Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

OK, so Vicky and I are getting hitched on the 24th, and everyone coming over is still around on the Sunday. It really would be dumb not to have the mega transatlantic super FAP wouldn't it?

We need a place to go fellers.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay! have fun over there!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 5 February 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the NYCers are currently in apathy mode right now, so you'll have to bang on this subject again and again, but hey, I'll be there.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I would wholeheartedly approve of a FAP any/every night between 22nd and 29th April.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

How many people are going over from London? Chris, Vicky, Barry, Madchen, Stevem (?)... anyone else?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Jonnie, tim, pete, Mikey G, cookie, possibly Stevem, Carsmile and Mrs Carsmile. I have forgotten others I'm sure.

Some call it a wedding, others an invasion

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Glasgow, ahem. Ally C will be with me. We haven't actually booked tickets yet - should happen tonight.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I am very very excited! Are you flying from Glasgow, Lucy? I am trying to book a flight today - BA, £260. If anyone has anything cheaper or better, holla back!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Air India are about 180 quid I think - Carsmile to thread!

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark! I had a set of tokens collected from the Groanydad for return flights (American Airlines?) for £189 which I never used because it was from Heathrow. Had to be booked by 31st January - I thought you'd got your tickets ages and ages ago. Sheesh.

We're booking the whole bundle through Expedia - direct flight from Glasgow and 7 nights hotel from about £500.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 5 February 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

what dort of place should we try and have it? Somewhere small that we'd take over or somewhere big where we wouldn't get noticed?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoa. That's a lot of people.

I think most places would be ok on Sunday nights, I mean I've never really noticed anything besides clubs having events being really full on a Sunday. That being said the earlier this is done the better, since it's a Sunday night (several people I can think of who might show wouldn't be able to stay that late).

― Allyzay, Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

This are British people, remember? Drinking will start at 5.30 and end at 11.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

THESE are, even...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Ally, we (me and Vic) are staying west 55th street, with lots of people in that vicinity. I think what we need is a decent place that we can get everyone together in and generally get plastered.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it would be rad to book an upstairs room or something, if sauch things can be done in Manhattan.

I booked my flight with BA today - £260. I'm not too much of a mug, am I?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

it's the british invasion, v.2004!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

no Mark, that sounds about right, about the same as my Mum got actually.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I say Siberia. I don't know of any other place we can go to that's properly big enough, though it's not the greatest area to go wandering around.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

haha oh, siberia.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

would my Mum like it? (doubt she'd be out with the menkos though)

whereabouts is it?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Why not do like the July 4th FAP and just skip Siberia and go take over Bellevue? There will be porn and they will thank you for getting fucked up there. Hell's Kitchen (right?).

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

What to Manhattanites think of Fez? Seing as it's the only bar I can actually remember by name, and it's where we had the NYC Tigermilking a couple of years ago.

(NB this is not a suggestion, just a question)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Ally, we (me and Vic) are staying west 55th street, with lots of people in that vicinity

Haha why are you sorry?? The fact that you want to stay in the vicinity is a big huge bonus for me actually showing up (I'm up on 168th now and the idea of going to the Lower East Side YET AGAIN is becoming less and less attractive).

Siberia has a shitty selection of drinks, fwiw. Bellevue is much better drink-wise and jukebox-wise but also much smaller. However getting there proper early like, the place will be totally empty so we can just take it over if necessary. Bryan is OTM.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha dude, Barcode.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

i got a very good blow job in siberia once, though.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I was sorry at the lack of info, not our choice of base.

The 168th? Isn't that like, in Canada?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

El Malecon on 175!

― Stringent Stepper (Stringent), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i got a very good blow job in siberia once, though.

Well that's a plus for Siberia then!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

bit cold, though.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

BOOM BOOM

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

*sniggers*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

*wrestles with temptation to fly out for this and be a nuisance*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

*cheers*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I request the presence of Dang, deeb, and Elvis T.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

What is it with Siberia prompting blow job desire? Oh, right, there's nothing else to do in Siberia.

At least I think that was in Siberia.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Siberia's bathrooms are nice and clean.
I just checked on flights. I know very few of you like me but I'm not that bad. I'll let you break my ribs!

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

(I'm just kidding about coming so don't worry)

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been warned off Siberia - apparently Brenda wouldn't like it. and by the sounds of it neither would I.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

What would you not like about it (allegedly)?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe we should consult with Phil about any good sleazy gay bars uptown, instead.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Why wouldnt you like Siberia?

― Stringent Stepper (Stringent), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

It's definitely far too soon to me to commit this, especially with other trips planned to SF and Portland -- I'll have to see where I stand come April. But this sounds fun! I haven't been in NYC in the spring yet.

I didn't mind Siberia but Bellevue was more fun. The visions of TOMBOT and Anthony getting down are burned into my brain.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I had it described to me as a dodgy Hoxton bar with bad drinks. Bad drinkls make my liver cry :o(

and Hoxton bars make me want to kill people

― chris (chris), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

bad drinks thing is true (unless the owner breaks out his georgian vodka), but in no way shape or form does it resemble a hoxton bar.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

haha we were definitely the trendiest people there on the 4th. What sort of drinks does you liver hate?

xpost

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom got kicked out of Siberia anyway, I say it's a bad place to go. It was wholly godawful on July 4th, which is why a group of us left to begin with. I don't know at what point a bar stops being alright and starts being awful but that point came for Siberia a while ago now IMO.

Bryan you make me sad and depressed, why for just kidding? You can stay at my apartment! It'll be totally different from last time you were in NYC. You know why.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren, I thought that read "georgi vodka." I was repulsed and confused as to why anyone would think that crap is good vodka. Ha.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, ick! ice-cold georgian vodka = perfection. georgi vodka = waking up in a ditch.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG please not Siberia or Bellevue. Please no, omg please, please omg, please, please omg omg. Anywhere except Siberia or Bellevue. Anywhere. Actually, not Welcome to the Johnsons either.

There's this hilarious fag bar on 59th street where we can sing showtunes with a bunch of old queens and boy hustlers.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Skipping 220 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

I think Lauren should move to L.A. and pull a Laurel Canyon.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

that would require a seismic wardrobe shift, m. i'm not sure if i could pull off the floaty, layered look.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Gah! either can't do the 25th or can only do the tail end of it, depending on how things work out.

Anything planned on the 23rd?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i would love to get naked all over this but i can't until you're in KY

luv,

gygax!

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

hstencil, do you like the padres? are you chan or my sister?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

gygax! I'm not going to Kentucky.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

so what time is this april 25th FAP action going down? is it still at DBA?

― geeta, Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

DBA around 5 or 6pm then? will most likely come straight from Coney Island (unless that ends up being a Monday thing)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, then afterwards like at midnite or so we can go to Shout and the Brits can dance to northern soul & stuff with all the kids who wish they were in london!

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish that shout still played northern soul!

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

they did when i used to go.. like when i was a sophomore in college. is it not the same DJs?

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, but they've really moved out of that whole vibe.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

there's an open vodka bar at The Park for the Rambles party later on Sunday nights. like 9-11 or something. oh, but its a gay thing.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM LEAVING WORK!!!

This time tomorrow I will be there!!!

A northern soul night?!!!

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

not anymore, sigh.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

holy fuckin' shit!
d.b.a. have a webcam - we can have the first ever live worldwide FAP!!!

― Paul (scifisoul), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone's just walked in at 5.30 and helped themselves to the till receipts!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

oh jeebus...

i have 41 minutes of work left, cooome ooon!!!

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Sheriff Fatman is one the radio. I think it's a sign.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

5 or 6 at dba on Sunday is ok by me, we will stop by.

Fri: are you all still doing the whitney thing? If anyone is at a loss for things to do during the day you can come to the wbar BBQ at 117&Broadway, it is free and beer is $2 and there will be live music by bands I am unfamiliar with and also, obviously, BBQ (vegetarian options will be available in abundance because college students are a bunch of hippies, obviously). It starts at 12 and I'll be there til at least 4 poss. later serving beer. I might stop by the whitney if people are still doing that but that all depends on northbound Amtrak.

I can't do anything late on Friday because I am required to go see an opera early the next day.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

japanther and the no neck blues band are two of the bands playing at the bbq.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

As for the Whitney, all I know is that me, RJG and Stevem expressed interest in going.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh i wanna go do that and then Lauren's event. i could be delayed tomorrow so i may just head to Pete's Candy Store (see Mint Julep thread or here). Geeta, Chris B, Pete and Carsmile have got my mobile if anyone wants to meet up somewhere in Manhattan first.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Sucko. I'm going to be in NYC the following night. :(

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

you mean the Monday? i'm still here then

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

note to self: write down steve, vicky and tim's mobile numbers.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry to not only spam, but spam large...I have a bad sense of how big things will be on a web-page.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

both nights sound good - whether i come depends on a number of things including whether i can get back into my accommodation on my own at an ungodly hour and how long the reception goes on til, and how utterly ruined i am

off home now, next time you hear from me i should be inna area, wuh-hoo!

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

can people who know what's going on post an updated schedule as we get closer to events? I guess that would be, like, right away...?

― Paul (scifisoul), Friday, 23 April 2004 05:13 (twenty-one years ago)

hey paul see http://my.calendar.net/uknyc for suggestions, announcements and stuff

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 23 April 2004 11:07 (twenty-one years ago)

add an s after calendar

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 23 April 2004 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve I thought that maybe I'd have part of my Monday night available but it looks like the company bringing me in will be doing a dinner at 8pm-ish, so time will probably be tight. If you're going to be available even later (10 or 11pm) in the midtown area (around the Plaza ho ho) maybe drop me an email or something....though I'll probably be wiped out by that point.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 23 April 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks stevem - what time is the d.b.a. FAP on Sunday - 6pm?

― Paul (scifisoul), Saturday, 24 April 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm gonna get there around 5, 5.30.

― Allyzay, Sunday, 25 April 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

ok ILXORs - this bar cam goes live with other real ILXORs in one to two hours!

http://www.drinkgoodstuff.com/ny/webcam.asp

― Paul (scifisoul), Sunday, 25 April 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

those scruffy people you see in there by 6pm might just be us...

― Paul (scifisoul), Sunday, 25 April 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

scruffy drunkards

― Paul (scifisoul), Sunday, 25 April 2004 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

It is strangely captivating watching the bar.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 25 April 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

most people seem oblivious to the cam
there's a vaguely ilxish (or ends-ish) vibe already (5:15)

― Paul (scifisoul), Sunday, 25 April 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Should we start a separate thread for ILX voyeurism?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Hm, and as said voyeur, I just see me a red x.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

just got in - that was fun - mega-FAP !

unfortunately for viewers, most of the time we were at a larger table area in the back of the bar off to the right of the webcam view. beyond that there was a back tented seating area with heating lamps hanging from the top, then behind that a smoking area / garden.

towards the end of the FAP (11:30-ish), most of us were gathered in front of the cam though.

at the peak it was probably about 15 from the UK side and maybe 11 of us from New York.
good seeing & meeting all of you!

― Paul (scifisoul), Monday, 26 April 2004 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I felt too sick to go. : (

― hstencil, Monday, 26 April 2004 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel too sick now

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow that's scary that they had a webcam. I wish I would've known... I would've waved hi or something.

Nice seeing everyone last night. Tonight it's Lotus, which is at the corner of Clinton and Stanton in the Lower East Side.
