I kind of want to peer pressure David into inventing a MeFi themed cocktail for the evening.

Heh. No. But I'm happy to pass it along.
a MeFi themed cocktail for the evening.
Pepsi, Blue Curacao, an ungodly portion of bitters?
I'll keep thinking

Anyway, I just got him a MeFi account 'cause he should be here anyway, so now feel free to direct your grammatical/spelling complaints to David Moo.

I probably can't make this meetup, but I was having a glass of wine there recently and noticed that the bartender, who I now presume was davidjmcgee, was reading the blue. I didn't say anything, but I did grin a little.

We did, and I still wake up screaming.

Definitely a trap. Don't touch anyone in or from Brooklyn, and definitely don't eat any of the food if they offer.
If you get bitten by a radioactive hipster, seek (discreet) medical attention immediately.

Instead of saying hello, I told my friend that the bartender was reading one of my favorite websites, and then I had to try to explain metafilter, which was a real challenge. Also you were embroiled in a conversation about some rhubarb syrup from ikea, and I didn't want to interrupt. I will next time, though!

The final result of a day of experimenting with the IKEA rhubarb syrup is the knowledge that the IKEA rhubarb syrup is not very good.

I was just at a high school reunion at Quarter! (The owner is an alum.) Ok, I haven't been to a meet up in *forever,* I am really going to make it to this one.

Sorry, didn't realize Quarter was at that level of hipster pretension where I'm supposed to throw all my money at the bartender while simultaneously bowing and creaming my pants over how great the establishment is. OMG EGG WHITES SO ARTISAN.

That is good to know, because I was really tempted to buy some of that rhubarb syrup, and now I don't have to go to ikea and accidentally buy 1000 other things.

Well, that escalated quickly.
He was definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY joking, was laughing as he said it, was in any case directing the "Fuck off" at ME, and seemed actually chagrined at having spelled it wrong. Sorry that I didn't convey all of that,
I'm happy to leave egg white out of any drink you'd like, unannihilated. No need to cream. I will accept bows if you're feeling saucy, though.

Okay. Sorry, dude, that just came across as a very serious fuck off at ME, at what was definitely a joke chiding about the misspelling, one I repeat every time I order the drink there.

I did go to a very strange and mostly wonderful school. Including their strange and wonderful idea to have a Manhattan-soaked reunion in Brooklyn for a school in Boston... Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of you (again)!

MEETUP: SUCCESS. David was a fantastic bartender, a bunch of folks showed up, and a grand old time was had by all. Hopefully 1970s Antihero will post some of the photos he took with his sweet, sweet camera.
