we'll pick a bar that doesn't card.

i am in nj for thanksgiving weekend, i could be down for a nyc FAP.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 24 November 2005 05:34 (eighteen years ago) link

If there is ever a Wednesday FAP, I'll try to come. It's my only night off most weeks. (I know, not most people's best night for drinking. Fortunately Lady Sov's on a Weds., yay.)

xp jbr: still puts me around the 7th unfortunately. but yeah. i'll go unshaven for a few days etc

― nervous (cochere), Thursday, 24 November 2005 05:36 (eighteen years ago) link

the night of the 7th is a wednesday. this kills two birds.

― 'you' vs. 'city hall' FITE (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 24 November 2005 05:38 (eighteen years ago) link

oh shit
time to figure out for sure when my last final is

― nervous (cochere), Thursday, 24 November 2005 05:39 (eighteen years ago) link

hopefully i won't need to go to any exciting city council housing forums that night!

― 'you' vs. 'city hall' FITE (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 24 November 2005 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

ok, so i'm liking the idea of drinking midweek and i generally think it's funner to get people together on a boring weeknight than waste their valuable weekend time.

if any underage drunks are free next wednesday night (the 7th), can you recommend a bar that doesn't card? in an easy-to-get-to part of brooklyn, maybe on the F train? i like boat on smith street but i forget if they card.

― like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 15:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't remember Boat carding anyone last time I was there, but a lot of these places are completely intermittent with their carding skillz so I don't want to be held accountable for my last experience.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:31 (eighteen years ago) link

shit
carding or lack thereof is going to make or break a dec7 FAP for me

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got a work Christmas do on Wednesday but I could pop in after that so I'd be on the later side (9-10pm). Yay Brooklyn booze-up. Can't help about the carding, soz.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

What!?!?! There's things in Brooklyn worth doing not off the first three L stops!?@?!@?1

― 'you' vs. 'radio gnome invisible 3' FITE (ex machina), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link

honestly WHEN OH WHEN WILL I TURN 21

or have enough disposable cash to buy a fake

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link

o'connors? not terribly close to the trains, though.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:38 (eighteen years ago) link

If anyone is interesting in drinking with me on monday nights on the LES, I know a bar where you can still smoke and the bartender likes CRASH WORSHIP and ALEX IN NYC music.

Also, under 21s can drink. I was there till 2:45 am this week and my tab was $3 because I am a regular.

jon makes this sound like fucking paradise on earth for me but i am slightly scared of him

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd go to O'Connors -- it's not far from the 7th Ave B/Q or that 1/9 stop on Flatbush (don't remember the name, though). Plus it's closer to me than JBR's neighborhood.

Can't booze on Mondays, though, or I'd try the LES smoke-fest.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:41 (eighteen years ago) link

next monday is iffy for me. i can, but i have something big going on earlier that day that could totally sap my energy.

Bring lotsa straws.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

o'connor's (apostrophe or no?) it is then.

it's the 2/3 train, but i'm not sure what the stop is.

― like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

One of my friend's went home with someone from our monday night bar and didn't turn up for 2 days!

― 'you' vs. 'radio gnome invisible 3' FITE (ex machina), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

One of my friend's went home with someone from our monday night bar and didn't turn up for 2 days!

this could easily be me if i hang out with you guys because i have no way of getting back to nj after 2am or so and very few places to stay in nyc

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

how are you coming in? PATH?

― like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Nerve, where do you live? Is this a train schedule thing?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm down the raritan valley line from newark... i can generally get into newark penn fine with the PATH but there aren't any trains from newark to home until 5 or 6am and i know from being stranded there before that the station police don't look kindly upon drunks

but yeah, i'd probably be taking the PATH in

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:12 (eighteen years ago) link

come earlier, have some beers and shots, and take off whenever you need to!

worse comes to worst, that's why all-night diners were invented! (xpost)

― like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Right, I understand NJT. Well, the 2/3 DOES go to Chambers St, so you can walk over from the WTC Path train easily from there and catch the 2/3 to Bergen St. (not far from the bar in question). Works out all right, all things considered. Have to keep an eye on the clock, that's all.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Can someone post a googlemaps link to this bar?

― 'you' vs. 'radio gnome invisible 3' FITE (ex machina), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

xp haha sorry jon, no

but yeah, i'm guessing i'd probably come earlier, then try to meet up with one of my nyc friends from school to drink more and convince them to let me stay over. or just leave early and go home while the NJT trains are still running if worst comes to worst

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

how's 7:30 for a rough-estimate start time? that would give people a chance to grab a slice after work, figure out train business, etc.

That would be fine for me; I'll be a few later as I work in a coal mine and need to shower.

nervous, if your friend falls through, i'd be more than happy to supply you with a place to crash for the night. i know well the horrors of having to catch the $40 cab from newark late at night because i missed the last train out, so i sympathize. the raritan valley line, she is a CRUEL MISTRESS.

though fwiw i'm not sure i can actually attend this FAP. but let me know anyway.

― joseph (joseph), Thursday, 1 December 2005 00:38 (eighteen years ago) link

oh awesome, thanks

i shd probably swap cell phone numbers with a few of the people who are planning on attending, because i highly anticipate getting lost or confused

miz maura dotcom has advised me to make a contingency plan in case we can't get a table in the beer garden... there's another bar nearby (Sparrow; 24-01 29th Street) that's supposed to be good.
