We're having a Veeky Forums meetup in Boston. Trident Booksellers & Café on Newbury Street. Friday December 8th at 7 PM.
Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested—I'll give you more information.
Gotten a fair amount of interest so far, should be a good turnout. The last one went well.
>Why?
If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads Veeky Forums books.
>What?
Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto. Discussion, critique, even a Veeky Forums oriented rag for exercising yr writing/editing/design muscles.

Can we do one of these next semester? I'm currently getting assraped with finals/final papers right now, otherwise I'd roll up to this coffee shop with a hollowed out copy of infinite jest that has a copy of milk and honey inside to stunt on all you plebs
Robert Garcia
literally two steps ahead of you
James Harris

Also, what the Ivy League lacks in retards it makes up for with perfectly average soulless dronefolk.
Sebastian Rivera

NO SOYBOYS
Henry Jackson
Gerke: Any thoughts on Sebald? Gass: Didn’t read him. I read about 10 pages. That wasn’t just to him. But I could see the rush of this wave of popularity that is almost a death now. So I’m going to have to go back sometime when it’s calmed down and see, because sometimes they’re actually very good. And I’m very arrogant about my judgment. I don’t make mistakes. Gerke: Is that the case with David Foster Wallace too? Gass: He had great abilities. And I think he needed to tame them. I think he was so good that he should’ve wanted to be better. And he wrote some things that are going to stay around. And I wish he had stayed around and done that. He had lots of smarts too. He was unlike a lot of writers who are sort of dumb, theoretically speaking. Stanley was street-smart but intellectually? Awful. But he didn’t need to be. Pynchon’s a case. I have tried to read Pynchon with no success so far, but then I can’t read Whitman—I try. So we just have blank spots. We can’t like everything, and I don’t see any rule for it. Why should you love every woman that walks by?
Adrian Hill
I wish i could go i live in Cali
Camden Davis
REEEEEEEEE BU GET OUT
Elijah Rodriguez
The consensus in Boston is that Harvard children are on the whole rather flat, dull, or spergs. Cambridge is—excuse me—many people are saying—a big fat mess.
James Scott
hufflepuff, junior
Connor Morales
If I go to this, will I regret spending my Friday with a bunch of neckbeards? Any grills on the list?
Yeah, Harvard is where originality goes to die. Some of the grad programs and auxiliary groups are legit though.
Carter Cook
/soc/s meetups looked like a collection of spergs and on /k/s nuggetfest someone jizzed in the brownies. Can someone make photos? I want to see how the intellectual elite of 4chin does
Tyler Thompson
Picture people sitting around a table in a loud cafe yelling about Gass. That'll be it.
Joshua Green
Don't come then, who cares, desu senpai
The girls do a meetup on a different night and have a separate email chain
Justin Brown
I wish I wasn't a poor cold Irishman and left for the shores of America already
Sebastian Cox
No.

Asher Garcia
See: (????)
Henry Wood
There are plenty of retards in the Ivy League my friend
Luis Parker
*only
Robert Walker
Okay I have a date anyway so that's that. Your response suggests that it's actually not sex-segregated, which is good, nobody around here would bring pissbottles to Trident I hope
Juan Moore
idk im bringing my cumbottle
Jackson Sanders
A date. A night a shallow boring conversation. Get that V card punched so you can evolve...
Thomas Ramirez
get the sweet potato fries when you're there. the green mustard or whatever it is they come with is topnotch
Jason Johnson
will do
Asher Smith
I'm also embarrassed to run into someone I know in the company of a Veeky Forums guy who calls strangers virgins on the internet, if that makes any sense to you.
The cape codder with snakebite and sweet potato fries is a deliciously expensive meal. Also check out the Roost sometime, they recently updated their menu and their lamb burgers are way better than Joe's. Only problem is the service is slow af.
Jack Ross
wish I could, but I haven't been back to boston in a long while. when I stayed there a few years ago with my ex we went to trident every morning for breakfast/lunch and spent way too much on food that was way too good. i'll have to try roost next time i'm in town
Joseph Harris
I see. In that case you should ditch the Roost and go straight for the best: Caffe Jaffa (old) and Piattini (new).
Isaac Evans
Are there any brand name schools that have any particularly Veeky Forums communities?
Nolan Allen
I'm gonna come and take a giant fucking dab in front of you nerds
Samuel Murphy
Some seriously pedestrian recommendations. You all are students?
Juan Wood
>if that makes sense No. But I go to BU....this is about fragile reputations and losing face?
Jaxson Roberts

Michael Anderson

It should be at Charlie's Kitchen. Fucking Newbury street tryhard numales.
Tyler Russell
Honestly I love this kind of talk, it's so douchey
What're some good white wines? Where can we go dancing? Have you been to Portugal? Meet me and the boys at the new Lolita's at 10
Wyatt Smith
Last time it was 99% hipster girls with big glasses and tiny tiny moorings
Nolan Roberts
>Cambridge
Jaxon Sanders
>not living in Cambridge Sucks to be you. Oh well, my gf and I are decorating gingerbread houses tonight anyway.
Samuel Roberts

You're a faggot and if I ever see you in the Quad I'll crack your skull open.
Blake Morales
Okay big shot. Meet me there. 3 PM. I'm 6'1 with short blonde hair. I'll be wearing a Canada Goose jacket.

Owen Nelson

Robert Morgan
I've seen you swanning around the place before, I'll be there you great tit. You best be ready to duck.
Evan Ramirez
If that's true, then you know who I am. I look forward to this.
Aiden Diaz
Will there actually be BU idiots there? I can't decide if that makes me want to go more ... or avoid it all together
Kevin Wilson
i don't know if i should take the train up from providence
Dominic Diaz
Don't worry if there's any weirdos I'll protect you
Owen Long
You can get on the email chain and come next time desu senpai
Or come tn there will be hoopla
Jason Foster
Tthis is what im afraid of
Carson Murphy
That other guy isn't me, and I'll fuck him up too. 1v1v1 like a bunch of degenerate niggers in front of Pforzheimer. I'm a 5'2" but 230 lbs of pure muscle, and I'll be dressed w/ a MAGA hat, trenchcoat, and a Nazi armband.
Connor Ward
Sounds like you'll be laughed or stomped out of existence as you sashay over. 16 minutes. Be there.
Sebastian Wright
No I was just making bird puns.
Levi Peterson
...that's why I thought you knew who I was...
Heading over now, fuckface.
Ian Cooper
I'm in the middle of the field where I'll be screaming incoherent diatribes against Jews. You can't miss me. See you shortly.
Kevin Sanders
Pussies didn't show. I'd see you at the cafè tonight but you're probably juggling on a unicycle for someone's instagram later.
Dylan Young
I'll come to the next one and whisk you away to Sonsie
Austin Lewis
I showed up and caved in the skull of some blond lanklet faggot. Idk if you're just a troll or if I've got the wrong guy, but yeah somebody learned a lesson.
Kayden Jenkins
I hope this is true, I really loathed that schmuck. There's an envelope of cash taped under the leftmost urinal at Annenberg.
Henry Sullivan
whisk? i thought no soyboys?
Jonathan Morales
It's unfathomable to me that 1) boring Harvard normies browse this site; and 2) they just had a brawl in front of Pforzheimer.
Charles Jackson
Exactly why it's a BOSTON meetup. It's a shame the T crosses the river.
Hunter Foster
There are harvard.edu emails in the chain
And I did see a fist fight on the Quad a little after 3
I dont know whats real anymore
Wyatt Moore
Fuck off BU is the most intellectual school in Boston and you know it.
Chase Clark
Yeah, you win.
Hunter Robinson
Sounds like an opportunity for blackmail. I would never give my uni email here. Who would want to deal with a bunch of narcissists who prioritize impressing NEETs over their own security?
Adam Williams
i have it on good authority that one of the guys at the last meetup is a total chad
Henry Thomas
Shit i literally just saw this smdh.... Yall meet up often or was this just a one time thing?
Alexander Thompson
Charlies is fucking trash are you serious?
Good burger tho. Shit crowd and service. like my nigga, i've worked as a waiter all throughout boston/cambridge and that place is legit shit show.
Justin Harris
Either going to be biweekly or weekly or monthly, like on the new moon but
Owen Mitchell
Cool lemme shoot you an email then. Also yall just talk about new books or something or is this just a social get together to make friends?
