Newgrounds NJ Meetup/Panel!

Posted by Imprez - August 20th, 2024


DERPY CON 2024 | NEWGROUNDS MEETUP +18

Official meetup date

October 25th, 2024 at noon

Hyatt Regency

2 Albany St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A BRONY CONVENTION




Hello fellow Newgrounders, here we go with ANOTHER meetup and in NJ AGAIN! But since Pico Day was in North Jersey, and Wildwood was in South Jersey, this one will be in Central Jersey, just a little over an hour from both Philly and New York!


I brought the idea up at TMG with @nicksenny and @septicsebi and they were on board with helping me host this meetup. I did a Newgrounds panel and only made a post about a week before the actual event. But we still had @tamag0, @nicksenny @septicSebi @wegra, @snowlionstudios , @disconnecty at the panel last year. Here's a video of our panel from last year if you want to check it out.

So right now I'm still waiting back from the panel staff on when the Meetup panel will be officially, but it will either be the 25th or the 26th, but we'll be there for the weekend so we'll just make this a weekend meetup Friday - Sunday kind of like TMG but more organized and not all over the place. We will have some specials guests (The Wiggles ;) ), prizes, balloons, and music by the finest Newgrounds artists!  




Unfortunately our panel was rejected this year, so we're just going to meetup in the lobby area this year. I'm really sorry about that.




Things to do at Derpy Con:  


Well it's a pretty small convention especially compared to TMG, but just like most conventions there are panels, artist alley, dealer room, concerts, Dance party, Maid Cafe, Tabletop, gaming tournaments, HOW TO RIZZ (For the Lonely Weeb), [18+], Film Festival, AMV contest, karaoke (18+ 10:30pm - 1 am Friday, 11:30 - 2am Saturday) and a pretty decent sized arcade considering the size of the convention. You can also stay at the venue late they don't kick you at 10 pm like at TMG. 


Here are some videos examples of the con from previous years.

New Brunswick is a big college town, so tons of Restaurants and bars that are opened until at least 2 am 




Badges and Rooming:


https://derpycon.com/registration/ 


https://derpycon.com/location/hotel/ You can also book a room at the Hyatt Regency (The same venue where the con is) anywhere from Wednesday through Monday. $174 a night for a single $184 for a double, and if you book before September 30th you will get a free Weekend badge with your room.




What is Derpycon?:


 "DerpyCon is a New Jersey-based multi-genre convention that founded in 2012, which brings anime, gaming, sci-fi, comics, and much more to the north east each October. The convention held its first event in 2014, welcoming more than 700 attendees to Morristown, NJ; since then, the event has more than doubled in size – both attendee wise & space wise – including moving to New Brunswick, NJ in 2021 to continue to grow."

whered that come from?

@bagutteboy You can book a room if need be, a town away for almost half the price, a taxi to the spot and still be under budget.

May be able to attend, familiar with the town, used to be my county seat for 50 years, so @ me here if questions. Also, a pot shop is like 1 1/2 blocks SW of venue ;)

This n***a really said derpy con...
