Er, anyone fancy a beer?

I have a week in residence at the Tribeca Grand, which could be fun.

Storm, I'd be up for it. Are you only here for a week?

If only I could join you...

Love the Fast Show Ted quote. It was shown recently on the 'Top 50 Best Comedy Sketches' C4 listing (and tonight from 8-12 it's the top 100 LPs!), and had me in stitches.

Im game.

Yay! Sign me up for one beer, please.

There's a possibility I may make this as well-- I'm coming down for Thurs-Sunday, but how much I'm out and about depends on some family stuff. Fingers crossed! The Friday Beacon show is a more remote possibility, sadly, but still a possibility.

Weeeeee....

I can't go to the show on Friday (waaaaaaah!!) but if there's a food-and-beers thing happening beforehand in that neighborhood I'd love to stop by with my son.

Shall we set something up? I don't know how many folks are going to the show....

Pip, MBA and I once met at the All-Star Cafe on 72nd between Broadway and West End, about 2 blocks from the Beacon. Nothing special but good enough, and not overcowded. There are, of course, about 50 other possibilities within a block of the Beacon (God I miss NYC) as well, so if someone has a preference, sing out.

Ideas? Updated roll call?

Man, I'd love to join you all, but my wife and I have early dinner plans at Cesca, a great Italian place on 75th and Amsterdam. We get out so rarely that we wanted to do something special.

Oh, poo. Though I'm sure you need and deserve the special date with your wife, don't get me wrong!

Well, suggestions still welcome. If not, perhaps Jack and I will be sitting on the curb outside the Beacon eating Sabrett hot dogs and knishes... say hi! Actaully I think we'll save the hot dog ritual for the Museum of Natural History...

Mug, you have got to try F&B hot dogs! They're the only hot dog place I know of that caters to its vegetarian brethren.

I am also skipping the concert, due to a lack of discretionary income and a good friend's birthday...sigh...

I also dont have a ticket, so its not looking very good for me either, and I am deeply, deeply bummed out about it. Tried to get a 7th row orch ticket that was listed on Craigslist today, but sadly, it was already gone ...

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 10:25 am

I saw that listing and thought of you, Pip!!

stormwarning · Post by **stormwarning** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 8:55 pm

Ms. Mug - do you mean the All State Cafe ? I'll be there before the show. What time will you get there ?

Mr. Sam - 75th & Amsterdam is only 3 blocks away ! Any chance of meeting up for an aperatif ? Or how about a beer another time, preferably when SMM is in town.

Miss BA/Pip - when is a good time for you ? I'm in NY for the next two weekends, but next week I expect to spend a couple of days out in Ewing, NJ (don't ask why...)

I haven't got a ticket either, but I'm going to see what the scalpers are charging.

I'm sorry I've not replied earlier, but it would be great if we could all meet up for a couple of drinks.

Hope to see you soon
-SW

That's going to be hard to do on Friday, but I am definitely up for it the next time SMM is in town.

Yes indeedy, that's it. I really have no specific plans, so could be there whenever-- is the show at 7? Do you wanna meet at 6? 5:30?

Pip, does that sound good to you (mebbe we could meet before that??)?

Gosh you guys are sweet to care when this moral relativist will be in town! It's sad to miss you, WSS but I'm sure we'll meet another time. Enjoy your night!

And here I was thinking you were an ethical egoist! Shit, Mug, this has gone and fucked up my equilibrium somethin' awful!

Yeah. I'll be done with work and in the midtown area at 5:00 ... so basically I can meet anytime starting then ...

I hope you two won't be all giggly when I get there....

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 3:01 pm

*snigger*

Well I can vouch for my son, who'll be very serious, but not for myself...

I'll be there 5:15 (first?). I'll be the only one there with a 6-yr-old boy.

See you there!!

PS, ElV, I am actually a hateful egoist. Hope that clears things up.

stormwarning · Post by **stormwarning** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 12:34 am

I'll be there a little later but a little worse for wear, because in the words of Pope Stephen himself: "By Friday Life kas killed me".

Just in case there's a 100 ladies there with 6 year old boys, how will I recognize you ?

pip_52 · Post by **pip_52** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 6:49 am

Ill be with her. Will you recognize me?

stormwarning · Post by **stormwarning** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 6:50 am

Of course...
