STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:38 / 20.12.03

OK... not sure on the exact dates yet, but myself and Mono will be in your fair city at some point mid-to-late January... probably the weekend of the 17th or thereabouts for a few days...
Which of you lovely people will be around, and can we arrange some kind of meeting?

13:09 / 20.12.03

...hmmmm... you may be able to count me in on this!

(offside: ...any NYC people able to put me up for the weekend?)

13:23 / 20.12.03

Can I suggest a Saturday Brunch meeting right now?
The NYC Barbes seem to have alot of trouble getting
it together and we haven't tried a brunch meeting yet.
I am willing to give up Mucha Lucha, Kim Possible and
all my other animated friends for the day.

14:42 / 20.12.03

damnit. I will have just missed you, as I plan on being there from around 9-12th. damnit!

Matthew Fluxington

20:08 / 20.12.03

Well, I'd be happy to meet up with you two. I don't want to speak for Q and Todd, but I'm sure we can get them to come along too. I don't know about brunch, but drinks would be fine.

23:35 / 20.12.03

mmmmm....brunch....Bloody Marys.....mmmmmm

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:14 / 21.12.03

Excellent! I'll try and sort out the exact dates as soon as possible, cos it'd be wicked to meet you all.

16:34 / 22.12.03

Hmmm....I'm seriously considering going. It's been over a year since I've gotten to bask in the greatness that is Stoatie.

XXII:X:II = XXX

18:39 / 22.12.03

I would, conceptually, be down for this.

I make no more definitive statements than that at this time.

VJB2

03:29 / 24.12.03

Once again, I hate you all.

Brigade du jour

09:01 / 24.12.03

Ah, have a brilliant time, Stoatie. Have a brilliant time, Mono (or can I still call you Dave?). New York rocks, sort of like London but taller. And they talk funny and eat a lot of sausages.

XXII:X:II = XXX

21:47 / 25.12.03

FHB: New York rocks, sort of like London but taller. And they talk funny and eat a lot of sausages.

No, baby, that's Chicago. We're all about the pizza here. The REAL pizza, not that California bullshit. Ennis even cops to it in Preacher.

But it is getting taller and taller all the damn time. Bloomberg's putting up a tower where Alexander's used to be, and the AOL Time Warner eyesore is almost complete. And of course, now, contrary to earlier caution, the new WTC is set to be the world's tallest. This is why I live in Queens: we have sky here.

VJB2

18:58 / 29.12.03

Any confirmation of the dates yet? I'll be there for sure.

14:22 / 30.12.03

It's funny that I've lived in the northeastern part of the u.s. for practically my whole life, but it takes a stoat to motivate me to finally meet the NY barbeliods.

We're planning to be in that Big Apple from Wed the 14th till late-night on Sat the 17th when we'll take a fabled Chinatwn to Chinatown 4am bus to Boston.

Let's plan!

09:53 / 31.12.03

Friday night pub meet?

Saturday brunch?

(I haven't been to NYC in 8 years, so someone else suggest a place!)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

09:59 / 31.12.03

Both of those sound like a plan... yeah, someone sort out a location!

(Although I do plan on going to the British Consulate, and finding out if they have a bar... cos I'd be able to smoke there!)

XXII:X:II = XXX

18:53 / 31.12.03

Stoat wroat: (Although I do plan on going to the British Consulate, and finding out if they have a bar... cos I'd be able to smoke there!)

There's a tobacco bar down in Soho called Karma that, from what I've heard, still allows one to smoke one's little black lungs out; they even supply hookahs and yummy flavored tobacky. My former employers had our Christmas party there last year, and while it may have been simply because we'd essentially bought out the back room, other types of smoke were overlooked, too...

VJB2

22:26 / 31.12.03

...I'm afraid according to the last New Yorker(was that it? some magazine...) the hookah bars are gone thanks to the by-law... but one that had a patio with belly dancers that still had smoking... damn, where did I read that now?

Never mind. Drunk.

08:42 / 02.01.04

Friday night/ Sat brunch sounds good to me...my folks want to get together with my uncles in the city on Saturday as well, so maybe you all will be able to rescue poor Stoatie from a dreaded family function.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

09:43 / 02.01.04

Patio? Belly dancers? Smoking?

Find out, puh-leeze! Sounds wicked!
But yes, being a Brit and totally ignorant of NYC, I'll leave the location-finding down to mono and you guys to sort out.

Four fucking days until I leave the country, man! I'm shitting myself. I rarely venture outwith the M25!

14:02 / 02.01.04

Mono, where will you and Stoat be staying in NYC?

04:22 / 04.01.04

I found a few links to some hookah bars:

Sort of swanky

Belly Dancing Here...

16:31 / 04.01.04

any suggestions in the under $20/person price bracket?

16:57 / 04.01.04

I'm up for it. Tom e the Russian Samovar place sounds very interesting but also very expensive. I wonder if we can get a discount if we bring along our own samovar?

21:22 / 04.01.04

Found the belly dancing/patio smoking/hookah place:

Kapadokya, 142 Montague St. (btw Clinton and Henry st) Brooklyn.
Hookahs from 6-11pm, Dancing at 830pm Friday.

...I don't know Brooklyn at all though. Is it far?

21:23 / 04.01.04

Should we tenatively say Cafe Karma, Friday night?

XXII:X:II = XXX

21:33 / 04.01.04

Sure, give us a time and some manner in which we'll all recognize one another. Maybe a white badge/button?

VJB2

17:17 / 05.01.04

Karma is nice place and you can smoke there (not that it is any draw for me since you can't smoke what I like to smoke there). But I can't do Friday night, I work nights and can only do days. That said, Karma is cool space and white lapel flowers sounds like a great touch.

19:45 / 05.01.04

...there's still Saturday afternoon....

What time's good for everyone Friday?

I have a top hat if that helps find me... um.. what do the rest of you look like?

Part of the fun of Barbemeets is sitting in a pub looking around at everyone for 20 minutes, trying to figure out who to approach...

XXII:X:II = XXX

22:14 / 06.01.04

Caleigh calls: Karma is nice place and you can smoke there (not that it is any draw for me since you can't smoke what I like to smoke there).

I have.

But I can't do Friday night, I work nights and can only do days.

Which bar is it that you work at? Maybe we'd move the soiree down (up?) there once we're all smoked out.

white lapel flowers sounds like a great touch.

Hmph. I'm wearing a white button. Easier to come by, I'd think.

Baz spazzed: What time's good for everyone Friday?

8? 9? Will Stoatie still be jet lagged?

what do the rest of you look like?

Hhhhuhhhh... hhhhuuuhhhhh... what're you wearing? Hhhhhh...

I'm 5'8" with brown hair, chin scruff and mutton chops. I'll probably wear my red shoes with yellow hammer & sickles on them. Beyond that, I have no idea what else I'll wear. Maybe my black shirt with white glow-in-the-dark mystical symbols all over it. I should be wearing a ring with three silver(ish) bands, unless I forget it.

I wanna get a fez before I go there. It suits the atmosphere (koff koff). Where do we keep the Shriners around these parts?

VJB2

04:45 / 07.01.04

I work at a place called CAFE STEINHOF in Park Slope Brooklyn, a bit of a trek from east village. I am down for Saturday brunch though, anywhere pretty much.

17:51 / 07.01.04

we won't be jet lagged--we're arriving in boston on friday.

caliegh-we'll be staying with a goodfriend in brooklyn, but i don't know which neighborhood becuase i haven't seen her in over a year.

iceland rocks!

19:08 / 07.01.04

Woo hoo! Put me down for some sort of trouble. I'm psyched to meet some of my favorite Englishpeople.

23:50 / 07.01.04

I'm in for Karma and/or Brunch, Cafe Steinhog, whatever, wherever.
