A bar? Weird enough, I've never been to one. At least not while I'm off age. I don't drink so I wouldn't go.

Eh, I don't drink either, save a frilly froo-froo mixed drink. I like mudslides but that's because I like chocolate anything. XD
But I'd be all for some pizza. Gawd, I love pizza.

[nouseforaname]

I'd probably go to see people or some crap. I'm not a huge fan of pizza but if it's there, I'll try it out.

[droopy172]

hi everyone just wondering if you guys all met up or not? I love meeting new people and i've loved anime since i was a kid and most of my friends aren't very big fans of anime so its hard to find someone to talk nerdy to lol.

[S1NN3R]

the actual meet isn't untill the con bet i'm sure we can set up a pre-meet

[MissMandyLynne]

this sounds really fun! - so as long as somebody keeps me posted and people actually show up then im all for it - but answer me this... if 22 is dust and 24 is ancient then what the hell am I at 23?

Ancient dust? But that makes me ancient though T-T.

Anyway, if it's not too much trouble, can anyone PM me if we get an exact date? It's just in case I forget to check this thread. I appreciate it in advance.

actually can somebody do this for me too? - i know ill forget to check this thread - ive done it before for past meet-ups - dont really wanna miss another one

[FlyingElf]

When it gets closer to the con and we have a concrete time/date, I'll gladly take people's numbers to text them a reminder at con. But yeah, don't send them now its way too early and I'll probably either delete the PM or delete the number out of my phone.

I actually started this thread a couple months ago, but it died. I think I didn't make the thread's title appealing enough lol.

Why make the meetup so late? Aren't meetups meant for people to meet up in order to make the wait for acen more enjoyable? I understand that we're all busy and all but I'm sure we could come to an agreement.

21+ meetups just tend to work better when it's later in the day, let alone it's always a good time to catch a drink or two at the bar.

[MissMandyLynne]

i mean it makes sense for all of us *old* people to go out past dark its more fun when we can hang out till 2am getting drunk - but as for an actually time it doesn’t really matter to me - i mean I’m here from thursday night till monday morning - I’m special so whenever you all wanna meet up I’m good and ready - but like i said before as long as I’m reminded beforehand (thanx you FlyingElf ) i don’t think ill forget this time - lol - oh and incase some of you *old* people don’t have a place to stay yet I’ve got a room (already posted here... http://www.acen.org/...showtopic=25173 ) so if you want to come pass out in my room just let me know ahead of time - lol

[Kankokujin]

Sorry let me rephrase that. I meant why are we meeting so close to the date of Acen? Why not meet earlier than that?

Because some of us come from other places then Chicago? o.O

I understand the question, the key is seting it up so even people farther away can come. If anyone is intrested...I'd be more than glad to set something up.

Furthermore, If people would like, I'd be able to update through PM on either of the meet ups. Last year the meet up was a flop do to it being late. There were 3 - 4 of us that actually showed. I personaly would like more of a turnout this year

[MissMandyLynne]

oh i completly agree - i went to a forum meetup during another con and maybe 5 of us showed up - and there were like a total of 70 something that said they were interested - knowing all the details and having numbers so we can text freely to remind people sounds like a really good idea - makes the most sense anyway - and as for a pre-acen meetup im all for that too - i mean it means ill have to eithor take the train or drive my happy butt up there but im all for it

[S1NN3R]

If people want to do it. I'd need a center location... If you're up for a "pre-meet" meet, PM me with a town close to you and a date / Time you guys would like to do it.
I'll find a couple of locations and respond back to everyone

[jsieczkar]

For the at con meat and great we could just piggy back it on the forum meet and greet. It starts at 8pm, so around 11 or 12 those of us of age can break off and head some where else. This way we can meet people before the con starts, which is really nice for all the people who go solo.

Only problem with that is with a possibility of a big crowd, it will be a bit difficult to id everyone who is over 21. Thus is why I think that it needs to be met at a seperate meetup location and/or time.

Most Likely it will be around 11 at a seperate location on Fri/Sat. We'll need to wait untill closer to the con inorder to fit the most peoples schedules. As of now... Nothing is set in stone

[S1NN3R]

I've gotten very few responces back for a "pre-meet" meet is anyone else intrested? if so PM me and let me know when and where you would like to have it

[MissMandyLynne]

so whats the deal? - are we doing a pre-meet or not? - i wanna make some new anime friends

[S1NN3R]

Yes, it will take place on eather Sat 1/10 or Sun 1/11 We are still open for locations and we're still out on which date to choose

[BurninBitch]

Well Im 27 and I'll be there all by myself and need people around my age to hang with so I'm down with whatever.

Let me know!!!!

[kellen]

I'd be up for a meet at the con, although a pre-meet isn't too bad since I'm just from downstate. Last year we went and had a pretty hard time finding people our age to hang out with so I'd say this has some merit. I'm coming up there as part of a small group (three of us) and we love adventuring and meeting new people. I'll keep an eye on this and hopefully we can set something up.

Also if anyone is interested last year we discovered making martinis works quite well in the rooms at the Embassy. We will most likely be having a martini night one/both of the nights.

[nouseforaname]

Can I come?

[Lord Warhammer]

A con meetup for us old people? Sounds like fun. count me in please. as for me, I'll be driving to acen from Savannah Georgia unfortunatley a pre con gig probably won't be an option. Chose a day and a time at the con and I should be able to hit it.
