I`m off to New York

Arriving Saturday 19th August evening and leaving Monday 21st evening

Anyone fancy meeting for a beer :nod:

And directions for any good game stores/flea markets would be appreciated :thumbsup:

 

The Peculiar Pub is rather nice (supposedly over 500 beers available, 30 odd on tap). Wish I could stop for a few, but busy all that weekend!

 

If you come up to Orange County, let me know heh. Granted, im only 18 so it limits the beer drinking, but bleh

 

Was just looking at Orange County to see how far to visit OCC, but looks a bit far on such a short trip with no means of transport :-(

Also have a spare XBox Debug if anyone in NY interesed will save on postage (sorry mods) can do a deal :thumbsup:

 

Rent a car. pick up local newspapers and go upstate new york for garage sales, flea markets etc.

 

OCC is about a mile or two from my house Its right out the driveway from my brothers apartment

 

So you could pick me up a hat/baseball cap then ;-)

 

Bring ice. It's %^&$@#$ 84 degrees right now at five in the morning on the east coast!

 

It`s been like that here for weeks as well

 

lol snapped a picture out the window of the car when we went to pick up some dinner

 

I went to a really cool videogame store in Chinatown. It had tons of imported stuff (systems, games, etc.) and some rarer games (AES, for instance). Some of it seemed kinda overpriced, but they had a big case of Japanese Saturn games for pretty reasonable prices and there was probably other good stuff I didn't notice because I was kind of in a hurry. I wish I had looked there longer. I don't remember exactly what it was called or where it was, but it was the only game store I saw when I was there (Chinatown) and it was near an intersection of several streets. If you go there you'll probably find it.

 

No one told me about this

This will take care of most of my Sunday :nod:

 

Well off tomorrow :dance:

Shame no one can meet for a beer :shrug:

Shame I am slunmming it as well :nod:

Good luck with security!

 

Yeah you'll really be roughing it on that plane. ;-)

Enjoy your trip! Let us know how the nintendo world store is, if you go.

 

Well i`m back, was really hot about 85 for the 2days I was there

Went to the Nintendo Store




Usual stuff, games,t-shirts, but some interesting items in some display cabinets. One had about 50ish different SP`s, one had the original Nintendo computer



Another had some kit signed by Shiggsy on a recent visit. You could buy some of the T-Shirts but at about $70 a go....to steep!!!!




There was a screen with Mario on it, which you cuold tall to, great for the kids. Sorry for the quality as taken on my phone
