Meet Jessamyn in NYC

January 28, 2005 1:42 PM

jessamyn will be in NYC next weekend, and she's free on Sunday evening, 6 Feb. If we take her out for drinks, maybe she'll let us touch the ban-hammer! (Or at least the delete-mallet.)

I'm going to suggest Rififi, on East 11th Street, at 7 PM before it gets too loud.

Oh really. Hmmmmmm!

There's a big meetup the weekend after that, but I could pencil alittle something in.

And I'm always down for Rififi.

Say hi for me (from here in Seattle, her old stomping grounds).

I used to perform at Rififi until the night we bombed. Maybe I'll drop on by.

what happens if she gets really drunk and then decides to ban mathowie?

Be sure to bring a thousand questions with you to ask Jessamyn.

if your job and/or unemployment pays less than my public librarian part-time job + mefi "job" then yes, drinks are on me!

I might actually qualify. And I work full time. This is sad.

Still trying to figure out when the movers are coming, but I hope to be at at least one of these shindigs.

So, just how does one list "Metafilter Network" Moderator on their professional resume?

I'd be in, but I'll be in Puerto Rico. Have fun!

In the "self-abuse" section?

Far as I know, Jessamyn just has an oven-mitt, not an iron gauntlet.

Still: grill her.

I'm in, and heck, I'll buy jessamyn a drink.

I'm in. Plus that Rififi place is like 6 blocks from my Apt., so I vote for that.

Sweet... I'm currently taking out student loans, so I'm making negative money. I win.

Can Jessamyn back up a week later?

No, but drinks are on me if anyone wants to come to Central Vermont. However, the bars close at 11. Oven mitt, I like that.

When my wife and I make it to Vermont to visit the meditation center her parents were living at when she was born, we're going to drop in for some tea or hot chocolate. We'll give you plenty of notice. Promise.

Sounds good; add me to the list of intended attendees.
posted by mdn at 3:19 PM on January 29, 2005

I can probably be there.

i just realized it's superbowl sunday isn't it? won't the bar be packed? maybe mid-afternoon would be better?
posted by amberglow at 1:42 PM on January 30, 2005

The game kicks off at 6:30.

They do have a couple of small TVs in the front room of Rififi (if I remember), but I don't suspect they'll have the sound up if the DJs are on, so if that's not enough then maybe going either much earlier or a little later (the game won't be over until about 10 or so, especially with the Cover-Your-Naughty-Bits Tabernacle choir or whoever doing the halftime show).
posted by chicobangs at 3:09 PM on January 30, 2005

maybe earlier? (i'm in 2 pools at 2 diff bars so have to be elsewhere definitely by halftime or earlier)
posted by amberglow at 6:08 AM on January 31, 2005

So far, there's three nyc meetups of varying magnitude this month. I hope to make at least one, and I really want to see Jessamyn drink with the oven mitt on.
posted by safetyfork at 12:10 PM on January 31, 2005

So, what is the status of the meet-up? Earlier as amberglow suggested above or 7pm?
posted by mlis at 4:20 PM on February 4, 2005

And is it still rififi?
