Question though: who all still plans on coming?


I'm still coming. I personally wouldn't mind going all the places except the Nintendo world store. Driving and parking in the 8 bit and up area is going to suck, so I'd like to keep that to a minimum.

Are we meeting at 8 bit @ 12 noon? Barcade opens at 2PM on saturdays.

Yeah, East Village isn't the best for parking. I thought you wanted to try to find parking in Brooklyn? I'm down for whatever - I live close to the Nintendo store, so if no one wants to do that, that's no problem at all for me. I guess lets meet at 8bit at noon and decide if how long? The other game store is also nearby, so we don't have to do much but walk to get there.

You live in Manhattan now (being close to the nintendo store)? I thought you moved elsewhere in Brooklyn? I would park in Brooklyn if a group was going to subway in together, otherwise it would probably be a waste.

I'm going to take the Williamsburg bridge in so it's free and close to the village. Hopefully around noon on a saturday it won't be too bad. :roll: :lol:

Barcade is easy to drive to once you go back into brooklyn. If i remember you can get to Union ave super easy off metropolitan ave.

Oops, that came out wrong. I mean I live closer to the Nintendo store than people, for example, than anyone coming from outside NYC. :P I do live in Brooklyn, and my gf and I will be coming from Bay Ridge. Whatever you want to do, though. You still have my number, right?

A series of rather unfortunate events has had me tied up for a very long time, and I may have to prepare for more of it in the near (and far) future.

Hope everyone stays warm and fuzzy for the day. Image
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
