Day 5: Meet-up Day
The fifth and final day, *sighhhh*. Most people actually left early in the morning but a select few didnt have flights until late in the day and or the following morning so heres a few photos from that last day. Not a whole lot happend. Oh the Eagles failed to make the playoffs, if you want to call that important.
At this point mostly everyone left with the exception of Andrea, myself, Tom Fulp, Tim, Bob, Rob, Mike, Swain, Nogfish, BBm, NegativeONE, TimFrommeyer, KaynSlamdyke, and EyelovePoozy. That may sound like alot of people but considering we had once a group of 70 the previous day, our numbers were alot lower. Anyway fast forward to the evening, we headed back to the Sports Cafe where the Bob's beloved Philadelphia Eagles were being broadcast. They were having a playoff game against the Arizona Cardinalls and its a fairly big deal if you are into any of those two teams. The winner went to the Super Bowl yadda, yadda. Anyway we watched that game and then headed over to a club called Sound.
That's a Wrap.
We eventually stayed out WAY too long at Sound, so much so that me, Nogfish and Poozy missed our flight. But it was fun nonetheless and probably the most memorable birthday/meetup I've had in a long time. A meetup of this size and calibre will be pretty hard to live up to in the future and even the photos only are able to capture a sliver of the whole ordeal but it gives a good perspective on Newgrounds and how it differs from other Flash portals and even other websites in general. That said, I shall see you back across the pond next year. Cheers!
