Meet up on NYC

February 5, 2005 2:10 PM

Just a reminder: drinks w/ jessamyn in NYC at Rififi, 7 PM tomorrow. If it's overrun w/ Superbowl fans let's try the back booth at Solas or the back room at Mickey's.

The alternate places are within a couple of blocks of Rififi. Till then my phone number's on my user page (look close, it's after my location - you have to be logged in to see it).

I got to Brooklyn tonight! I can be there 6-ish as well, but I'll keep Nic's phone number handy in case there's a last minute change of plans.

Fudge! Tragically for me, that's right when my poker game starts—will everyone repeatedly airkiss jessamyn's mini-banhammer for me? I'm bummed to miss Herself and this party.

I'm sorry to say I can't make it, I've got a 100.2F fever. That's what happens when you have your windows wide open to counter the massively hot heater in your room that you can't control. Sorry to miss this chance to meet jessadmyn, someone make sure she gets the full on monkey filled initiation.

I'm leaving Wednesday but likely booked up tomorrow visiting all the new babies my friends seem to have had since my last visit. Tuesday I'm at this. However, I'm in the city about every six months, so I'm sure there will be another chance if tonight doesn't work. Also 6-ish may have been optimistic, perhaps 6:30-ish? I'll be in the stripey sweater and blue down vest with the orange scarf.

Ah, well, I wound up chauffeuring an injured friend about town. But perhaps I can make one of the aforementioned later meetups.

Here's some pictures from the event, courtesy of my toy camera. jonmc's business card in one of the images has his barber's name on it: MIGUEL. The wiped-out shoutouts were to amberglow, languagehat, naxosaxur, s@l, paris, papercake, bingo, and all the rest.
