the stone is very barren and small, no bar, weak a/c that they turn off during quiet performances (can't really fault them for this tbh), but lots of great people play there. and there are chairs, which is cool, cuz i love sitting down.

yeah I'd probably like it fine, I mean I've enjoyed myself at all kinds of bone-dry 'avant' shows.

i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link

6 is good for me. I'm basically free from early afternoon if anyone wants to meet more like 4/5.

Where can I buy a really like like 10ft headphone mini jack extension cable?

i made the mistake of taking the train from Broadway/Lafayette yesterday -- forgot how fucking brutal that station is. Stagnant air, stinky trash, dripping sweat, baking. Gross shit!

nice to know some things never change. i always characterized the smell in bway/lafayette to myself as "hot yogurt"

so this is at the Magician? will plan to go if I don't see the Mets.

White Out sounds good but anyone up for grabbing a pint and running off to Japanther (tentative).

I can aim for 5 as long as I've figured out navigation, let's have non-locals beat NYCers

Got you covered.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Thursday, 27 June 2013 00:40 (ten years ago) link

BTW Morbz (or non-morbz) are there good rep cinemas I can check out, esp during daytimes?

pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Thursday, 27 June 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link

you might wanna consult this

http://www.screenslate.com/

or the linked schedules for the Film Forum downtown, or the Film Society of Lincoln Center (or MoMA, where you can see a film for $10 if you don't wanna do the $25 general admission).

playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 27 June 2013 14:24 (ten years ago) link

ooohh, tyvm. If I can get the hostel to hold my bags* I might get to Drunken Master 2 at 14:00

*can't check in 'til 14:30.

PS if anyone has this week's Mad Men on a cheapo thumb drive they can bring to the bar, I will buy you a fancy drink

pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Thursday, 27 June 2013 14:38 (ten years ago) link

pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Friday, 28 June 2013 01:03 (ten years ago) link

Shout at me

i didn't even give much of a fuck that you were mod (forksclovetofu), Friday, 28 June 2013 02:21 (ten years ago) link

So it's the Magician, right? I might come by for a bit (depending on weather) if that's cool!

Doctor Casino, Friday, 28 June 2013 04:43 (ten years ago) link

Sic I will bring mad men.

Which bar are we meeting at again?

caek, Friday, 28 June 2013 13:09 (ten years ago) link

Ignore me I got it.

caek, Friday, 28 June 2013 13:26 (ten years ago) link

our friends WHITE OUT play at The Stone
Somebody told me it was Zeena Parkins week over there. Oh, I see.

Don't know if I can make any of this, have something else, but I will check threads for updates as the evening plays out.

Does anyone know anywhere nice and quiet and not hot i could meet a friend for lunch and a beer around penn station?

caek, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:22 (ten years ago) link

there's this all in one place called ROAST TOWN that does everything off of 8th ave and 34th... they have an upstairs seating area w/ free wifi that doesn't get too crowded. you won't impress anybody by bringing them there though. i like their takeaway sushi

乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:26 (ten years ago) link

the upstairs area has no windows. it's dark, like a bar.

乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:28 (ten years ago) link

but it's not really a sitdown place, or a restaurant even. i'll defer to others

乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:40 (ten years ago) link

:D caek

(if you have Veep finale too, :D :D )

pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Friday, 28 June 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link

there are a lot of restaurants on 9th ave in the 40s, might be a bit far tho

乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 15:02 (ten years ago) link

No veep sorry. You have something that can read the USB stick right?

Thanks for the penn suggestions dy

caek, Friday, 28 June 2013 15:34 (ten years ago) link

i was out drinking til 1:30 last night so u may get to play Watch Dr M Pass Out.

playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Friday, 28 June 2013 17:29 (ten years ago) link

i fell asleep on the subway and work up at 145 st. what an adventure!

caek, Saturday, 29 June 2013 19:17 (ten years ago) link

Ugh, sorry I missed this! Just didn't have the energy to go back out after getting caught in the rain on my ride home.

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 29 June 2013 19:29 (ten years ago) link

sorry to have bailed so early! sounds like caek had fun

max, Saturday, 29 June 2013 20:00 (ten years ago) link

it was nice to see everyone, and to meet some folks for the first time.
let's drink again.

especially max, because you live near me. there is a good wing night on mondays at brooklyn tap house, a ridiculous sports bar.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Saturday, 29 June 2013 20:50 (ten years ago) link

That was fun! Let's have mystery late-night Chinese food at least once a month, okay? Of course by the time dayo gets back from 6 weeks in HK he'll be like, bring me all the tacos in the land.

i fell asleep on the subway and work up at 145 st. what an adventure!

So towards the end when you went all quiet and frowny you weren't actually mad, just really drunk? I had too much tea w dinner and then couldn't sleep until 5am.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Saturday, 29 June 2013 21:28 (ten years ago) link

Ian!!! Wings and beer. Let's do it

max, Sunday, 30 June 2013 00:01 (ten years ago) link

no late-night food ever

playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 30 June 2013 00:31 (ten years ago) link

wau sounds like you guys had a party!
tell me more about mystery chinese. i am imagining a drunken group of ilxors staggering around chinatown.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Sunday, 30 June 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link

Your powers of imagination are noteworthy, the only missing element being that one of the ilxors spoke Mandarin and made it all happen for us.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Sunday, 30 June 2013 15:53 (ten years ago) link

I can't bleeve you made it to Chinatown after all them drinks.

I was p much out on my feet when I left before midnight, but popped into a Siegfried & Roy-themed bar night on 14th St. It was cool cuz a couple friends were there, but after one beer I fled.

playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 30 June 2013 15:56 (ten years ago) link

max, i would be down for wings on the early happy hour side tomorrow if you are into it. eveningtime i going to see some ladies play rekkerds in manhattan.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Sunday, 30 June 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link

Oh yeah I can't go to that btw. Something got moved to Monday that was supposed to be last week. Rats.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Sunday, 30 June 2013 16:54 (ten years ago) link

So towards the end when you went all quiet and frowny you weren't actually mad, just really drunk?

ha, you know me too well! i fell asleep literally the second i sat down (on the wrong train, as it happens).

caek, Sunday, 30 June 2013 17:20 (ten years ago) link

i had a great time! let's do stuff again! i'm free mondays - sundays until 2016.

caek, Sunday, 30 June 2013 17:20 (ten years ago) link

fuck, i want to go to new york
