As Flyboy's official NY chaperone, I will be meeting up with him at JFK. We're taking the A line back to High street, which is two or three blocks from where he's staying...

I think Fly's PM thingy is screwed along with the rest of his profile... for some reason, when all the other 1000+ posters started losing their suits to a computer glitch, he got by with only having his profile permanently messed up or somesuch... Like Beyonce, he's a survivor.

13:49 / 21.03.02

I'll be there.

Uh... I mean..

I'm up for it.

14:09 / 21.03.02

I'm interested in getting together for what sounds like a cool NYC BarbeMeet

15:11 / 21.03.02

<enters>

ahem.

HOLY FUCK I WISH I WAS IN NEW YORK!

<exits>

15:41 / 21.03.02

Suds is up for a meet on the 31st. For real. – Flux

Me too...

17:55 / 21.03.02

I should be good for it.

18:37 / 21.03.02

If y'all going ot be in brooklyn a good place to chill / drink / hang is a place called halcyon.. i forget exactly where it is but it right between 2 sub stations i think in park slope.

coffee, beer, chill music, and comfy couches.

19:07 / 21.03.02

Halcyon's on Smith St, innit? On the F line between the Bergen & Carroll stations?

If Flyboy's staying in the Heights, a good pub is the Brazen Head over on Atlantic Avenue near Court.

Also on Hotlantic Avenue is major North African/Middle Eastern eating bliss...I have to check if Atlantic Nights Cafe is still around, they have belly dancers on weekends...and water pipes! ($5 for your choice of tobacco – apple is nice) Also, there is Sahadi's market, which gets crowded but is still

23:48 / 21.03.02

(waves hand)

I'm in. Might be able to provide lodging in Jersey for anyone who needs it.

17:04 / 22.03.02

I can probably provide lodging at my place.

And I got a stop motion video called "The Sex Life of a Robot"

17:43 / 22.03.02

dont want to be overly pushy, but do you have a date sorted out yet? Ill need to arrange a sitter and a place to stay....

18:43 / 22.03.02

Maaaaaaan, I'm so jealous of you, Flyboy, this all sounds very cool.

Do you have plans for a leaving party (or, indeed, comin back-from-NY-party), other than the Brighton thingwijig that I can't do?

Threadrot over, sorry NY people...

Ariadne, maybe you should consider stowing aboard Flyboy's luggage.

Bitchiekittie: I'm not sure exactly what plans are at the moment.

I can verify this much for Fly's itinerary-

March 31st daytime meet with me, Ierne and Suds (um, just the four of us...sorry...)

April 1st evening Gold Chains/Kid 606/Jamie Lidell gig

April 6th evening Walkmen gig

So............

I would think that if folks wanted to meet up on that weekend of the 6th/7th, that would work out pretty well. If you want to come along and see the Walkmen gig at The Knitting Factory, please do! They are fabulous, and the tickets are $10... I'm not sure whether or not the show will sell out. To get advance tickets, go here.

It seems like there's no shortage of things for Flyboy to do, and there will be a lot of things going on, but those are the only things that seem to be sure things.

19:19 / 22.03.02

We should plan a MOMA outing too, if Flyboy wants to do that...

I think a big meet on Friday or Saturday night would be phab...we should probably do it at a café, since some Barbe-peeps are under 21...

01:49 / 23.03.02

Bitchiekitty: You can stay over at my place.

Uhm... Let's have a place of operations so we don't have to drag our asses to different parts of the city each day.

12:27 / 23.03.02

Cool, another 'Lith gettogether I'll have to miss. *sigh*

Hey Floats, you and my brother ever gonna get down here to Baltimore/Annapolis/DC area?

Info about Halcyon...

I think this would be a nice play to meet up, but only in small groups, because the place isn't very big...

13:13 / 23.03.02

I'm up for meeting during the day or night, methinks. (I'm unemployed at present) ....depends on my schedule; if I have auditions during the day or such. But I'll keep reading this thread and come to what I can.

13:21 / 23.03.02

From Halcyon's website:

A Saturday afternoon "Record Party" will feature open turntables where anyone can sign up for a time slot.

bring tunes, Flux!

At the last shindig there were 6 Tri-State Area peeps: The Twins, MJ-12, Deb, Floats, and me. Flyboy, BK, Luther, HunterWolf, lolita and your good self make 11, and that's still not a lot of people, really.

So maybe Halcyon is a good place to meet up – and there are tons of restaurant choices if/when people get hungry later...

I'm a digital boy...I don't have any vinyl, and that's such a vinyl-centric shop...

not to mention folks from the loft where Fly and I are staying who'd want to come along, and other friends... and Straylight, who was interested in meeting up.

at the rate we're going, we should rent out the Lunatarium for an evening!

Don't trust Luther!

Anyway, it was his birthday yesterday (March 22), so ya'll give him 23 Birthday Punches from his sister when ya'll see him.

Yes, yes! Don't count me out. Though I have to admit to prior engagements on the evening of April 6th. What about a divey east village bar that Friday? Hrm? Hrm? Halcyon is all well and good but. Well. I don't know, too clean or something. No pinball and bad lighting, no jukebox full of bizarre selections of tunes. But the Boat, in that same area, is a good'un (though still lacking in pinball...) I'm just biased toward Manhattan, though (Sweetwater in Williamsburg excepted).

Also, if anyone's around and looking for yet more shows to go to, the Liars show at Brownies on the 30th should be really good - they're playing with Turing Machine and 90 Day Men, though I haven't actually heard either of those, and my ex's band, Coup Fourre, who I am admittedly all too curious to hear.

Point is: I've been quiet 'round here, but I'd love to meet up.

ahem...if people like thai and malaysian, i've heard that the waitstaff at river on amsterdam ave is just fantastic.

03:00 / 24.03.02

So when should we have a party at my house?

11:01 / 24.03.02

I'm totally down for drinking & pinball in Alphabet City, but we've got some under-21s in the crowd and others who don't really like alcohol. So the big meets are probably best in a café-type or all-ages lounge situation. Flyboy's around for a good week or so, however... :decadence:

lolita: Uptown is definitely a good idea too, especially as it's easier for the Queens/Bronx peeps (holler if you're out there!) to come out and party. Is that restaurant near a place called (I think)the Dive on Amsterdam? I'm vaguely remembering somewhere in the low 70's...

Lionheart seems to be opening up the Neo Yeti Circus over in Staten Is. for a shindig. If BK is staying over there, that could be a weekend plan...feedback?

Regrettable Juvenilia

17:02 / 24.03.02

It all sounds good to me. The Halcyon (like the look of their t-shirts), the need for sleazy pinball, the need to accomodate under-21s and temperates, the possibility of a party at Lion-O's place...

Ah, you've cheered me up and no mistake. T minus 6 days and counting.

yeah, it's between 76/77. but i was mostly suggesting it as a joke; i work there, and most likely will be working there whatever night you guys all get together. and i mean it's an okay restaurant, but if you're mostly based in DUMBO, i doubt it'd be worth the trip for any reason, really. thanks though, ierne, for the consideration.

All the more reason to go uptown and show some (im)moral support!

Bartending, cooking or waiting tables? What's the price range for food?

12:22 / 25.03.02

got news this weekend that fridgemagnet is coming on the 30th and will be here til the 6th. the 30th and 31st are out for us, unfortunately, but that friday (29th) would be perfect as Ill have off that day. I can take anyone who is kinda on my way. and I personally am up for going anywhere that everyone else wants to go

Matthew Fluxington

12:26 / 25.03.02

Um, but Flyboy won't be here til the 30th, at night...

13:01 / 25.03.02

poop.

18:59 / 25.03.02

shit, I got my weeks all screwed up didnt I?

friday the 5th would probably be lovely for both fridgemagnet and I, if anyone else can make it!

waiting tables. the food is expensive. and if you guys come, i promise to be so nervous i will drop everything on the floor.

[stand-up comedian voice] i dropped a mai-tai on a customer once.....
