gayish NYC FAP proposals

may 6 i have to go to a birthday party in, ugh, park slope. maybe i stop by before birthday. i finally managed to convince some friends to go to metropolitan with me. i was excited but then when i got there it was fucking lesbo night. damn. my friends were happy though

!

this is not what i was imagining at all!

It's not a gay bar, it was filled with mostly NYU kids. (They took all the candy Stephin supplied.)

Mike D, I'm nowhere as big a dick as I am online (who could be). Also, I have a funny story to tell you sometime.

i was gonna say hi as you were leaving morbs but you looked in a bit of a hurry. plus i wanted to ask how those arbuckle films were! i totally forgot that retro was even happening until the last day :(

As I was telling phil, this Saturday is a tough choice -- new wave night at Metropolitan, or I could get my hair cut at the gay skinhead party at the Slide:

The gay punk thing tom'w has moved to the Eagle, I may finally go as former coworker has vaguely promised me drinks.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 27
GAG! 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
10pm-4am, Free
ALL VODKA DRINKS ARE FREE FROM 10-11PM!!!

Metropolitan is located at 559 Lorimer St (btwn
Metropolitan & Devoe) in Williamsburg.

I think I will try to catch the Ballet (late) at the Knitt tnite, but afterward the Cake Shop is having this usu-Wmsburg rockdancey party... $8:

http://www.myspace.com/qxbxrx

such as whereish?

our summering pal Casuistry wants to know...

I like Gag! new-wave @ Metropolitan (tomw night and every 2 weeks), but it does get crowded even w/ the patio.

Oh right, I forget there was a thread for this.

Stevie (who is temporarily without interweb) wants in but is underage.

If we FAP in Brooklyn during/after the parade will it be more crowded or less?

wait a sec, what parade? Brooklyn had theirs last Saturday, the bars were insane then. You mean the mega-Manhattan one on 6/24?

i think i will be in town June 29 to July 1? If I have days off available, I may try to extend my stay thru July 4, but not so sure on that.

Gay dudes, come to one of my brass band gigs next week. June 21, 22, & 23, various places (mostly Brooklyn I think, and the Mermaid Parade, maybe something in Manhattan?).

no v∞redoms elmo?

well Jordan, Casuistry (and me, really) has crowd issues, so Mermaid Parade might be a stretch.

We'll have to meet up that weekend, elmo.

Morbs, nah to v0000rdomes, i already know what a drum circle looks like

uh, I don't know what that is, j0n asked.

Jordan, e-mail me with details. Especially if there are non-parade things.

Morbs, yes I meant the big big big parade.

guyz i want in on gay fap

(won't be in town june 29-july 1 tho)

Don't make us choose between you and Elmo!

I WANT IN!!! Just make sure I don't have to be 21 to get in.

does metropolitan card?

cas: elmo's ONE WKND ONLY, i am here yr-round! no biggie

on Sat nites they card for sure. They hv Sunday BBQs too (gratis).

ih, I'm goin to ballgame this Wed, but wd coerce Chris to come for trivia the following Wed (6/27?). can Stevie get into that?

big big parade won't affect Brooklyn much, I don't know any gayz who go to it.

I'm here!! I might be able to. But times are tight.

I'll say "somewhat likely" iff (remember that from math/philo?):

A) I can get money secured for rent/stuff (i.e. get a fucking job)
B) I can get into the place w/o an ID

but I'd love to go. What kind of trivia is it?

you can get into pete's but they card at the bar (i could buy beerz if needed tho)

the trivia content depends on the host but there's usually an audio round, a visual round, a current events round and general knowledge stuff.

also: our team placed 2nd in the finals guys!!

OMG I forgot how getting home from Brooklyn late at night takes forever! But I'm trying to set up some sort of arrangement where I'll have a place to crash occasionally.

getting home from "brooklyn" sucks and i LIVE in brooklyn

our team placed 2nd in the finals guys!!

So is 'the season' over? now it's just for fun?

Yeah, it took me about 1:40 to get from W'burg to Windsington the other night...

yeah, new season starts this week

Ruh roh.

elmo, I am probly at a party in NJ most of the 30th, but around Fri night/Sunday.

So what is our plan so far? Trivia next Wed? And/or again soon to see elmo?

well, I don't have far to travel, so you guys decide.

Stevie, my Sunday bartender in Pk Slope said that since his GF works at Rutgers, he'd vouch for you. (maybe July 1 if elmo wants to?)

Now which bar is this? Is this the Jake Gyllenhaal guy?

no, that's Jesse's friend in Chi. :D This barkeep is a hetero bear.

http://brooklyn.citysearch.com/profile/41544222

also, Casuistry suggested picnicking (Prospect Park?). Don't ask me to bake tho.

I'm down with trivia next Wednesday.

And/or drinking next Sunday.

So will Elmo FAP with us at the sunday thing?

10-4 good buddy

i LOVE that bar morbs (even tho i haven't been in ages)

ah, but yer not here on July 1? we'll have to go back.

My co-owner pal came into the bar Sunday and put "Free to Be ... You and Me" on CD player, to general disgust.

My lesbian posse out here would have been thrilled.

There's a lesbian enclave in deepest Queens? are they all cops?

No, they all live in the Slope. Duh.

oh, that "out here." All the lesbians in my Slope building were gentrified outta dere, along with me.

I think some of them are not actually in the Slope anymore. Well, one couple is in Albany, which is not part of Brooklyn at all.

i went to cattyshack once with friends, it was fun (i suspect not up most ppls here's alley)

Hey so! Sunday July 1 probably doesn't work for me, or at least I am booked for dinner and it might go on longer than that. Can it be Saturday or Friday or Otherday?

hmmmm, Saturday I'm at Jersey party. People meet us after MoMA on Friday, Chris?

That would work for me.

SO WAIT WHAT IS HAPPENING

in general?

Stay tuned, true believers.

I dunno, when are you free? I just can't do Sunday night so much. Friday night would be really great.

we were thinking of early-eve til who-knows-when drinx -- perhaps at Park Slope's Commonwealth? -- on next Friday the 29th. is this good for elmo?

So triv wednesday and then drinky on friday?

I bleeve that's the plan.

Morbius why you no like the dugout?

i can maaaaaybe do friday night, depending on if i've left town yet

i need to finalize travel plans, but i may not be in town friday night -- i may choose to catch a ride on saturday AM with fellow kickballers for the bklyn tournament in the afternoon, but i won't be driving myself?

but! i may just take the bus for the sake of queers. if i do, i will probably arrive pretty late, tho.

Ever notice how you never see impudent harlot and elmo argonaut in the same room together?

conspiracy monger!

Stevie, I was there for one beer less than 2 weeks ago, and it was dead, with a big vidscreen showing some godawful pop videos. Not at all edgy, bearish etc even compared to a few years ago.

I have to monger something!

SO bumpy bumpy, shall we establish mtg times for wed and fri?

ih, the Pete's trivia starts at 7:30 Wed?

starts at 7:30, happy hr ends at 7 tho (i get off work early and usually manage to polish off 3 or so before it actually starts)

OK. I could get there by 6-6:30. Chris? Stevie?

oh, there's a monthly low-key gay thing at the Floyd (bocce) bar tonight; if I'd thought of it last week...

so i'm pretty sure i'll be in town friday night? still no definite plans yet, durrr

Where is trivia?

http://www.petescandystore.com/petes_map.html

Mmmm, G line.

You can walk from the L too.

And I will, but the L isn't sexy like the G train is.

"sexy" = unreliable and shuts down on weekends?

this is all so funny and great

Morbs: Yes. Also, I'm bringing sexy back.

also, sposed to be thunderstormy tom'w so bring an umbrella.

Be Casuisty's friend by asking him "HOT ENOUGH for ya?"

Or give me money. That sometimes works too.

OK, I'm going to be offline all day, so if something changes, Morbs has my number. Otherwise, see you tonight, 6-6:30ishish.

brush up on yr current events guys!!!

I'm brushed. Kind of.

I was not as brushed as I had thought :-( But still got two free PBR's out of it!! Thank you v much Chris and Morbs and Harlot (that birthday boy was a cutie...) I did have a blast.

Neil FUCKING Diamond, god!!!

so good, so good

I hope you're all toweled off.

thx for coming out guys! FIRST PLACE WOO

(that birthday boy was a cutie...)

hahaha contrary to popular belief, he's NOT a 'mo

i still have that list but i'm hesitant to publish it

I didn't know it was anybody's b'day. The geography bee veteran? v cute.

Just make it clear that Chris is the (Frank) Sinatra hater.

geog. bee guy = my roommate (also not gay)

Well, he's nice. I hope he does the dishes.

elmo, you arriving early enuf Fri eve to meet for drinks? Slope bar linked above OK?

that is

http://brooklyn.citysearch.com/profile/41544222

We could meet you mid/downtown if you want?

i'm sure as hell gonna try!

xpost eh, sometimes (not that i'm one to talk...)

can't do friday drinks unfortunately, i'm heading up to boston right after work

Birthday boy was clearly not gay! What, was anyone else on our team on our team?

Who said he was gay? I didn't really think he was. But he was cute...

clearly not gay vs not clearly gay.

nah, just us, chris

i should hit town around 10pm tomorrow i think

I will seriously need to be out of there by like 11. I have to take some kids to the Hall of Science in the morning. But I would like to meet Elmo.

I will try to be prompt! Traffic willing.

ok, so i'm trying to catch an earlier bus, so i should be in town around 8.30 or so

w00t

which is gayer for July 20, Neko Case for free in Central Park, or Lillian Gish in Way Down East at the Walter Reade for $15?

or, duz anyone want to go to Metropolian bar new-wave nite this Sat?

I have a birthday party somewhere in Brooklyn on Saturday. It is in the afternoon. So, maybe? Depending on where it is and how exhausted I am and all the usual crap?

well, OK. But what if you have to take the G?

Oh, so this is the thread with that picture of me.

I love the G! I love all lines that snub Manhattan! Just not late at night, so much.

http://images.cafepress.com/product/67425600v8_240x240_Front.jpg

There's a notice up right now that says "The G won't go to Queens, indefinitely."

That's not what the MTA's website says. But if it won't even go to Court Sq, that's the total suck.

wait where's ur birthday party Casuistry? if it's at Brooklyn Bridge Park, it's my boyfriend's! prolly not tho ; )

yes, Court Sq has been the last stop.

That's in Queens, my friend.

It's at my friend's place. Not in a park! I was surprised. Also it's a straight guy's party. Which I guess doesn't preclude him from being your bf. Especially since he's a transplant from Portland.

LOL k

OK, the G is just not going to deeply penetrate Queens.

The G's loss!

the G is so cute

I thought about going some weekend to DC for the Bob Mould monthly DJ party -- BLOWOFF -- but it's coming here in September...

http://www.highlineballroom.com/bio.php?id=132

(he and his tagteam DJ are clearly bears)

so can someone clarify the definition of bear and cub? i mean i think i get it, like it seems pretty obvious i know...

i mean, do you have to be like plump to be a cub?

we need a FAQ for this. yes, I believe so.

also, I hv a thing early after work, but DJ Eugene plays at Metropolitan on Thursdays, he's a cool guy. Maybe I'll take the L over there for just an hour.

we do need an FAQ, really

FAQ:

Q1. Is jaymc gay?
A1. Is a bear Catholic in the woods?

I @Metrop tnite

It took 2 hours to get home.

At least I got some reading done.

I am completely no fun.

went to Mr. Black last night for the first time and i was luuuvin it. damn there were so many fun boys around, i really just wanted to like open my mouth and say Ah. damn. of course, the boyfriend wanted to call it a night. usually, my childish exuberance combined with his face can seal the deal pretty easily. still a great time tho ; ) tequila poured into my mouth by a beautifully unclothed man --> classic.

i went to mr. black last weekend (on a saturday night) and DESPISED it. i was seriously angry at myself for even spending $10 on the cover. also the ex-bf i mentioned earlier on this thread (the one who punched me at the gay bar on pride) this time tried stealing my beer and got angry at our friend for not buying him a tequila shot.

oops, i guess i mentioned that on the rolling gay thread, actually

no one seemed terribly "fun" either but i was too busy scowling at everyone to attract "fun" guys i suppose

lol aww i'm sorry, i mean i can see how it would suck but i think i was just in the mood for silliness

i've been to mr. black a couple times and generally have had a blast! when i go out i'm usually too busy dancing to care about underfed boys with cunty attitudes. who needs that?

i mean, i just think of those kinds of guys as funny - as long as they don't mess with me, i'm happy enough observing them while trying to be a complete loony dancing person

I've never even HEARD of Mr. Black, but then I don't (really) dance or ever pay $10 covers.

Chris, you need a crash pad closer to Gothamist civilization. You missed the video clips of Bruce LaBruce and Paris Is Burning.

That horrible/indelible song we heard was "Original Sin" by INXS.

the problem tho was that it was just way too crowded to even move, let alone dance

hah even the coat check guy was like "you're way better off coming here on a sunday night"

a former suitemate of mine from NYU, v4n sc0tt, has been DJ'ing at mr. black on Tuesdays -- he's really f'ing cool. last time I saw him spin, he dropped the "peanut butter jelly time" sample over a deep minimal house break and i basically went retarded.

hehe

I will have a more reasonable location this weekend (catsitting for a friend in Chinatown), although B. and R. were the ones who would have gotten more excited about the Bruce LaBruce action.

the whole nightlife thing in this city is too cool for me in any event. i do it sometimes cuz it can be fun and if ur with the right ppl bla bla bla, but i'd rather have a hot chocolate and great conversation with friends. and then go out with them and get hammered. okay and maybe take someone home.

I have never met someone at a club and taken them home.

really!!? i mean i'm not like carving notches in my bedpost but - well why not?

I'm not sure what a person could do at a club that would inspire me to take them home.

I am going to an office party at a swank hotel bar after work, but wd like to continue drinking after. I'm thinking Metropolitan or Excelsior (or both), 10ish?

Also tomw night I need to see Griffith's Way Down East @ the Walter Reade. Sat & Sun, who knows (not sposed to be nearly as humid).

lol xp, i dunno, they could look at u in that special way

what kind of trouble can we get into next weekend?

trouble sucks. xcept wen it doesn't. i dunno i have birthday party madness happening this wknd. what's with birthdays always happening man

ppl being born n shit

I wanna get into trouble next weekend!

dunno bout you but i'm going to berghain! you are all welcome to buy plane tickets to germany and join.

=) hope ur having a terrific mess of a time

Next weekend as in the weekend after this coming one?

well, either. I have zip planned for 17th-19th. This Saturday I was thinking of checking out the free show at the East River Amphitheatre, and going to Metrop new wave later.

http://www.ermp.org/eastriver/

I went to a birthday party at Excelsior Sunday eve -- Slope regular Tommy the Florist! He had his arm in a sling cuz he tripped over a Nestle's Quik bottlecap on the sidewalk.

excelsior is surprisingly popular

oh, if anyone wanted to go to this one Thursday in W'burg, I would go:

http://myspace.com/qxbxrx

(i'm thinking some Thurs later this month)

omg, The Boys in the Band at midnight at Sunshine (if only I had known sooner).

nevtheless, I plan on being @ Metrop 'round minight (esp as the G runs all the way thru F territory this wkend).

(esp as the G runs all the way thru F territory this wkend)

of course, when i'm not there

uh i meant to italicize that wtf

yeah ih, it hasn't done that in a year!

I'm thinking of drinking in W'burg tnite. Either Solid! @ Metropolitan, or the Cyn Lounge (see link 6 posts above).

I have spent the last two days schlepping about and am exhausted and just reading that made me feel achier.

Well, for your last full day in NY it's sposed to reach 90 degrees again, schlepper.

Also, your email account is reported to be full!

further: Scot poppies Camera Obscura are playing at the Seaport Friday eve. less twee than Belle & Sebastian?

also less good (SNAPZ)

think i'm going to the bbq on sunday at metropolitan (not for the sake of meeting guys or anything oh no not me surely you jest etc)

Tweeness isn't B&S's problem.

Confidential to Morbs: I am not coming into the city today, and it seems BBQ is not happening. I might be in tomorrow though for last minute meets-up with people.

gotcha. I'll be around.

I'm going to try to get to the Floyd bar on Atlantic tonight around 9:30-10 (the last Monday is a low-key gay night):

http://www.andrewsloat.com/lastmonday/0704.html

FAP next week!

oh yeah -- post-Chelsea Girls next Sat night maybe. (It'll be new-wave night at the W'burg bar.)

the F & G trains are way fuct up this weekend, but I still will go to the Metropolitan nu-wave night's anniversary party on Sat nite (open vodka bar 10-11 and free mug shots taken).

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/events/bars-clubs/47052/gag-anniversary-party

does anyone want to go to the Metropolitan bar Sunday cookout this week, weather permitting? or should we try to engineer a nighttime gayFAP in the next month?

(also, I heard rumor Metropolitan was briefly closed by Health Dept about a month ago?)

it was (i was out of town, so don't blame me)

i really need to start packing for my move soon but in case i decide i'd rather do something else with my sunday, i'd be into that

were they keeping the veggie burger patties near the roach poison or something?

apparently had to do with an expired food permit (since they have ice)

If we go next month I'll be 21

options:

-Metrop bbq next Sun? (assuming no one wants to brave the Yo La tengo clusterfuck at McCarren ppol; I'm ambivalent)

-Last Monday at Floyd bar next week?

I'd drop by metrop

uh oh!

hey hey, sounds like fun! i think i can make it

I smell a new Sassy cover coming to newsstands soon.

We'll save the Sassy shoot for your next visit.

i'll break my six-week stretch of not going to a gay establishment in nyc for a metro bbq if weather's nice, sure. (not bothered about YLT)

what is metro bbq like

trendy bitches in a garden

the foooood

haha i dunno i always miss the dogs

burgers, hot dogs, slaw, beans

veggie equiv of the first two available i think

ya

morbius maybe you should try this site www.craigslist.org

Your dad hasn't got the airfare.

This usually gets going around 5:30?

warning: Surmounter may be too hungover to attend. Anyone else? (after you cant get into McCarren)

If anyone's back from T-Give this Sat night, I should be at W'burg new wave bar.

yay, the G runs from Coney Island thru to Wmsburg this weekend. I'll be at Metrop Sat night if Surmounter + any of you hipsters want to drink to our new right-wing senator lady.

monthly Floyd drinky tnite:

Kid Congo Powers is DJing at Sycamore tonight.

http://ditmasparkblog.com/community-event/squirrelly-thurs-sycamore

Not really a FAP proposal, tho, as I am getting this damn sore throat.
