Is the aforementioned NYC meetup, 6pm at the Magician this Saturday (02/12), still on? Or did everyone just go to ~~suck up to~~ greet Jessamyn last weekend instead?

Just kidding about the sucking up :D I would probably have gone too if not for a prior engagement.

Any chance you guys would consider moving it to the following weekend? (the 19-20th)

I personally can't =/ but I'm not exactly a lynchpin of the local group, either.

I ccould stop by this weekend. But I'm outa town next weekend. So I vote for sooner rather than later.

Hopefully, the 'glow and the 'bangs will make it out.

I'm in for this weekend. Next weekend is impossible, though.

But does it really have to start so early? 6pm??!! Where will you suckas be at 8pm? And more importantly, is chicobangs coming. OR WHAT?!

All of a sudden, I have plans to be in the city this weekend. How wonderful.

By: CunningLinguist

CunningLinguist — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 11:56:41 -0800

Crud, I'm outvoted. Fine. I was even going to pick up the tab.

Happy hour ends at 8pm. Good argument for earlier.

Somebody important informed me this was some kind of romantic weekend. I'm out.

Only because you know it's Lent for some of us, and you were figuring for a dry spell. C'mon, admit it...

I've never been to a meetup (longtime mefi-reader, only recently a user), and will be working this weekend, but would come to a splinter-meetup scheduled for the following one. (C.Linguist, amber.g)

By: riffola

riffola — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 12:39:20 -0800

cl, we could have a mini meetup next week too! Great thing about NYC is someone or the other from MeFi is always visiting. :)

Pfft. Valentine's Day is crap. Besides, doing anything special then implies you don't want to be romantic the other 364, which is bullshit.

Come drink with us!

I'm under the weather so may or may not be able to make it this weekend. It's in my book, but will depend on a speedy recovery...

By: jonmc

jonmc — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 12:48:29 -0800

I'm not feeling so good. It's 50/50 whether I'll be there.

By: cyrusdogstar

cyrusdogstar — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:03:34 -0800

Hope you can make it, jon, and if not then get well soon =)

By: amberglow

amberglow — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:07:58 -0800

ok--we're doing both...newbies more than welcome, as always

By: falconred

falconred — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:09:23 -0800

I'm in!

And cunning, if you post a new meetup call saying you'll pick up the tab, I'm sure you'll get someone to show up. :)

By: Captaintripps

Captaintripps — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:15:00 -0800

I hope someone will pick up my tab. I'm unemployed for two weeks.

I'm in too, but it looks like Dorian is out for this one. Boo-ooo!

By: safetyfork

safetyfork — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:21:09 -0800

Agreed. But the plan has been made. And the plan won't accomplish anything if it's not implemented. As for this weekend, I think a remedy cannot be found...And it makes me think of everyone. Have fun. I'll drink with you all in the future.

By: Captaintripps

Captaintripps — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:24:40 -0800

Mmm, tap water.

By: cyrusdogstar

cyrusdogstar — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:27:05 -0800

Once, I had, like, a dozen tap waters at one bar. Totally fucked me up, man. I could barely see for two days!

Hope to see you some other time, safetyfork :)

It's this weekend because people are visiting, no? Anyway, I'll probably be there, but latish.

I'm a big maybe.

But you'll all love me anyway.

By: Smart Dalek

Smart Dalek — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 16:21:30 -0800

cyrus & Captain: tap water is nothing. When we get together, I'll hook you up with some ice cubes. That stuff'll put you on a stretcher in no time.

I'd love to, but I'm in a show this weekend. So: poo.

Much love.

Dude, I've got a line on some steam. Freebasing is always the best.

Ah, damn. The one weekend the next two months I won't be in NYC. I sure would have liked to meet some, if not all of you in person for the first time. Alas, next time. (That's actually one of my favorite bars, my band used to rent a rehearsal space right down rivington from there.)

sorry boo, I is in fact in boston at this very moment. where it is $#!%@ snowing, which should not be surprising.

(do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?!)

will be up for next weekend but it sounds like I will miss naxos. sigh.

dorian, you are the Lane Myer to my Monique Junot! I'll make sure to give you a shout from NYC. We could also try to get a Hoboken/JC meet-up together in the next few weeks?

I'm starting a new schedule at work (ugh), so I don't think I'll be able to make it :-(
Next time, though!

6pm? Oy. The Magician is the bar next to the god-awful La Caverna and across the street from Welcome to the Johnson's, no?

I assume someone's going to have a big 1 LUB M3T4F1LT3R sign written in magic marker on a big ol' piece of construction paper taped to the wall?

By: amberglow

amberglow — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 10:35:55 -0800

just look for me, fet, or anyone from the previous meetups

Would have liked to go but just checked bank balance. Am in single digits until Wednesday. Probably should not be splurging on train fare...

By: Smart Dalek

Smart Dalek — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 16:27:41 -0800

Sorry all, couldn't make it - scheduling conflict.
I'll have to try for the next one.
