So, I might as well post here too then. Next Wednesday evening Fine Fine Music and I will be at a bar in Midtown probably from around 6:30 ish and will be joined by Benegessiret shortly thereafter before heading out to see Pulp. I know that it's a really busy week and that the Chickfactor shows are in Brooklyn that night, but if anyone will be in that general vicinity and wants to grab a drink let me know.

could probably do this if you let me know which bar, I work on the east side of midtown around Grand Central and usually get out at 7

xp yes, in town tomorrow (on a bus now) and will see you in Brooklyn at 8!

x-post So, we're meeting Benegesserit at 7:30ish at http://www.yelp.com/biz/jimmys-corner-new-york which, yeah, is near Times Square but is supposedly the best that general area has to offer. 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.

hi visitors! my next week is extremely busy, but i am having a birthday party at my apartment in brooklyn friday 4/13 so if anyone wants to come let me know!
― bene_gesserit, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
I might be dead by then but I'll get back to you about that.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Friday, 6 April 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
Jimmy's Corner is perfect.
Was gonna suggest it as the only non-heinous bar in that area but didn't wanna be presumptuous ;)
and yeah it's easy to get over there on the shuttle from where I'm at
― dmr, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
i might be dead too! haha. party with my corpse, weekend at bernie's style
― bene_gesserit, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago) link

I might be able to party down depending on when as-yet unannounced screening of new Three Stooges movie is :p

― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Sunday, 8 April 2012 04:01 (twelve years ago) link
Great to meet everyone last night. It is a gorgeous day and I'm on the Highline. Horseshoe, it's worth it and I'm pretty sure one or two people are getting drunk up here, maybe even with their sisters. Hitting Brighton Beach tomorrow, let me know if you're at a loose end!
― ljubljana, Sunday, 8 April 2012 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
Nice to meet you two! And thanks everyone for making such a good impression on my IRL friend.
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 9 April 2012 01:25 (twelve years ago) link

― iatee, Monday, 9 April 2012 01:29 (twelve years ago) link
yes, thanks everyone for coming out! ljub, i don't think i'm going to make it to brighton beach today, but have fun!
― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:00 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like I got a little bit drunker than everyone else, you were all very well behaved, and may have talked people's heads off at the end, there. It's my fate to be that girl, I think. Oh well!

sorry I was paralyzed with sciatica (maybe) in Connecticut
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Monday, 9 April 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
ugh I have had sciatica multiple times in my life, it does suck
― iatee, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
oh no, dr. morbs! i hope you feel better. i am going to meet you one of these days, anyway.
laurel, i got plenty drunk. also you missed it, but i knocked my chair over like a graceless thing when iatee first arrived. was not even drunk at that point.
― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link

― wrapped sausage stylus (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 April 2012 14:34 (twelve years ago) link

― lag∞n, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
I used to be more into including the whole board or w/e but you know, these days I feel like the fun is intended for the people who showed up for it. I'm okay with that.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Monday, 9 April 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
laurel it was nice seeing you last night, i'm sorry i don't go out much these days. or rather i don't go out to ilxor events. i still go out to eat burgers and stuff.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 9 April 2012 15:26 (twelve years ago) link
Hey Ian, same to you, buddy. Also I want to see more of Helen, can you make that happen, please? Always bring her to nerd night!
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Monday, 9 April 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
HS I am very sorry to have missed you especially by such a short time. :(
I am getting really excited now. Gah!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
Me too! I have nerves, because I never travel alone and also from excitement. Basically I can't wait to just be there, to silence the nerves, since I am always fine once I am there. Still intimidated by US money, will probably give the cashier a $20 for my first coffee since all these damn bills look the same to me :) Love my Canadian Monopoly money!

*hands ENBB a $20*
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:39 (twelve years ago) link

― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah! Loonies and toonies. Bwahaha.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, we just outlawed* the penny so I'll make sure to bring one of those too, since they're so ~rare~ now.
*Discontinued, but outlawed definitely sounds funnier
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
Just confirming that tonight is still def on. We'll be at Jimmy's from about 6:00 pm. Looking forward to meeting some of you!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 11:51 (twelve years ago) link
i'll try to be at jimmy's corner by 7:30! i heard they went on at 9 sharp last night, and i need to get a few drinks in me for maximum screaming and jumping up and down to happen!
― bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
i think you guys might be hanging out with my co-worker Erin tonight...? she left half an hour ago to go to jimmy's corner.

i hope the pulp was fun and there was jumping up and down and screaming fandom!i had fun at the fun bar bar with you all :) <3
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 12 April 2012 03:07 (twelve years ago) link
great seeing you robyn
it was funny how many of the people at jimmy's were obviously going to be heading over to Radio City. I mean it's kind of an after-work bar that empties out post-happy hour anyway but after the showgoers left it was REALLY empty.
did not see Erin but it was p crowded when I first got over there. fun meeting you out-of-towners.
― dmr, Thursday, 12 April 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
The show was amazing and the was definitely a lot of jumping and dancing. Thanks to everyone who came out. It was great to meet u all. :)
