damn!! if i hadn't been working i could have been following the thread and made it to the movie! it's 6:30 now and i'm not sure if i can make it by 7pm

btw in the big theatre of the Pavillion there is this one totally wicked seat that has no seat in front of it. dead centre like 8th row. it's a great place to see stuff.

Caliegh, it's okay! It happened yesterday (Saturday), not today (Sunday). You couldn't have cought up with us unless you found a way to time travel.

I'm pretty sure that special seat is for the handicapped, though.

I promise that the next time we all do something together, we'll do everything possible to make it so that you can come along, Caliegh.

Yeah, we're all coming to your house with a jug of Carlo Rossi sangria to delete the pictures off your digital camera, if we have to.

Ethan Hawke

04:01 / 30.06.03

I'm really glad that lolita deleted all of Qalyn's pictures, because I'm sure there were some of me looking all goofy on there. I was dreading logging onto this thread tonight because I felt sure there would be some embarrassing photos. I even had a contigency plan in place, where I took pictures of myself looking all sharp today for the wedding I went to.

Anyway, much fun was had. We must do it again sometime.

Lionheart

04:19 / 30.06.03

I still don't understand why you keep reffering to those crazed soccer hooligans as "zombies."

FinderWolf

15:28 / 30.06.03

Sorry all - I couldn't attend and missed it. But I will do a NYC BarbeMeet sometime, I promise. I'm psyched to see this movie sometime, too - I hear it's great.

16:36 / 30.06.03

I wouldn't have done that, Todd. My camera has a special feature that makes everyone look ugly, even me. I probably should have just bought one, instead of stealing it from that old Gypsy fortune teller.

Ethan Hawke

16:45 / 30.06.03

You guys have to list the graffiti you put up. I was otherwise occupied being wasted, or smoking outside or something, to see it all.

Matthew Fluxington

16:52 / 30.06.03

Stuff I wrote:

"I will do anything for Sheryl Crow tickets. Call me - (212) 933 2097 Ask for Louis."

"Teach Me How To Speak Elvish"

"Help Me, Fiona Apple"

"Peter Cetera" (in prog/metal font)

"Stone Temple Pilots"

"Ja Rule w/ Ashanti"

Next to some wordy, cryptic bit of graffiti, Qalyn wrote:

"Just write 'fuck' on the wall, college boy."

8===>Q: alyn

17:02 / 30.06.03

There's a real problem in lower Manhattan with these floppy-haired trust fund douchebags who move here from Maryland or Arizona or someplace to go to NYU and write artsy grafitti in bars. It makes me furious. It's bad enough they priced me out of my neighborhood--that really is no particular douchebag's fault and I don't hold it against them personally--but pretentious grafitti is just beyond the pale.

Ethan Hawke

17:11 / 30.06.03

Whose phone number is that, Flux?

Ethan Hawke

17:24 / 30.06.03

We should really do real-life Mafia sometime in the next few weeks. Now including flux, we had 6 people there who were in the online games, so we should be able to rope in 3 or 4 more folks for a quorum. The only problem, I guess, is figuring out where to do it.

MJ-12

17:29 / 30.06.03

Flux,
What did Louis do to piss you off, anyway?

Lolita N,
I think the mass pic deletion really calls for moving from Carlo Rossi into full-on wine in a box mode.

Lionheart,
My Momma always did say, "zombie is as zombie does."

lolita nation

17:33 / 30.06.03

Not that phone number, but the one he wrote on the wall, was actually my phone number, I think. No calls yet.

Real life mafia + wine in a box. I'm bout it bout it. When?

iconoplast

18:03 / 30.06.03

I still maintain you should have used the rejection line's number.

Anyway - wine in a box isn't appealing, but real life mafia does sound fun. I get this feeling the online version is... I dunno. The Role Playing aspect confuses things, I think.

Matthew Fluxington

18:10 / 30.06.03

The number was Lolita's telephone number with one number changed.

I just made Louis up. Louis just sounds like the name of a 20-something guy who would be really into Sheryl Crow to me.

The number in this thread was just made up on the spot because I couldn't remember the number on the wall.

8===>Q: alyn

19:43 / 30.06.03

The only problem, I guess, is figuring out where to [play Mafia].

Macy's?

iconoplast

22:28 / 30.06.03

If Remote Bar is still open, I nominate that place.

Constant Surveillance = Paranoid Strategies.

I have plenty of photos of people looking ridiculous, so don't worry about any deletions. That picture of Todd doing that thing with the can of Pepsi... it's a classic.

I was just hearing that I can somehow get up to NYC via some sort of New Jersey transit dodge for about $20 return, rather than the $100 that it cost me last weekend. Which is a good thing. Further research needs to be done.

w1rebaby

00:01 / 01.07.03

and wine in a box rules

not only is it much more economical than wine in a bottle, you can get the retro "stealing booze off your parents they won't notice if it's in a box" thing going, and everyone knows pretending to be a teenager again is cool

iconoplast

00:18 / 01.07.03

I keep trying to talk friends into having retro "My Parents are in Europe" parties while housesitting, but everyone seems to have gotten a lot smarter about such things in the last decade.

Hm. Is there a British equivalent to this? "My parents are in Majorca" or something?

w1rebaby

00:34 / 01.07.03

Just "my parents are away", visiting Aunty Jean, off on a dirty weekend, something along those lines. Majorca, they would have taken you along probably, it's pretty cheap.

Ethan Hawke

00:50 / 01.07.03

I think me and my close personal friend Carlo need to nip this box fetish in the bud.

No boxes! Jugs!

w1rebaby

01:34 / 01.07.03

Now, you see, this "jug" thing is something that I am not familiar with.

From visits to liquor stores (state controlled in PA) I have determined that wines contained in jugs are low quality and drunk by those desperate for booze. Why else would they have handles on the bottle?

But surely that puts them in the same category as Mad Dog 20/20 and similar beverages? I think that's a little too downmarket. You want to be able to pretend that you are not simply after alcohol. It would be like turning up to a party with eight Special Brew.

8===>Q: alyn

05:08 / 01.07.03

Personally, I like both quote-unquote boxes and quote-unquote jugs.

MJ-12

12:23 / 02.07.03

Todd, while I appreciate (nay-admire!) your desire to join a jug-band, I don't see why you need to rain on everybody else's parade.

Caleigh

06:00 / 03.07.03

First of all, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that that has been said......

What was the movie like? Is it worth seeing? Anyone had dreams about it since?

I'm thinking of going to see the new show at the Whitney sometime soon. It's advertised in the Voice but I can't remember the title. It's all this work from international artists about the U.S. and their perception of it. Supposed to be great.

Matthew Fluxington

11:48 / 03.07.03

I liked the movie a lot. I thought it was very effective, and was well made. I haven't had dreams about it, unless you count this one dream that I had the next night in which I drank an entire six-pack of Pepsi next to a stack of shopping carts.

Lionheart

17:44 / 08.07.03

So what's the plan then?
