3:00 & 5:00 NEW YORK THEATRICAL PREMIERE RUN! Tim Irwin
WE JAM ECONO: THE STORY OF THE MINUTEMEN2005, 85 minutes, video
Like an angel from heaven D. Boon fell from a tree in San Pedro's Peck Park, landing squarely on Mike Watt. The two thirteen-year-olds lives would never be the same. The two friends grew up to form both a deep personal and musical bond, a bond which formed the foundation of one of the most revered, intriguing, and groundbreaking bands of the early 80s. Beginning in 1979, in a whirlwind of five years The Minutemen released eleven records, ranging from 7" singles to the epic double-album Double Nickels on the Dime, an output totaling over 150 songs! They crisscrossed the country, opening for bands ranging from Black Flag to REM, as well as on their own headlining tours. Tragically, at the very peak of their creative force, The Minutemen were brought to a halt when D. Boon was killed in a van accident just three days before Christmas 1985. This amazing documentary tells the story of The Minutemen primarily through their own music and a ton of rare and smokin' live footage. People interviewed to shed insight or give props include Watt, drummer George Hurley, Watt's mom, Henry Rollins, Greg Ginn, Ian MacKaye, Thurston Moore, J. Mascis, John Doe, Richard Hell, and many more. If you love The Minutemen, or if you love music, period, or if you ever had a best friend, this film is for you.

Not sure if you're willing to go the e-foodie route (as yes it is scary) but worth a peak at the very least. Vast amounts of information and the discussion stays current (chefs leaving, ownership/recipes changing), another advantage.

the resto is el tesoro ecuatoriano, 4015 5th ave (bet. 40th & 41st sts). i can't speak highly enough of it based on the meal that we had there, and it's great value for money, too!

Okay people -- I think Lauren & Shasta are making an effort to meet up but as for me, I think I might be doing a bar visit in Bushyick and a party that Jon knows about, because I really like the guy who's throwing it. However am open to suggestions, so txt away. I will also be biking unless it pours rain, so I can swing up to greenpoint or etc if called for.

A friend of mine who spent a lot of time in Europe recently chastised me for referring to anything that's not a large, open space as a "beer garden." I suppose she's right - it is sort of wanky, not to mention inaccurate to call bars "beer gardens" just because they are German or Belgian themed.

FIVE THINGS: That seem unnecessarily pretentious
PITCHFORK
In the mid-1990s, a group of music journalists, not content with the mildly pretentious music magazines already in print, created Pitchforkmedia.com.
The site is shamelessly riddled with pretense. For instance, reviewer Jess Harvell writes that the Field's new release is "functionally overwhelming" with "ecstatic peaks" and "ringtone-esque bursts"-- and that's just in one sentence.
Worse yet, Pitchforkmedia knows that it's supposed to hate the crunked-out trash on the radio. So it condescendingly adores rap and pop songs, dissecting every beat and lyric until any last glimmer of soul has been removed. . StoryChat

i have donna everywhere on cd somewhere but there are about 7 boxes containing around a thousand cds that i never unpacked when i moved into this apartment a year and a half ago. i'm almost certain it's in one of those. also in there is the dramarama disc with "haven't got a clue" on it (vinyl?).

PINCHBECK PREDICTS VOOOOOREDOMS DRUM LAYOUT -- EERIE
http://www.futurehi.net/archives/2012Pinchbeck.jpg
― dmr, Friday, 29 June 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
As far as I know, cd2 won't be available any other way. Its basically a 3 track EP ( If you can call 42 minutes an EP ) with the main feature being track 2's 35 minute live track recorded in 1998 at the Outdoor Free Concert in Osaka. Track 1 is a mad peice of music, it sounds like a broken ( sorry... remixed! ) version of track 2 of the album with the sound overlays in tact but the main track reduced from 5:22min to 1:28min. Online shop Forced Exposure records had this qoute from the Boredoms - "the first tune of the bonus tracks CD is what we gained from the second number in the original album which data inside the computer was accidently started running on the first day of a new year in Mayan callender (7th June '98)." Track 3 is more on the ambient side with birds tweeting and soft vocals and loose percussion, it sounds like a remix of track 3 of the album but without the drum pattern..

so yeah -- pre-Boredoms drinks on my roof, let's do it. bore-b-q.
the only hitch is I don't know how early we need to show up at the park ... gates open at 4 ... maybe come over at 12:30, 1 pm ... ? I might light the grill earlier. I'll get some burgers and beer, bring whatever else ... i.e. more beer ...
if you think you might come by, email me for details. I live in Brooklyn near Grand Army Plaza. you'll need my phone # so I can come down and let you in.
dmr3345 at gmail
― dmr, Monday, 2 July 2007 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
12:30 sounds waaaay too early, I just don't know if we have to be there right when the show starts at 4 (or earlier) or if we can roll up closer to when Boredoms go on ("just before sunset")
we can play it by ear until we find out more details about the show I guess
it'll probably take about a half hour to get to the park from my place

― strongohulkington, Monday, 2 July 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link
from my friend's email (he's one of the drummers):
There will be a bicycle valet parking. Also coming early is probably a good idea, there is only one entrance to the park that will be set up with police barricades and security. Cameras are not encouraged so hide them if you want to get flicks, no strobe photography during the performance please (requested by Boredoms).
― lauren, Monday, 2 July 2007 15:32 (sixteen years ago) link
cool
I think unless I hear otherwise I'm gonna interpret "early" as getting there at 4

HAI GUIS
I'm flying LA to NYC on the 27th, staying (probably) until the 30 or 31st. What's shaking? I gotta visit with an uncle or four, but other than that I'm looking for occupation & company. Plz to entertain: I'm thinking about moving back to the East Coast a year from now.

then why did we have a stopover in St. Louis on the way there and Denver on the way back?
And 8 dollars to watch a movie?!?!?
Actually it was free on the way out on American. Stewardess announced movie as Superman 3. I was really confused. The one with Richard Pryor? WTF? Then she said, "whoops, I meant Spiderman 3". They showed it on tape that kept getting fucked up tracking. Do the studios really still make tapes for these old planes? Get one DVD player, American Airlines.
Frontier on the way back had much newer Airbus planes with 26 channels but you have to swipe yr credit card.

They quote the rooms as $300-450!
An industrial neighborhood known as Gowanus, where new condos — with names like Novo and Argyle — are rising between auto repair shops and big box retailers. Le Bleu occupies a narrow lot with a Staples on one side, a taxi garage on the other.
The eighth-floor restaurant, Vue (named for its skyline vistas), is expected to open in the spring. For now, there’s a modest breakfast buffet of croissants and yogurt, which have to be carried to your room. The glass-walled lobby has precisely two chairs, and they aren’t comfortable.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 7 February 2008 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link
4th ave is pretty meh. not dangerous, but it's a really busy, pretty ugly huge road. seems like a couple of bars/restaurants have opened, but it's pretty sparse. also may be a bit of a schlep to public transport.

I think 4th will go the way of 5th.
That part of 4th can be dangerous, if it's late at night it's best not to be alone. But most of those parts of brooklyn, you always have the chance of a mugging. It's smart to know what blocks to walk on. Don't go exploring gowanus canal at 4 in the morning.

It's just drizzling and it's actually pretty warm. The unbearable arctic cold that was february is gone, spring is on it's way.
You can go on whenever you feel comfortable. We'll start playing records by around 9, but really nobody shows up till 10:30 or even 11. If you want to play a few early on to get a feel for things, cool, or if you want to wait untill it's most crowded, if it gets crowded, or your friends show up, that's cool as well. You can go on and off whenever you want, so like, if somebody you want to impress shows up during while I'm playing records, you can be like "dude, let me play some now".
It's VERY casual.

Other than in the most desirable areas, I've found that landlords aren't usually as strict about credit history as they claim to be. If you're renting somewhere that a person with your salary can afford, you're not competing with a lot of people with perfect credit scores.

not that you wouldn't be able to find much cheaper, but the average rent for 1-bd apts in manhattan is $2700/mo. is columbia gonna provide you with housing? i vaguely remember them not having too much to go around for grad students, tho i'm sure they've expanded at least a little.

If I get the job then I won't be a grad student, so I'd be pretty much on my own looking for accommodation. This is fine with me because, having lived in university accommodation for more years than not in the last decade, I am through with that. I am happy to commute (reading time) so I'm not too bothered about being in Manhattan. My supervisor lived in Harlem when he was a postdoc there and says that is the place to go, but this was six years ago and I'm not sure I entirely trust him (he is French Canadian, you see).

new york salaries are often higher than elsewhere because cost of living is higher. i'd view this as, on top of whatever academic/professional factors come into play, paying a premium (on top of cost of living) for the privilege of living in NYC. i'd say it's worth it, depending on where else you're considering. nyc v. bloomington, in - uhhh. nyc v. california - maybe a closer question, tho perhaps not for a londoner. one random factor to consider - our weather's marginally more extreme than yours, and exposed parts of columbia, like college walk, and housing west of broadway, get a lot of wind off the river.
I am happy to commute (reading time) so I'm not too bothered about being in Manhattan. My supervisor lived in Harlem when he was a postdoc there and says that is the place to go
probably right, at least as far as convenience to Columbia (if not necessarily elsewhere) is concerned. the charming-in-parts neighborhood around the school has some nice (old) housing and decent prices (tho a bit of a rodent problem). if you can get columbia housing - and making an effort is probably required given scarcity - that seems very likely your best bet. (you are talking about the main campus, right, not the medical school?)
you can read on a commute if you can get a seat, but our trains are less comfortable (and some of them more poorly-lit) than the tube. this is written in slightly over-dramatic undergrad style, but is worth considering. i'd estimate a commute from another borough would be about 0:45-1:15, depending on how far out you live (or what hour you go). if you live in close-in parts of queens, it could be less.

thanks gabbs, that is gold. Yes, this is at the University, not med school. I'm very keen on the idea of NYC, and presumably Columbia wouldn't set their salaries at levels which are impossible to live on. Other options [*] are around the $60k mark. Some are in cities (Pasadena, Chicago, Austin), but some are more remote (Spokane, Little Rock, Sioux Falls). The Columbia gig is probably top of my list for both professional and location reasons, but has the lowest salary. That's life. None of these salaries are enough for me to save a meaningful amount if I ever return to the UK, so being able to save an $5k per year by living in, e.g. Sioux Falls is not an issue. Climate is potentially a problem, but what are you going to do? I visited Columbia last January and it was cold, but I did OK. I'll be able to get in at 10am rather than 9 if that helps any. That certainly makes a difference for getting a seat on the Tube in London. But yeah, those plastic bucket seats on the subway are uncomfortable. The "close-in parts of Queens" is Astoria, right?
[*] note I do not have offers from any of these places and may not get them.
― caek, Monday, 29 September 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I imagine with $60,000 in Spokane you could live like one of the Lucky Ones. Salaries being lower and costs being higher in NYC is (obviously) both a function of demand, and the reality of a city that sometimes suspiciously resembles a meat-grinder. C'est la vie?
― Vampire romances depend on me (Laurel), Monday, 29 September 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link

it was a warm-ish winter btw, tho that may be the trend. Pasadena's beautiful, tho might be tough without a car (which 10k/cost of living could help with), but if NY is best professionally that seems an easy choice.
The "close-in parts of Queens" is Astoria, right?
i thot definitely LIC, maybe Astoria, tho it's still probably better than Brooklyn. not the best to ask in any event.

seriously tho, pasadena is pretty nice but new york beats it hands down even if ur more crunched for $$--if you were actually living in LA it might be a little difft but my experience was that it was far enough away from cool shit that it wasnt really worth it--nightlife sucks, too... you wouldnt necessarily need a car depending on how bike-y you are, plus the gold line goes right through old town. i think tremendoid lives in pas actually you might ask him.
but if it were me id go for nyc.
― Barack HUSSEIN Obama (max), Monday, 29 September 2008 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link

it is not worth investigating because you can get somewhere affordable and nice that is much closer and because it is fairly residential, or at least free of destination culture/nightlife. it's the latter reason, plus the historic legacy of poverty and crime (which have been reduced significantly) in some parts of the bronx that captured national attention 2-3 decades ago that have prompted few of the young white people from the hinterlands who have thronged nyc in the last 10-15 years to move there. there are some very nice parts of the bronx that are a reasonable commute, but they are devoid of youth culture.

yah, i have a lot of colleagues at caltech and have visited. pasadena itself seems fine, but I might live somewhere more "LA". but yes, nyc is the tops. i think the only place i'd take over it right now is sf (please don't kill me).
i cycle daily in oxford but it's many levels below cycling in london, which is probably a notch or two below LA or NYC in intensity. i should ask ed about this if/when i know where i'm going. it's far from a deal-breaker though.

Kubrick grew up in a very different era. it could be an hour from the more urban part of the bronx (which has some nice old apt bldgs) to the village. from leafier parts, it's probably more than that. in the abstract, i think more people should live in the bronx, but i wouldn't advise you to do so unless you'd really like to live in a quasi-garden suburb (and even then it might not be the best choice).

Thank god for the A, when it's running express. Unfort it runs local after 11pm and frequently on weekends for service.
I was at 190th yesterday. :/

― Barack HUSSEIN Obama (max), Monday, 29 September 2008 16:50 (fifteen years ago) link
but its a dope train nonetheless, gets me from bed-stuy to downtown in like 17 minutes
I have def seen the A be express after 11pm but I think it has to do with when the train departs from its station of origin (or some other important point along the way) rather than happening to all trains at the witching hour. Would like to know where the tipping point is for that, very much.
Yeah, thank gott for it yesterday, I was running late and the A took good care of me.
― Vampire romances depend on me (Laurel), Monday, 29 September 2008 16:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Washington Heights is a good place to look, but definitely a second choice after anywhere on the West Side between ~125th and 59th Streets (not that you'll find much that's cheap too far below 96th) and West of Central Park/Morningside Park (but consider ~Central Park North as far East as Lenox Ave?), with the possible exception of Amsterdam or further East between 100 and 104.
also, caek, ignore all this talk of the A train - you would take the 1/9 to Columbia

The important thing re neighborhoods is to make a list of places people rec and then GO THERE. Because I would pay more and endure a commute on the 4/5 to live in Prospect Heights if I found an apt I loved there. But that won't wash for everyone, esp if you have already sold your soul to Morningside Heights or whatev.

i say this every time, but jersey city is affordable and about the same in commute time as Queens. $1250 to $1300 gets you a decent, roomy one bedroom by yerself; 1100 to 1000 would be a reasonable share and you could probably go lower and rough it.

$1300 to live alone is beyond unreasonable to me, if my rent went above $1000 it would be like 50% of my take-home. But on $47,000 you could probably do it. Also fuck you to whomever thinks anything below $1000 for a share is "roughing it". What??
― Vampire romances depend on me (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 October 2008 13:30 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah seriously. my rent just went up another $50 and i'm still WELL below $1000 for a share with awesome roommates and a backyard.

i would just be sad because maybe in other states i would have that much money left AFTER paying rent because the pay would be higher and the rent would be far lower but, again, this could all be purely hypothetical. i'm also allergic to roommates! also xpost i think it's more like $48,500 or something but whatever

I've seen seven hundred dollar a month apartments in Jersey City that involve sharing one bathroom with four people along with a bedroom that's twelve by twelve with a window facing a wall. And much worse in New York. I'm not saying that's the only option, but it takes work to find something comfortable for under a grand a month in the outlying NY area and A LOT of work or luck to find something liveable, comfortable and solo for under a grand a month. You've got to sacrifice something: privacy, light, six floor walk up, location...
47K is like 14 euros now, right?

It's not that much work, forks. I'm in my weirdest situation ever right now with the loft thing, but the whole time I lived in Crown Heights my rent was $600-650 with one roommate and so much space we had OUR OWN living rooms. A judicious exploration of craigslist shares will reward you.
And 12 x 12' is a large bedroom for most parts of the metro area, not just apartments you have to "sacrifice" for.

I'm hardly captain moneybags here, Laurel; I'm paying under a grand myself, but my girl owns the apartment we live in. I'm saying that if 1) you're unwilling to pay more than a grand for your rent and 2)if you want to live by yourself in New York or outlying areas it requires much patience and work and luck. Would you argue that?

earlier you said "1100 to 1000 would be a reasonable share and you could probably go lower and rough it." what laurel and others are saying is that you can go well below 1000 and not be roughing it, as i am now, and i found my apartment in about a week.

hay guyz, free 24 hour long "marathon" thing
24-Hour Program on the Concept of TimeTuesday, January 6, 6 p.m. through Wednesday, January 7, 6 p.m.Download a PDF of the 24-Hour schedule.
On the occasion of the exhibition theanyspacewhatever, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will present a 24-hour event concentrating on the concept of time in its myriad philosophical, psychological, biological, sociological, poetic, aesthetic, and economic manifestations. Constituting a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject, the program will bring together artists, architects, scientists, philosophers, historians, engineers, filmmakers, musicians, and other cultural producers.
Time is a pervasive concern in the work of the ten artists featured in theanyspacewhatever exhibition—Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno, Rirkrit Tiravanija—who all emerged during the early 1990s when technological advances and the ever-evolving development of new media created new temporalities. Often turning to the exhibition itself as a creative medium, these artists explore the notion of time as a malleable material and experiment with the temporal dimension of the presentation.
Comprising interviews, lectures, discussions, and performances, the 24-hour event will function as a platform for the presentation and exchange of ideas, research, and projects across a wide spectrum of fields, engaging diverse participants in vibrant, mutually illuminating dialogue. Modeled on the renowned thematic "marathons" conceived by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery in London, this New York-based program organized by Guggenheim Chief Curator Nancy Spector will be conducted as a strenuous, experimental exercise geared toward both the academic and the general, art-going public.
Select New York participants include: Vito Acconci, David Albert, Julieta Aranda, Kevin Birth, Katherine Brinson, Angela Bulloch, Simon Critchley, Drew Daniel, Verne Dawson, Lisa Dennison, Luke DuBois, Li Edelkoort, Eiko and Koma, Makram El-Kadi, Michael Evans, Douglas Futuyma, Liam Gillick, Andrew Ginzel and Kristin Jones, David Grubb, Amy Herzog, Paul Horwich, Tehching Hsieh, Helen Hsu, Florian Idenburg, Chrissie Iles, Marc Kushner with Matthias Hollwich, Sanford Kwinter, Thomas Leeser, Joseph LeSauter, Nate Lowman, Ronald Mallet, Patrick McCarthy, Richard McGuire, Don Melnick, Shamim Momin, Alexandra Munroe, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Philippe Parreno, Nicholas Rennie, Matthew Ritchie, Danny Rubin, Saskia Sassen, Ted Sider, Slowfood USA, Agathe Snow, Nancy Spector, David van der Leer, Marianne Weems, Lawrence Weiner, Robert Weston (with Paul Stephens), Lebbeus Woods, Nate Wooley, and Joan Young.
Video documentation of the Serpentine Gallery Marathons will be presented during the event in an adjacent theatre including the Interview Marathon: London (2006) moderated by Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist; the Experiment Marathon (2007), conceived by Olafur Eliasson and Hans Ulrich Obrist; and the Manifesto Marathon (2008) conceived by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Refreshments generously provided by illycaffè.

as if you're not on this, but key quote from Warburton's article on Eliane
“What I always loved in classical music were those moments when a modulation takes place, when the ear is no longer in the preceding tonality but hasn’t yet arrived in the new one. That moment of in between-ness.” Radigue’s music is about extending and superimposing such moments to create a constantly evolving sound mass that plays with our perception of both musical and clock time.

what you do at a ball game where you don't have a dog in the fight: gamble. if yr sitting w/bros, have someone get a hat and pass it around. everyone puts in $1, and you each take turns holding the hat (per at bat). if yr holding the hat and yr batter hits a single, you get a dollar. double, triple, etc. HR gets the whole pot!

I'm told there may be northern and/or soul, but I suspect actually a more contemporary line-up, tho I only know one of the DJs. Basically just an excuse to get people together for a Friday happy hour.

There are plenty of other all-soul nights, T! Do you want to go to more? I can advise.
Will be at Otto's on 14th St tonight starting around 11, going til close. I have tomorrow off, so I can do some damage. Line-up will be rocksteady/reggae per the usual.

This weekend on Saturday Night there's an event called Dig Deeper, in which old singers from the 60s are invited back to perform their songs live, with a backing band. This month the featured artist is Lee Fields, the door cost is $15. I'm not sure I'm going, though, so feel free to venture out on your own! Performances usually start around 11.30 or 12, and the dancing goes til close.

Future shows:
Saturday, May 23 with RENALDO DOMINO - his first live performance EVER in NYC. Getting to hear some of his classic Twinight material like "Not too cool to cry" and "Let me come within", as well as some of his earlier Mercury records like "Don't go away" is going to be nothing short of astounding. As you can tell from this footage shot at the fabulous Twinight Revue in Chicago recently put on by the Numero Group, Renaldo's voice remains astounding:
Incidentally, if you have not picked up the Numero Group Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation compilation - you should, as it is truly excellent.
Saturday, June 27 with LENIS GUESS - his first live performance in NYC in over 20 years. We cannot wait to hear "For all you've been", "Why, why, why'd she leave me", and "Just ask me", among others blasting out live on stage.

I don't really know how to go about organizing FAP things esp in a city I haven't lived in in ages but it would be cool to meet some NYC ILX.

I don't know for sure what I'm doing tomorrow because I will be wiped out from being Scottish, but I can recommend a bar in Brooklyn right near Atlantic Center that is also walkable from the G and that has a big and nice backyard iirc? It's the Brooklyn Tavern, on 3rd Ave and Atlantic. Took mookie there once, been there one other time, have never seen it even remotely crowded.

There's a Grand Central / Times Square Shuttle train though iirc so that would probably be easy for you to get to DMR, right? We'll definitely be there by 7 so the timing would work.

i understand taxis
theyre like taxis w/o meters and its illegal to hail them u call them instead
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 April 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
that info will soon be out of date via new laws fyi
so you negotiate price when you get in them? and they're only in brooklyn/queens/not-manhattan? but sometimes there are car stands, like taxi stands, aren't there? i feel like i've taken a regular taxi from brooklyn to manhattan and i definitely have from manhattan to brooklyn.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 27 April 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
regular taxis can go in the boroughs atm and can be found sometimes but it's generally more profitable for them to stay in manhattan
― iatee, Friday, 27 April 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
but because there is a limit to the number of medallions, the boroughs are underserved, so you have a huge mostly-gonna-look-the-other-way black market, but as jh0 said they are fixing this problem by creating borough-specific taxis

they have them in all the boroughs tho obvs theyre more key in places where no yellow cabs dare tread, the price is somewhat negotiable, and yeah there are car stands some places like outside of the supermarket or w/e you can go to the storefront dispatch place to get one too also people just hail them all the time even tho its against the rules
there are often taxis around caeks departure point but prob not so much at 5am

Uh I don't know because a) I have an android, and b) I don't use a route planner, I just look at a map.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Friday, 1 June 2012 13:35 (eleven years ago) link
you sort of dont need one, theres maps all over. if you are going to get one id recommend something that shows you an actual map of the city with subways laid over it, since the official MTA map isnt really accurate aboveground
― max, Friday, 1 June 2012 13:39 (eleven years ago) link
hmm yeah i guess. i just don't have brooklyn very clear in my head, so something offline would be good. and the subway is a struggle for the first few days every time.
all set with fancy new digs via airbnb crediting me with $$$ for screwing me around : )
― caek, Friday, 1 June 2012 13:49 (eleven years ago) link
Hopstop is probably the best route planner. You would need to be online but if you're doing the subway on the weekends an offline map isn't going to help much, you'd be screwed without knowing the weekend service changes.http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hopstop/id303217144?mt=8
For aboveground I just use google maps.
― dmr, Friday, 1 June 2012 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
Hopstop is a little bit crazy, though. One of the main roads near my place has a bend in it, and Hopstop directions treat it like a turn. "Turn right onto Xxxx" is very confusing when you are already ON Xxxx.

I used to go out with these people who had made themselves an informal Burger Club, who would go on dinner outings around the city for burgers. We went to Dumont once and I don't remember them being anything special at all. Whereas I'm STILL convinced that Molly's has the best burger in the city but no one except Ian believes me (and he's the one who took me to eat there).

congrats caek!
I've been at Columbia since last summer. The Columbia-owned housing is a VERY good deal for the area and worth thinking about if you don't mind a potluck roommate and living in a kind of boring part of town (convenient for being on campus, inconvenient for social life etc.). The NY housing market is bizarre and possibly unique, not only in terms of the kinds of rents you have to get used to paying, but the rigmarole/fees/elaborate credit checks that landlords can put you through, particularly if you are looking to take out a lease rather than move into some already-established place. But if proximity to Brooklyn or downtown night-life isn't a priority you might also look at places further uptown from Columbia - Washington Heights, Inwood...
I've subscribed to the Listings Project (http://www.stephaniediamond.com/listings.html), a weekly email of hand-curated boho/artsy-people apartments. Anyone had any luck with that?

you're up near columbia? and we don't know where sic is staying, but probably somewhere in lower manhattan for easy access from brooklyn? i'm not an authority on east village/lower east side drinking, especially for a group.

winnies has karaoke but theres no reason that anyone has to karaoke its not like you have to get a room or anything. otoh iirc winnies is kinda pricey

winnies is fine for the area... $6 beers i think. problem is all the fidi bros who go there to do karaoke

theres a bar down the street that has private karaoke rooms. but i guess that's the opposite of what is being asked for
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 19 June 2013 18:17 (ten years ago) link
xp It's pricey, there's a drink minimum, which they were not that nice about the one time I went there. Aaaanyway, anywhere else will be fine.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 18:18 (ten years ago) link
lol what? that's never happened to me...i've never been on a weekend though.
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 19 June 2013 18:21 (ten years ago) link
It was a 2-drink minimum and there is probably no time in my life I have not had more than two drinks if I went to a bar so it wouldn't have been a problem, it was just a hot day and several people asked to start with water and the hostess was insistent.

Yeah, immediate Columbia area is not great for coffee spots. People rave about Hungarian Pastry Shop (Amsterdam and 111th? 112th?) but I think the service is lousy, also the lighting is deliberately bad and there is no wi-fi which is probably smart business. Amirita (110th just west of Frederick Douglass) is okayyy, not great. I used to hit up Zanny's (108th and Columbus) a lot just because I lived upstairs, it has really limited seating but a decent vibe and the staff are super friendly. Also over there, at 108th and the park, is a great basement Turkish diner, it's paper plate style but cheap and easy. My favorite diner diner up there is the Broadway Restaurant (Broadway & 102nd), solid prices and portions of your classic greasy spoon fare. Tom's is overpriced and coasting hard on the Seinfeld angle. I don't know Harlem as well but I think the part near Columbia, along Frederick Douglass between 110th and 125th, is increasingly riddled with coffee shops, upscale bars, etc.

On more than one occasion I've sat down an hour before closing time, paid for my drink and a snack and opened up a book to nestle in for a while, and then had staff come around to tell me they're closing in fifteen minutes. Well, if I'd known that I would have stayed home instead of going for a change of scenery to freshen up my reading!
I also think certain things are wayyyy overpriced. Don't get me wrong, place is fine and I love me some pastry but I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.

i mean i have what seem like some reasonable options for the insurance via columbia. and i figure if i'm getting the more expensive ones then i may as well get lots of fun tests done, since i haven't been to the doctor much ever in my life. but it seems like different plans give me access to different lists of gps, so choosing the plan involves choosing the gp too.
dr casino, which plan did you pick? i can't find anyone round here who didn't pick one of the two 100% options. the $11/month high deductible option is not available to me because of my visa : (

Uuuuugh re: bug story. We get the comprehensive plan as part of our program deal, I've just gone to Columbia health on campus for checkup type stuff. The way US insurance works is you have to go to an in-network doctor, and if you need to see a specialist, you have to get a referral to them from the in-network primary care provider. So that can be annoying but it's good insurance IMO - I had hernia surgery earlier this year and I think it ended up costing me... $32? I might be forgetting some other related bill in the $40 range or something but it's pretty good. Wish it had more in the way of vision/dental though.

Afaict air conditions when they are on "fan" don't bring in any outside air, they just recirculate what's already inside. I've always wanted the outside air option, because then I could also use my a/c as a $200 WINDOW FAN, instead of having to go buy another fan-type machine.

Megabus is great, although the Hell's Kitchen pickup location really is the pits. I've ridden a lot of Greyhounds and only two or three Megabuses but I would pick the latter easy for comfort, reliability, a/c adapters (plus spotty intermittent wifi), etc. Some people also swear by the harrowing and ultra-cheap Chinatown buses but those are currently out of commission I believe, due to some kind of permit inspection/police business.

For the record, caek, in the orbit of NYC you have other options for trains besides Amtrak, although not to Boston. The Metro North plugs you into all kinds of pleasant places in Jersey, the Hudson River Valley and Connecticut, and for most of those you can get on at Harlem-125th Street which is a short bus ride from you. These can be very cheap, especially at off-peak times. The Long Island Railroad, naturally, goes all over Long Island. Haven't fooled around with that at all.
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 00:31 (ten years ago) link
metro north is great if you want to go to new haven for anything, or stamford or wherever.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 01:22 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I keep postponing New Haven architecture tourism but it's only a matter of time. I took the metro north up to New Canaan (not an un-cute town if you want a dose of Rich White Main Street, like in the movies) to see the Glass House a couple weeks ago and it was a very pleasant experience all round. Just keep an eye on the timetables, the trains seem to be organized around people commuting to NYC for work, so trips to the city later in the evening are pretty infrequent.
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 01:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah metro north from 125th is what i have to take to get to my CT cricket games apparently.

i book lots of bos-nyc travel. the cheapest roundtrip on amtrak is about 100. you can get a return on united out of newark for the same price, but you have to get to newark. flights out of laguardia are a ton more expensive.
my personal experience with the various buses has been generally positive, even fung wah, rip. to be clear, i totally have a hundred dollars, i could take it out of the atm right now, $3 fee, but i would still probably take a bus as first option.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 15:09 (ten years ago) link
can i have a hundred dollars if i cover the atm fee?

Flights out of Newark are cheaper because if you don't drive, it'll take you 3 hours to get there and if you have delays/cancellations at that point you're screwed. I once tried to get like a 7am flight out of there, arriving by the airport's OWN MONRAIL just as it started up in the morning, and you literally CANNOT ARRIVE ON PUBLIC TRANSIT in time to make your plane.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 15:25 (ten years ago) link
I guess if the monorail wasn't 15 mins delayed and there were no lines for check-in or security and your flight was a little bit late and Mercury was in retrograde and there was a stiff breeze out of the northwest on a Tuesday you might make it, but otherwise RIP.

i've never had trouble with newark before, but i've never flown domestic from there, so i'm always 2-3 hrs early, and it's always for an evening take-off.
it doesn't seem much that harder to get to for me than the megabus pickup point tbh (34th at 11th and 12th). train plus monoral is what, 40 minutes?
― caek, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link
thanks for the autograph btw
off the money, I use Bolt / Mega / Vamoose to Baltimore all the time and it's fine. 30 bucks versus what, 98 bucks for Amtrak?
a friend of mine got one of the $1 tickets once. I wouldn't call it a scam but I think you have to be the first person to buy a ticket for that bus.
― dmr, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:31 (ten years ago) link
i have never flown out of newark.i have taken many many buses from ny to providence and my general thoughts are these --
1. while you may be tempted to drink some beer before getting on the bus or on the bus, then you'll have to pee. and the bathroom on the bus is truly a game of chance. drink whiskey instead. 2. bring at least two books, in case you want a break from your primary book.3. i like to sit in the front of the bus cuz then it's faster getting off, and if the bus isn't totally full it's less likely you'll have to sit next to someone. it seems that people keep walking back in pursuit of a vacant pair, even as the bus fills up.4. some buses have emergency exit rows with more leg room
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:35 (ten years ago) link
traveling is the most stressful thing for me, just makes me incredibly anxious. if i take a train instead of a bus, it becomes like 1/3 as anxiety inducing. don't know why, but the cost is always worth it to me.
― stefon taylor swiftboat (s.clover), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:39 (ten years ago) link
Front of the bus also better if you get motion sickness, as you're closer to the point about which the bus turns, and therefore don't feel yourself "swinging" as far. #3 is a very astute point. Seasoned Greyhound riders have all kinds of elaborate ways of hanging on to the spare seat next to them, such as pretending to have a contagious disease, or stuffing up a coat and hat to look like a slumped-over companion.

this discussion reminds me of calvino's "The adventure of a traveler" which you can read in some crummy web version buried on this page: http://web.mit.edu/jot/Public/Calvino,%20Italo/Difficult%20Loves/DifficultLoves.htm
Federico V. chose an empty compartment, not over the wheels but not too far into the coach, either, because he knew that as a rule people who board a train in haste tend to reject the first few compartments. The defense of the space necessary to stretch out and travel lying down is made up of tiny psychological devices; Federico knew them and employed them all. For example, he drew the curtains over the door, an act that, performed at this point, might even seem excessive; but it aimed, in fact, at a psychological effect. Seeing those drawn curtains, the traveler who arrives later is almost always overcome by an instinctive scruple and prefers, if he can find it, a compartment with perhaps two or three people in it already but with the curtains open. Federico strewed his bag, overcoat, newspapers on the seats opposite and beside him. Another elementary move, abused and apparently futile but actually of use. Not that he wanted to make people believe those places were occupied: such a subterfuge would have been contrary to his civic conscience and to his sincere nature. He wanted only to create a rapid impression of a cluttered, not very inviting compartment, a simple, rapid impression.He sat down and heaved a sigh of relief. He had learned that being in a setting where everything can only be in its place, the same as always, anonymous, without possible surprises, filled him with calm, with self-awareness, freedom of thought. His whole life rushed along in disorder, but now he found the perfect balance between interior stimulus and the impassive neutrality of material things.

from the NYFF thread but bears repeating:
OK I'm trying to book for Views weekend and maybe I will try to see some other stuff then too. Anybody know of a reasonable hotel within easyish distance of your Lincoln Center? Is there a particular part of Brookyln that I could look at for getting in to festival stuff easier? (I've never been to Brooklyn and it's been 14 years since I was in New York)

and yeah, what ian and max said. you can't really stay in Brooklyn but drive into Manhattan and park around Lincoln Center. or at least I wouldn't recommend it. if you want to avoid the subway the best bet would be to find some Manhattan hotel in walking distance of Lincoln Center I think.

what do you all think about where to stay for a 10-day holiday? i'm thinking like brooklyn or whatever and will prob stay with a friend there for some days and then airbnb it, so i could see some diff parts of the city. i don't want to just go to hipsterville for the sake of it but i suppose i'm likely to want to spend time in that sort of place, for good beer/restaurants/clubs/record stores, so maybe brooklyn is best.
beyond those limited interests i am sure there is tons of shit i want to see but don't really know where to start, last time i came was 2006 and i didn't really have a sense of my interests besides techno...

i had a look at airbnb, there were some entire places for about £100 a night, i think, and a friend is coming with me. we just don't want to crash with my friend who lives there for the entire ten days, bit much.
there are loads of places in the east village, which seems like it'd be a decent base. bit more expensive but not massively so. there aren't loads of airbnb options in williamsburg from what i could see.
xpost there are more places peripheral to wburg alright, quite a few.
xxposts i live pretty near london's disgusting avatar for global youth culture, this is what attracts/repels me from wburg.
it's pricey for airbnb but i'm guessing still way cheaper than any other option.

as a recent tourist, if east village places are affordable then i would go there. i airbnbed in clinton hill last year and it was great, and i would love to live there, but i'd been to new york several times and had a hunch i would be moving here soon, so i wasn't necessarily looking for The City. if you wantnew york 101 and you like food, bars, etc. then the e village is a good bet.

yeah that's what I thought. As I said, I haven't been to the city since 2000, and I've never been to Brooklyn + have people to visit there, but I also pretty much intend on rinsing my access to the festival so won't have much time to walk around and look at stuff. I hope to back soon though. All the people I know seem to live in Fort Greene, I don't know, these places are pretty much abstract to me. But it might be nice to be in a good neighborhood for morning walk around and look at stuff.
― Chantal Anchorman (admrl), Friday, 13 September 2013 16:10 (ten years ago) link
What kind of clothes shopping do you want to do? All the brand name and luxury stuff you could want is in midtown (5th, madison, lex, etc.). Soho, the LES, Williamsburg and Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill all have a lot of hipper, boutiquey stuff (still largely expensive). BTW if you're looking to buy shoes, Soula is amazing imo (one I think in Park Slope and one in Carroll Gardens). Century 21 downtown is pretty interesting for an outlet shop and a big tourist destination, although it seems like women have better luck there than men. There are still lots of good thrift and vintage shops dotted around Brooklyn. I don't really buy clothes anymore except an occasional new work shirt in a BR or BB sale, so I'm probably not the best guide.
I would really recommend staying in Fort Greene, it's great, and I think the slightly longer ride to Lincoln Center would be worth it. Staying in a nice neighborhood makes a travel experience like 10x better imo.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Friday, 13 September 2013 16:12 (ten years ago) link

― max, Friday, 13 September 2013 16:14 (ten years ago) link
Thanks! I probably can't afford "luxury" but you know, I need to dress like an adult a little more than I used to and probably have to spend a little more accordingly. Shoes are particularly important so I'll look at those places.
And yes, I might just deal with the longer ride and look in Fort Greene. I'm actually okay with long transit rides now that I live in a small town - they're exotic! And temporary

you may want to try Century 21 in lower manhattan, good place for discounted luxury stuff. some of it is STILL expensive but you can get, like, $200 shirts for $75. I usually only come out of there with one or two things and you need to leave yourself a lotta time to browse but the stuff I get there I'd never be able to afford if I just went to that brand's store in soho or whatever.

i was gonna ask as well, and it's way in advance of me getting there in 5/6 weeks, but for finding bars and restaurants, besides asking you all, what website is good or is it just twitter?
i know all the sort of hipstery names that people mention in london (or rip off for london restaurants) eg pok pok, a few of the bbq places, mission, and some other like spotted pig in the slightly higher end. some of these look interesting, others less so.
i know it's a gargantuan world of stuff but pretty interested in going to some new cool places but also more eternal institution places, again some of which i've read about, eg katz's deli. i like the vibe of modern restaurants that have been good for a long time, like st john in london.
i just know in london if you arrived and went off buzz you'd only be at good places about half the time.
i read a few sites like serious eats and stuff anyway but i need a lot of info before i trust a place!
also the same with bars, if there are places that are really brilliant favourites or whatever.
xpost caek if you could write these up and put them in your kitchen for when i arrive that'd be ideal.

i need a new prescription i think
afaict these old school places don't give you the full prescription including PD here even if you buy their specs
warby parker glasses are all too small for my colossal cranium (really, i feel like they would shatter if i clenched my jaw), but i figure they will give me the Rx to take to fabulous fanny's or whatever.

fab fannys just sells frames, you then take them to some shops in Chinatown they recommend, the Chinatown shops will then ship your stuff to china and you'll get it back in like 2 weeks

that's a good spot. grand st is my favorite part of williamsburg, it has kept some of the old puerto rican flavor mixed with newer stuff. kinda feels like the mission in SF a little bit. Grand Morelos has good Mexican food in a open all nite diner setting, you got Huckleberry for fancy cocktails and snacks, Carmine's on graham has good pizza, Daddy's and Harefield Road are nice bars.

Fette Sau was okay, food was a bit cold, room was a bit cold too, I figure it's more a summer place? I had seen kinda mixed reviews.
Might go to some museums today, and attempt to stay out later tonight. And also buy a wooly hat.

So one thing I notice so far is that bars are kind of quiet? Do people tend not to go out midweek? Maybe London is just more over-crowded without as many good bars...

Apparently Harvey got shut down about 20 mins after I left.
In Lower East Side this eve, some good places. Was in Briskettown on Bedford, beforehand, prob enjoyed it more than Fette Sau.
I'm finding Brooklyn feels a bit more suburban even tho I love the amount of good places there are, so much higher general standard compared to London.
Manhattan gets a good buzz going for the tourist tho, I don't really get the New York feeling which I remember from visiting before, in Williamsburg, even tho I really like it and it is more diff to east London than I imagined.

There's another borough called Queens, that's close to midtown but cheaper. But a lot of the locations are really shitty. If you like ethnic foods it's good. If it's cheaper than Brooklyn it's good. It's easy to get to brooklyn. Unless the G train isn't running. Which is often.

Washington Heights is lovely IMO but yeah, depending what you're trying to do you'll spend a LOT of your visit commuting. Like if you go out for an evening in Williamsburg or something hep and fresh like that, it'll be an hour to get down there - - - and then possibly 90-120 minutes to get back as the good trains don't run frequently late at night. Worth thinking about. It's not so bad for Manhattan sight-seeing, and you're well-placed for some more forgotten/out of the way destinations like the Cloisters/Fort Tryon Park which is totally lovely, but not a "must do" if you only have a couple days in New York! I think you're better off looking for Airbnb places in, like, Fort Greene - sleep in a cute brownstone on a pretty street, paying Holiday Inn prices, and a short jaunt to nightlife and tourist activities in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

There is cool stuff in Queens though! As an archi-tourist I maybe favor weird buildings and things that nobody else would care about. But for example I had a great afternoon a couple months ago, traipsing around Forest Hills Gardens (early 20th century garden suburb, nice planning, lovely "town square" moment, and just one super-cute super-expensive house after another - improbably not gated), and then on to Forest Park, which is exactly what it says in the name: trees, lots of 'em. Plus hills. One of the more "out of the city" moments I've had here. With the autumn colors going, it really felt like growing up in Georgia and going on a nature hike at the state park or something. I still need to hit up Flushing Meadows.
And of course LIC has PS1, Museum of the Moving Image, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Noguchi Museum... and on the way, check out Roosevelt Island, both for the aerial tram ride over the river, and for the (sadly incomplete) late 1960s idea of a new Brutalist "main street." Love that place. Here's to Queens!

FoHi Gardens really is worth seeing if you're already in the area. I don't know if I'd make a trip to Queens just for that on a trans-atlantic visit to NYC, but if you're looking for interesting out-of-the way stuff you could always do that and combine it with a meal at the Michelin-rated Danny Brown, or the more casual but very good Nick's Pizza.
Forest Park is also neat because at first it seems like a more badly maintained Prospect Park, but then it has actual nature/light hiking trails that really make you feel outside the city.
And I do think a trip to Flushing is worthwhile for the food and atmosphere.

LIC makes some sense to me - pretty unexciting and blah in itself, but well-connected by transit, and just enough "there" that you can sort of survive, find breakfast, etc. (Though the more pleasant spots in LIC for this are further south, where you can see trees in Google satellite view. You also get a kind of weird 'ta-da, New York!' experience through a walk along Queensboro Plaza, with the elevated train piling up overhead, the cheap-as-dirt shops lining up to the sides - and then shiny towers in the mid-ground and the contemporary landscape project at 41st Ave. Again, not going to be a #1 sight in New York for most people. The closest area of contiguous "neighborhood cuteness" would be Greenpoint - good Polish food, and looooots of yuppie/hipster establishments, some of which will be quite delicious and satisfying.)
The G for Greenpoint and Williamsburg, and the E, 7, N and Q for everything in Manhattan.
My first trip to NYC I stayed in a hostel on the UWS, which was similarly not so "happening" (though maybe prettier, I guess) but a much longer trek from doing fun things.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 January 2014 14:56 (ten years ago) link
Midtown also good for various things tourists want to do, not knowing enough about darraghmac - MOMA, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and all them tall buildings! Two stops from LIC with the M or the E, very little fuss.

Above 14th st. is not all that much fun to wander around imo unless you just like tall buildings. Of course there are many institutions and museums and parks worth visiting. But areas like LES, West Village, East Village, Chinatown are more fun to roam.

Guggenheim has a few free hours on Saturdays - I found lines down and around the block last time I did this, might have just been people into the dumb James Turrell thing, or it might always be like that. Guggenheim is really expensive though so that can almost be worth it.

― signed, J.P. Morgan CEO (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 16:30 (ten years ago) link
and the images look pretty nice. Plus PS1 is always worth the trip just to enjoy the space and to eat at M Wells Dinette.
― signed, J.P. Morgan CEO (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 16:31 (ten years ago) link
I didn't have strong feelings about Kelley, but the show was impressive. Didn't realize the breadth of his work. Almost the entire first floor is devoted to his recreations of the city of Kandor from Superman. There are other pieces, like this one huge sculpture upstairs, that are amazing.
M Wells Dinette is great but be careful if you're not too adventurous an eater. Last time we went the options were pretty limited and I decided to roll the dice on a Goat Tagine Terrine. Despite HATING gelatinous foods, I thought I'd man up and give it a shot since nothing else seemed up my alley and I figured I could handle it. I was wrong. It was like 10% goat meat and 90% terrine, solidified goat fat. I thought the ratio would be different. Sure, it tasted great once I stopped gagging.
The time I went before that I had one of the best meals I've had in years, so who knows.
While it may not be the first choice of things to do, you can take the 7 train in the direction opposite of Manhattan and go to the Queens Museum and see the panaroma of New York. Then you can say you saw the WHOLE city. They also have good permanent exhibits on the World's Fair and Tiffany glass, in addition to the contemporary international stuff. And outside is the actual worlds fair stuff which is pretty cool to see. The unisphere etc. Then go to Flushing for food. Or stop in Jackson Heights on the way back.

I'm staying in Chelsea Tuesday-Thursday and I literally have not been to that neighborhood in close to 15 years. But I chose it as it's close to Penn Station and I found a cheap airbnb. Is there anywhere that isn't exorbitantly expensive to eat around there? I wanna eat some interesting food when I get in, probably on the late side, and nowhere where I will feel weird eating alone.
Also looking for recommendations for art spaces to check out, not museums or commercial galleries, I know about those.
Oh and I suppose somewhere to watch the fucking world cup

I guess another transcendent food experience would be sushi - Sushi Yasuda, for example, and obviously very conducive to dining alone
There's one in the UES that I haven't been to but my friend says is good, catch is you have to travel there and write your name down for the res, they don't take phone ones
Expensive though, probably minimum of $50

Not remotely transcendent, but if you're getting in really late, and depending where exactly near Penn Station you are, Skylight Diner on 34th @ 9th is a totally passable all-night place. Nothing special but it's not gross and it's not exorbitant. French onion soup's aight.

you know whats good paying exorbitant fees to have a server interrupt your meal to explain what each little piece of food is, then u take a picture of the dish then u talk about how it tasted, this place is the pinnacle of the form tho where u even sit at a counter like in a diner and watch the chef perform his... cooking

NYT:
According to New York City’s shoveling rules, if it stops snowing between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., you have until 11 a.m. to clear your sidewalk.
In this case, the snow stopped falling around 2 a.m., the National Weather Service said.
All you need to do is clear a path four feet wide — enough to accommodate a wheelchair or double stroller. If you are a tenant, it is the landlord’s responsibility to clear the snow.
Of course, you could let nature and SnoMelt do the job for you. It is supposed to be sunny today, with a high of 33. (Interestingly, even when it’s below freezing, snow evaporates, going directly from a solid to a gas! The process is called sublimation.)
But that would be wrong. And you could be fined up to $150 and go to jail for up to 10 days, even for a first offense. And the city could shovel your walk and bill you for it.

It isn't a certainty yet I don't think - basically it was one of those things where a ticketing error led to a bunch of Air Canada flights being sold stupid cheap, so I got a return ticket to NYC for 130 quid. The airline has no obligation to honour the tickets once they've been made aware of the error apparently, but from what I can gather it looks like they've agreed to honour all purchases where an e-ticket was issued before they had a chance to cancel the booking, & I was one of the lucky ones. I'm not counting my chickens just yet, but if a couple of weeks go by without a cancellation email I'll start making plans :-D

Assuming the frozen wasteland that was once North America is still there, I'll be in NYC in just over a week! I fly in on tues 16th & fly out tues 23rd. I'm gonna spend the 22nd in Montreal, taking an overnight bus there & an overnight bus back so I don't have to pay for a place to sleep on those last 2 nights (this is potentially a very stupid plan since I don't find it particularly easy to sleep on buses, and also because any weather-based delays in getting back from Canada might cause me to miss my flight home but hey I like to live dangerously)ANYWAY I guess Friday 19th is the sensible day for FAP, although again I'm on my own so almost certainly free to hang on other nights if people want. And still very up for suggestions obv - mh if you could find that thread that'd be great, I tried to have a look myself but obv a fb search for "New York" will give a zillion results

Same, did not detect inebriation. Was really great to meet all four of you (well morbs and I met once before but that was ages ago).

I guess I've reached that stage in a week's inebriation where I don't present as many outward symptoms but I sure sweat a lot

well, just keep in mind that i was much wittier and cooler than you could discern in your trashed state

Wow. There was a NYC FAP.

I am everywhere! Today I am in France. But I still have an apt in Queens. But I just got a temp resident visa for Chile. I haven't even looked at ilx in like 12 years and all of a sudden, I look at it everyday.

I missed the fap! I'm sorry. I feel like I'm juggling as much as I can, and I had tickets for the opera on Friday night which kinda ruled my weekend.

What opera did you see?!
xp well we've been around at least as long as each other; must be on different threads

Nozze di Figaro. We fell asleep. Mozart is not my speed. Actually it's possible all opera is not my speed because it takes about 90 seconds to explain the whole plot but 4 hours to re-enact.

I feel like I may have posted under my name, Carey too (not Carey Landers).
I think I remember sic. I find myself wanting to like posts and am pleased I don't have to do that courtesy.

in orbit did come to my fap but I have forgiven her also

I might visit in mid-April.
Has anyone stayed at the Beekman? It looks great but the room rate has dropped from around $450 when it opened to $250 now so i'm wondering whether there was an outbreak of Legionnaire's Disease or it's haunted by vengeful spirits, etc.
