the projects [was that better my dear parents!?]. My Favorite teacher from Junior High even transfered to La Guardia to become a counselor. Can't remember her name for some reason. Last I remember she's short, blonde, cheery, and all the guys and gals agree she's cute. Sound familiar? :sweat:


And I will not forget my camera for this! I will even bring tons of batteries for my battery-sucking camera. I will probably get confused looking around for all who are coming.

Which remeinds me. Everyone can get to trains like the N, R, F, and V okay? What part of December does everyone think is better? Where exactly are we meeting? We exchanging pictures? Holding signs? :p

[Nick K.]

It's awesome...

hmm... Engler? York?

[Eddie G.]

Everyone can get to trains like the N, R, F, and V okay?
I'm actually just going to take the Q and walk from 42nd street, I'll probably stop off at few other places before I go to RC.

What part of December does everyone think is better?
For me, this week would be because I know I have no plans.

Holding signs?
I won't be hard to miss, I'll be wearing a Superman t-shirt, black winter coat, Mets cap, and a silk Vietnamese jacket. I'll probably be reading a comic book.

[Cartman]

Unfortunately, I won't be anywhere near NYC anytime soon. Maybe if we'd have some type of TZ gathering here in the upper midwest.

[MahouShoujo13]

Boy, I'd really love to go. Too bad I won't be able to. :sad:

TDK
I second that.

I can't really go to NYC without asking my parents. And being with people I knew only from the internet...no no no. They're NOT going to let me.

I can't be in NYC alone and I can't be there without members of my family being with me and my sister.

So I can't go...even though it's one bus ride and one train ride away.

[Shnay]

I don't suppose you can put this off, oh say, three years, for me to scrape together airfare money?Too good to take a Greyhound bus? :p

I think we should try to organize TZ gatherings for a few different geographical regions. Even if only a few people could show up to any given gathering, it would still probably be really fun.

[Zapages]

I live in NJ... I would love to come, but I have finals coming in two weeks and pratical this Tuesday... :sad:

[Czar Gato]

Just out of curiousity, which airport is closest? LaGuardia?Hey, if you go through JFK, be sure to stop by Terminal 4; my uncle works security there. :)

Hey, wait a sec... maybe he can sneak me onto a plane... *smiles fiendishly*

[Kury Wagner]

Unfortunately, I won't be anywhere near NYC anytime soon. Maybe if we'd have some type of TZ gathering here in the upper midwest.Yeah, upper midwest would be great, because I live in Wisconsin (We have cheese!) . . . :gir:

[Tanooki]

I'd love to see Christmas in New York. We went a few years back in November. It was just plain cold. Colder than a drawing board mod cold.

Cold.

Have fun everyone.thems be fightin' words! *raises fists* unless you're talking about frozen. then it's ok :p

Falcon

[Alex Toon]

I can't go. I think I'm spending Christmas with my mom's friend's family,but my cousins live in Connecticut.

[Harley]

It sounds like Saturday, Dec. 4th might work best for more people. 3 pm meet up time? Maybe see the tree when it gets dark? Hopefully that gives those concerned with getting home before it gets too late enough time to do so.

[The Detective]

Too bad that I live in Louisiana...Hey, so do I. Cool to see someone else from my state here.

Oh and I would love to go to this. But yeah can't for obvious reasons here....

</The Detective>

[Outlander00]

Make a day and Ill be there! ;)

[WingZombie38]

It sounds like Saturday, Dec. 4th might work best for more people. 3 pm meet up time? Maybe see the tree when it gets dark? Hopefully that gives those concerned with getting home before it gets too late enough time to do so.No. The fourth is very bad for me. It's one of my family's birthday and they would be crushed if I left to go out and not spend time with her. She's very old. It's not like I could bring her along. Maybe the saturday after? The time, 3pm, sounds fine though.

Where exactly at R. Center would be a good spot though? By the rink? The Pokemon store?



hmm... Engler? York?Engler sounds about right. Ack, wish I knew where some junior high papers were.

[Eddie G.]

Sounds good to me, count me in. But I can't come next week... so yah.

[Viper]

I wish I could go.:( I live in Staten Island, but I have absolutely no one to get me there and back.:( Another problem is my health and the cold weather; I still haven't gotten my flu shot yet.:( The other problem is my paranoid mother--she's still worried to death about me going there on my own even though I'm 32.:(

Oh, well. Enjoy yourselves everyone. It's better for me to see it on TV anywho. However, I'd still do almost anything to go to Manhattan a.k.a. "The City" on my own again. Even if I had to give away my soul to my pastor, seriously.:( :crying:

[Nick K.]

Engler sounds about right. Ack, wish I knew where some junior high papers were.

She's my guidance counselor.

[Storm]

My parents gave me the "maybe" answer. They said my older brother would have to come along if I wanted to go which is no biggie. Cross your fingers.

- Fray

[Harley]

Anyone have a conflict if we move it to Saturday, Dec. 11th to accomodate WingZombie and Matt Williams? Wanna try and get as many people in on this as possible. ;) If not, we'll figure something out.

[Eddie G.]

I'll kind of be in Vermount on December 10th-12th. If there is no other way for Matt or WingZombie to come than I'll just give it up, although I really want to go.

[Harley]

Where exactly at R. Center would be a good spot though? By the rink? The Pokemon store?

I'm trying to think of an area that'll be not as crowded. Some place where we might actually be able to spot each other. I'm pretty sure across the street from Radio City is best (49th or 50th St.), where the fountains are. I used to work in that area and if memory serves, less people usually walk through there.

I'll scout it out a little later this week to see if that's a good place or not. (If nothing else, the N,R,D,F,1 and 9 trains are all pretty close to that area.)

[Classic Speedy]

AARGH why couldn't we have a meeting when I was in New York in August? :sad: I can't easily make a THIRD NYC trip within a year!

It doesn't really make a difference since LaGaurdia is an evil evil place that you should never visit. What's so bad about La Guardia? I've been there and it's not as horrid as everyone says it is. Sure, it's not decked out or up to date, but it certainly isn't a hell hole. ;)
man. i wish i lived in a more populus area. that way i can meet some of my fellow toon zoner's. sjjpabs, speedy boris, and af$...we minnesotans need to unite!!! How about we meet in St. Paul? Save myself some driving. :D

BTW, congrats on becoming a mod. That's what happens when you don't visit Toon Zone for 6 days, you come back, someone changes their name and becomes a mod, and the whole operation's a shambles! ;)

[Harley]

The 11th is definitely the date! My apologies to any who cannot make this gathering, there will be others. I'll send out PMs on Monday to those who expressed interest and get the details out of the way, like how to find each other.

As always, use discretion when meeting internet people. There are a lot of socially defuct perverts and sociopaths out there. Old men picking up 14 year old girls just isn't cool.

I'm weird, but if you can deal with my towel cape, we'll get along just fine.

[BLACKHEART]

I'm in the city after work Monday through Friday. I also wouldn't be adverse to coming in on a Saturday. I also live on my own, so I can go home whenever heck I want to be home. I'm pretty open. So, if you're interested, shout out some days and times that work best for you and let's see if anything matches up anywhere!



Whatever keeps a roof over your head. ;)



You're very brave for under 35 degree fahrenheit weather. :D
You Canadians and your whacky way of telling the temp! What's that in American? :)

[Kury Wagner]

You Canadians and your whacky way of telling the temp! What's that in American? :)The sad thing is Blackheart, I can never tell if you're kidding. . .

[Harley]

You Canadians and your whacky way of telling the temp! What's that in American? :)

I hate it when Yonkers moves to Canada on me. I wish it would just pick a place and stay there. Either one. I mean, really. I'm confused enough as it is!

35 degrees fahrenheit is something like 1.67 degrees celsius and 274.8 in Kelvin.

[Tanooki]

You Canadians and your whacky way of telling the temp! What's that in American? :)i thought farenheit was the american standard for telling the temperature

Falcon

[BLACKHEART]

Opps! I think Tim confused me that day and was telling me the temp in Canadian terms... Anyways... *Runs.*

[TimTwoFace]

Hey hey hey, you're not pinning this on me!

*GIVES CHASE AT MANY KILOMETRES-PER-HOUR*

-Tim

[BLACKHEART]

*Runs many miles per hour faster than Tim.*

[Harley]

Hey hey hey, you're not pinning this on me!

*GIVES CHASE AT MANY KILOMETRES-PER-HOUR*

-Tim

Oh wow. Oddly enough... that translates to exactly the same amount in mph.

::hides::

[GCFyouthcamper]

If you guys ever make a gathering in the Philippines, let me know. I can't do anything outside my country unless someone can send a plane to pick me up.

[WingZombie38]

The 11th is definitely the date! My apologies to any who cannot make this gathering, there will be others. I'll send out PMs on Monday to those who expressed interest and get the details out of the way, like how to find each other.Did you ever send out those PMs? We are all still on for Saturday, right?

[Harley]

We're still on for this weekend. I'm actually writing up the PM right now... just got back from a volleyball game with my co-workers. :wakko:

[Harley]

Okay. Sent that PM out. If you didn't get it and felt you should have, just let me know.

Sleepytime.

Thanks!

[guinaevere]

Too good to take a Greyhound bus? :p weeeeeeeeell... I've done Greyhound before. (Amtrack, too.) I like to try new things, and wanted to say I've done the bus thing and the train thing but I can honestly tell you, I don't ever wish to repeat the experience.

Had I extra petrol money and time, I would have loved to drive myself up there to meet everyone. Ah well. Y'all have a fab time, and take oodles of pictures for us to see. Especially of Harley wearing her cape. :D

[Harley]

Just a reminder... Saturday is coming up! If you haven't responded yet, just shoot me a quick PM just so I know who to expect.

Thanks!
