You can contrast that with Kansas City, for example, which is "the City of Kansas City". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The address is written New York, New York which is a refer to the city. One New York reference the state. Two New York refers to the city. Only ignorant people refer to the city as New York. You are trying to ague something you clearly have no one about with someone who was born and raised in New York. I know the history of this state better than you do.

Born and raised in Western NY. Have at various times lived there, NY's North Country, Albany area, and Poughkeepsie area for... totalled up, over 30 years, plus lived in Manhattan for several years. But regardless of our respective New York cred, the official name of the city is "New York" so saying "the Cantina tour is coming to New York" is precisely the same format as saying "the Cantina tour is coming to San Diego", in neither case did they list the State, and not listing the State doesn't somehow change the meaning in either instance. It can be confusing to not specify the city vs the State, but it's not incorrect. Edited September 8, 2016 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time NYC is referred to as just NY is by stupid people that don't live here. Since you want to use Stitch as a reference point. Just look at http://stitchnyc.com/ website. Refers to it being in NYC. The only time it doesn't express its location as NYC is in the address where it is double New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the city portion is a form of shorthand. It's really not something worth getting annoyed at. New York City is a city in the state of New York. Saying the cantina is in New York is correct. It's almost like getting annoyed at your neighbors New Yawk accent. Edited September 8, 2016 by MACharlieV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabigool Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Sure.. I'm done arguing with you because you have proven yourself a lair. Only time NYC is referred to as just NY is by stupid people that don't live here. This is incorrect, sorry. It is perfectly acceptable (and common) to refer to the city as simply New York, especially when doing so for a global audience. If you say "New York" to someone in Paris or London, they certainly are not thinking about Syracuse or Rochester. Look at any major global firm's letterhead. It will say something like "London/Sydney/Paris/New York" But most importantly, New York City is not even the city's name. It's "City of New York" and both New York and New York City are equally interchangeable and acceptable ways to reference it. I'm not sure why this tangent even happened but it shouldn't have.

All my friends and family refer to the city as New York as well. Next you'll tell me that real New Yorkers never say Brooklyn, they say Kings County.

eriksarcasm Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Here's a question... do most people cosplay to these things? Is it a few costumes, or mostly costumes? Do you dress as your character or a known character? I imagine there's a Revan or 10 walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love any excuse to dress up in out of the ordinary attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come straight from Comic Con so costumes are not uncommon. Most people weren't in costume, but there were enough who did have them that they're not out of place at all.

What concerns me is where it says "Invite Only" for Friday's event (listed as "Star Wars Video Game Event") Edited October 6, 2016 by eriksarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
