Sorry OP I'm going to use this thread to again ask mods: why do you delete California threads when this one will stay up till next week?

Hmm. I live in Boston. How do I know that participants won't be painfully autistic?

>>10877353
You say "I have to go now" and leave you DORK

Have you ever been to a meet-up? I imagine that they're generally very awkward—especially when consisting of 4chan users. To quote the great Groucho, I'm not so sured I'd "want to be a part of any club that will accept me as a member."

Those who post here tend to be at once deeply narcissistic as well as profoundly insecure: people like that rarely make easy company.

But then again, loneliness is a good motivator to behave cordially. So that helps.

>>10877675
There have been quite a few Boston ones & they're way more normal than anyone expects.

>>10877696
Do you mind describing the scene? How many peeps? What was discussed? Any connections made? Other relevant info

>>10877353
It's a good time.

>>10877728
It's usually 3-4 people, most we had was 8. Talk about a lot of different books, been recommending things to each other and it's become a sort of mini-book club/ friend group.

>>10877752

>>10877401
lol ikr

>>10877401
I said "how do I know," not "what do I do"

How old are you people? I'm interested but don't want to stick out because I'm 19

>>10877809
pretty sure the range is like 19-27

>>10877728
An overlit bookstore cafe with roaches. Average of 4 people. We discussed fucking books... Some cool people. No other relevant info.

>>10877960
see, if any of the attendees have an attitude even vaguely resembling yours, I don't want to go

Seriously, why do you have to be so shitty?

>>10877227
nexr nyc meetup when?

>>10878174
it's probably better that you don't come. you're just a socially awkward little bitch looking for something to blame, so you don't feel bad about yourself while you sit in your room and jerk off to anime feet as usual. his attitude. what about your attitude? your loss, you little cunt.

has there ever been a Toronto meetup?

>>10878705
No, and there never will be.

>>10878695
>it's probably better that you don't come. you're just a socially awkward little bitch looking for something to blame

>well i don't want you coming to my party anyhow

You sound like a child, you know that

I mean really, I ask for feedback, and some anon decides to be an acerbic cunt. I point that out, and now he stupidly pretends to be someone else and begins aggressively insulting me.

Why? Why are you like this? I entreat you to quit being such a punk bitch and grow up—or go fuck a hooker, because you're clearly not getting laid

>>10878705
Lets not.

>>10878759
I never imagined I'd see this much drama on this thread. You're really taking it hard huh

>>10878803
I wasn't personally pissed, but I was dumbfounded. I felt like I invoked the fury of a chihuahua or something, and so my natural tendency to toil took hold and I shared my presumably accurate thoughts. I'm not going to not say what I think because I think it might make it look like I'm upset. That'd be silly on a board meant for discussion—even as much as laconism is praised

Also drama is entertaining, hence: shitposting and the like. Our lives are generally nerfed and anodyne, so many of us create our own conflict. It's why I received a formal sexual harassment complaint from a male coworker several months ago.

>>10878174
If that's being shitty, I'm not sure you'd enjoy it. No hostility intended...

>>10877227
i used to visit a friend in boston and we'd go to sail loft to pick up chicks

>>10877439
I was thinking the exact same thing, wtf! Were you from la, or were you the one from Bakersfield? Central coaster here

>>10878823

>>10882114
Is Ronald cool?

>>10881058

>>10882114

>>10882202

>>10882313

>>10882490
Did he call you a liar?

>>10881058
I'm in there every Saturday. I prefer commonwealth though, mostly because I have more a rapport with the employees.
