NYC Meet Stuff: Quick Plan Summary

Posted by GoryBlizzard - April 24th, 2012


Today is the day: day 0 of the NYC meet.

If you're going, try to be at Grand Central's main concourse in front of the defunct ticket counters/under the New Haven Line timetable/near the Apple store by around 3 PM but definitely no later than 4 PM, because that's when we'll head to the karaoke bar. The karaoke bar address is:

Karaoke Duet 48
304 East 48th Street
New York, NY 10017

It's on 48th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue, but it's much closer to 2nd Avenue and on the south side of the street. You must pay $15 to me before going in--cash only. Any more you decide to pay will go towards the final tip/gratuity. Also let me know if you plan on going to the bar directly, which I know is the case with the NG staff so far.

For day 1 of the meet (Saturday, May 5th), we will meet again at the same part of Grand Central, but this time starting at 12 PM and we'll leave the area at around 1 PM (maybe at around 1:20 PM--we'll play it by ear) where I'll take everyone to Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island by subway and walk over to Luna Park. It's strongly recommended that you bring at least $20 for rides and whatnot and however much else you feel you need (I'd recommend at least $10 more--at least $30 altogether should be a good enough cushion).

It looks like it may rain on Saturday and if we determine that the rain is severe enough, we won't go to Coney Island and will instead go here as we did in the 2010 meet:

300 Bowling Center
Pier 60/23rd & West Side Hwy
New York, NY 10011

Pay close attention and contact me if you want to know where we'll end up, and especially if you can't initially meet up at Grand Central.

PM me if you don't already have my number and think you might need it for the meet.

In other news, I'm sick of feeling all of the annoying random electrical impulses throughout my lower and upper body.

Time to take my medication like an old fag.

Here's a picture of the part of Grand Central's main concourse we'll meet at.

Can't wait. :)

How much are the rides on Coney Island like the ferris wheel and roller coaster?

The Wonder Wheel is definitely $6 in a mostly kiddie-oriented area. The Cyclone should be 8 credits (each credit costs $1, but if you put $35 or more on a card, that usually comes with bonus credits).

The way the pricing structure generally works is that rides designated as "Mild Thrill" are 3 credits, "Moderate Thrill" rides are 4 credits and "High Thrill" rides are 6 credits or higher. The highest "High Thrill" ride I can think of is the Sling Shot which is 20 credits and is in the Scream Zone. I don't know about everyone else, but personally, I'm only going to go on about 5 rides, so I'll put $20 or close to that on one card.
