NYC ASVS/SD.N LOTR Meetup!

One of the fruits of my visit to Rob last month is a plan to get some geeks together to check out the Return of the King when it comes out. If this sounds at all like something you'd like to get a piece of, check out this link for more info:

Let me know if anyone has questions or suggestions... Rob and I will update the site and maybe this topic as plans either solidify or fall apart.

I live here so HELL YEA!~Jason
Edit: I would choose Ziegfield if they show it. They have advance ticket sale and IIRC on-line too . They have that giant screen and popcorn and drinks are sold at the front of the seatings too.

As always I'm in, though driving up might be a tad bit tricky. I will almost certainly have to work that morning, still I'll be up there even if I have to double the speed limit the whole way to make it.

You're nuts, man. The Ziegfield is going to be beyond crowded and probably sold out by the time we get around to preordering.

Well, that's a good bit away, so I may be able to wrangle the money to make the trip. No guarantees on that.

I might be able to make it

Worth a shot.

Sounds like a gathering is taking place, almost like an Ent moot.

Count me in.

aronkerkhof · Post by **aronkerkhof** » 2003-09-13 08:35pm

Ent moot? Well, if you've ever seen me and Rob, that's not too far off the mark. Dye Rob green, and he's Treebeard right there.

Anyway, glad to see the responses. As far as hotels are concerned, we might try to get a package deal. Stress might. If not, there are usually good deals to be had at hotwire.com and its ilk.

Or you could just crash at Stravo's

I may be able to accomodate one or two folks as well.

phongn · Post by **phongn** » 2003-09-13 09:14pm

Actually, we could attempt a Florida ASVS/SDN and perhaps even SB meet for this thing. Orlando or Tampa Bay, maybe?

PrinceofLowLight · Post by **PrinceofLowLight** » 2003-09-13 11:46pm

That'd be pretty cool to actually see you psychoes in person. Mind if I bring some non-boarders?

Post by **fgalkin** » 2003-09-14 01:02pm

I might show up, if I don't feel lazy.

Have a very nice day.

Yeah, I assume non-boarders are welcome, so long as they can get tickets, unless Rob says otherwise. BTW Rob, when do you think we can find out what theaters are playing RotK? That will be crucial to making a final selection of place and time.

I think I'll update the site tomorrow with who is coming so far and who thinks they might come.

Yeah, I think non-boarders would be cool. As for showtimes and stuff...hmm...I'm still thinking October/November. We'll just have to keep an eye on lotr.net.

Well if Rob and Lurker are coming across the pond then I'll probably co-ordinate with them about getting another hostel in the city (they are damn cost effective). Almost certainly they would all have room enough for those on cheap budgets and I mgiht be able to wrangle the mini-van for this trip.

Yes, I am hard core.

Actually, I have a very good "real life" friend in NY too, so it will be a multipurpose visit.

You are not allowed to involve "real-life" with anything related to an ASVS/SD.net gathering. it is specifically forbidden by the charter we wrote during the first gathering.

I've barely spoken to you, but I like you already.
