It's 3:10 AM, and I'm eating bone marrow with oxtail marmalade at Blue Ribbon. Still completely packed here. <3 NYC.

P.S. No more alcohol please.
P.P.S. Foie gras terrine? A dozen raw scallops? Sweetbreads? This menu is going to kill me.

Still more is going on. The titty bar failed now I am waiting for the ferry.

 

[Cyan]

Hmm. I'm noticing that there's a common thread for successful GAF meetups.

So H.Pro, wanna fly out to SF for our meetup on Thurs?

 

[EviLore]

Wait wait I thought this was my job, what the hell's hpro doing there?! Haha

Man, 3:35 AM seems like a perfect time for fresh sea urchin roe. Help, someone stop me.

I am missing out but I wanna go home. Saturday will be nice.

 

[EviLore]

Another meetup on the 18th? I actually needed to fly back to NY for a while to help with some family matters again (these coop board idiots just rejected my mom's application on specious grounds after I got it all set up last month...), but it turns out I'm still in LA right now (cancelled my flight for...various reasons ;b ), hrm, we'll have to see what my schedule's like, might be in town during this.

 

[H.Protagonist]

Still in LA???? Get your ass to NY. I'm here 'til midday the 16th, but you might make the 18th meet up. Just got back 'home' 'tonight' at ~3:30AM. That just about ties the LA meet up!

 

[Jhoan]

EvilLore, you might make it? We're reserving a special seat for you. That would so cool. I hope you're not exhausted from meeting people.

I'm getting home right now. Was dozing off in the train. Shout out to everyone that came out. I'm getting something to eat, brush up and hitting the hay.

Yes ma'am, just spare me the combat umbrella ma'am ;b

You had your chance.

So we're going to cross paths....


niccceeeeee.

???, can't take it that he picked LA GAF to visit first?

 

[jasonng]

You have to dip yourself in the shallow end first before you swim.

If a duck quacks in a forest and no one is around to hear it, is it still inherently hilarious?

Spoiler

what the hell are you talking about?

Jason's had one too many drinks. My dear friend needs to rest for a while and sober up.

How the hell are you eating bone marrow at 4 am?! We left you on the damn F train! Evil tempter!!! (You shall survive, however, for that delightful tequila experience. Most pleasant.)

Thurs, huh..? Very tempting. My sister (who I partially flew out here for) would be very angry with me, though. Any other time I'd love to. SF has great beerage!

Yes ma'am, just spare me the combat umbrella ma'am ;b

Nevah! It serves me too well. I won't make the 18th meet up (the 13th was a lovely plot of jason's for me to meet some NY peeps), but I can vouch for most of the NY gaffers as being mostly sane. Mostly. Come to, ah, CT? There are...cow pastures... and mushroom farms... We have...beer? ;_;

 

[smokeymicpot]

That was awkward train ride home some dude was hitting on me or some shit.

All part of a New York night, bro. I had breakdancers and candy sellers on my trains when I came and left.

I know it is part of New York but not on the Staten Island Train system plus it was a really old guy shit was just strange.

Yeah I gathered that you wouldn't be around for the 18th. NYC GAF neglected to take me up on the meetup offer when I was there last month, but I won't hold it against them! Maybe! Bartenders and restaurant owners city wide will be lamenting the absence of the girl with the fairy tapewormmother, though ;b

Oh, CT? Yeah, I actually moved to Austin from CT. So benign and pleasant and horribly uninteresting to live in, needed to move on to city life.

Is it...dark beer?? ;b

You better fucking show up.

I'm really excited for this weekend. Been to long since I've hung out with other Gaffers.

Saturday has a lot to live up to, Monday was phenomenal.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu, I should've bailed on HP. I was ready to blow my savings last night.

 

[bob page]

Glad last night was a success, see you all this weekend!

 

[Alucrid]

On one hand I could get drunk with Jason and Jon bones, on the other fucking work...

 

[The Last Wizard]

Where did the first group leave to last night? and does Tequilaria even exist?

Mayahuel

Mother's Ruin

Another group went off to a different bar before meeting back up at Mother's Ruin.

 

[jon bones]

that was a pretty awesome night, great to put some faces to names!

 

[captmcblack]

Seemed like it was a great night last night...guess I'm gonna have to go hardbody on Saturday to make sure it's better than what I missed.

I hope the turnout's great this weekend!

You only need one hand to hold a beer.

Please stop pretending you werent flattered.

 

[Fantasmo]

I'd love to join you guys but I'm in central NJ. Between the train and drive it soaks up half the time and energy :-/

Don't be a bitch. I'm going from Princeton Junction.

 

[Tashi]

Yo I just woke up. Just now

 

[H.Protagonist]

Yo I just woke up. Just now

I beat you by 20 mins. Don't feel totally shattered. You?

EDIT: I woke up humming this song. Seemed appropriate given the amount of alcohol.

Still Alive ^_- (oh, Portal...)

 

[aorange999]

Good night out there, great to see NYC GAF can put together a Monday night that outclasses most other cities Saturday night!

 

[RawPower]

Indeed. Last night was incredible, but I could be biased there.

 

[jasonng]

I just saw the texts sent to me last night. I love you guys.

[Tashi]

Ehhh I don't feel so great. My nose is stuffed, got a little headache and my neck is killing me. Slept on my cousin's floor. :/

So now that I'm sober I figured I would give my thoughts on last night. Btw just so everyone knows I was the big and tall obnoxiously loud guy. Anywho, last night was a blast. I had so much fun man. Props to Jason for picking that bar, nice place. Raul at the bar was cool as hell. Everyone seemed like they were in a good mood, having fun, getting drunk. Made for a good atmosphere.

It was also fun walking around with the group goin in and out of like 6 different places to just piss hahaha. In case you were wondering where my cousin and I disappeared to....we spotted a McDonalds and go hungry. We were completely split from then on in. Food was good lol, much needed. Then we went waiting for the M train but it never came. We waited for almost an hour. Very boring and sobering lol. Then we said fuck it and took a cab back to LaGuardia college. Then we started climbing some scaffolding. Lol that was fun. Then we got picked up, ate some more and I fell knocked out hahaha.

I'm not sure if I'll make it out on Saturday but thanks for all the good times.

Also any GAF posts, texts or calls I made were done completely trashed and let's just hope I didn't say anything too dumb.

KC wheres that stream vid? Lol

 

[jon bones]

yea, i'm still pretty hung over. hope i shake it off by tonight.

woof.

EDIT: oh god, the video. can i request that it never be posted online? i'd rather not have it out around the internets.

 

[RawPower]

I'm sort of upset that I missed the bar. Alas, I was tired and needed to head back to my lair. I hope we do this again sometime.

 

[smokeymicpot]

That was a fun night. Not hungover but really hungry. Hopefully I will do this again Saturday. Everyone was awesome.

 

[jasonng]

Pfffft Chasing Amy.

Oh, CT? Yeah, I actually moved to Austin from CT. So benign and pleasant and horribly uninteresting to live in, needed to move on to city life.

Is it...dark beer?? ;b

Yeah. I have to split the vacation between my CT and NY family. My sister is on the CT side and already pissed that I'm here longer than I will be visiting her. What can I say, though? As you well know NY > CT by leagues. And I'm sure the food purveyors of this fine city will miss my relentless appetite/tapeworm. (I checked this morn and I lost a pound somewhere between the burgers, beer and tequila. ^_-)

As for the dark beer, CT does have a few good places on offer. They've got to have something to make it tolerable, right? Where in CT were you before Austin?

Saturday has a lot to live up to, Monday was phenomenal.



Fuuuuuuuuuuuu, I should've bailed on HP. I was ready to blow my savings last night.

Pffffffft. Please. You wouldn't have made it anywhere but a nice warm alley to pass out in had you not taken the train with me.

Good night out there, great to see NYC GAF can put together a Monday night that outclasses most other cities Saturday night!

Cheers to you too, Aorange! Awesome last bar and cocktail. You know good places. After meeting you and Nex I'm super keen to have a 'fancy' gaf dinner night now. Per Se or somewhere else that serves roasted marrow emulsion on tiny plates. ^_^

 

[Kccitystar]

I still don't know exactly who was there by name, I just know a lot of gaffers were there. I'm going to try and bring nametags so everybody knows who is who, like the LA meet

 

[Angry Fork]

How many people went to the Monday meet?

 

[Jhoan]

Hot off the presses (phone camera pics suck):
The birthday boy:

Close up of his treat:

Crappy bar pics at Third & Long
H.Pro looks at the camera, while Jon_bones and several other Gaffers look on:

The name of the game in this place was beer and shots. GAF live:

Apparently, drinking beers game me an unstable hand hence the blurry pics. Number47 is to the right, Jon_bones, et al chat on:

More beer drinking. These Gaffers need no introduction:

I know jon_bones is gonna kill me for posting this picture since everyone was bathed in a white light, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. At the Falafel joint on 8th and 3rd ($2.50 is pretty good):

Note: I appear in a few pics. My cheesy smile when H.Pro holds up the receipt, and in a group pic that jon_bones had the dude who works at the Falafel joint take after making fun of my flashless phone (Samsung Galaxy Prevail).At Saturday's meet up, point and shoot cameras/DSLR cameras are a must to post some high resolution pics. At jon_bones' request, the video shall not be made public.

 

[jon bones]

me: "not a bad felafel at all"

edit: i look like a disheveled mess in that picture.
