NYC meetup: Aug 27, 30

[DiaShel]

I'll be there. Maybe a tiny bit late.

[bradders]

considers spending the deposit money for flat on return flights to JFK, ponders for a while then rejects grudgingly. Why doesn't the Eurostar go there yet!?!?!?

[Anastazee]

sat - brunch at sacred chow (between W. 3rd and Bleecker) at what time? They open up at 11am, so go early to avoid the rush? [NB: This is my birthday. Anyone not enjoying hilarity to its full potential shall be challenged to a duel.]

PERFECT!

I might be quitting my job today! if that's the case, count me in for Thursday nights festivities as well!!! wish me luck

[RubyDuby]

yay! There's actually going to be a meetup. I'm so excited!

(sorry about the job issues though :/)

[Anastazee]

she didnt fire me

[RubyDuby]

but that's good, right?

[RubyDuby]

It's getting close...

I'm getting excited!

[DiaShel]

Me too! I'm going to meet you guys, yay!

[bryzee86]

Hey folks,

we're about to board our plane, so we'll see you tomorrow at 5.30pm at Lula's!

(I'll be wearing a black and grey airwalk cap and blue/red plaid shirt, jus so you can find me)

[DiaShel]

Just so everyone knows, I'm coming right from work and may be a tad late (due to parking).

[RubyDuby]

Lula's is so good! I went there today and got a brownie sundae :smile:

are you meeting us at lula's tomorrow too?

[terem]

I may be able to make Lula's today, that depends on entirely how long my college stuff takes to sort out.

[timberly]

are you meeting us at lula's tomorrow too?

I sure am!

Whew, I almost missed this post because my internet hasn't been working. I'm so glad someone in a surrounding apartment didn't put a password on their wifi

I'm looking forward to meeting you guys (and eating ice cream)

[ellaminnowpea]

Arghhhh... 4 hours away I'd sooooo come if I knew ahead of time and could find a friend to stay with in NYC area.

There are actually vegan restaurants up there! I'm jealous! Have a good time, though!

Happy birthday, Bry. And happy anniversary, Bry and Jo!

[RubyDuby]

inside Sacred Chow:

their [sweet but wait-skill inept] accountant was going to try to take our order, since there was no wait staff, so Anastazee helped out and took our orders instead:







Double Chocolate Stout with a Scoop of vanilla ice cream:




It was Bryzee's bday. I think it was Anastazee who sent the waitress to bring him out the candle-topped dessert... Here he is forgetting to make a wish.

[RubyDuby]

The lovely Joeybee... I don't believe she's flipping me off in this pic, but I could be wrong.

[DiaShel]

Great pictures! Thanks for not posting any of the horrible ones you took of me! It was soo great meeting you guys!

[RubyDuby]

I wouldn't do that. There were too many good ones to pick.

It was awesome finally meeting you too! Glad I got to before you flee the city.

[Anastazee]

Awesome pics! Thanks so much for posting them. I take it you two are home?? It was a pleasure to meet you! It was a really good time, I still feel guilty about the the waitress, but i DID take the order! Hope you guys make it to NYC again sometime in the future! Bryzee, HAPPY BIRTHDAY again and to the two of you Happy Anniversary, get back to London safely. Diashel, Climb on...

[Anastazee]

P.S. I do look cracked out in these photographs

[matt35mm]

Aw. This reminds me of a year ago when a bunch of the Londoners (including Bryzee and Joeybee) greeted me warmly upon my arrival.

I'm also reminded that in about a month's time, I will be in NYC wit' y'all!

We treat each other good-like and that's, like, good.

[RubyDuby]

Your life right now is amazing to me Matt. I hope we can make it back in a month!

It was great to meet you too! You're a trip I don't feel too bad about the waitress (but I don't live closeby either)... I'm pretty sure she had given up on us before she walked in the door. I hope it was her fault though!

[BlackCats]

^ It looks like you all had a fab time!!!

[Gwydion]

Mmmm, sexy vegans!

[timberly]

We should have more meet ups like this one.
Everyone come to Manhattan, okay?

[matt35mm]

Okay.

[Marrers]

I'm in!

So good to see other meet ups happening. We shouldn't have all the fun in England!

[bradders]

yes we should, people should be forced to pay to come to London for everything, or to fly every one of us out to wherever and back again

[DiaShel]

^ When I win mega millions that's the first thing I'll do. I guess I should actually play then...
