The night, Feb 18th
The year, 2012
The place, The GAF
The guest of honor, Evilore.
Yes, it's been exactly 5 years since the infamous GAF meet-up that saw Evilore and many NYCers having fun on a public video feed in Times Square.
It remains perhaps the most prolific of the NYC meet-ups to date, and thought it would be a great time to celebrate the occasion!

MeetUp FAQ - Shamelessly stolen
How long have these things been around?
See the OP here for a documented list of all the NYC GAF meet ups to date: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=170651251&postcount=1
But I'm not a social butterfly and prefer to stay home to x activity. Strangers are weird.
”Do not be too timid or too unsure about your actions. All life is an experiment." Yeah, we don't know you and have never met but if you want to get over that, the best way to do it is to go out and socialize. We were all strangers at some point before we met.
I'm banned and/or stopped posting. Can I still come out?
The more, the merrier so feel free to show up!
How many people typically come out?
Typically 10-25 people; it consists of regulars and new comers. We've had GAF members visiting the city from abroad come out and join us as well. If you're not a fan of big groups, like GAF itself, those big groups split up into smaller groups of discussion so no worries.
How long do these meetups last? Do you peeps always meetup at one location or move around the city?
In a nutshell, they go as long as they want so long as there's still a party left long after many people bail. The first location is the jump off point to other places once a decent party shows up. We've usually ended up in White Castle or walking several blocks north through the city during the wee hours of the night.
Do I have to drink to be cool with you all?
Nobody will pressure you to drink so if it's water or soda you want, more power to you. But if you drink, make sure you keep an eye on how much you consume because we preferably want you to get home safe. A couple of GAF members have been unfortunate victims of muggings after we parted ways from past meetups.
But I'm poor and I'm trying to be frugal! Rent isn't cheap you know!
We all have bills to pay and are willing to take some of our time to meet up; one night out isn't going to kill your budget. If anything, someone will buy you a drink and/or share food.
Oh no! It's too cold/hot to be outside! You guys are crazy!
Dress accordingly then. While weather is something to keep an eye on, it's not a factor so the show must go on.
What if I want to play the latest hot video game that came out?
Turn off your console/PC, bring your portable gaming device, and let's play something with multiplayer.
This is going to be really awkward isn't it?
It's only awkward if you make it awkward for yourself. You're welcome to bring name tags or get creative.
Where I can go air out my grievances about how expensive NYC is when there isn't a meetup?
The NYC GAF OT.
