sounds like a blast...

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 21:31 (twenty years ago) link

Anything a must see gallery/museum-wise while I'm there?

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 21:33 (twenty years ago) link

OK, who can make the 24th? I'm definitely open to pre-FAPing with those who can't.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 October 2003 02:45 (twenty years ago) link

I can make it but is this the same thing as the MatosFAP?

Mary (Mary), Friday, 3 October 2003 03:01 (twenty years ago) link

don't know... if so, then cool!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 October 2003 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

I can make the 24th and 25th.

Mary, apparently we have to coordinate both as one big mechaFAP? I have to think of what to wear.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 12:48 (twenty years ago) link

OK some breaking news to try to tie together the Matos and Spencer threads:

on the 24th, Joan Jett and Andrew WK are playing at the Warsaw! It's $22 a person and it starts at 8pm. Would anyone over here be interested in attending?

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

I noted this news on the Matos thread. I might go, but I don't really want to plan ahead since I have people to see who might not want to go. I will however be out and about on friday night and will be happy to meet people somewhere during or after the show. I'll have my cell on.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 October 2003 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

but you are still ok with a boozing on the 25th?

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 18:36 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not sure I'm feeling the Joan WK shindig, but thanks for the head-up!

Mary (Mary), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:05 (twenty years ago) link

Sat/25th, I am definitely down for mechaFAPitron

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:15 (twenty years ago) link

We need to pick somewhere chic and worthy of Spencer. Botanica?

Mary (Mary), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:20 (twenty years ago) link

The Cock?

phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:33 (twenty years ago) link

I'm down for either. Haha Mary, we should go back to Rise...

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:33 (twenty years ago) link

Mike Daddino gets to attend both this and the London Tom Wedding MegaFAP. I R JEALOUS.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:39 (twenty years ago) link

The Hole!

Mary (Mary), Friday, 3 October 2003 20:13 (twenty years ago) link

Ooh okay! The Hole and The Urge and The Slide. The Terrible Trio of 2nd Ave. Gay Sleaze Bars! though the hole is straight hipster night on saturday

phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 3 October 2003 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

Ooer I've been wanting to go to the Slide for soo long.

Mary (Mary), Friday, 3 October 2003 20:29 (twenty years ago) link

This is turning into an Electric Six song!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 October 2003 21:14 (twenty years ago) link

JJ and WK: I am getting tickets for this tomorrow as per Jeanne Fury's heads up.

Carey (Carey), Friday, 3 October 2003 21:19 (twenty years ago) link

oh, i meant to say via othermusic in case anyone needs me to pick them up some if they fear the ticketweb like i do.

Carey (Carey), Friday, 3 October 2003 21:54 (twenty years ago) link

Please tell me we can have the FAP at the Coral Room; there be mermaids there

http://www.coralroomnyc.com/

Or how about Princess on Bayard St? There is a cute purple neon sign that says "Princess" in cursive and karaoke inside I think.

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 06:38 (twenty years ago) link

When is Gareth in NYC?

All you muthafuckas should go out to the Luna Lounge this Saturday and see my sweethearts straight outta the EDT, SLICK 57. G-Unit saw these boys and loves them, but I don't think he'll be there.

Go see them and tell the bassist Susan/Sam sent you and he'll feel you up. ;)

A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 6 October 2003 07:03 (twenty years ago) link

I don't have the exact dates for the G-money traveling circus yet, but perhaps it will coincide with Halloween.

Should we go to Winnie's for karaoke? Or will it be too crowded there?

Spencer, I recommend the Isamu Noguchi and Modern Japanese Ceramics exhibit at the Japan Society.

http://www.japansociety.org/exhibit/upcoming.cfm

If you haven't been to the Noguchi museum in Queens you could do that to. They may even have a bus from the Japan Society.

http://www.noguchi.org/

Also: the Takashi Murakami public installation at Rock Center.

Other things that have been in the press: the Pulp Art exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum,

http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/visit/special_exhibitions/pulp_art/

and the America Effect at the Whitney (though I wouldn't personally recommend this last one), oh never mind, looks like it's closed anyway.

http://www.whitney.org/

If you were Gareth, I would recommend the Stephen Shore photography exhibit at the 303 Gallery.

http://www.303gallery.com/

If you have time, take a train out to Dia Beacon.

http://www.diabeacon.org/dia/visitor/index.html

Further afield, but I think it would be very Spencerlike to see the Diane Arbus exhibit at Mount Holyoke.

http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/artmuseum/calendar.html

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:22 (twenty years ago) link

Mary, thanks for the tips!!! I was actually thinking about that Diane Arbus thing and I will definitely check out the Noguchi museum. The others sound great too!

Most of these drinking establishments sound pretty great as well.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:26 (twenty years ago) link

You're welcome, Spencer. Let me know if you would like a companion for the Mass Arbus; sounds intriguing.

Let us know what kind of vibe you're feeling for the bar call.

Here's the skinny on the Slide

http://marions.citysearch.com/

and further down on the Bowery we could get a very cheesy groove on at the new Capitale

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:44 (twenty years ago) link

LUCKY CHANGS!!!

Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:48 (twenty years ago) link

Yanc3y speaks truth. Lucky Chang is worth checking out, if only for the bordello-red plush style of the place. Where better to begin debauchery?

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:54 (twenty years ago) link

Lucky Chang is ok for tourists, but maybe our Spence deserves something better? Anyway, I'm fine with it, for convenience sake.

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:57 (twenty years ago) link

Mary, I would agree---except I'd say it should be experienced (even once, on the way to somewhere else). Besides, Spence might get a tickle out of it.

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 6 October 2003 20:59 (twenty years ago) link

I've just realized my primary concern for the whole weekend is turning into the pacing of alcohol intake during any and all FAPs.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

also weren't we going to rename American FAPs into WTFs?

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

Sure we can go there, as long as we are doing it in an ironic-ironic way, one step above the tourists who go there in an ironic way and get so impressed by the drag queens.

Anyway, for cultural touristm how about a low-key s/m club? I think there's one on 2nd street, called, the Marquis de Sade? Or wait, that's not the place that's now a tiki bar/restaurant is it?

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:08 (twenty years ago) link

I'm really going to stop offering suggestions soon. Fez. Niagara. OK, Ally's the cruise director here.

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:10 (twenty years ago) link

Mary lecturing on cultural tourism, ha!

How is Lucky Chang's ironic? I used to go there every Friday night for about six months!

Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:16 (twenty years ago) link

the best place for FAPping as proven by science is Odessa, a diner that we found down near the Hi-Fi and that other joint where we moved the pool table across the room that I forgot the name of.

Anyway they had $3 Anchor Steam in bottles and it was quiet enough to have a conversation without screaming and the bathrooms were relatively clean and they had 'disco fries' on the menu along with a bunch of other good food. I say fuck the hipster bar atmosphere, just hang out at a diner that serves liquor! Plus you save on tips!

TOMBOT, Monday, 6 October 2003 21:23 (twenty years ago) link

My Romanian steak I ordered gave me nightmares later. Or maybe that was while I was skinning it.

Carey (Carey), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:26 (twenty years ago) link

The other bar = Manitoba's. I hope no one ate the disco fries.

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:28 (twenty years ago) link

Spencer is adorable and I cannot wait to meet him.

felicity (felicity), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:29 (twenty years ago) link

(Yancey, I wasn't lecturing, I really do want to go that s/m joint, which I really think is now a tiki bar, which I would be happy to go as well.)

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:32 (twenty years ago) link

This is all starting to sound like a Houellebecq novel!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

Ha ha :)

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:52 (twenty years ago) link

Starting?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:58 (twenty years ago) link

I ate like nearly all the disco fries. Those things were great! It's like cheese and gravy and fried potatoes, what more do you need?*


*red chile mayonnaise and lump crabmeat

TOMBOT, Monday, 6 October 2003 22:06 (twenty years ago) link

(We ordered those for delivery in a drunken stupor last New Year's.)

Mary (Mary), Monday, 6 October 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

It's like cheese and gravy and fried potatoes, what more do you need?

A doctor standing by would be handy.

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 6 October 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

Also, Felicity, I'm very much looking forward to mtng you in prsn too! I assume there's no Cubs' game Saturday night?

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

Also, that reminds me, I have to get to making CDs!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 October 2003 23:06 (twenty years ago) link

YEAH SPENCER WHERE ARE MY CDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!JEHNGBOI*T#_)(Y th

err sorry.

Anyway this FAP is too far away for me to think about just yet but I will be wearing red boots.

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 6 October 2003 23:20 (twenty years ago) link

What has Spencer done that he and Felicity have to meet in prison?

rsvp info at bottom

Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link

I think we're going on pretty early.

Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 00:32 (sixteen years ago) link

oh i know the dudes that do that gbh party, they're nice.

hstencil, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 01:22 (sixteen years ago) link

half of me wants to go to this and just stay out all night until my 6 am train to philly on friday. that will probably not happen, though.

tehresa, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 01:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Isn't Jordan supposed to be playing there that night as well, or is it the night after?

James Redd and the Blecchs, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:10 (sixteen years ago) link

that is probably not a good idea, tehresa.

i have to miss thursday, have other plans now, but i'm up for anything else.

hstencil, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:16 (sixteen years ago) link

since when has 'probably not a good idea' stopped me?!

tehresa, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:22 (sixteen years ago) link

On the other hand, staying up all night and then getting on a train & falling asleep is probably the best way to deal with amtrak (or NJ Transit, are you changing in Trenton?).

lyra, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 13:04 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't make the Thurs thing, Spencer, but what's happening over the weekend?

Laurel, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Unfortunately, because you know how I like a club with smoking.

Laurel, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Not sure, I'll post when I do. Might be going to some Nylon mag party thing Wednesday night.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 05:38 (sixteen years ago) link

did anyone go? I have to say, we enjoyed ourselves immensely at the party

Spencer Chow, Friday, 15 June 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link
