Zombies and Beer in NYC (6/28)

15:35 / 25.06.03

I don't care where it is, as long as I can get there easily on public transport. 7 sounds fine to me. Are beers before or after or both?

15:44 / 25.06.03

Beers can be before or after. It really doesn't matter if we go with the 7 PM show, it gives us a lot of leeway since the show will be out a little before 10 PM.

Union Square is just about perfect location-wise - Virtually every major subway line hits 14th St, and many of them go directly to 14th/Union Square. Folks taking the F/2/3/1/9/A/C/E will have to walk a few blocks over, which isn't a big deal.

15:53 / 25.06.03

Union Square at 7 is ideal. There's no way I can buy tickets online--but I'll be over there in person this evening. lolita, I can front you the ticket if you PROMISE to not flake. Unless some trusting soul wants to front for me and fandango the tix. I'm already committed to being there if just so fridge is not left wandering the streeeets in search of braaaains.

Yeah, I bet it'll be that busy.

15:54 / 25.06.03

7 is good for me, too, because I have a wedding in New Jersey to go to the next day, so I really can't get too hammered.

As far as drinking goes, does anyone have any venue suggestions in the area?

15:55 / 25.06.03

There's a really nice (ie dark, relatively cheap, not too full of assholes) place a few blocks away, next to the Belmont Lounge, if anyone knows where that is.

15:56 / 25.06.03

Okay. It seems that we are all agreeing on 7 PM at UA Union Square, so let's consider that official now.

I think I've got Lolita covered on this, Qalyn.

16:00 / 25.06.03

Just how many assholes are we talking about, here?

Just how many assholes are we talking about, here?

Seven/eight, max.

20:38 / 25.06.03

And will I be able to get into that bar? I'm 20....THOUSAND YEARS OLD!

06:22 / 26.06.03

Okay all you American zombie fans... first, I hope you enjoy the film. Second, you absolutely HAVE to post your responses to it in the 28 Days thread, cos I'm fascinated by American reactions to it.

THREAD RECAP

Just in case you haven't been following along - here's how things stand:

28 Days Later - Saturday, June 28, 2003 A.D.
7:00 pm (19:00)
Union Square UA Stadium (14th street).

Flux=Tremendously Courteous has provided a link, above in thread, for pre-purchase of tickets, which is recommended.

Qalyn has suggested a bar wear there are likely to be few asshole; at most 7 or 8. Is that an assrodeo yet?

You shouldn't set Zombies on fire.

Did i miss anything?

16:11 / 26.06.03

I think you could probably use acid on zombies.

16:40 / 26.06.03

I think Zombies on Acid is a different Barbe-meet.

This is Zombies on Beer, hippy!

19:08 / 26.06.03

Put my name down for the Zombies on coke meet, as long as y'all are still offering to pay.

19:25 / 26.06.03

I totally left myself open for that one, didn't I?

Intentionally of course.

20:24 / 26.06.03

I hear a soothing lullaby also works on zombies. Hippy.

21:18 / 26.06.03

Todd, is this gonna go on The Chart?

12:05 / 27.06.03

Most definitely, 'lil pardner! Bring a pen.

And as for Zombies on Coke, you can have some of mine. I always end up buying a large and if you don't drink it fast, the ice melts and it gets all watery. You can give me some sour patch kids in exchange.

13:18 / 27.06.03

Well, I've got my tickets.

Who's got their tickets?

MJ-12

15:27 / 27.06.03

got it

15:47 / 27.06.03

I have my tickets. Well, technically I haven't. I have paid for my tickets, which is going to have to do until I get there.

16:17 / 27.06.03

I bought tickets as well.

What time should we meet at the theater? is 6:30 too early? I figure that's a good suggested time because some people will undoubtedly be late. Like, me.

17:25 / 27.06.03

Okay.
These people are definitely coming (i.e., have tickets)

Flux
Lolita_nation
Todd
Qalyn
MJ-12
Fridge
+ one more

Lionheart and HunterWolf expressed interest. Are you guys coming? I just want to know who we should wait for in the lobby or whatever.

Anyone else?

18:07 / 27.06.03

6:30 in the lobby will be good. I'll be there early, because I arrive everywhere early. Lolita's always early too. So everyone but Fridge should recognize us. Fridge should check the photo thread in conversation so he'll recognize us.

So where will we be drinking?

I'm coming.

Fridge & I will be in touch throughout the day, using a combination of telepathy and cutting edge gamma ray technology. Just in case, you know, those pictures don't actually look that much like us. Cuz that happens, I've heard.

For instance, I never would've made Todd for a bouncer, you for a Decepticon w/a shoulder-mounted camera, or myself for a drunken imp.

00:04 / 28.06.03

So where will we be drinking?

I wish I knew the name of the place I was recommending. I've always referred to it as "the Polish bar" but I have no idea if that's its god-given name. It has no sign or anything. It's ight round the corner from Irving Plaza, 15th or 16th or whatever that is. Next to Belmont, which does have a sign.

But it's not like there is a shortage of beer pitts around there.

15:26 / 28.06.03

So, I can, in fact, come see the xombi.

Have ticket.

6:30, Union Square Theater Lobby.

I will be carrying a copy of Tacitus, in case I don't find you-all.

16:53 / 28.06.03

I will be carrying my "Most Improved Student" certificate from my karate club. It's laminated.

15:54 / 29.06.03

It went well, wouldn't you say?

19:33 / 29.06.03

It was jolly ripping good, until lolita deleted all the pictures of strange graffiti from my camera. That made me so mad I felt like I'd had tainted blood dropped in my eye or been chained up in a courtyard or something.

I think a zombie fashion trend is in order, complete with bloody chin, randomly shaven hair, and incoherent screaming. And killing people with your teeth. Oh yes.

19:37 / 29.06.03

Also, everyone calling me Quaylyn was kinda funny.

20:09 / 29.06.03

Wait, did you get a shot of the one thing I wrote about Sheryl Crow?
