    I'm going to use this thread as a catch-all going forward for what will hopefully be somewhat regular get togethers.

    There's two ideas for the next one right now- Englishtown flea market and AnimeNext.

    I'm planning on going to AnimeNext anyway, most likely on the Saturday (June 9). If anyone wants to set up some around Englishtown before that throw out some ideas and we'll see what we can get rolling.

    I'm looking at this Friday June 8 for AnimeNext. Maybe not a hugely TF-themed event, but come down, hang out, maybe play some Cards Against Humanity.

    We'll probably set up something for the Englishtown flea market a week or two later.

    Well AnimeNext was a blast, even though it was just me and NurseMidnight. Saw a bunch of Japanese Animated in the dealer room, and one booth had a handful of G1 figures including a loose complete Bruticus for... $300. Yep.

    Anyway, next meetup is targeted for Saturday June 23rd and the Englishtown flea market.
    Flea Market | Englishtown Auction | Home
    I'm thinking around 9-10am. Chime in if you're coming!

    Yeah, the prices on those Transformers were nuts, along with the flickering of the lights to clear out the dealer room.

    I'm up for the flea market.

    Gonna set the time for this Saturday at 9am. Weather looks to be beastly this week so hopefully we'll dodge the worst of it.

    They changed the building colors around. I'm gonna say the second building which should be yellow and it has a collectible store with all kinds of toys from the 70s-90s including some overpriced Transformers. Its weird I go almost every week and dont pay attention to the building colors LOL

    Ok, we'll aim to meet around that collectible store. I'll wear my Aperture Labs shirt, keep an eye out for it.

    I haven't been pimping this weekend since it's been a busy week for me, but is anyone still interested?
