I have tried to start meets when I was in college, they failed really bad, one person came, this was 2012 thou. Also in 2011 I went to a meet up in NYC and learned how to buy drugs off silk road, pretty sure those people didn't really care about bitcoins end game, just the drugs. I also went to EVR, I was going to ask for Charlie but I didn't see him there.
SO what are some of the good meet ups and places to talk advance bitcoin stuff! I am in NY/NJ and no I am not an actual "Guido".
P.S I am not some anti-social person in my parents basement, bitcoin let me move to a basement in the SoHo Trump j/k

(I have a gf and go out to clubs). I just feel most of the meetings are like "This is bitcoin 101" and I am more on "bitcoin 400 at this level you are required to have a go bag".
