Saying goodbye to the old year, L.A. style. December 20, 2008 6:26 PM Subscribe
L.A. folks: let's get together and bid farewell to '08.
I'm escaping the nasty New York weather to bask in the warm glow of the California sun either December 29th or 30th. If we can wrangle enough people together for dinner, drinks, and to begin the New Year's debauchery early, let's meet up!

I'm currently basking in the cold snow of northern Michigan, but if for some reason this doesn't happen until the 2nd (or later), I'll be around/up for it.

I'll be around, and assuming I don't get laid low by the hideous flu that's knocked out my boyfriend, I'm up for it. Is this where the old East Side vs. West Side wrangle comes in? Because I'm always happy to make a case for the Valley (e.g., Studio City and environs) as a good compromise.

I'm available both evenings, but the 30th is preferable. In the chance that this ends up being in the Valley (per scody's suggestion), I heartily recommend the Sportsmen's Lodge. It's supposedly closing after New Year's and this very well may be our last chance to pay tribute to a quiet legend. Seriously folks...remember how much fun we had last time? 'member? It was grand.

Make sure the lounge is actually open and all the noobs have proper directions. We tried this location for our last meetup, the lounge was closed, and we couldn't coordinate to quickly arrange a new meeting spot. The fail was epic.

Good tip. I just spoke with the woman on the phone at the Lodge and she says that the Muddy Moose Lounge will be open on Tuesday the 30th. This is pretty much the second-to-last night at the Lodge ever (there's a special event on the 31st that costs $$$).
It's closing after New Year's Eve and that they don't know what's happening with the place because there's a new owner. Rumor has it that it might be turned into some sort of upscale shopping place. Yikes!

It doesn't look like Machine Project has anything scheduled for the dates in question, but that does look like a cool thing to do in the future. The Muddy Moose, however, may not be around much longer, so now seems like the perfect time to crash the joint. (By "crashing" I mean "outnumber the old folks".) I'll miss that place!

Okay, this sucks. I just called the Lodge again to let them know to expect a medium-sized group and they are actually not open on the 30th. Even though I asked the girl on the phone twice last night and she said they were definitely open. Fuck.
Anyone know how to remove a sidebar? Sorry about this, but I'm glad I called again. I guess the floor is open to other suggestions.

Canter's is OK, though a bit weirdly geriatric. On the other hand, if we're lucky, we'll get to meet Slash (that's his regular hang-out). Parking can be INSANE though.
I've wanted to have a meet-up out at The Daily Pint for a while, though it's in Santa Monica. It's an awesome Scotch bar, which also has great beer (including some hand-pulled) and is pretty reasonably cheap, has a pretty great shuffleboard table and a pretty good selection of board games. I've had quasi-meetups there before, and it can handle a crowd.

Woo! Canter's is literally on my way home from work, and yet I've never thought of having a meetup there before. Work's for me. Parking on a Tuesday night might be all right, I think -- there's the restaurant lot, plus the pay lot a block north. Sadly I've never seen Slash there, though I have seen Rodney Bingenheimer.

I'll be in the South Bay and southeast LA for most of my trip, so the Valley wouldn't be ideal. But if you guys think we'll have a better turnout in the Valley, I'm game.

Canter's is just up the street from me, so I'd be all for it. With the great exodus, parking should be ok. Daily Pint could be fun, too, though.

Cool, so 6 for sure (everyone who's sick: feel better!). I'll see about getting a table for 8 or so (in the event klang or a few other folks show up), probably in the room between the main dining room and the Kibitz Room.
I'll get there around 7 and will hover by the bakery for a bit to see if I see any other people flashing the super-secret-LA-mefi-cabal signal. For those of you who don't know the signal (I am not at liberty to say what it is), I'll be the tall woman in a black skirt and red sweater and long-ish hair, possibly in a ponytail. Otherwise, ask for our table under my name (Sara).

In all seriousness, I was totally going to come but I caught something awful and have been hacking and blowing my nose uncontrollably for two days now. And my girl friend, whom I had planned to introduce to the MeFiverse, is feeling equally gross. In fact, we were driving up Fairfax on the way to the deli, both making miserable company for each other, when we just decided to do ourselves and everyone else a favor and turn around.
I've been trying to sleep for two hours but the guilt is keeping me awake. Sorrrry everyone! Hope you all had a grand time.

We didn't get back in town until about 11pm and then had to check on neighbor's cats (since she was leaving as we were getting home).
We got to wait an extra 45 minutes because we were, like, 20 cars back from a totally stupid looking accident on the 405.
Sorry folks. What are y'all doing tonight?

The Tonga Hut!? Wow, the meetups are getting closer and closer to where I live. Pretty soon they'll be in my garage! Awesome!
Seriously, that's the closest bar to my house. Well, not counting the Tejano bar that's conveniently located right next to the makeshift pentacostal Jesucristo church in the Circuit City mall. (That could be an interesting meetup too... first drink too much, then stagger next door, get saved by Jesucristo, and stagger back for a post-salvation tequila shot.)

Damn you, Canter's Deli. I got the worst case of food poisoning ever after eating that reuben sandwich at the meetup, and two days later I'm still feeling like crap. I hope everyone else dodged the bullet, that'll be the last time I go back there.
Anyway, pics are up, enjoy :)

I wanted to come but couldn't make it but I'm totally up for a meetup soon. Especially if folks want to come downtown...
