Discussion about
Hi all, Head count for the SE get-together? Wednesday May 12, 7ish, at XR Bar, 128 West Houston St (NE corner of Sullivan &) Reasonably quiet, uncrowded, unpretentious. No food, but they're good about letting you bring/order in, and even provide various local menus. See http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/18956-may-2010-se-mixer?page=1 for earlier, very rambling discussion. Who's in?

I'm going to try. Wouldn't want to see you there alone, stuck in a side car duel with dreamer.

glamma, no need to wait until the stomach has started producing excess acid. XR has arturo's menu at the bar. easy enough to dispatch a couple of people to pick up some pizza.

I would love to be there because I would love to get a little dish on the troll incident. I have a little dish of my own on that subject. But, alas, I will be in LA. Have fun and please take notes.

I shall be in attendance. Looking forward to seeing the familiar faces again and meeting the new ones. Place is pleasant, conducive to conversation and the pizza next door is yummy. Plus I can't wait to try my first side car...oh the anticipation of virginity soon to be lost.

I have a REALLY long list of things to do today, but if I get through 'em (or enough of 'em to constitute a good college try) I'll be there.

Awesome evnyc. Personally I'm sitting here in back pain hell with a big decision on my hands. Yes, I'm still planning on attending but here's my dilemma: Gut it out and avail myself to the promised, sidecar experience or take a vicodin and limit myself to seltzer. I know there are those who would answer "c all of the above" but I'm not interested in being the first person to leave an SE mixed in an ambulance.

evnyc, I'm glad we hooked you in by spamming other threads!

liz, we'll cause you pain that'll make you forget your back. [Have you tried that acupuncture school clinic at Bway & 22nd or so? ... not free, but cheap cheap sliding scale. It's like yoga without the work.]

Liz, come now - you know the answer is always "c." I'll catch you if you fall off the bar stool.

alan, I've been scarce on the boards lately for reasons I shall divulge this evening, but I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone!

I got the short straw, so I got to leave with the Grand Prize.

This venue was really great for our purposes -- the best of the five we've tried so far.

Yea yea yea Great Job Alan. Actually, the award should go to Mrs. Nada. She kept Nada in line and saved him from making a fool of himself like last time.

I thought I was feeling better when I woke up this morning. (God what a novel concept, feeling better the morning after a party) but now I'm back in painsville. Decided to try another pharma approach which if mixed with vicodin could result in a Heath Ledger cocktail. Hope for some success....

It was great to see everyone (except Matt, I'm really sorry you didn't make it as I was particularly interested in meeting you in person). Lobster glad you showed up! Did anything "interesting" happen after my premature exit?

Thanks, Liz.

As usual, I overscheduled myself for the evening. I was planning on just doing a quick hello-and-goodbye at an event near Grand Central Terminal, but it turned into something much more involved than I'd planned. By the time I got out, it was already after 9:30 PM.

I missed Sra. Nada? D*mn.

As predicted, the tidal wave of work swamped me (I've got three active offers going, plus a meeting with my "book shrink" on Friday) but I promise with 95% certainty to hit the next one.

It was very nice meeting everyone at the meet-up. As I told evnyc, I have to change my SE name from lobster to some variation of my real name (Michelle) because I can't introduce myself to one more person as lobster. :) Liz, I was really glad to finally meet you and, NYCDreamer, I will buy you a drink at the next meet-up.
