Dunellen NJ FFR meet up August 6th and 7th

[psychoangel691]

Looks like this has quieted down when it comes to location. I'll leave it up for the rest of the day then put up a poll for dates.

[Oni-Paranoia]

Everything seems pretty balanced. I think what's more important than "What location do you like best" is figuring out what location is convenient for the majority.

I know I could make it to any of the locations, excluding VA. But I prefer Boston, or 8 on the break. So it's a matter of what's easiest, than what anybody wants. Just a thought.

That was the point of the poll was for people to pick the locations they can get to. 8 on the break seems to be the easiest one for the majority to get to since a lot of the people trying to attend this are in Jersey. I know Kellen is right by 8 on the break, Robbie is about the same distance from it that I am, Chaz is about an hour away from it, etc. The only thing I want to find out is if there's any hotels near 8 on the break. I haven't been out there before so I was going to ask Kellen when I saw him on next since he literally lives right there.

What does suck though is there are some southern east coasters but not nearly as many as there are right up here just in the MA,NJ,NY and PA area alone.

This is my issue. D: And since I can't drive yet, and I know for a fact my parents aren't willing to take me, nor leave me with anyone else in a different state, I'm pretty well screwed. Maybe one day, all us southern east coasters will put something together. :/

lol they still ahve quaters night <333333 i ****ing lived there during middle school 8otb was my shit. back with DDR 5th mix and extreme. now its PiU and ITG...

[TC_Halogen]

They have the newest DDR mix over there too, if I'm not mistaken. Although, 8otB ends up as the final venue, you guys will probably see me playing only ITG and Pro 2

(oh, and DJMAX Technika because I've never played it )

[Tyson ultima]

A date for 8otb is always hard to choose its unpredictable when its busy and when its not lol. I mean when it gets busy forget about getting on technika. Well i believe they have 2 technika machines now

[psychoangel691]

I was thinking about calling them once everything is set and see when they are generally busy maybe even see about renting it out for an hour or two.

[VarleyisDance]

I voted for seaside cause i wanted to go to the jersey shore haha....but anything really works for me

[psychoangel691]

I'd love to go to Seaside but getting a place to stay at the end of summer there is tough.

Maybe we can have a nice marathon battle ;]

DO NOT GO TO SEASIDE. ew. its nasty as hell there. long branch is a nice beach location in NJ and sandy hook isnt too bad. lots of hotel rooms open at sandy hook also because it used to be really shitty but they have been cleaning it up

[Reincarnate]

Come to fukken NYC damnit

[iironiic]

I can only attend if I can car pool with someone. I live around the Albany, NY area. However, I'm doubting anyone will drive past that area on their trip to the meet up though.

You're probably the last person I'd want to see at a meet up. Some will either totally disagree or agree entirely.

[Patricoo]

Pick a place with a ball bit and we got a deal.

I liked Seaside when I went a few years ago. Altho it's probably crap now thanks to that pos show.

Grab a train out to 8 on the break

I wouldn't mind going out to NYC during this excursion too. Apparently the hotel near 8otb has transportation to a train to NYC. Debating on making a day out of it as well

[JenovaSephiroth]

I can easily make it to 8otb and NYC. It's almost common knowledge that I'm like right next to Rubix and Robbie. :V

*edit* Also, if anyone's willing to take a train for a really long time, there's Peter Pan Games out in Bayside, Queens. They don't have ITG but they do have Supernova, Pump, and IIDX 13. It's the only NYC venue I can think of with IIDX.

[Patricoo]

The problem with being in NYC proper is that its going to cost people just to get there and move around, not counting gas if you drive. To hell with the city. Best to have it branch out to NJ, though I'm not big on the current suggestions. (I find driving around, even with a GPS, to be a chore in unfamiliar land in Jersey.) I say you guys should have had Philly in that poll, but even I have to admit that most of the East FFR group is in the New England area.

And as a side note, seeing concepts of north jersey being friendly for PA people, I disagree because of the layout of rails and roads.

Oh well. Two cents answered. My position in southeast PA makes me a minority person.

[SocoNhydro420]

I agree with avoiding large cities like NYC, i would keep it somewhere placid
