Reminder: NYC MeFi gathering *tomorrow night* at Pioneer (218 Bowery btw. Prince & Spring. 212.334.0484) 8PM.
From CitySearch:
very new, downtown spot not yet destroyed by the bridge and tunnel crowd
I suppose if I come from work I'm cool, but if I stop home to change ( in Hoboken,NJ ) I'll be cramping the places style.
Decisions decisions.......

I have requested that Evanizer channel my incoherent and nearly witty homosexualist remarks, as I will ruefully not be in attendance. I can only hope that as he does so he is standing behind jonmc for a cheap feel.

I regret to say that I can't be there -- didn't know until too late to change plans. Take warning, folks: this is what happens when you try to "get a life" and stop reading MeFi and MeTa obsessively. I feel duly chastened.

I bought some "Hello my name is" tags today, so any interested parties can write their screen name on the tag. I for one am famous for forgetting names.

Hmm.. maybe I'll be there closer to 7 now.. I have a work-related event at 6 I should go to..
Now, how do I recognize all you freaks? I mean, john mentioned a talisman, but what will that be?
You all better not geek out on me, or else I'll have to lay some smack down.
The wife is going to be annoyed at me, so everyone better appreciate my sacrifice.
