― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 7 November 2002 00:56 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll be there after bryan ferry, obv. wait for me?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 01:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I can show everyone my fantastic new phone that allows me to take pictures of Sigfried and Roy! It plays polka songs! No monkeys with colds!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 7 November 2002 02:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and I should mention that this is Geeta's birthday. Maybe Yancey can come & pick up his gifts...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 03:21 (twenty-three years ago)

ally is on the goofballs.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 7 November 2002 03:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Cool, and that's 15 days away from my birthday, so we can celebrate that too. :-)

Don't forget about roller skating on the 9th!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 7 November 2002 03:24 (twenty-three years ago)

you NYCers have all the damn fun!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 7 November 2002 14:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Heh if I'm invited, I might come: I'll be in NYC then. But I won't be out late because I'll be off to see the Clientele play later in the evening. That's at the Knitting Factory so meeting somewhere which would allow me reasonably easy passage to the show would be ideal. But don't mind me, obv.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 7 November 2002 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I won't be roller skating, but I will be there on the 15th to pick up my gifts. My presents this year sucked (not really).

― Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 7 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

damn - I'm DJing the night before (Thursday Nov 14th for the challenged) and I was gonna ask you all along for a meetup. but Geeta's birthday night's a higher cause than a one-off guest spot.

if anyone wants to check out both, I'm guesting at Japanese DJ (Shunji & Bone-Bon) UK Garage night 'Hatch' - at Orchard Bar on Orchard just below Houston St. not sure what time yet - probably early (11ish?) for work force convenience.

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 7 November 2002 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

:'(

again

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 7 November 2002 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth half your Adam Ant face paint has come off

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 7 November 2002 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Hopefully my building will HAVE WATER BY THEN. I'm ready to hop a cab to QUeens to take a bloody shower. Fuck.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 7 November 2002 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh no -- Clientele and Bryan Ferry on the same night. Please start this party early enough and keep it going long enough to accomodate both Tim and I.

Gareth: you will be present in our hearts:)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there, as long as it's not in Ring Nebula or whatever.

geeta, would you like to suggest a suitable uptown/Harlem/"SoHa" or whatever place near you since you've been so valiant about traveling throughout the boroughs for previous meetups?

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw yeah, NYCFAP, Harlem edition! [Self-interestedness disclosure: Mr. Ferry plays on the Upper West Side.] Say, I don't suppose any of you losers will be in attendance? (Sorry, I turned all Marcello for a second.)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Can I be in your hearts as well? Or if Gareth is too big, maybe your spleens or bone marrow?

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 7 November 2002 19:38 (twenty-three years ago)

i was thinking dinner in the upper west side (around 70th) if ppl don't mind

and then drinking afterwards. i have no prob with going someplace downtown tho, i heart the express trains

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 7 November 2002 19:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate all of you; why do you get to live in the best city evah?

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:35 (twenty-three years ago)

uptown's fr suckahs.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:38 (twenty-three years ago)

haha let's not get into an uptown-downtown FITE

ok i will have it downtown -- i am a sap. i will call my pals the strokes and see what they're up to

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:44 (twenty-three years ago)

(Geeta's birthday = 1 day before mine.)

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Nah, I don't care. I work in Times Square and get off at 7, so I won't be able to attend until 7:30 or 8, depending on the location. But I don't really care where it is. I will be there regardless.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I cast my vote for uptown.

Uptown bars:
Delbar - no drink over $3, 400% Dynamite on the stereo.
Ding Dong - like a punk rock theme park.
1020: the Steve Forbert of bars.

November 15th is also opening day at the uptown ice skating rink. Unless I break something on the 9th, I will be skating, blades freshly sharpened and gleaming, from 6-8 or so; and then meet you all, for by then I shall desperately FAP. Anybody care to join me? (This will not be your last chance to ice skate this winter.)

― Paul Eater (eater), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I love 1020, although Delbar sounds stellar.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 7 November 2002 20:59 (twenty-three years ago)

teeny: we pay for the privilege, through the nose and other orifices.

Correction: Nov. 15th isn't actually opening day for the rink -- it's open already.

― Paul Eater (eater), Thursday, 7 November 2002 21:01 (twenty-three years ago)

No drink over $3 means I am there.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 7 November 2002 21:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Paul, I haven't been ice skating since eighth grade, and I wasn't too good at it then. I'm worried I might break something. (Let's see how I fare roller-wise on the 9th.)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 7 November 2002 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Paul Eater, yes I will join for you the skating, if we can then off to the Bryan Ferry, and then, and only then, much refreshed with gallant good looks and a lovely singing voice inititiate desperate FAP action!

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 22:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I going to try to get down to NYC Friday, but I don't know if I'll make it. Everybody have several under $3 drinks for me..I think I know where I'll be on Saturday...

― brg30 (brg30), Friday, 8 November 2002 00:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Mary, what exactly is "Michael Kamen's Opus with Bryan Adams & Bryan Ferry"?

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 8 November 2002 07:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, twist my arm then...when the place is decided for sure email it to me private-like, 'k?

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 8 November 2002 08:12 (twenty-three years ago)

"Michael Kamen's Opus with Bryan Adams & Bryan Ferry"

more context, please?

yay, Matos is in!

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 8 November 2002 15:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Mary: it's on this page listing the Beacon Theatre show.

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 8 November 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Paul: that is both disarming & troubling. I will try to erase any such memory of this info from my mind...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 8 November 2002 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

So that's not the show you're seeing, Mary? Too bad.

Delbar is good but rather small, so if we have a large crowd we may want to migrate.

Or does the dropoff in responses mean you all would prefer to not be shanghaied uptown? Geeta, care to take the reins/blame?

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 8 November 2002 18:18 (twenty-three years ago)

As far as I know, my show is all Ferry all the time, b-but, who knows?...No, I'm all about an uptown meet, let's just pick a place...and the posts...will follow?...

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 9 November 2002 03:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Hell, this is the first time anyone's been even remotely positive about being uptown, I'm all for it. Where's the Ferry show? The Beacon? Or are there like many? Anyway. There's like 100 bars like one avenue over from that, we could pick one of those. I've been in all of them, they're all at least passable. And right next door to my house, practically so I have no excuse not to come.

Geeta, what restaurant you doing dinner at? And how does this factor in the Knitting Factory mentioned in all up thread?

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 9 November 2002 23:31 (twenty-three years ago)

i haven't picked a restaurant or a bar yet, so all of yr suggestions/recommendations are welcome. i've only lived here for a few months, so i defer to those with greater experience. you guys don't need to come up near columbia -- all the bars around there remind me of school, and i'll likely end up running into a lot of people from school that i don't like. ally, what bars do you like near you that wouldn't be too crowded on a friday?

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 10 November 2002 00:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Ferry is at the Beacon, yes! If anyone would like to join me and Bryan, you are more than welcome...

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 10 November 2002 03:25 (twenty-three years ago)

new answerz!

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 11 November 2002 04:40 (twenty-three years ago)

nyc has apparently gotten disturbingly twee since all the homeless people were hushed away to the secret underground salt mines.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 11 November 2002 05:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to go to the $3 drink place on the Upper West Side for sociological reasons. I had no idea you could get drinks that cheap up there.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 11 November 2002 06:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Del Bar, 945 Columbus, @106th Street.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 11 November 2002 06:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in for Del Bar. After living here for 2.5 years, I think this will be maybe the fifth time I've been that far uptown. Second time for drinking.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Monday, 11 November 2002 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Err, that far away from where I'm supposed to be might be a bit adventurous for me in my first night in New York, but I'll try. What sort of time were you thinking of meeting?

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 11 November 2002 16:25 (twenty-three years ago)

It's exciting that so many of you are willing to visit the surprisingly habitable geographical middle of our glorious island.

What time does Bryan get off, Mary? And do you think he'd like to come along?

Geeta: what were you thinking about dinner beforehand?

― Paul Eater (eater), Monday, 11 November 2002 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm surprised by the lack of Tracer Hand's crying over the fact that we're going to be uptown...

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 11 November 2002 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

haha oh god if i run into any columbia j-school kids at delbar i'm blaming you all. friday night the j-school goes out to one of those bars -- either that, or maybe ding dong.

does anyone have recommendations for a good place to get dinner around that morningside heights-ish netherworld? i'm thinking no.

― geeta, Monday, 11 November 2002 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

there are two really good Ethiopian restaurants around 121st street and 119th street, both @ Amsterdam

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 11 November 2002 20:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Skipping 175 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

I was thinking of 7 too, so that's good.

Picked up the new Village Voice last night... turned to the music pages. Clover! Harvell! Matos quoting Baran! Crazy games.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 15:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Agree with you Mary, that Brooklyn + weeknight is silly. I'm just stating for the record that I am against LES all the frigging time. I suggest for the next big meet up, we go somewhere that is nowhere near LES, either uptown or outerborough. Hell, the financial district as long as it's not bloody LES again.

It's easier for me to GET to Brooklyn than it is down there, getting to all these meet ups always includes like 2 or 3 subway transfers and a long walk. Going to Brooklyn or Queens, I don't have to transfer, and not as much walking. I don't understand why people think I hate Brooklyn, I'm out there and Queens and Bronx more than Manhattan. It's just that it's not a great place for everyone to be able to make it to.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry Ally.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope the Christmas in Harlem FAP will allay some of Ally's concerns...(If it makes you feel any better, I have been secretly admiring your brio in not only traveling down to the LES every time, but staying till the end everytime, all the while wearing 4-inch high heels!)

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 15:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Why are you sorry? I wasn't complaining seriously, just making a point that ILXNYC needs to see more of the city! Such as Riddlers in the Bronx!

Hahaha Mary, I am sort of a party whore so I make sacrifices. Jody, Matos and I decided that they were actually 1-inch heels in disguise last meet up. Are we going to Harlem for Xmas? That'd be ace.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Heels, schmeels, just let me know where to be at 10 or 10:30.

― Benjamin, Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

My rehearsal is in Brooklyn Heights and lets out @ 10 -- it would be MARVELOUS if we could meet up somewhere on Montague or Court St.

But I don't honestly expect that to happen.

(But if it does -- the neighborhood's very close to Manhattan and almost every train stops there.)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I went to high school in the E. Vil., so could also do with a respite. I have been told that Brooklyn is a magical wooded land full of wonders.

But tonight, Eleventh Street Bar it is!

― Paul Eater (eater), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be tending to my roommate. He's at the plastic surgeon as I write this because he sliced the end of his finger off with an industrial meat slicer.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

ARRGH! No way no way! Tell him I give him my best! Oh my god that's so bad. THAT'S WHAT HE GETS FOR GOING TO CHEF SCHOOL. Argh I am getting phantom pains thinking about it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there, at 7ish

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 18:03 (twenty-three years ago)

EEP! Horrible. :-( Yes, best wishes indeed. You are right to tend to him given all that good food of his you've scarfed. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 18:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Cool, Rosemary, you're forsaking Bingo? See you all tonight...

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 21:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I MIGHT be there. Work may get in the way.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 22:15 (twenty-three years ago)

yo Tracer, send him my best wishes as well. really really sorry to hear that....

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 21 November 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh my giddy gosh.

I can confirm that NYC fappers are hardcore. Lovely to see those of you who were there, sorry to miss those who couldn't make it.

The U&K question: Ally did you make it to work?

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 21 November 2002 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

remember when i said i had to go to brooklyn to pick up a book?

apparently i also had to fall right asleep.

― maura (maura), Thursday, 21 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

so the interview happened, Maura? Or not?

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 21 November 2002 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

um, it is in the process of being rescheduled.

― maura (maura), Thursday, 21 November 2002 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

see you should have stayed out with us and encountered the true ruin of bailing from a pizza place when it became obv that they weren't going to sell us after hours booze without pizza being involved.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 21 November 2002 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

wha? more oh no! food? so how late were the faithful out this time? great to meet you tim! enjoy queens...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally did you make it to work?

Um, no.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:04 (twenty-three years ago)

It's all becoming clear why we don't normally FAP on a weeknight...

Third time's a charm:

Daddino did you make it work by projected early morning time?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh Ally I'm sorry to hear that. Mary: we were out late enough that no-one would serve us beer anymore.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not, Tim :)

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Right now the whole of NYC = Spanish Bar as far as I'm concerned.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Daddino did you make it work by projected early morning time?

'Deed I did.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 21 November 2002 17:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Brown noser.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 18:08 (twenty-three years ago)

No, a self-starter!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 18:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I got home at 5:30.

I can't wait to see bnw's pictures!

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Urgh, this morning I was happy not to have an office to drag myself to. 'Twas (too much) fun last nite.

I am scared of bnw's pictures. I think he caught me in mid-pantomime of something, I cannot recall what...

― Jen (nstop), Thursday, 21 November 2002 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Spanish Bar? Cual es ese?

I fell asleep too as soon as I had the chance, circa midnight. But strangely I didn't make it to work today either. Being my own boss, I shall have to have some harsh words with myself.

― Paul Eater (eater), Thursday, 21 November 2002 19:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Amazing.

And for the record; LES = Williamsburg West.

― jm, Thursday, 21 November 2002 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

We're well aware, JM.

bnw's pictures are going to be odd. I vaguely remember standing in front of a smoking car, and vogueing or something.

You've all made me sick! I'm actually not playing hooky from work - I've gotten extrodinarily stuffed up, and SWOLLEN.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I was in Kew Gardens, Queens, otherwise known as the birthplace of Simon & Garfunkel by 8:30 am this morning...yay, me! B-but I was a very, very grouchy teacher...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:10 (twenty-three years ago)

The problem is, besides the obvious "up til 6:30 thing", that I already had a cold. I shouldn't have come out but like I keep saying I am the party whore.

Hey, where IS bnw?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I totally forgot about the smoking car! I just remember the drunk guy making out with the poster, the gyro girl, and photos of Tim which we will never ever be showing.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

The Gyro Girl was totally foxy.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

"Hey, where IS bnw? "

Oh no! Is he on the loose? bnw to thread! [I love saying that...]

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

BNW is a superhero in disguise. He is flying around the city right now rescuing trembling firemen from ravenous kittens.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:53 (twenty-three years ago)

JBR just woke up. :-)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Good morning, JBR!

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Matos (where were you, dude?) will be amused to know that we ended up in Around the Clock at one point.

We left without ordering anything because we were broke and tired and not that hungry.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:16 (twenty-three years ago)

BNW is a superhero in disguise. He is flying around the city right now rescuing trembling firemen from ravenous kittens.

This is really disturbing, Ned.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:17 (twenty-three years ago)

*bows*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:32 (twenty-three years ago)

So now the three times I have stayed out allll night in Manhattan, Ally has been somewhere in the immediate vicinity. It was decided by Tim that I am the UK equivalent of jel and for some reason only understood in drunken logic, we must now have a throwdown or "Fite!" if you will.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:44 (twenty-three years ago)

So now the three times I have stayed out allll night in Manhattan

Bah. 4:30 is not "allll night." Amateur.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Er make that the US equivalent of jel. But only if jel has as much problem with remembering what country he lives in as apparently I do.

maura.com showed up! We called her a rockist for her controversial ways.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Now back to the kittens, BNW.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:51 (twenty-three years ago)

So now the three times I have stayed out allll night in Manhattan, Ally has been somewhere in the immediate vicinity.

It's always my fault innit. Miss Ally...So Addictive or something like that. Anyway you look nothing like Harry Potter ergo you are not jel.
