    I don't think Diggnation knows how "bigg" they really are! Can you imagine the crowd if it was held in Manhattan on a Saturday? Check out my pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com...

    I'm pissed that I was just able to get my left hand to catch the 2nd free Zune that Kevin flung into the crowd but it bounced off my fingertips & into the scrum, where 3 college kids grabbed at it for dear life. Um, the sun was in my eyes. Yeah, that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it. Also, I think I've lost the hearing in my left ear cos some chick screamed so loud behind me about wanting to have Kevin's and/or Alex's babies. DiggNation, Rev3: you guys ROCK. Thanks for coming to BKLN!

    I consider Mike Lewis a friend... but somebody failed hard at this event. People who RSVP'd via meetup should have been given absolute first rights to get in since this is the NYC group dedicated to the show. If I had known it'd be open to every resident of NYC, I would not have bothered going out. Shameful =/

    Duuude, people were handing me Jägermeisters like there was no tomorrow, everyone was fun, What's upped Alex before the show, and Kevin shook hands after! Small venue though and a lot of the view was obstructed. Also, $10 for a 7oz Long Island Iced Tea?? But then again, entrance WAS free. If I was under 21, I'd be PISSSED, they got so mistreated! All in all, awesome time!

    Yeah the Venue really sucked. They said David Preger or how ever you spell his damn name was to blame. I got there an hour early thinking it was going to be a small turn out, holy shit was i wrong. and WTF was that 50 dollar minimum tab bullshit. Dude loved the show but pick a better place next time.

    Since this was their first time in NYC, I can understand the poor selection of venue. But next time, it needs to be in a larger space.

Who attended?

  • 441 attendees
    •  Loved it! Excellent event. Met some fantastic people. 
    •  It was so awesome! 
    •  The event was good overall, long line, bad stage position, got there around 5:30 but was able to get a good spot fairly close to the stage. The wait for the show was killer, my feet still hurt. The coolest thing though was at the end when KR whent through the crowd and met everyone who wanted to meet him. 
    •  Next time bigger place!!! and maybe some chairs really can't do the show standing up. But other than that i loved it! 
    •  Great time with the peeps in VIP. Studio B was far too crowded though. Not suitable for this kind of thing. Smack Prager. 
    • Andrew Otto (+2 guests)
       I went to the show. Signed up. Got to the show. Too many people. Signing up on this sight was worth nothing, zip, zero. Great job. Utterly worthless. 
    •  awesome, except for the drunk fat guy who could hardly stand up in front of me. stinking hot in that club - understand they don't turn on the AC to keep noise levels down, but damn... 
    • CJ
       Wow =) Good time guys. Of course there was the line probs and issue with the venue, but that's ny for ya ;) Come back soon! You guys rock. 
    •  AWESOME!!!! can't believe how down to earth these guys are. they are hell of a lot cooler in person, and funnier too 
    •  A bigger place was needed. Good time overall. 
    • Gabriel (+1 guest)
       Would have been great if a lot of us could have got in.... 
    •  It was fucking awesome. The crew of Revision3 are the best, nicest people in the industry. Mike and Henry are that Raddist most professional organizer. 
    •  Had a blast. Well organized, and everyone was really cool and friendly 
    • James Marino (+2 guests)
       Poorly planned, unprepared, wasteful of our time. Began hours late. I am a huge Digg/Diggnation fan and was terribly disappointed by the lack of professional way in which this was handled. 
    •  wait was too long 
    •  What a great event and I really appreciated the effort by Rev3 and Digg to get everyone into the taping. Makes me glad to be a friend of the show! 
    •  Huge. Would have been turned away if we didn't know somebody from Revision3. Lots of dudes, not a lot of girls - as expected. Booze was flowing tho so all was good! 
    •  Its was diggNATION... and LIVE IN NYC - EAST COAST FIRST TIME!! What else can one say? hah 
    •  Duuuuude, that was......AWESOME!!!! So many friendly people, people were handing me Jägermeister's like there was no tomorrow, awesome show, Alex came out before the show to shake some hands, Kevin came out after, what else can one ask for! 
    • Su (+1 guest)
       I had a good time. It was a very large turnout --a bit overcrowded with 2000+ people--and it was NOT the best venue for a stage show. The entry into the venue was poorly organized--despite being of age I did not get a drinking bracelet. I had gotten a hand stamp instead and was informed that that was not enough to be served even after offering to show my ID. The show itself took a long time to get rolling, but was entertaining once it going going, so it was worthwhile. 
    •  The Diggnation was a lot of fun, they could have started sooner. The waiting around was a bit trying. The meetup RSVP did nothing for me. I hope it is better set up next time. 
    • Jose (+2 guests)
       Was great. Loved the scam school bit beforehand. dN is always great. Had so much fun. Wish it was on a Saturday or Friday night so I didn't have to run home right after the event. 
    •  Problem was i have a job and i got there at 530 which killed my live experience. No promo goodies to the back. Best part was in the beginning when Alex and Kevin high fived through the crowd and i got to see them face too face. And really I RSVP'd and couldnt get into the VIP WTF man!! 
    •  My ears are still ringing from the hooting and hollering going on -- Rose & Albrecht were treated like rock stars and they were as funny as hell...I'm a little pissed that the Zune that they threw in my direction slipped out of my grasp and was set upon by three ravaging college kids, but then I don't even like Zune (yeah, right, that's just sour grapes :)...so many people came out, it was amazing, the line to get in stretched around the block THREE TIMES...those shot girls were a good idea too :)...and how cool was "Scam School"'s Brian Brushwood, huh? This was the best Rev3 Meetup I've ever attended even if the only thing I got was a Digg sticker and tinnitus -- thanks! 
    • queenmoweeny (+1 guest)
       Tried to get in but the lines were unbelievable. I am not sure why they picked this place because there wasn't enough room. I will try and catch another one at another time. 
    • Dan Houle (+1 guest)
       It was fun to go to my first Diggnation Live. I think it is clear there is a HUGE Diggnation following in NYC. Next time, please book a bigger venue. And, it would be nice if the people who were shoved in the back got a chance at some prizes. 
    • movieMC (+5 guests)
       amazing, got some great pictures which I will be posting here http://www.flickr... and I got to meet, take pictures with and talk to kevin and alex 
    • Gabriel Dunn (+1 guest)
       The venue sucked balls, but the show was fun. NYC crowds are always a pill...chanting about their cocks? I mean cmon...maybe Im to old for that crowd.
