Given that I get out of work around 5, and my girl doesn't usually get home til 7pm, I can make it if I set a new land-speed record.

I'll be there in spirit!

And here I thought all the kids in NYC had fake IDs.

I commend the venue choice, since it's only a few blocks from me. I'll be there.

I will be there, since no one has leaped forward to sponsor my attendance at the Portland meetup, despite my relentless PR campaign and shameless self-promotion.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Also: Hey Zephyrial! You should try to come anyway because that early in the evening, most bars aren't carding at the door, only inside at the bar itself. So you will probably be able to get in just fine and then drink soda or mooch drinks off us more seasoned types.

Sounds excellent. Count me in.

Afroblanco: You're heading out to Portland for the meetup? That's hardcore. Have fun! I predict I'll see you at future NYC meetups anyway.

I love DBA but I never understand why their bathroom is disgusting while the rest of the place is pretty nice :(

At least they have lots of beer. Wonder how many I can try out during a single meetup...then again, have enough and I'll need to use the disgusting bathroom :( :(

That's like asking why the bathroom at CB's had to be so nasty. Jeez, if you want pretty, fragrant, civilized bathrooms, stick to midtown.

Man, this makes me wish I still lived in NYC—I miss both d.b.a. and you crazy New York MeFites. Somebody have a single-malt for me...

In an odd confluence with the meta post right before this one, I feel too fat to be seen in public lately. Makes it hard to go to meetups.

At the moment it looks like I can make it. Can't wait to catch up, mullacc!

Oh geesh, are the bathrooms at DBA that bad???? Bleeech. Will go beforehand.

Just so you folks know, my band will be playing at the Pussycat Lounge in Manhattan this Tuesday, 7/3. Show starts at 8. It can be a mini-meetup!

TPS, if I remember correctly, dba's toilets aren't unisex---the womens' aren't the greatest, but usable.

I just like the word "bridezilla".

Jeez, if you want pretty, fragrant, civilized bathrooms, stick to midtown.

Actually, the nicest bathroom I've ever been in (flowers, candlelight, incense) was on Avenue C, no joke.

However, I just don't get why there can't be a happy medium between "no latch on the door, and shit on the walls" and "flowers and candles". I mean, dba isn't what I'd consider a dive bar, so why does it have a dive bar men's room?

Heck, all I really want is the ability to lock the door so nobody opens it when I'm in there. Is that so much to ask?

I'll be rocking upstairs at the Pussycat lounge tonight! 96 Greenwich Street, 8 PM. Come have a drink with us if you can make it.

Want to split a cab, allkindsoftime? (I'm coming from Lincoln Center)
posted by spec80 at 11:32 AM on July 10, 2007


I think maybe I can make it.

Also, the ladies' room there isn't so gross. I've seen much worse. In midtown.
