Tickets bought and will be crashing with the mighty cool Maura and her boyfriend, so really this is all about suggesting meet-ups and meals and whatnot. I'll be arriving way early Friday March 25 and will probably spend most of the day resting up but after that I'm pretty much open through early afternoon the 27th, so rah. Revive this thread as needed as the time comes closer, talk more now, whatever works...

(Dinner suggestions for Friday? Also, I need to figure out with Maura and Joe what their thoughts on things are too -- plus my non-ILX friends in the area who want to join in! This is going to be busy but fun. :-))
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)
should we have dinner in the park slope/ft. greene area (where southpaw is)?
― lychee mello (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)
Let me get a hold of a few folks tonight and I will plot and plan further. I admit I'm still feeling a major Taverna Kyklades jones for Saturday. Also, will brunch be a horrifically bad idea on Easter Sunday unless we book ahead right this second?

I've never actually been to it, but a friend was trying to take me there a couple weeks ago, and when we got there the place was boarded up. She was disappointed, but we went to the S. African place instead, which was pretty good.

Tom isn't here yet so it throws a spanner in meeting up with anyone any time before like 10ish or 11ish because we have to get his stuff uptown, get our own food, etc which is why I haven't posted on this thread yet, I didn't know until today what time he'd get here!!
Ned if you all don't make it to tonic tonight I believe you have my # so call Saturday--I can't meet up on Sunday due 2 easter so i guess it depends on what you guys have planned for tomoorrow, it seems like you guys already have a pretty militaristic itinerary going!

I went downstairs and some dude accosted me about paying a cover charge and I was I like "I'm not paying a fuckin' cover charge just to see if my friends are here, especially when it's likely they've already left." And then I just scampered out.
― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 26 March 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)
ned and i were there! we were near the front. we stayed through the first 20 minutes of robyn's set and ducked out around 9:15 to see who we could find at siberia. answer: no one! but a few phone calls later, we did manage to track down maura and joe and hstencil. apparently EVERYONE ELSE was at this tonic thing and had we known this we would have just gone straight there from southpaw. ah well, hopefully i'll see some of you tonight.

However, today is the day, so -- Ally! I don't have your cell number with me, so plz mail it to me at ned@kuci.org? I will check my mail later today around mid-afternoon as I can. If you have already done so I will call later. :-)
Show was grand, Hurting, credit to ya!
TODAY -- Maura and I were going to grab brunch around here and then after that is record shopping in the company of some friends. To keep things simple -- dinner is still on at 6 pm at Taverna Kyklades in Astoria. Make it as you can! If not, I need numbers so I can contact you for whatever plans follow later in the night. (See, this isn't TOO militaristic.) As I said I will check mail during the afternoon via net cafe to see what's up.

Sorry I missed you. I just poked my head in for a second, didn't see anyone I recognized and left. It was already getting late by that time, so I figured everyone had gone home or to another bar.
― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 26 March 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)
Taverna K -- take the N line all the way to its stopping point in Astoria, is about two blocks over, 33 and Ditmars, 33-07 Ditmars. 6 pm still the time of choice.

it was also nice to talk to dee -- it was too loud and cold where we were when we called, so it was kinda pointless to talk too long. but it was still great!!

have a great easter, everyone!!

So wait wait wait....where is everybody going after Taverna Kyklades?
we went to the bohemian hall beer garden! we didn't stay for very long though; we were more interested in talking than doing any serious drinking.

tonic was fun, for those that made it down there, finally met fellow englander d.stelfox at last.
saturday got a bit messed up due to my erractic sleep schedule, we went to a good japanese place near hasaki (but not hasaki this time), then hoped to catch up with tracer at misshapes, but it wasnt to be
sunday was the morrissey night at sway, this was just me and mary, and, despite all the tedious morrissey records, it was actually quite nice
― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)
I would have loved to go to Misshapes--but we ate so much at Yokocho and left there at 2 in the morning--I was too filled up on grapefruit shochu and fried squid legs to go anywhere.
Miss you, love you, NYC.
― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)
quite good. it took us nearly an hour to get our six-top (to be fair, the place was PACKED, and it was easter sunday), but once we sat down we got waited on and served very quickly.
