Fellow Barbelithers and monkeys and others...

Let's meet up.

In New York!

Sometime soon!
Somewhere close!

13:58 / 05.11.02

All right then. I'm going to be in the big city over New Year, from the 28th Dec till 3rd Jan to be precise. I take up the gauntlet you have thrown down and challenge you to recommend a bar!

16:07 / 05.11.02

We gots all kinda bars. You'll have to be more specific.

16:35 / 05.11.02

I currently dont have a functioning vehicle, so Im out, unless you make it a few weeks/months in the future

20:03 / 05.11.02

Well, I can meet up anytime before the 9th. Know any good clubs we could go to this Saturday? Might be fun.

20:04 / 05.11.02

The 10th I mean.

00:25 / 08.11.02

I may be cajoled into attending something NYC-based. Where are all the supposedly slick motherfuckers hanging this week?

03:23 / 08.11.02

Don't forget that people under 21 aren't allowed into bars. And fake ids cost too much.

My birthday's on November 30th. So, maybe we could plan around that.

04:27 / 08.11.02

Awright. Let's get a muster of attendees, then shoot dates and venues at each other. I'm down for some Yuletide wreckage myself.

NY clubs have been sucking for ten years now, by the way. Expensive to be at and no good drugs anywhere.

11:52 / 08.11.02

I'd be up for meeting up with Whiskey Priestess circa New Year's. MJ-12, Ierne, you up for this too?

17:38 / 17.11.02

So what's the plan?

23:12 / 17.11.02

this will take place next Saturday night.

00:08 / 18.11.02

** THIS IS A NO CAMERA EVENT**

...$10 Black Rock Attire
$15 Street Wear

I'm sorry, but the first thing that came to mind was "wankers" and the second thing was "no thanks". What on earth is the justification for this?

New York in general, though, I'm up for that. I can join the boozy business travellers on the Amtrak.

11:59 / 19.11.02

sigh. Not to kill the joy and be an elitist fogey before my time, but I remember when New York's avauntistes were, like, avaunt; when the subways were a buck and the K-lub K-ids were psychopaths who'd shoot a man at Motherfucker just to watch him die. [Walt Whitman]Where is the New York that scared Johnny Rotten but Iggy and Lou loved? Where are the headless corpses of Staten Island? Where are the coatsleave machetes of my youth? [/Walt Whitman] If you ask me, the scene never recovered after Peter Gatien was carted off by the federales. You kids wouldn't understand. Your nightlife is owned by Disneyesque profiteers. I bet they pay their taxes and everything.

No offense, Ria.

15:07 / 19.11.02

I can join the boozy business travellers on the Amtrak

anything to ride the party train

16:47 / 19.11.02

They do a big conga down the carriage, you know, and there's streamers and music and hats. It's great.

02:17 / 22.11.02

Yeah, so..uh..you all better come up with something soon cause my birthday's coming up on the 30th and stuff....

17:24 / 22.11.02

I'd be up for a gathering sometime, all -- just wanted to let you know that I'm going to that Decompression/Burning Man in NYC thingie that someone linked on this thread. I've never been to Burning Man but heard a lot about it, and several friends who are Burning Man vets are going and invited me. So will I see any of you 'Lithers there?

XXII:X:II = XXX

04:30 / 25.11.02

If I'd read this thread again by last night I might've gone, but them's the breaks. Next time November 23, 2002 comes around.

Any other events of note happening within the next few weeks to converge upon? Something a bit edgy that tourists will either not know about or will make sure they're far, far away from? Something glamorous but not likely to end up in "La Dolce Musto" (at least not until we cast our glamor on the room)? Something you'll blink your eyes repeatedly at to make sure you're seeing it correctly, and then still not be sure you've not taken leave of your senses?

Anyone?

04:31 / 25.11.02

*wakes up*

Huh? What?....

Oh...

Uhmm....hmm.....

How about....

the 6th of December? Who's up for it?

And my birthday's on November 30th.

So...stuff.

21:34 / 30.11.02

Um, happy barbelirthday, Lionheart. To celebrate your nativity, I had a lovely mushroom trip today. Yum. Saw behind reality and everything.

If you get this Saturday night shout back if you've found anything to get the nasty taste of commercialism out of my mouth. Hung out near Macy's for a little while, looking like a poor man's Guy Debord, and watched the parade of insanity go by. Watched tourists have their pictures taken with babyfaced policemen while riot vans pulled up in front of Victoria's Secret, at which point I knew it was time to get the fuck out of Herald Square. Unfuckingbelievable. I'm still unsure whether I'd recommend the experience to anyone. The energy was intense. I psychically scarred a quarter in my pocket. Definitely my most illuminating trip yet.

BTW, as someone of the tribe (albeit lapsed) I'm a bit out of sort that the Empire State Building was only white and blue yesterday evening, and now it's green and red. It's still fucking Hannukkah, cocksuckers! EIGHT nights, dig? Learn to share!

Eh, fuck it, we own all the banks.

17:20 / 01.12.02

hello all. Um, long time no see and all that...

There's a strong likelihood that I will be in NYC from Jan 2nd for a few days. Not sure how many because it depends on what my acommodation and flight situation is going to be like. I'm planning on arriving from Boston, staying with a friend for a couple of nights and probably sticking around until sometime around 8-10th of January, if I can get somewhere else to stay for a couple of those nights...

Would love to see some of you. Haven't seen Whisky P, or Enamon for ages. and some of you others not at all (in fact, not even on here, since I haven't visited these parts for a while) Anyway, I was just popping in to mention something about it when I saw this thread, and confluence is good.

My friend is probably arranging a bar for a get-together, will let you know details when I have them.

23:42 / 01.12.02

I'd be up for an NYC meet after new year, but I need to know soonish so that I can book holiday time... what about Friday, the 3rd?

11:59 / 02.12.02

I will pencil in Friday the 3rd on my calendar. It's a nice calendar.

14:55 / 02.12.02

Friday, Jan 3! Let's do it. Venues?

16:10 / 02.12.02

I could probably make it on saturday, if I took a train, for any stragglers that may still be left in NY then

16:18 / 02.12.02

Thinking about it, I agree it might be better to do it on the Saturday. Some people may not be able to take Friday off.

Yotsuba & Benjamin!

17:37 / 02.12.02

Shirt. The one day I'm scheduled to spend all day in surgeery.

18:41 / 02.12.02

I might be able to make it. Hmm... That day is the 2600 meeting although there is a party right after that where we can all gather and admire the view from the chill laden roof. As for Saturday... I might be able to make it too. It all depends on how long it will take to get my testicles laminated.

17:58 / 11.12.02

Ok, so we're up for the 3rd?

09:14 / 12.12.02

postibly. Post details here and I'll try to make it along.

10:29 / 12.12.02

I am in New York just before and after New Years if anyones up for meeting up

14:41 / 12.12.02

fridge and I have very briefly brought up the idea of NYE in NY. if we do that, I for one wont make it to the 3rd, but wed both love to meet up with whoever was willing during.

17:38 / 12.12.02

I'm not sure yet but I might be on the radio on the 1st.
So i'm up for anytime really.

12:28 / 14.12.02

As said before, am in New York from Jan 2nd. Probably until the 7th. The only thing so far I have planned (though I'm not sure which day) is a trip to Coney Island. My time is mostly gonna be tied down with the peeps I'm staying with and stuff, though.
