The Great New York City Meetup: Who Is In?

I think the term "neo-hippie" fits better. I'm not quite enough of a mainstream hater to be a hipster though.

That's fine. No man bun, beard wearing hipster allowed, we have enough of those in Brooklyn, it's like an infestation.

Their so hip it's unhip.

You can call me an Old Hippie, though.

Old Hippie.

Lol. I do have a beard though. It can be anywhere between a full on hippie beard to clean cut though. No weird hipster beards there either. Best hipster haircut I ever saw though was in a bar in our hipster section of Baltimore. It was a Rasta Mullet. Business in the front, RASTA in the back. Check it out:

If Kali had gone straight to the police none of this ever would have happened.

Someone should direct him to the thread. He would be fun to have.

LOL!! I saw you were on here, and I have to admit, I would have expected to see the face in your avatar!! Isn't that funny?

I don't think Gus will look much like his.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

Lol that's Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

Could you pick us both up?

Kali - PM me with your itinerary....we could fly in together from somewhere? Or at least arrive at the same time-ish?

a reply to: Krazysh0t

I just thought that was how you'd look - I have that picture in my head that it's you. !!!!

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

I don't mind picking you up either. I could even pick one more person up. Though I think it would get a little crowded in my Corolla if I picked up a 4th.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

You're the best!


This is reminding me of the only other internet meetup I've been on - and that was in 1996....

I went to Norway by myself, met up with my two internet pals in Oslo - we went camping, then I took the scenic train to Bergen, where another internet pal met me and I crashed at his place - the next day we rode warmbloods through the streets of Bergen, and took the Funicular to the top of the mountain/bluff thing....we also went up to his family's farm, high above Bergen, an ancient sheep-farm with rock fences and a house hundreds of years old. then I took the boat/ferry down the western fjords and met up with yet another internet friend (this one not affiliated with the other three, who were all horse-owner-forum members with me). I stayed at his family's home for the last two nights, got on a train, and went back to Oslo to fly home. That was a momentous trip indeed.

20 years ago.....hard to believe!

Mine won't definite til after September sometime. Gotta make sure my health is order so I can get back to work 1st.

a reply to: Kali74

Okay, dear....I'm not sure I can go either, but I'd like to make a tentative plan anyway.....see my above reminiscence. I am ALWAYS up for an adventure - as long as there's someone at each end who knows and is expecting me.....

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

I would love for it to pan out the we arrive at the same time
