The '?' is veronitron, my wife. She was in NYC visiting friends this weekend and decided to pop in.

i say, good show man.
so you used like .5% of your shots, right?

what was your excuse, Amber? You need a damned clown at every meetup now?

The people in these photos are much better looking than the people in the Metafilter photos from other American cities.

I wonder if that's because a disproportionate amount of the photos feature MeFiosos from the back?

That comment went really great with your name, Awkward.

Still no boobies?

ParisParamus is an asian girl? I was thinking more a Patrick Bateman type.

What a total Girlzone.

Next time we're going to need a velvet rope and a bouncer to keep the guidos out.

No mds35, still no boobies, but I do look four months pregnant.

As usual, I hate every photo of me. But the rest are nice. And we went to three bars, slack. One had a greatly weird film playing.

Four, if you count the secret backroom bar-within-a-bar.

This is great, I love the storytelling and the randomness (wingnut).

hoh, the creature!!! that poor baby was sorely in need of a beer, but no-one would buy it a round.

also, why the frell do my lips get so red when I've been drinking?!

also, yeah, how come I did not know PP was hot? not exactly what was in my mind for all the shoutouts I've done in the past.

You all had so much fun without poor, sick Uncle Jonmc. You have abandoned me.

*sniff*

also also, more than a few of those shots are truly excellent. I think mr. shiv may have a little competition.

many thanks to you for the great pics, stickycarpet!

jon: I don't think anyone felt worthy to truly molest the jukebox, if that makes you feel any better...

Yep.

Wowie! Great photos. Dame, you don't like this one? I think it's adorable.
posted by taz at 11:40 PM on October 17, 2005

you know, I bet we could easily have turned the creature into a racist dunk-tank baby. and I think that damned baby stayed up later than I did, curse its scaly hide.

I take it this is paris !

If thats him , he looks like Ambers relative or something.

Good photos, looks like quite the happening meetup. I should come to another one sometime.

The third bar was called monkey nation, or something. They were too cool to have a sign. (There. I am not a lurker anymore.)
posted by leetsi at 8:32 AM on October 18, 2005

No, taz, I look like a total goof. And that, sgt.serenity, is my boy. Please do not put the PP near him.
posted by dame at 9:55 AM on October 18, 2005

Yeah, to echo the PP comments - Is this an asian girl staring down at the small-man-sounding (too small for cameras) PP, or PP himself?
posted by Peter H at 12:55 PM on October 18, 2005

mds35: boobies.

She means "boy," in the dating sense, not the Mr. Peabody sense.

Looks like good times. I'm sorry to have missed it.

MetaFilter -- Please do not put the PP near me

I thought you looked awesome, dame.
posted by matildaben at 2:02 PM on October 18, 2005

One day I'll come to one of these again. Always an excuse. The glossies this time make it look like such elegant fun.

Actually Dame, all this years I have been PP, I've been meaning to tell you but just never got around to it. Do you still love me now?

He he, anyways, great pictures StickyCarpets!

No, darling, say it isn't true! Actually then we'd know he was performance art. Or else our relationship is performance art?
posted by dame at 2:44 PM on October 18, 2005

I'd just like to say that I had no idea Duff's would be so horrendous. That's why we weren't still there when the rest of you arrived. I have slapped the person who told me it was "like Sweetwater used to be". Soundly.

You were missed jonmc!
