After a few hours we will decamp to Lillie's Bar, also in Red Hook, say around midnite and after.
Directions to follow. Trucker hats optional. Hope you can make it.

Sunny's Bar253 Conover St. (btwn Beard and Reed Sts.)718.625.8211
Take the F/G to Smith/9th St., then get the B77 bus.Or, take the A/C/F to Jay St./Borough Hall, then get the B61 bus.
Take the B61 bus toward Red Hook. Get off near the end of the line at Van Brunt & Beard Sts., walk 1 block right and 1/2 block left. Or take the B77 bus.
Driving from Manhattan: take the Brooklyn Bridge and get off at the Court Street exit--then take a left on Cadman Plaza West, which will turn into Court St. Go about a mile, past Atlantic Avenue, and take a right on Sackett Street. Continue straight, across the overpass over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, and take a left on Van Brunt Street.Continue down almost to the end of Van Brunt (you'll see the waterfront up ahead) and take a right on Beard Street. Go one block and take a left on Conover Street--halfway down the block you'll see a big sign that says BAR.
Of course Yancey claims the best way is via the Bergen St. subway stop. Maybe he can explain.
Another option: take the F to Carroll Gardens and call the Arecibo Car Service -- 718.783.6465. It will cost around $6.

They serve pizza. Maybe we could meet there for dinner *before* the drinking commences. Or is it lame? We should also turn this into the Red Hook general info sharing thread.

An idea that would be cool but I'm not married to is that we never went to Karaoke last Saturday because we had to go to Astoria by means of the NYC train system sticking its dick in our ears.

I liked Sunny's; it had a real Fell's Point/Annapolis twenty years ago sailor bar vibe. The acoustic work shop was . . . pleasant, but you couldn't tell much difference between "Jolie Blon" and "In My Father's House" when they played them, which isn't a good thing. The surf band at Lillie's seemed cooler, even though they screwed up "Pipeline".
Somebody went for a smoke and never came back, so that's one less head case I'll ever have to meet.
And there's no way Tobias said I have a perfect German accent -- more likely he said I didn't have much trace of an American accent when I speak German; I speak German like a Viennese garbage collector. Tobias is very cool and I hereby insist he start posting more often! (He and Gareth and I bonded over our love-hate relationships with the US.)
I left early 'cause I had a gig yesterday, which went really well, and then as I was putting my trumpet away I got vicious stomach cramps, which is why I was semi-concious in Daddino's bed (and who hasn't wanted to be in that position?) when y'all were AIMing last night. I'm better today.
Next stop: getting you New York folks to take the train ride down to Charm City so Millar and I can pick out the bars.

too late. anyway, sorry bout that. "somebody" was getting bad vibes from someone else and wasn't up to spending the evening going out of her way to avoid her. nice to hear you had a good time, colin.
