Zaxxon flattened my village and Q-Bert talks dirty to me. Maybe.

The surprising, stealth rebirth of the American arcade.

Yes. NYC mefites just don't like to commit.

I will come if someone will walk with me to Momofuku Milk Bar before or afterwards so I can get a spiked milkshake.

Will they have that tomorrow, though? They usually post the taps of the current day on their blog.
It might matter. I might go to this? I don't know?

Pacific Standard has had Hop Angel on cask for a few weeks now. We should do a meetup there one of these days.

I keep meaning to go there, but have never been! Also, while I've had the Hop Angel before, and like it a lot, I don't believe I've ever had it with extra dry-hopping. Really, I'm just a sucker for the addition of more hop aroma to anything.

I will likely attend this as long as my workout prior doesn't take too long. Nothing like a house wine to take the edge off doing squats and bench press for the first time in 3 months.
My arms are so sore.

I would literally make poffins if it meant you would commit to coming
I've actually been eyeing various recipes with a mind toward making sour, dry, sweet, and bitter ones

I think the painting class they took was an OKCupid event, so they were probably running high on the fumes of minglin' singles!
