NYC Gettogether (New Thread)

I understand and agree with rules 1 and 2. But why on earth would you not allow people to have cell phones. I have been to and hosted a ton of events, none of which have ever had this rule and have experienced a problem. I'm not sure I understand what you are concerned about. If you are concerned about people taking pictures on their camera phone, that was covered by your second rule. Are you concerned about people calling others up while at the get together and saying where they are? I just don't get it.

I'm glad to hear you are interested in setting up an event in the city. For a while I was the only one and to few people understand that these things only happen when one takes the lead, but I foresee rule 3 being a big problem for you. I would never go to an event that made me leave my primary means of communication at home. It just comes across as sketchy.

That aside, I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor. I suggest you post this thread in tk discussion as well. If you see people that are specifically in the NY area, feel free to pm them and politely gauge their interest in attending an event. I have had some success with targeted pm's, so to speak, in the past. Once you get at least a few replies, enough that you will be comfortable going forward even if no one else comes, then I would go ahead and pick a time and place of your choosing, and post it on the forum. I usually ask people to RSVP by either replying in the thread or pm'ing me in order to get a head count.

Best of luck to you.
 
You know what? Even though I don't own a cell phone, I have to agree with Baldadonis. I can understand a restriction on cell phone use in the open spaces of the party, but if you tell people they can't bring their cell phones with them at all, you're intruding on the privacy of their pockets and backpacks and purses, and for those who are not coming by car and thus don't have glove compartments to stash them in, you're requiring them to be without their cell phones, not only inside your home, but also for the trip to the party and the trip home again, a very unreasonable intrusion into their personal lives not justified by any legitimate interests of the party itself. I don't think you can legitimately exercise authority over what people have in their pockets; I think the only appropriate policy you can set for cell phones is that they can't be taken out and used in the area where the party is going on.
 
I can see where he's coming from with the "no cell phone" rule. It's a lot easier to murder people when they can't call for help.
 
As far as being "sketchy" is concerned I imagine that any first meeting would be in a very public place like a bar with a private area so there won't be any questions about it being sketchy. I am not about to open my apartment to strangers or expect them to come over after just a few emails but sure that would seem weird if that is what I offered.

How does a cell phone hurt your gathering? And one prior public meeting wouldn't take any edge off of the sketchiness of not being able to communicate with the outside world.
 
I'm in either way. Thanks Sarah. Let me know the details.

I think you got confused here. Sarah is not the OP here. She just responded to the issue I previously raised about the problem with banning cell phone use at a gathering. She is not having a gathering.
 
If you're still looking for possible munchers, I'm interested.
 
haha is there anything that can be written on this forum that does not follow a philosophical debate. how did a gathering post get this much heat?
 
looks like you will not be inviting 99 percent of the men since probably no more than 1 girl will show up as usual

Really? I simply cannot believe there's only one female ticklephile living within the 5 boroughs!😀
 
*I* know of more females in that area. I'm on the west coast. Extrapolate as you will.

You still have to create an environment wherein the female of the species is clearly shown that they're safe and respected.

Beyond that, it's helpful to find people who've already socialized within the community. Baldadonis and Sasaxrah are two such people. They've visited with many of us at NEST and in NY. They know some of these women perceived as being so mythical.

Ditch the negatives and you'll stand a reasonable chance of actually MEETING these women. If an obnoxious old man like me can, then most of you can.

Oh, and banning cell phones is not going to fly. You CAN ban photos of anyone not providing written consent provable at the time of the photo. You're in New York. Throwing down if someone points something at you should be autonomic. 😉
