Philly AT meet?
Deeko and just one female?
I might go anyway.

I propose, if and when we meet, that we converse solely in haiku. :p

Two females (at least)! Rachael and my wife (who is a member here with 0 posts). :)

I propose that we get Perknose drunk and have him make us all Elite Members. :p

must have been like 12 to 15 months ago.

i remember we talked about it for a while but nothing came of it.

kind of surprising there hasn't been a meet in the nj/philly area recently as there have to be like over 100 ATers in this area.


i hope deeko doesnt show up...cause that might make me not want to go.

are you implying that Deeko is the reason we haven't had a meet in this area?


why did you quote me? i don't get the connection.

It's all a stupid joke having to do with deeko's rabid anti-Eagles football predictions. Of course, he is MORE than welcome, and no one is implying he's the reason the last meet failed . . . I heard YOU are. :p;)

Haha very true. I have to drive to Trenton just to find something interesting to do. You can only go see movies at the same theater, same mall so often. :p

I want everyone to back off of Deko right now. Eagles fans are allowed to be like that. Everyone in this thread (presumably 100% eagles fans) should understand that more than anyone. I read that whole thread and, while I think that he didnt handle it as well as he could have, I can't say I'd have done better. He's just another lonley eagles fan, just like the rest of us. Pot meet kettle :)

If he wants to come, I can't think of any reason why any of you should have a serious objection :p

If I recall correctly, you have to be 21 or older to go into D&B, if you're under, you need to be with a 25 year old. I remember because Rachael couldn't go in due to that rule.

Piscataway, NJ here and I am interested. Sis-in-law lives in Philly so I have a place to crash at night too.

Between New Hope and Doylestown and the surrounding area, there is good live music every night of the week, and your choicce of great live music on the weekends, as well as live theatre.

You guys just aren't looking hard enough . . . or looking at all.

I got into D&B at 19 with no problem.... but then again, I wasn't drinking. You mean they card?

I might be interested, even if Deeko goes... haha. I have no hard feelings, even if he is a cockroach Dallas fan and has wished me death in numerous creative ways.

We should go to Show N Tel. That would be a nice place for a bunch of message board nerds.

I'm just going with what I know. I've always lived to the south, west or north west of Philly, so I've never heard a group of 21 year old girls say "omg, lets go to doylestown tonight"

New Hope is beautiful, but it's not a "nightlife" town. It's a quaint/classy restaraunt area... sort of like the bulk of the main-line.

The top Philly destinations that I was aware of are in the poll.

Well he said Deko, who I assume is Bizarro Deeko? I.E., a nice person who likes the Eagles and makes sound NFL predictions?

Manyunk or Northern Liberties are the hippest places these days, but I doubt we could get everyone to meet either place.
