Thu May 9 at 8:00 PM, Blue and Gold
79 East 7th Street, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
Hey, NYC. Mr. Mustachio and I will be there from May 6th - May 12th and I would very much like to meet you, because you are some of my favorites and are clearly awesome. We're totally on vacation, so the time is flexible, and the place, to a certain extent, though we will be transit dependent. Also, we are very good at getting lost, so we might need help finding you. a big meetup would be fun, but if anyone wants to take us on a field trip or two, that would be fun, too.

We're still very early in the planning stage, so hopefully we can come up with something doable for you.

PERFECT!
That sounds like a good deal, and will give the people who can't make a weekday meetup a chance to bask in my glory /hamburger.

Also, we have had a slight change of plan because airbnb stuff - we will be staying in Brooklyn until the 10th. Not that it makes a huge difference, just throwing that out there.
Any venue suggestions?
Not Guy's American Kitchen And Bar. I like fried chunks as much as the next guy, but my religion forbids me from partaking of the sauce of the donkey.

Plus I have already puked behind a dumpster at one meetup and I don't think I need to do that again.

How about Pocha 32 for Korean BBQ & watermelon soju in Manhattan one night, and then one of the usual Brooklyn bar meetups spots another night?

Regardless of what we decide on for the official meetup, I would like to check out Blue and Gold on a weeknight.

Cool! Now to figure out the day that works best. And I still like the idea of a weekend meet up for those who can't do the weekday thing.

If you're only in Brooklyn until Friday 5/10, where will you be on the weekend? I thought the change of plans meant you were heading home earlier.

OK, I have finally made it a real meetup, although I am not sure what time y'all do this (8:00 PM is the default.) I still want to do the weekend thing too, but might have to make a separate event thingy.

My milkshake draws all the butts to the yard that I can handle, and then some. No need for pens.

What time are we officially starting 8pm? or earlier?

posted by larthegreat at 10:24 AM on May 9, 2013
I plan to be there earlier than 8 - official or not my work ends at 6pm so the bar is as good a place to kill time pre-meetup as anywhere.

I'll be at an event until 9 but would like to make the meet up if possible. Could someone kindly post a group status if it looks like folks might be calling it quits for the evening or something? Thanks!

I laughed way too hard when pool tablr guy called Greg "Highlander."
Prolly too hard, but the bar for humor in well underground at this point.

Let's see - last time I was in NYC, I hit a few museums (I get in free to a lot of them, which helped because the Met is so absolutely immense) Central Park and the Film Archives, hung out and drank shitty beer with some friends in Williamsburg, ate lots of great food and some not-so-great food, and drank my way around the East Village, which was super fun and a TERRIBLE IDEA. I kicked around and talked to all kinds people, had a great time wherever I went.
So I personally am up for adventures. Possibly shenanigans.
