Hi, zs!!!!! Welcome to our fair/terrifying/frankly most of it smells like garbage and piss city!

Piss City, just like i pictured it... urine streams and everything

:) thanks!

i am still trying to unpack and figure out wtf is going on but it'd be nice to meet up in the near future with anyone who is game. but i got a little tipsy last night and bought tickets to iceland so i will be gone for a while starting saturday.

let me know when you're back and i'll get you dinner.

Welome to our borough, KM. Just a few more people need to move here and I can quit this hideous board. (also deGrom pitches at Citi again on the 12th)

Coney Island Ave def had THAT AUGUST SMELL this morning.

iceland? around the 17th or 29th, then.

Wait I thought Iceland was on 23rd and Lex

Drink 40s under the KENTILE ghost

Anyone been to Union Pool?

My first date with my wife was there many years ago, only because it was convenient to trains. It's a terrifying meat-market now and a half decent cozy live-venue. Best to avoid busy hours, unless you're 23, single and love crowds.

*None of the above*

I'm staying home, as former ilxor Casuistry once said.

saw Pissed Jeans there in June, hadnt been in years

ive been to union pool

kudos

no, i am just a man like any other

i've been to union pool

I've been to the Bristol carling academy it's the same deal as that

ive been to union hall

union pool >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>union hall

union pool is, as dan alluded to, a fine place to see a show. most of their sound guys seem to know what they're doing.
avoid like the plague friday/saturday nights, and most weeknights in general too i suppose.

who wants to go to hill country bbq/fried chicken with me sometime?
i went once, it was delicious.

also, OTHER HALF BREWERY = best beers in brooklyn

Union Pool's shows have gotten better (sound used to be bad) even though the bar itself has probably gotten worse.

It used to be just pissed jeans, now it's Pissed Jeans, know what I mean?

ive only been to the Hill Country in Chelsea, so yeah

btw dr morbius, i now have to take a daily heartburn pill.. i feel like i understand more about your needs than ever before.

well, don't get me started :)

Haa, my friend's band is playing at Union Pool tonight, will be going, meat market or no. Been there just once before, it was a slow night and it wasn't a bad place to be just because the back courtyard thing is enormous so you could basically avoid everybody. I'm sure if I was trying to see a band or dance it woulda been a different scene.

doc casino, is your friend M1k3 w3xl3r?

no, but if you're going to see him, don't miss Ph03n!C!4n$!

i could be wrong because of my limited sample but is mid-80s genesis a thing again?

yep, and concurrent phil solo

a thing in downtown Brooklyn?

(for people who didn't recognize shit music the first time?)

Heard some Phil Collins the other night, and then earlier I was checking out the Facebook page of a place I'm going tonight, and saw then posing with the Invisible Touch LP

Last then = them, sorry

dunno about downtown brooklyn specifically but i knew plenty of 20-30-somethings when i lived in nyc that were going through a phil/genesis phase

zs do you know where downtown brooklyn is?

this is the land of confusion

Mid-80s Phil Collins actually lives in Downtown Brooklyn

fulton mall

It's weird when you see mid-80s Phil walking around, it's like you're just seeing the memory of his face

theres just an empty space, think its gonna be a shake shack soon tho

zs do you know where downtown brooklyn is?

i think i've only set foot in for real downtown brooklyn once!

does anyone know where downtown brooklyn is
