*FREE*FREE*FREE*FREE*FREE*FREE*

AnimeNYC brings you…

A FREE OVERNIGHT NON-STOP ANIME PARTY with MUSIC, AND MORE!!!

In Stamford, Connecticut not far from the AnimeNEXT convention
From Saturday Oct. 4 to Sunday Oct. 5th.

This is for everyone! People either going or not going to AnimeNEXT

There is transportation available from both NYC and AnimeNext.

To get an idea of what you are getting into check out this link to see this UNBELIEVEABLE HOME THEATER SYSTEM!!!
(110" screen with a state of the art sound system, "Krell and Runco Baby!!")

Check out these two folders:
Chris's CT home theater setup
CT Anime Marathon - 6.27.03

Furthermore, this WILL NOT!!! be just a Zombie session were all we do is watch anime after anime. We WILL watch lots of anime BUT we will also be kicking back and (gasp!) actually getting to know people i.e. TALKING!!!. We also might go through some J-Pop/Rock music perhaps some anime soundtracks, and oh yeah... BRING your laptops because Christopher has a highspeed wireless network in the house(can you say LANgame).

For those of us GOING to AnimeNEXT:
Think of this as an extension of the con. Someplace to go… if… well… the con just didn’t quite… you know… satisfy your anime needs.
Someplace to watch *more* anime when the con is over. Perhaps even something you just bought! A place to relax, hang out, and sleep(FOR FREE) before beginning the next hectic day of the con. Besides what the HELL are you going to do in Rye,NY at 2AM???

For those of us NOT GOING to the con:
Think of this as a FREE mini-con/party. Watch anime on a screen better than many theaters, hang out, and again actually get to know people with whom you talk to online.

We did this before in June but took it to the extreme of three full days. We watched anime(of course), laughed, party'd, and ate straight from Friday to Sunday. NO ONE SLEPT!!! (okok some of us passed out but there's a difference). About 30 people showed up at all hours of the day and night to join us and it was just a blast, esp cause of Christopher’s moocho moocho sweet theater rig.

So if you're interested holl'a back because the list is growing...

I like the way you think......... I was going to throw an amazing anime party too but the hotel rooms are probably not too large. I have a ddr metal pad with like 700 songs on a laptop and the hook up and a tv out. So basically it's like having an arcade in your house. I also can make a DVD with ANY anime you want on it. PM me, it would be nice to work together because people loveeeeee to ddr esp when it's free and it's like DDR EXTREME except with all the songs 1 -8th mix and about 400 more

Well everyone, since I have gotten some responses saying that they're up for a dinner, here's the info:

We'll meet in front of the Virgin Mega-store CAFE ENTRANCE!
In UNION SQUARE.
At say 8:00 pm. If this is to late let me know.

I believe the 4,5,6 and R train go there.
Just get off at the 14th Street - Union Square Station.

Unless I forget it, which has happened many times, I will have an AnimeNYC sign about the size of a piece of paper mounted on core board.
Also, as always if there is a problem call my cell: (646)591-4270
