How about taking GenjiandProust to a bar that serves some of the nicer Icelandic beers, Kaldi and Móri and Jökull and the like? Or we could go to Café Haïti, that's always nice.

I'm up for it.

Friday the 14th? And anybody have an opinion as to a place? Tonight I got pleasantly trashed at Trúnó, which is the bar below Barbara, on red wine and Freyja, a decent Icelandic beer. Anybody prefer something else?

Would prefer Íslenski barinn, myself. For that authentic feel. And it's downtown, cozy, not too expensive, all those great Icelandic beers.

I can survive Íslenski barinn. It creeps me out a little bit, but it's definitely an experience.

We could also go to more than one place, if some people want a beer and some would prefer coffee....

Friday the 14th will work, although I might be crazy jetlagged or just crazy. Do we want to set a time?

19:30?

If the date is still open for discussion – then I'd be more inclined towards Saturday. I'd be less ... crunch-lagged.

Saturday's good by me.

Saturday would also be fine with me, I am pretty sure. 19:30 on either day sounds good.

Alright, seven thirty on Saturday the 15th it is, then.

I can't go to this, but I wanted to pop in and say, "Great headline; I love Italo Calvino".

Just to let you all know, I won't be swinging by until between 21:30 and 22:00. But I'll be there. And I agree, going to more than one place would be great.

Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and krilli, you guys have got my cellphone number, right?
posted by Kattullus at 4:04 PM on January 14, 2011


I do.

I'll probably be busy tonight, but I might swing by at some point. Kári, could you maybe Memail me your number, so I can catch up with you guys?

Yay! That was fun.
posted by Kattullus at 3:45 PM on January 15, 2011


Yeah, I had a great time. We got to do this more often, with more people. I always enjoy these things.

Pics, or this thing never occurred.

Everyone forgot to bring a camera.
