Oh man I am hung over from beer, cigarettes and karaoke. But I will recover!

You weren't by chance doing karaoke in a room full of drag queens, were you scarabic? Cos that's how I spent Friday night.

If I wasn't buried in stuff to do for school tomorrow and thoroughly thrashed from this weekend, you could count me in.

I'll come meet you all next time.

Don't be ridiculous CRM114, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the mathowie and scarabic. If I knew where you lived (and it's a good thing I don't), I'd come over from packing my suitcase for my flight tonight and beat you with a clue-bat.

i'd love to come by but have a cold, so am not sure I'll be up to it... have fun!

I also just recalled that I've got a meeting for the journal I'm editing at 6. How long do the meetups usually go for on Sunday nights? If I get done with my stuff early, I cruise over to Revival. I am within walking distance, after all.
posted by CRM114 at 10:47 AM on March 26, 2006

I imagine we'll be there until at least 9 (and that's a conservative estimate).

Come someone please bring a camera? dorian usually does, but I'm not sure if he's coming.

Just keep jon's pasty legs out of the pictures, please.

I'd come, but alas, I'm underage. Next time, maybe.

Psst, booksandlibretti- they never card at the door. You'd be able to get in.

That one in Brooklyn broke up about 2:30 am.

I'll bring a camera.

Okay, I'm down. This is Revival in Harlem, right?
posted by CRM114 at 11:36 AM on March 26, 2006

No- it's on 15th St. between Irving and 3rd Ave.

I'm still looking for my Nikon fishnet stocking filter, to address the pasty leg scenario.

I want to see pictures of CRM114 wandering Harlem at midnight asking people if they know ThePinkSuperhero.

new york being what it is he'll probably wind up at the home of a flying drag queen crimefighter.

I'm bringing a good camera. Just about to go wander down there. See you all presently!
posted by scarabic at 1:18 PM on March 26, 2006

I'll be there.

There's a theme here, if only I can work it out...

My meeting rang loooonnnnggg, and I'm just getting home. I'll catch you all the next time around. Apologies to all superheros involved, in drag or otherwise.
posted by CRM114 at 6:26 PM on March 26, 2006

Wow - just rolled back to the hotel and I just had to say: NY Mefites Rock! I had a fantastic time meeting you all! What a welcoming, fun, friendly, gregarious, and very sexy crowd. I appreciated the subway escort back home!

Thanks for making me welcome, and many other warm, drunk sentiments from the heart. Pictures coming soon - though it might be a few days as my crappy work laptop is probably not up to the task.
posted by scarabic at 7:50 PM on March 26, 2006

Woo, woo, I too had a fabulous time! I'm glad that so many new people showed up- it's always great to meet new people.

And Matt!! Yaaaay Matt for showing up!! I hope we didn't scare you too much.

We are very drunk out here in Queens. And stav, buddy. It's pretty, it's so pretty if I had two sets of lips, I'd kiss mahself.

The few photos I managed to get before my camera's puny batteries died are here. TPS, the one of you is here.

'Twas nice to meet a bunch of people from the site; I'll definitely have to make sure to get to more of these things. And I'll make sure I charged the damn batteries next time, too.
posted by Godbert at 9:08 PM on March 26, 2006

YES! The investment I made December 19, 2004, has been recouped 100% and then some!
posted by Eideteker at 9:17 PM on March 26, 2006

I had a lot of fun for the hour I stayed. And very nice to meet new people.

Matt came? Fuck it.

Oh well, I went to a kick-ass show - my ears are still ringing. Caught up with the band (I knew them when they were 16, and now they can like, drink and stuff).

Last night was awesome. Much love to all.
posted by Afroblanco at 6:14 AM on March 27, 2006

Glad you showed Afroblanco! Like I said before, you should say you're going to show up in the reminder threads so your thousands of fans will show up, too.

I hope everyone had fun.

hey everyone! It was great meeting you last night. Sorry I missed you gaspode and sorry we left without seeking you out CunnLing and amber... We did though ran into Matt on his way there! See you again soon I hope!
posted by carmina at 7:46 AM on March 27, 2006

Stynxno, were you in Ithaca without dropping by to say hi? We could have had a two-man meetup!
posted by Eideteker at 8:14 AM on March 27, 2006

Aright, y'all, here are my photos. Now I'm off to sightsee!~

Unfortunate that I didn't get any of Paris!

I'm really bad with names so help me out with some comments.

Cheers!

I remove my hat in reciprocal appreciation! (I'm sure arse_hat would do the same, but then he'd be left with only his arse.)
posted by languagehat at 9:08 AM on March 27, 2006

Holy Cow! I totally missed this. I think maybe I'm glad.

Nice to meet all the new folk, though I feel sort of guilty that Scarabic ended up home so early. New York - we can do better than that!
posted by CunningLinguist at 9:09 AM on March 27, 2006

Those photos are a spirit-lifter. Especially since I'm sitting here in a fucking cubicle, listening to Springsteen and staring longingly out the window at the West Side Highway.

Lethal combination.

jonmc looks particularly spiffy, almost metro! Did you get dressed for success in honor of #1's visit?

I reckon the hats have it though - including this striking gent...

also, I can say honestly and with pride that I have blown marijuana smoke at ParisParamus.

I'm worried since that stuff leads to communism, I'm told.
posted by jonmc at 9:52 AM on March 27, 2006

Great photos, scarabic. Next time, carmina.

I would have come, but I was stuck fixing B&H's computers 'till 6am this morning. :(

You mean, Matt didn't ban ParisParamus from the bar? I'm shocked.

crunchland: Actually, one of the bartenders gave PP a short pour and mathowie gave him a one week timeout.

posted by jonmc at 11:57 AM on March 27, 2006

Eideteker: Nah. The game was located in Green Bay anyways :P It was broadcasted on fox sports net so I watched it a bar on the Upper East Side.

Mckee is awesome though. He had 59 saves before the last one went in. Oh well.

And by the time the game got out (110 minutes of hockey or something), I was too full of chicken wings and beer to go wander down to revival.
