Meet the MeFi Intern at Shake Shack

posted July 3, 2011 2:27 PM | |

Mon July 18 at 8:00 PM, Shake Shack

11 Madison Ave, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)

Love shake shack and I'd love to finally meet Matt Howie, hopefully I won't have a late shift at the apple store and can make it. I also pledge to bring my copy of cards against humanity.

I'll give it a shot! I assume the Shake Shack line will only be four hours long at 8PM?

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE. Probably.

I may stop by, but I need to get to Casual Sketch later that evening.

Wah, the bad news is I can't go and it's right around the corner from my office. The good news is -- that's my final chemo treatment day!

Just had a Shake Shack burger with callmeal this afternoon. It was delicious. I hope I can make it on the 18th.

My boss never took me to Shake Shack when I was an intern, and we had offices literally overlooking the place. Your intern must be having an awesome time. I hope to be there!

(Also, yay for last day of chemo, thinkpiece!)

I was an intern (Pintern, even!) and I didn't get Shake Shack. I'd love to meet this intern. Will do my best.

I now have a class until 9pm; I will still try to stop by and consume burgers.

ridogi & I may be able to attend.

I have Monday off, so I might make it to this without having to rush out the office.

Looking forward to it! Mmmm, cheese fries.

Sadly, half the world called out sick today and being a good worker, I'm going to have to stay late to cover.
posted by Karmakaze at 7:19 AM on July 18, 2011

Early wake-up for me tomorrow, so I too am going to miss out on this. Sorry Matt, but have a great time everyone.

Hey, I think I can go! Hooray Twitter for telling me about it!
posted by Brainy at 1:20 PM on July 18, 2011

Gawd, it's going to be hot and crowded. I'm planning to come, but I might just stay outside where it's slightly more hot but significantly less crowded. *doesn't do well with crowds in tight spaces*

Hey, is it still supposed to thunderstorm? Do we have a rain plan?

Oh, it's like, a stand or something? I've only ever been to the one on 8th Ave. near The Times.
posted by Eideteker at 1:49 PM on July 18, 2011

Yes, it's a stand, and there's tables and what not.
posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 1:52 PM on July 18, 2011

Nobody will actually be able to eat Shake Shack right? I mean, it's a lovely idea but I can't see how it will actually happen.
posted by Brainy at 2:51 PM on July 18, 2011

It's raining on Long Island. Is it raining in NYC? Or am I DOOMED to be hot and MISERABLE FOREVER?
posted by Eideteker at 3:10 PM on July 18, 2011

"Yes, it's a stand, and there's tables and what not."

So it's actually a Shake Stand? Or is it more of a shanty? A Shake Shanty?
posted by Eideteker at 3:13 PM on July 18, 2011

It's not raining here (I'm just a few blocks away now) but the sky is ominous and growing darker. Crap, if it rains, I can't hang outside with my stupid cast, so we'll have to think of something nearby.

omg I so own that idea now. ALL COMMENTS ARE COPYRIGHT THEIR POSTERS. I officially have the Shake Shanty patent now. YOU ALL SAW IT! YOU'RE ALL WITNESSES!

My office is closed and I have no errands to do, so, I am at the Shack awaiting the wrath of the rain gods.

on my way . . .

On the radar, it looks like the storm blew past us!
posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 3:51 PM on July 18, 2011

I went ahead and got on the food line, if nobody's here by the time I get close to the window, I'll just let people cut in front of me until the group coalesces.
posted by oh yeah! at 4:02 PM on July 18, 2011

I'm on the way now. It better not rain because I'm bicycling.

Were on the bunches opposite the shack!

We have abandoned our primo line spot to sit on a bench by the end of the line and socialize
posted by oh yeah! at 4:41 PM on July 18, 2011

( nothing says socialize like simultaneous posting)
posted by The Whelk at 4:42 PM on July 18, 2011

Ok, line waiting, take two. Come find us, mefites!
posted by oh yeah! at 4:56 PM on July 18, 2011

Where are you guys now?
posted by sciencegeek at 6:28 PM on July 18, 2011

I just got home.
posted by Obscure Reference at 6:32 PM on July 18, 2011

It was wet.
posted by fuq at 7:03 PM on July 18, 2011

That was moist, yo.
posted by mintcake! at 7:03 PM on July 18, 2011

NICE.
posted by mintcake! at 7:04 PM on July 18, 2011

Great to see you made it to NYC in one piece, Matt! Great to meet you, Intern! And great to see all the rest of you as well, even in the rain.

Great meeting all you guys! The rats and I had a swell time.
posted by modernserf at 7:34 PM on July 18, 2011

Me and Pips woulda come but we were in Central Park dancing in the rain to Hayes Carll, Emmylou Harris & Levon Helm.
posted by jonmc at 7:48 PM on July 18, 2011

Well, by the time we got there everyone was gone and the rain had stopped, so we had delicious burgers and went home.

Was that a land speed record for Meetup involving mod? You guys must have been there for less than an hour.
posted by sciencegeek at 7:57 PM on July 18, 2011

Just got home, soaked to the skin, barely saw anyone-and barely anyone saw me. Next time can we go for a meet up with a roof?
posted by miss-lapin at 8:12 PM on July 18, 2011

That was an abrupt ending, yes. Sorry to miss you, miss-lapin.
posted by mintcake! at 8:16 PM on July 18, 2011

Damp.

But of course, 5 minutes after y'all fucked off, the rain stopped. sigh.
posted by gaspode at 8:34 PM on July 18, 2011

Of course it did....


Sigh.
posted by The Whelk at 8:46 PM on July 18, 2011

I didn't fuck off as you well know. (I'm glad we hung out.)
posted by miss-lapin at 8:49 PM on July 18, 2011

Just so, miss-lapin. Wine and cocktails salvaged the evening.
posted by gaspode at 8:53 PM on July 18, 2011

I dint know if I could have taken another 5 minutes though. I'm a rain wimp (it tickles!). But it was a pretty great, if short, meet up and shake shack was awesome as always.
posted by Brainy at 8:56 PM on July 18, 2011

I was glad I brought another shirt. I had plenty of time to change before the show. =)

Hope to see you guys again soon at another venue. Not too sure about this walk Broadway thing if it's going to be above 95º!

We were there (incl. Matt) from about 7:30 til 9-9:15. Sorry we missed you, sciencegeek. And if I'd realized anyone was staying, I would have, too. Sorry, podeeeee and miss-lapin.
posted by Eideteker at 9:58 PM on July 18, 2011

I got sick and couldn't come. Damn my inferior immune system.
