GLBT, Fashion Models, Cosplayers, Goths, DGNers, Ex DGNers, Re-Goths, Goths for a day, the Spiritually Inclined, General weirdos, Totally normal open-minded people.

Horror, Movie and Sci Fi buffs (especially SW, ST, BSG and GoT ofc fans.), MTG players, Ingressers, Science & History buffs.

ALL ARE WELCOME!!! 

If you don't like hugs this is the wrong place.

 

Like all DGN events, this is NOT particularly kid friendly*. 
 

Hope to see you there! Please invite any and all you think might be REMOTELY  interested!

Bring a good attitude! Please help Invite! If you want a card ask!  If you really want one ask here in this topic. 

 

*like DGN itself, this is not "kid friendly".  You can bring them but No F-Bombs will be held back.  No sexual innuendos (or straight up sex talk) will be spared.  If you can't get a sitter and your kids are not SUPER well behaved leave them in a kennel at home with food & water. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is NOT the place to post about how you're going somewhere else, or doing something else or intentionally not coming or some other BS.  Thanks. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

That being said, Please help us get the word out!

 

Looking forward to seeing you!

 

If you would like one of our weekly "The Gathering" cards (Some Examples). Ask in person at The Red Apple <--- key step. 

*If you really want to make sure you get one, just ask here (not in the FB page, that will be futile).  Whoever has asked for a card (here) has priority. **

 

Cards Fine Print

**If for some reason there are not enough cards to go around  (There are typically only 7)

Note:  Ask at The Gathering for a card (first come first serve, with the following exceptions)

1. Asking in this topic means you have priority over someone who has not requested a card.  Everyone that asks here (should) get one before someone who has not asked in this topic.
2. If your name is not in this topic you will not receive a card at The Gathering until those listed here have asked and received a card at the restaurant. 
3. Cards for Permanent Benefactors will be held until it's clear they aren't coming provided they've already asked here.  (If you are unsure what this is don't worry about it or have a look here)
4. If you've asked here, just ask at the gathering and you should get a card with no problem. 
5. The order in which you ask here is vaguely "the sooner you ask the higher the priority" but it is very hard to keep track of.  If you wait until less than 24 hours before the event you risk not getting a card.

 

One card is made for everyone that asks here +2 extra (typically but not always as the extras may vary).

No one except Permanent Benefactors own a particular card number.  If you slacked off or there is a screw up with you getting the card number you wanted, hopefully, you can just trade for a particular card hasslefree.

 

Corporate summary:  Take the whole 2 minutes and ask. If it's not worth two minutes, you don't really want one.

 

It is hopeful that none of the above will be necessary as everyone who wants a card IS GOING TO SAY THEY WANT A CARD HERE RIGHT?  lol

 

Hopefully none of the above will be super necessary and there will never be any drama over the theoretically "for fun" cards.  (there never has been)      But please request a card HERE if you want one.

Me and the Monchichis should be there.  Requesting a card please and thank you.

My mother and I have this unusual way of (very slowly) saving.  Which was her idea and she does the vast majority of it but I'm trying to help.   What she does is saves dollar bills with my dads first initial on them  (B).  They aren't worth anything its just sort of a game.   I try to trade people my 1 dollar bills for theirs if they have any.   Once we save 500 then we split the money which for me is ... a win since my mom puts WAYY more into it than I do.   Although its slow as hell.  My dad has been dead for several years and we started it like a year after he died.   Just now above 400. 

 

If you have any ones laying around and could take the time to look if you have any "B"s  that is the federal reserve seal of B (which means it was printed in NY) if you could set them aside and trade me at some point it would be appreciated.  

They look like this  (The letters range from A (Boston) to L (San Fran)  B is what we are after: 

 

 

Again I'm not trying to make any money these aren't worth any more than a dollar I'm just looking to trade 1 for 1.   If you know anyone that uses cash regularly if you could ask them too that would be helpful.  (That has been my problem so far I nor most other people i know don't use cash much.)

Apparently, I was misunderstood last week from what I heard through the grapevine.  Let me say it more clearly "if only a few people care enough about the cards to post asking for one my energy level (or maybe just my enthusiasm level due to the sadness that kills it for me) is not up to the task of making them"  the added part was just an "I have asked like 100+ times, just like DGN  (have a look at the post count, I've posted more than almost everyone and I haven't even posted, not really.) 

 

I cannot be the only one doing this 'promotion" of DGN or the Cards or whatever.  I could if my health wasn't shit, but my health resources need to go to things that 1. Keep me alive  (and working on the store)  Spending 3-4 hours for less than 5 people wanting cards (enough to spend 90 seconds asking for one here that is) is depressing.  I'll keep making them but not forever.

 

That means bug people to ask and bug people to bug people in case you are unfamiliar with promotion and delegating promotion (some people just aren't).  If they don't care fine.  I'm just not up to promoting uphill these days. 

 

I'm just trying to do my best on the store, my mental/physical health and try and be fairly social as much as I can.  Although If I have to stop making the cards, Out depression I probably won't show my face much regardless.

 

Is this overly rational?  Not especially, but it is how it is.  I can only speak up for myself 10,000 times my health won't let me do it on my own indefinitely.

Troy, if you are able to come tonight, could you bring some DGN business cards.  When I tell people about the site, I would like to be able to hand them a business card.
