Gbatemp Meetup?

[Schlupi]

Hello, Tempers. I came up with an idea and would want you guys to hear me out.

I used to frequent Newgrounds (loved the flash videos, some quality work there) and they would do meetups every once in a while, where people within an area would come together and hang out "IRL" to get to know each other better.

If a shitty, asshole filled, shady forum like Newgrounds could pull it off, you think we could?

I say it would be fun to hang out with fellow Tempers who love video games, in some central location for a day. Get to know them better. Maybe even make some new friends.

I live in Chicago, and don't have a car, but I have a U-Pass (unlimited rides around city and outskirts for college students here) and can go just about anywhere in the city.

What do you guys think? I know some people would not even feel comfortable doing this and I understand. I am just tossing out the idea.


Maybe if enough people are interested it could actually happen.

Well that was the goal of the Temper Map:

The problem is GBAtemp's community is so widely divided geographically that its hard to get enough of them together to really make for a "meetup."

I'll have to fly to America and that's not gonna be cheap.

Btw, you might want to have this moved to the General Off-Topic chat. No one takes the EoF seriously.

 

[Schlupi]

Ahh. Why the hell did I post it here? I though I DID post in in the Off topic. >_>

Ill ask for it to be moved. Thanks.

 

[Schlupi]

Topic moved.

Now that it can be seen by the people on the front page... bump.

There have also been a handful of meetups in the past:

Shaun and Costello's trip across the US in 2008 being the one that comes to mind.

 

[Blood Fetish]

I would love to meet all of you and give you big hugs.

 

[nryn99]

sadly, as i look @ the temper map. there's only one temper close to me. but after 1 or two years, maybe i can have a stable job and fly around.

Buy me a round trip flight, somewhere to sleep (doesn't matter if it's a couch or sofa), some beer, and one blanket, and I'll meet up with you Schlupi.

 

[Kwartel]

I had an meetup already with CamulaHikari and Isabelyes~ Does that count?

 

[Vidboy10]

Actually, I think some meet ups in the Toronto and Vancouver area would work.
We have a lot of members from here and there.

I also think it would be pretty cool idea if you would have a meet up in the UK due to it being a small country.

 

[prowler]

meet up in the UK due to it being a small country.

Aha, it is small.
DeadLocked lives in the same town as me and Danny600kill lives about an hour away from me.

But I think most tempers that live in the UK are around the London area.

 

[Paarish]

Several people live quite close to me... can't remember all of them though.

That would be fun xD

 

[Sausage Head]

Only if the meeting takes place in North Korea /eof

No. It would be useless.
Dear Lord Sausage LXIX lives too far away to come to America.
