Thanks, and I think that's a good idea about dev events, I'm in New York and just started realizing how many things are going on for game dev and creative coding around me.
I'm jealous about you living in NY.
I had a holiday there for a fortnight recently and for the first time in my life, I felt truly inspired.
One of my highlights was going through the MET. Specifically, seeing the flintlock based firearms. I was simply blown away by the intricacies.

Fellow New Yorker here with a long-standing interest in making indie games. Let's chat. My contact info's in my profile.
I've only just started on the "aspiring indie" path the past 6 months [1] and it's a great feeling when I've got a spare weekend to toy around with an idea.
One thing that I found useful was joining up with a indie game dev group in my city. It's always great to hear other peoples stories.
