New Jersey Meetup
Over 300 of us converged in New Jersey for a public Pico Day Party hosted by @BrandyBuizel, @Tamag0 and @Coby! It was a big magical day at an impressive venue, with space to hang out and talk, draw at tables, play games and watch a screening of animation.
@MisMash created a fantastic tankman mech banner for the Pico Day NJ Meetup.
Physical trading cards were crafted for the event, thanks to a suggestion by @Lolofyr!
Lots of people made stickers to share, here are a few!
@kastozx made a bust of Stan from Nightmare Cops!
@SmugerryARugerry commemorated some push ups that happened.
