  • I'll be at the Brooklyn Book Festival that day, photographing authors for Wikipedia, as per David Shankbone's suggestion. Nightscream (talk) 01:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I didn't know the festival was on the same day as this. Looking at the website, it starts at 10AM and I was thinking of going to the festival. --Blue387 (talk) 05:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Not until I'm a college student next year, since my parents won't let me go to Wikipedia meetups anyways for now. In high school, I still have to live under the authority of parents, but in college, I get to make free choices and become independent. Depending on where I go to college or when I have classes, hopefully I'll be able to make it to meetups. But not until next year. NHRHS2010 |  Talk to me  19:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Regrets. Bearian (talk) 14:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
  • I am sure my parents would not want me to go for a website (there point of view) I think I am busy. The spesh man (talk) 20:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
  • I am now in school in Pittsburgh, and it would be very difficult (and tiring) for me to take this day off and travel here. TML (talk) 16:58, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Two words: Giants; Redskins. -- Y not? 01:53, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
