I know last year, I read some murmurings on this but I'm not sure if it ever happened.
Basically, I'm interested in doing or attending a 21+ gathering at Acen 2009. I'll be 28 come ACen '09 and I find every year it gets harder and harder to make friends with similar interests to mine.
I'd like to have some more buddies to go to conventions with, do cosplays with and hang out in general.
Would any of you old folks be interested in a gathering like this?

*is 22

I'm old? *Cries

XD

Well i'm game, there are a few forumners who might be up to it too. But to be honest, it is a tad too early for Acen meet-ups. We old people may forget. lol

[spazchan]

I am 24, and always interested in meeting new people.

Yes, you're ancient X3
I like planning things out early, what can I say. I'm going to bookmark this and boost it back up around time for next ACen.

I'm 19...Je suis desole. But I am more mature than most 20 year olds!

[this_chick25]

Yeah, but maturity level doesn't get you into (or keep some people out of) a bar, sugar-pie...

Yea I don't think this happened cause I looked for this also and the place where it was supposed to happen was closed.

Well according to the average age poll 24 is ancient.

Last year this didn't really work, it was going to be held on Saturday night at like 11pm and was planned a week before the con. Most people had met groups by then and were hanging around with them by that point. A dinner meet up time on Friday would work better, people who are not going Friday do to work are out, and you still have plenty of time to hang out with new friends.

Out here in Rochester I got a group together for a bi-monthly adult anime group. It works out great we each bring new anime each time and watch about 10 eps or so. Do to the age group most of the anime titles are Seinen and Josei which is nice, but you do get to see shows you wouldn't think of looking at.

[akaikurama]

I know I seen that topic post and got a laugh out of the very skewed groupings...

[DaphHime]

I just turned 21 about a month ago. Guess I'm old now. Don't really act or feel like it though.

Dunno about going to a 21+ gathering. I'll see how I feel in a few months.

Yep, sure are
I'm just kidding, of course

Hm, that's disappointing that it didn't happen last year :/

This isn't about maturity level. There's a whole lot of immature 20 year olds, 30 year olds and on up. Age isn't an indication of maturity.
I don't mind hanging out with folks younger than me, that's not the problem. I'd just like to meet and get to know some folks closer to my age is all

[Lenne]

I'll be 23 then, ahhhh...

I think it could be fun. No idea if I'd be able to actually make it to a meetup though...

(hiya, it's flyingwild from LJ )

[wolverine33]

Now this could be interesting, I'm oldder then most here and at most meet ups i feel like the old man because most
of the time there's no one close to my age (don't expect it a lot either lol)

But it means you have to keep the kids out ( puch then ouot the door) LOL

It would depend tough because i might be staffing again so it depends on what i'm doing and when...

Later

I'm 17 and will still be come acen... but I'm gonna drop an opinion here anyway.

This does seem like a good idea because as most of you have been saying: finding "older" anime fans irl can be difficult... this is somewhat beyond me as most people I speak to frequently on the Net are older than me. This does of course show that fans in this age group are out there... a gathering of this type would get you guys together well. Friday also does seem like a good new friend making day as someone posted because later on people are often distracted with their new friends...

[Isamu]

You can count me in. Just make sure if it is at a bar chances are the Hyatt will only have the red bar open.

[Secret_Otaku]

I might go. Considering it.

lol That was clever. Well said hot stuff.

You guys sound depressed talking about being 24 and crap. I'm up there with you so uh, keep it down. Where's this little meet up, and when? Don't be surprised by my interest. Infact, don't think that I care.

Thanks, I'm not coming anymore. haha

It's always hard to find ladies my age, in particular. I'm 27 and let's face it, most gals around me my age are raising a couple of kids by now or getting set to have some or working on careers.
I'm not a kid person. I'm not even a very good housewife, that's for sure! XD
It's not that I mind hanging out with younger folks, mind you. Sure I'm not as up on bands nowadays or television anymore, but I can jabber about movies, anime and such with the best of them.
Haha, but you'd be surprised at the amount of them that get along with you, then hear your age and balk. I guess thats kind of influence by the face that I have a baby face and don't look my age, though.

I'm not depressed, that's for sure! I was just interested in meeting folks my age and vaguely recalled a thread on this last year. I didn't intend to make this an "Oh pity me for I am teh ancientz" thread, believe me.

Haha, I'll be... 28? Yeah, 28.
When it's closer to time, perhaps we can set the meetup during the convention.
One reason I asked about this is because I'm horrendous at meeting new people. What can I say, I'm still shy! I warm up though, if you give me time.

It was a joke dude lol Just like you said though, meeting people my own age is nice but I haven't met anyone new in a very long time. I'll feel the need to change that eventually but until then, not yet.

[alichii]

I would be interested in this
I'm usually shy but put a few drinks in me and I can be allot of fun

Sounds about right for anyone lol

[EzERawk]

I remember trying this last year and it didn't really pan out. I think we set up a time and date to meet at the hotel bar, except when I got there, it was pretty dead and the closest thing to a meet-up was a group of like 6 or 8 at a table.

I am excited to try again though. I ain't getting any younger.

[nouseforaname]

Interesting.

Hah, never can tell on a forum sometimes!

[Drake22]

I'll be 21 by Acen 09, So maybe I'll drop by one of these

[wolverine33]

It's hard to say if this will go over or not most people that go are under 21 but there's a lot that
are over 21 (you have to look hard to find them heh heh)

All you can go is try it again and see what happens...
