New Jersey Convention

[[TeRa]]

SCOTT WUTS UR ADDREZSSS SO I CAN COME TO UR HOUSE AND WE CUD DO STUFF

Edit: more importantly than that lol

Every year in around June, Anime Next takes place, ive gone there every year since 2003 I think, this guy named sammy owns ddreastcoast, and used to bring a machine there every year, this was the first year he didnt though D:

its not major, but possibly you could have a panel there, this has nothing to do with a meet up btw, just a little idea

and about the meetup, i love scott's idea for six flags ;D

[DarkManticoreX2]

I have a place in mind that would be Ideal for up to about 40-50 people.

It's called Infinate games, in Blue bell PA. The place has at least 36 computers, three TV's, Xbox, Game Cube, Random other consoles, and a lot of multiplayer games.

Used to be a place that hosted Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments. I might be able to convince the woman that owns the place to rent it out for a day to us, Otherwise, she charges (or used to a year ago) $3 an hour, and better rates if you're planning on staying longer.


I tried to get a Six Flags thing going this summer, But nobody commited, and I dropped it.

[UnholyDaemon]

Oooh yeah Six Flags would be great. It's about an hour and a half ride for me but it's a ride I'm definitely willing to take. It's definitely one of the best theme parks around. The new wooden coaster is absolutely amazing btw

[scottish]

Dark, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Same with Tera's. Let's get a list of things going that are possible and we'll pick and choose out of those.

[eVo_CaNtToUcH]

There should be one in CHICAGO there are alot of internet cafe's here. There's a six flags in Gurnee, Illinois. Which is like 40 mins out of Chicago near the Wisconsin border. there is also a whole bunch of stuff you could do down here.

[NeoXstar]

i would have a nj convention cuz its wide open space and nyc has little but great for hosting shows or things

i would say NJ cuz one i live there =.= second on boulevard there's a park that ppl can host there and u can see nyc the empire state buling and twin towers

[lXD]

I like darks idea im all up for it =]

I'm seconding the panel if it ever gets considered by the rest of the staff, even if it may not fly with the people who don't really like anime. And yeah, DDR was canceled. Closest things we got to it was Beatmania US and the laptop with Stepmania that some guy brought it.

As for Six Flags, I probably won't go unless I can successfully convince my parents that it would be fine to meet up with people I know only from the internet and a dude who I know from an arcade in some place well over an hour away from home. That and even if it is to take place in May I'll likely end up doing post-AP assignments that I'll be a lazy dick with and work extremely slowly on.

A quick fix for a meet-up...Digital Life, anyone? This year it'll be on the last weekend of September.

[andili]

If NYC, I can't make it. If NJ, I might make it.

[.dot]

I might be able to make it if it's in NJ, too.
xD

[kailure]

**** yeah! I live 30 minutes from Great Adventure so if there is a meet-up there then you can expect me.

yep, as always, all 3 days for me ;D

[Janeille]

Just a random idea. [Tera] suggested Anime Next for June. It's usually a big hit, but this December, New York Anime Festival is debuting. Since Big Apple Anime Fest got canceled a few years ago, New York Anime Festival is expecting to be a huge turn out.

Just thought it'd give FFR huge exposure if it were to.. well idk.. do what they did at that other convention, haha.

Just a thought.

[Zamiax]

Im glad that so many people support the idea of having an FFR convention in NJ or NYC, who knows if this forum builds up we might get an answer.

[H O M E L E S S]

lol i may have a meeting place Ocean County Library their hall can hold up to 250 people and all i need to do is get a date from them then i will be weiling to inform you guys

[Zamiax]

We need a convetion here, somewhere in New Jersey

[[TeRa]]

Bumped like crazy, but it's true, it's nearly summer, we should start cooking up a convention now.
Discuss.

NJ/NY/PA tristate group




@ my house because we planned on it earlier

besides ITS is where i live

[[TeRa]]

I'm thinking if possible like a 20 person meetup at Six Flags or something, that is if we can get enough people that are willing to go, and actually keep their word. The Six Flags thing was recommened before, and it failed, but we have more time to plan it out and everything, I'm 100% willing to go.

Although yeah, a small meetupish thing by ITS wouldn't be bad.

PS, ITS = In The Swing, batting cages / arcade / lot of children
It's in Waldwick, NJ.

[omgitznpv]

I've still never been to ITS, rofl. A few of my friends work there, so whatever.

If it's going to be at least a some-what large meet-up, then keep it to like Six Flags or something (I doubt I would be able to make it though), but if it's like around 10 people or less, meeting up at ITS wouldn't be too bad.
