Update: I am still free of hot water! I have smudged my eyeliner and I'm wearing flannel, but the grunge look isn't convincing. Seriously though, if anyone wants to let me borrow their shower I would be beyond thrilled! I live in Kensington/Windsor Terrace and I am not a psycho killer. posted by the young rope-rider at 5:30 AM on May 14, 2012
Sorry to hear that, YRR. I'd lend you use of my shower if I didn't live in Jersey.
But I just want to say that this event is entered into my phone as "MeFites!: Brooklyn Birthday Beer Bonanza!".
Clearly I am excited for this event, even though the actual birthday is today, because no amount of macaroni and cheese can cause me to alliterate that much. posted by bookwibble at 10:26 AM on May 15, 2012
I am freshly showered and really, really excited. This is going to be epic. bookwibble, what a good choice of place! Did you do anything special for your birthday? I hope so! posted by the young rope-rider at 5:10 AM on May 16, 2012
So my friend got a root canal and seems desperate for human company, which means that I'm heading to his house this evening at around eight for a round of Settlers of Cataan while I encourage him to Keep Your Chin Up Buddy, Hey There Sport, It'll Get Better, Champ, Hey Look You Got The Longest Road, Tiger.
So: I will be at the meetup, but in a come-early-leave-early kind of way, likely from 7 to 8. See you all this evening! posted by Greg Nog at 6:53 AM on May 16, 2012
Also someday I will remember that despite rhyming with Bataan, Catan is spelled with only two As, but TODAY IS NOT THAT SOMEDAY posted by Greg Nog at 6:55 AM on May 16, 2012
I'm kind of looking at a similar "come early stay briefly" thing, although not for quite so altruistic a reason. posted by EmpressCallipygos at 7:47 AM on May 16, 2012
I always put that extra "a" in Catan too. Nice to know I'm not alone. posted by Sokka shot first at 8:03 AM on May 16, 2012
If all goes well I will be bringing a guest! If not I will be coming on time and leaving way, way late! :D posted by the young rope-rider at 8:08 AM on May 16, 2012
YRR, it was fantastic. And today will be even better, what with the day off, and the museum, and being waited on hand and foot at the MoMA's cafe. And that's not even counting the NBC Experience Store, or the bookstore I plan to go to!
Looks like my friend's latest dentist session left him in SEVERE PAIN. This is bad for my friend, of course, but better for me not having a time-limit on beerdrinking! VIVA LA MOUTH PAIN posted by Greg Nog at 1:51 PM on May 16, 2012
Alas, I am completely tied in knots with vacationy family stuff and I won't make it. Although I do realize that I'll regret this for the rest of my life. posted by raisingsand at 3:22 PM on May 16, 2012
There will be cupcakes and jerky!
