Hello Monday. Any plans for the weekly IRL meeting? I think last week was a pretty big success. Bring your own Bereket seemed to work well. But there was some talk (I think maybe I started it) of going to Grand Szechun International (hereafter: GSI.) Anybody ready to think about this yet? I know it's only Monday, but you can't start planning for the weekend too soon (and yes, I realize that by counting Thursday as the weekend I might be pushing it.)
Mmmmmm... sea cucumber.
Sounds good to me.
i will hopefully go on 4/19--eat the eel it much uglier
Are we meeting at that place on Ludlow? I forgot the name....you know, the one modeled after an Irish pub...
O.K., we're at six people. Indeed tonight, Thrusday March 29, is the date. Fun starts around 5:30 at The Local (either 137 or 139 - I'll remember this one of these weeks - Ludlow Street between Stanton and Rivington) and then moves on to Grand Szechun International on 9th Avenue between 50 and 51.
The exact time for dinner has yet to be established. Suggestions? Conflicts? If you want to meet up at the restaurant your best bet is probably to check in with us on the cell phone. If you don't have my cell number email me.
The other question open for feedback is about drinks. Obviously those that start at the Local will already be on the beer wagon. Should we just stay with beer? Or if we want to drink wine I'll be happy to pick up a few bottles. Maybe people could commit to $10/head or something like that if we want the vino. Any preferences out there?
That sounds *more* than fair Jim. Beer prior and Wine w/ diner is my choice. May be we should try to get into a sched (or rut) of sorts wherein me and aw are going to get there by 5:30 no matter what and diner (where ever) would be @ 7 or 7:30 on a (semi) regular basis ? I'm partial to thursdays but what ever..... (suggestion subject to popular disapproval)
I agree with Bill, though I might be better off sticking to one or the other (What's the old saying... "wine after beer is something to fear"?). Didn't we catch TM drinking well wine at Local? You'd think we could show him a better time. Maybe we should be on the lookout for a meeting spot with more choices. Haven't a lot of wine bars opened up in that trendy neighborhood of yours yet?

In.

I deleted my post about the sea cucumber biology. I forgot you were talking about them as food.

No, no! We support free speech! (ok, we support self censorship too. The Supreme Court has ruled that silence is a form of speech.)

That might not be a bad idea. For the early starters at least. We can't really go to GSI at 5:30. Others could join us there later. I guess just make any time preferences known.

not going to be able to make it yet again this week, but hoping i'll see some of you at steve's opening saturday and/or the continental show on sunday.

The Local works well enough as a meeting spot for me (and Bill, I think). Straight from work, we will get there around 5:30. After a full workday I prefer to eat sooner rather than later, but I wouldn't want to cut down on anybody's drinking time. We're talking about GSI midtown, right? Do we need/have a rez?

Probably we should have a reservation. I'll make one, but for how many? By my count we're looking at a slow week: Alex, Bill, Steve, me and I'm bringing my friend Sarah (well, maybe she's your friend too.) That's 5. Anyone else? I'll wait until later in the afternoon to call, and even then we could always squeeze one more in at the last minute.
And you early scouts better not delay getting to the local. We're expecting a snug this week.

I'm good with the regular schedule as per AW. What about Tom ?
- bill 3-29-2001 7:37 pm [add a comment]
Please count me in for drinks and dinner. I assume we're talking about meeting today, Thursday, March 29?
