NYCC 2016 - British U.S. Con noob - Qs
« on: July 31, 2016, 06:12:32 AM »
NYCC 2016 will be my first U.S. Con, also my first Con as press AND my first trip to the U.S. full stop. My house mate (not press:P) and I are looking to go at least Friday/Saturday and I'm wondering.... well a lot of things.

Firstly, any Brits here? :)

Also, I wanted to know about meet-ups etc. I'm in New York for a week and I know there'll be plenty of stuff to do whilst I'm there, but I've watched this forum and the Con going community in the lead up to SDCC and I want in, so I'm not left a total fish out of water.

Anyway, apologies if this post is in the wrong place or if it's been answered/stickied before a million times.

posted in the correct spot & welcome to the forum!

There will be meet ups- we don't have anything planed at the moment. Now that SDCC is done folks should have time to devote to planing for NYCC.  I'll start nudging folks to plan. ;)

On behalf of the New Yorkers on the board, excited you'll be visiting our city for the first time! There is, of course, a ton of things to do and one of the big upsides of NYC is a ton of things are open quite late all things considered.

Keep an eye out for meetup info over the next few weeks here.

There's also a good bagel place right near there also - Russ & Daughters.

Well I got my Press Pass through today. Less than a month to go. It all seems so surreal.
