NYC jonmc welcome-back meet-up

September 19, 2006 6:11 AM

NYC Mefites, a proposal: those of us who aren't going to Vegas for the Jonmc-Pips nuptials might welcome the happy couple back with a toast. Say, next Wednesday (9/27)?

Also, the DoubleDown Saloon on Ave A just above Houston is my new favorite bar. They have a stupendous jukebox and they serve drinks containing pork products.

Do they have bacon martinis? Because I need one of those before I die. Which will probably be soon after I drink one.

Yes, they do. I had one. It was tasty. They also will make you a Bacon Bloody Mary.

I'm interested, I may stop by.

yeah, I guess it is. I stuck with the martini, myself. It's garnished with a slim jim. The guy next to me had the bacon bloody. He seemed to enjoy it, but he was so drunk he probably could've drank Lestoil and said, 'that's real lemony, dude.'

Excellent. I have a friend in town, and may bring her along (she's married to a mefite, so she knows about us...) As well as my regular associate, the mister.

I may regret asking this, but what is the "ass juice"?
posted by brain_drain at 8:45 AM on September 19, 2006

it was a mixture of several fruity liquors, that when mixed was brown colored. Looked terrible, but tasted ok.

if they have non porcine drinks - I'm up for it.

I don't mean to hijack or derail, but this seems as appropriate a place as any... I won't be able to make it to this Wednesday thingy, as I am leaving your fine city forever on the 24th.

For a variety of reasons I will be drinking heavily throughout the weekend, and would be willing and eager to provide free drinks to any who might wish to accompany me uring any portion of the debacle.

Email in profile, hope to see some of you fine NYC mefites this weekend.

Will mefites not really aware of the wedding (who are traveling and away from home) be welcomed?
posted by filmgeek at 2:28 PM on September 19, 2006

No.

(Well duh, filmgeek. The more the merrier. Anyway, we just want to hear all the stories that are too juicy to post. Because you KNOW there will be stories too juicy to post.)
