Real Life Release Party?

I've had several conversations out-of-game with players who all seemed to think the idea of a real life meetup for the release of the game would be fun. I wanted to know who would be down for that. Since there are obviously users all over the (real) world, we could do several regional parties instead of one big one. Obviously this is a little ways off, but I'm interested to hear what everyone thinks.

  • @ Laurali - I'm in Missouri. Kansas City area. I'm really not able to travel on my own (no car at the moment) or host (staying with a relative) where I live. If you are close enough by... :)

  • @FrankenPaula, awesome re: hosting. I think both MicklePickle and RoboLobo are from this general area, and I know a couple in Waco and S.A. who might not find it too long of a drive. I def. vote for prerelease:) lol

  • Now if only we could get Tiny Speck to give us a release date. :)

  • Well, heck, we can just pick our own darn date for a party, since we know it won't be for a few weeks yet, right? :) (I think somewhere in forums I saw stoot say at least not till end of July.)

  • @FrankenPaula, @Rascalmom, etc. You could probably talk me into a party. ;-) Of course, I'd have to cross the river, but I think my papers are in order. <chuckles>

    I've been perfecting my "AUS-ma-politan" recipe!

  • TKT has gone missing, unfortunately, so here's to hoping he returns.

    I have seen a lot of renewed interest in launch parties so I figured this thread would be useful.

    As I stated before, I am a Meetup organizer and might be able to help set something up for a lot of folks, here!

    And anyone interested in hosting West L.A.?!! Lmao

  • Can you do a Meetup for the Kansas City metroplex?

  • Living in Vancouver,would rather be in Tiny Speck office sharing cool beers with the devs lol.

  • Lucky foo'! (or in San Fran' doing the same!)
    Posted 16 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Fokian -- I probably could, yeah. If anything, I could create a Meetup group specificaly for Glitch the week of launch (I still have two Meetup group spaces available), and set up simultaneous Meetups around the world! Lol
    Posted 16 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh. Cool! I know @Laurali is in my area, but I don't know who else. :(

  • No sorry the official opening party has been scheduled in my back garden. Coaches have been arranged to pick you up from Bangkok airport to my house. Feel free to pet and water my trees but don't nibble or squeeze the wild elephants or crocodiles that inhabit the area.
    Thanks

  • @ ghost: I love beer and I love Vancouver and I love glitch---oh and love you too---lol! I'd jump on a plane if ts holds a launch party open to glitchers:)

  • DC person here! I'd be happy to come. We could create Eventbrite meetings. Make it official. A place in downtown DC or Baltimore would be best. Somewhere funky, Glitch-like.

  • Vancouver: Alibi Room?
    Posted 16 months ago by chicgeek Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Spellbound, what about Kramer's Books in Dupont Circle?
    Posted 16 months ago by Feylin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Feylin - it's not particularly spacious, though, is it?
    Posted 16 months ago by jasbo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh my... OK... Vancouver party at the Alibi Room - and maybe we can get Tiny Speck to join us & sponsor a barrel of IPA.

    [Quick plug here for the Beer Loving Glitches group: http://beta.glitch.com/groups/RHVQPJ3A0H82O0P/]

  • Cerulean I'm outside LA (thousand oaks) for the next three weeks - then back to VT where I don't think there's anyone else- so if it was in that time period I might be able to help but I don't think we're that close to launch. I did like Striatic's idea of basically a video conference though.

  • Jasbo-  the tables are tiny, yes. They have actually a large dining room when they open it all up in warm months. They cram a lot of tables in there!  However when I've been there with a group, they are extra accommodating for us.    Plus it seemed like a Glitch sort of place!   

    Or we could just picnick in the actual Dupont circle.

  • I think Sheepy also mentioned one of the Teaisms as a possibility.

  • Chicago/Midwest folks, whaddaya think? Whose wifi can we overload?

  • i think i may be the only colorado glitch...

    still, i'd probably be down to drink a bottle or two of wine and act a fool in front of my webcam for the cause.

  • Ooh. I guess id be at the LA party.this really could be fun, maybe wirg webcams to the otger glitch parties as well!
    Posted 16 months ago by Jia-pop Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Teaism is delicious!  I'd go there too!

  • @Jennyanydots@Lilith,@serfer0

    Sweet, More glitches in this city then I thought. I'm up for a Chicago Bash.

  • I'm Midwest, but Chicago-land is a little too far for me. :(
    Posted 16 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • How many of you live in Buenos Aires, like I do? :D
    Posted 16 months ago by Ximenez Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Some_Random_Guy, there's a Glitches In Chicago group, but it's pretty much just me, Lilith, and eight silent people. If we have a meet here, Simone's is very Glitch-y, but I dunno about internets there.

    @Fokian, mebbe we could meet in the middle? I know there's other midwest-y types around... f'rinstance, honey chile is in Indy. The crossroads of Shampoo-Banana, perhaps? Us carless Chicagoans will have to figure out how to get elsewhere if it's not here, though...

  • I have no car.
    Posted 16 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Re: Chicago

    If I can make it and have a good connection, I can access the game from almost anywhere. But, no offense to everyone, we need to find a bit of a central hub for a bash.

  • I'd be down for a Bay Area launch meetup if we can find a place in the middle that's not too hard to get to via BART or whatever. I have all my shots, promise, and I might make cupcakes!
