NYC Xanga Happy Hour with The Xanga Team!
The Real World: Xanga EditionIn case you didn’t read any of the 302841 updates around here, there was a large Xanga meet up in NYC this past weekend. So much happened this weekend that I know I won’t be able to cover everything in one post. Luckily for you all, there was a lot of Xangans that were there taking pictures and are in the process or already started posting about the weekend. I will start collecting all the updates and put it all in my next entry for your convenience.
I will save the actual Xanga Meet on Saturday for next post. For now, let me tell you about FRYDAY!
Everytime I come to NYC I always plan on visiting Xanga HQs, but it just never worked out…until this weekend. I coordinated with Eugenia to make sure it had to happen this time around, and it did!
Swtaznxtc90, Hello_Bianca and me in front of HQs. Finally!I met up with John (sorry for missing your text! Don’t shut me down!), Bob, Marc, Jessica, and Eugenia at their office briefly before we headed off to Bon Chon Chicken. Why? To get ready for our happy hour!
It was actually Eugenia’s idea to do a happy hour for the Xanga Team and Xangans. Originally, it was only going to be a small gathering, but some how it ended up being 25+ people =O!!!
FlipGuy31O (ever so serious) and me with Marc (yes, he’s really tall)! It was great chatting with you and hearing about Xanga from your perspective. I’m glad you were impressed with the meet!Random group shots:
Once everyone settle in, it was time to really get the party started!
Bob was quite the bad influence on us Xangans! That guy sure knew how to guzzle down the drinks and he made sure to encourage others to keep up with him. By the end of the evening, I would say more than a few of us were having a good time. What do you think? (Some shots borrowed from lcrazyaznl, whotakeththecoke and Cakalusa):
It’s starting! Partyin’ partyin’ YEAH!
That chicken tasted SO good
Even the TV guy had to watch and go damn!
To the left to the left! (wait, I mean to the right?)
OMG, an empty drink! MUST FILL UP!!!
I guess we just turned this restaurant into a club!
Now that’s how you do sexy!
Well, this can be taken out of context
TheBigShowatUD is powerful! …IN MY PANTS
Look at that thirsty man
Yohkom makes it rain!
The sexiness is spreading!!
Don’t mind the redness. I was just um, hotOh, and don’t get me started on what happened later that evening…
Cakalusa, you can take over from here! Although, you did say you don’t remember much of the evening…Thank you again, Xanga Team, for setting up this Happy Hour and for covering most of the bill! Definitely a memorable evening!
Cheers to Xanga!!

LOL! damn bro, you got the asian flush =)
great pics man!
It’s an evening (and weekend) I will never forget, that’s for sure. Luckily for Timmy, he doesn’t remember a thing!
Marc! I love him. You guys had such a good time! Makes me happy!
That’s pretty awesome
Glad you had fun..maybe one day I can go to a xanga meet. Lol
Fun pictures!
I’m extremely bummed I missed out. This MUST become a regular event! (just sayin’)
Fun times
I like the part where you recap the events that transpired over the weekend.
Looks like you guys had a sexy time! Such flattering pictures of everyone LOL
Haha! Great recap of the happy hour! Although I see you guys really partied after we left.
I think the last third of the photos are hilarious!
Ahahaha! I wish I could’ve been there – sounds like so much nerdy fun!
So much hotness in one entry lol. you guys had way too much fun! I hope to make it to one of these some day.
Awesome pics! Good times!
I really like the group pic.
Mad fun!
Fun times!
LOL @ Flip! HAHAHA XD Looks like you guys had fun! I wish we could meet up one day! ;P
ARG.
I am sad I couldn’t make it. I’m doomed to loneliness.
Another well organized event- good job and good shots!
LOL
I remember reading the update about last xanga meet and how I swore to myself I wouldn’t miss it again.
TADA. Go me. ^_^
Digital people metting in a digitally organised Rl place, covering the whole thing with many digital cameras….and then posting it online…futuristic
@eugenia - I just added a few more shots! Thanks again for your help with this. I’ll have to treat you guys out next time!
Looks like a lot of fun was had. Awesome!
hahhaha that looks so fun!
JEALOUS!
Man, after we have this baby I’m hoping to finally organize an L.A. Xanga meetup for this summer. But only if you can make it Alex. Seems it’s not an official meetup if you’re not there. 
best weekend ever
…. Damn. Looks like the hotel party after my graduation party / Mini Xanga Meetup will have to be a very hot mess to try to top this lol.
Flipguy cracks me up with his faces!
This makes me love xanga even more
If I start getting random friend requests, I guess I’ll know where they came from
I still got more to editheheh
Wait, wait, wait, i’m thinking of something…..wait LOL
Hey, I could have sworn there were more scandalous pics of you being spanked. What happened to those?! =P
you keep outing me on xanga xp
@Utoppia@datingish - you’re right! I remember now b/c i posed for those LOL
@Utoppia@datingish - @Yohkom - I thought those were on Jeff’s camera =O
I’m so jealous looking at all these pictures! AND I WAS THERE! LOL
@Roadlesstaken - i dont remember =p
These events are a part of xanga history, im reiterating what someone else said in another post. If you want ne to come please provide me with the following services: a personal travel guide, a proper introduction, and a female escort. The rest will come naturally.
I’m still disappointed I didn’t notice that was Jessica from Lovelyish. I just couldn’t place the face!
Looks like so much fun! I’m sorry I missed out!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wish I had gone. I’m 2 for 4 for attending meetups in the past year, hopefully you NYers or even MidAtlantic-ers put something together…give me a reason to road trip!!!!!!!!!… from new jersey.
That’s my lucky shirt, now.
so who kicked it in the front seat…and sat in the back seat! haha
Marc isn’t that tall you are just that short!! Three cheers for Asian Glow!! =D
Oh man, seems like a blast! Glad you guys had a good timee!
Great commentary! And, yes, collecting them updates to put them all together would be quite helpful. Thank you! And I’m glad you all had so much fun. A happy hour, indeed.
Fantastic! Absolutely no incriminating evidence of my presence.
yay!
the last to second pic seems as if you recovered from a slap in the face hahah
@ThePrince - I’m allergic to alcohol, but for this event I’ll make an exception!
@airbornerose - Just certain nights he can’t remember haha
@seedsower - He was great to talk to! We talked for an hour and I still felt like there was much more to say.
@Hinase - We have to make that happen!
@edlives - I guess it shall! Until next year!

Oh man.. this looks so epic! Truly disappointed that I missed it. I spent my entire Sat and most of my Sat night working on my Electronic Circuits take-home midterm. T___T I hope we get to have another one this summer!!!
@xkthily - what?! electronic circuits?? those things are the bombs! …or could be part of a bomb…
by the way, I was really hoping to see what John looked like…I figured he’s got to be a little more meatier than figure sticks, ya know?
@Trigger821 - Well I am learning how to implement mosfet transistors as switches in an integrated circuit.. They can be made into switches for bombs.. hahahaha not that I would ever do such a thing.. =P
Sooooooo jealous man.
Next year, you bring me. =D
@Roadlesstaken - You’ll never get to me. I AM MADE OF STONE
Partied so much you changed identities with swtaznxtc90. That was a big group of Xangans!
This was definately one of the neatest things I’ve ever seen. Hopefully one day, I’ll be able to attend one. Nice job on the reporting too!
@swtaznxtc90 - Definitely up there.
@Cestovatelka - Throw in ton of alcohol and I’m sure you can achieve that!

Glad the meet-up went so well, Alex. While there was no way I’d be able to make it, I think you do quite a service to the community by organizing these kind of events.

Looks like a blast! Makes me jealous! Btw, you’re looking very handsome Alex

@pasaway4eva - So I heard Rosalie! Glad you were around more this meet. I wish I could have joined you that night.
@kawazitou - Thank ya!
@Roadlesstaken - What does he look like?
@addyorable - Picture Bob without glasses and hair and you pretty much have a good idea what he looks like.
@Roadlesstaken - Coolness
Man! As soon as I turn 21 I have got to go to one of these. Haha. Glad ya’ll had fun =]
@textilerex - Oh you don’t have to be 21 to go to one of these things, although it does make certain activities easier to do!

Great Post!!! xanga should do a Silicon Valley / Bay Area Happy Hour!!!
@RestlessButterfly - My bad!
@jamesguanzon - Perhaps, we’ve done Bay Area meets before!
Absolutely amazing.
It’s wonderful to see EVERYONE having a good time and smiling!
From these pictures and the ones on facebook, it looks like quite the weekend. Chris never fails to disappoint!
@ArmyWife4Life2007 - Makes me happy too! I tried not to let people feel left out.
@Utoppia@datingish - The photos are on facebook now
@CareyGLY - Ahhh tell me about it. I still feel like I’m completely recovered yet.
@Roadlesstaken - Well maybe next year, if it’s in NYC again, you can make me feel not left out. I’m dying to come, haa.
Looks like a bunch of molestation happened in this trip.
@sonychak - Right up your alley!
OH PS: You guys seriously need your only Xanga reality TV series. It would be off the chain fo sho.
I wish I remembered Friday night a little more. haha
@reejiet - That would be AWESOME. Get Rosen to fund the pilot!
@fLiPgUy31O - I remember it quite well. TOO well.
That flush does make you look like a Twilight vampire lol
@Roadlesstaken - Lol, whatever, Alex! By the way love the Rebecca Black reference. Nice to see you’re still infected. Lol.
You are seriously the king of meetups, Alex.
I feel like you’ve met, basically, everyone on the site.
@TaylorAnnie - We haven’t met yet, so I still got a long way to go!
@Roadlesstaken - Truth. But we’ll make it happen. I promise!
