was the gershwin nice, adam? and by that I don't mean "quaint and falling apart".

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, it was nice. "Boutiquey" and "functional". The rooms are small but very clean and there are a lot of framed prints and photos everywhere.

hahaha Oregon's delegation is staying at the Roosevelt.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:31 (nineteen years ago) link

This is a list of where the delegates are staying.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:31 (nineteen years ago) link

They do a lot of fashion shoots there and there is a decent bar downstairs. Pretty good position too unless you would prefer to be further south (it's midtown).

Maybe some NYCer would like to contradict me?

also kyle the GOP might be gone by the 2nd but the fallout and/or sarin and anthrax won't be.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:32 (nineteen years ago) link

what is the difference b/w a "rack rate" room and a "standard room," incidentally? I see this nonsense every time I try to book hotels.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:32 (nineteen years ago) link

It's perfect for the West Coast metrosexual in all of us!

xpost!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:32 (nineteen years ago) link

wow, they put the Massers up at the Drake, I've stayed there, it's nice.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:33 (nineteen years ago) link

they put all the small state delegations close to Ground Zero.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

the gershwin is fine. it's not ultra-high-end luxury, but it's clean and comfortable and quiet and just "boutiquey" enough.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

no Republicans are staying at the Chelsea.

Metrosexuals to thread!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Does that last one have a pocket for my Blackberry?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:48 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe this guy will be there, he looks pretty metrosexual:

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:48 (nineteen years ago) link

not a good look for 2004:

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

That guy's pants are held up by A STRING!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

you pull those drawstring pants up around your face and convert them into an airtight hazmat suit

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyway, I DO hate taxes. More power to him.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Also-his blacks don't match.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Adam what about the fact that his FOREHEAD IS HUGE?!?!?!??

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Aw Kyle that stinks... You should totally come a week earlier or later. (When't your wife's birthday, btw, cuz mine's Sept 6).

I'd invite you guys to stay with me if I had anything more than a loveseat. Ask hstencil.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:52 (nineteen years ago) link

that's the worst pokemon trading card I've ever seen.

I know nothing about Aaron W.'s alleged "loveseat."

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:53 (nineteen years ago) link

hopefully we'll see you this year Aaron!

her birthday is actually the 1st.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:53 (nineteen years ago) link

That too.

Kyle, didn't you go for her birthday last year?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

yes, it's what we do now for her birthday. hawaii was too freaking expensive.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I know nothing about Aaron W.'s alleged "loveseat."

I still don't know why you rushed off all of a sudden yesterday.

hopefully we'll see you this year Aaron!

Definitely! I'll gladly take some time off law school to wish you both well. Seriously, don't come during the RNC. Make it a week before or after. This city is gonna be insane.

her birthday is actually the 1st.

Ah well... No one's perfect. Especially us virgos.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:57 (nineteen years ago) link

it is the week after, though; we get there the last day of the convention (the 2nd)

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:57 (nineteen years ago) link

These pictures make me think of San Francisco! Kyle will be right at home!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:58 (nineteen years ago) link

that last one is from San Francisco.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:58 (nineteen years ago) link

My bday is the same day as Aaron W, and if we are lucky Siouxie Sioux will be playing that day; I know, I never spell that right.

siouxsie? where where where? I hope so!

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

are you trying to tell us something gabbneb? Either about yourself or Log Cabin Republicans?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Mary's bday AND Siouxie Siouxxxe. Best Bday evah.

I wonder if tickets are still available. If people are going on the 6th, I am up for going on the 6th as well.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

you people still don't get that NYC will be partially destroyed by then, I guess.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:04 (nineteen years ago) link

I was waiting until someone who lived there said it so I wasn't accused of being all negative, h.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:05 (nineteen years ago) link

will the hotel rooms be cheaper after the TERROR?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I work 2 blocks from Ground Zero, what do you expect?

Also, if you and your wife go down there to take pictures during your vacation, I will be very disappointed in you.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:06 (nineteen years ago) link

we've been there twice since the first terror and we only go by there to go to century 21

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

kyle it'll be like Escape from New York - they won't let you leave.

l to r: kyle, me.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

that looks just like me!

i will be referring to everything as "the terror" from now on, btw.
