It's pretty convenient working around Rockefeller Center. My office is basically around 3 PokeSpots.

Yeah, for once happy to work in midtown.
I got 3 in a row within like 2 mins on 34th between 8th and 9th
Pokemon Go outing? I keep reading about how the servers are getting hammered and something about a battery draining bug. Plus my phone is rooted so I dunno if it works on rooted phones since Miitomo definitely does not. I might give it a try on a whim to see what the buzz is about if it means it gets my lazy ass out of the house.
Oh, and the humidity was indeed bad. I'm dangerously close to cutting off my hair since humidity makes my hair super frizzy and it's tangled pretty bad in the back to the nape of neck. As soon as I went out yesterday it started to shower. Saw a bunch of raccoons and a stray cat at Highbridge Park.
Volunteering a shift at Whiskey Fried this Saturday. Signed up for the evening shift so if anyone plans on going, I'll be there. Thanks to Penguin again for sharing the event.

Dude what time did you leave the house to see crazy ass raccoons? Maybe they come out earlier than they did in long island?
Anyone going to the Come Out & Play After Dark @ Dumbo tonight?

I never been and I have the rare weekend off so I'm curious.

I saw the silhouette of one in the nearby Pokemon, but wasn't able to leave the office and look for it unfortunately.
took the day off from the office to spend the day w/ my wife
ended up spending my morning in my neighbor's apartment. he is an elderly man w/ Parkinsons and a family who doesn't give a shit about him... he had no A/C on and looked like he was in awful shape. helped him with his meds and let him stay in our apartment for a while to cool off.
stay safe out there folks and check in with your older ppl
You're good people.
I should provide some context: I went to meet up with a date around 6:30pm to go hit up Heights Tavern which is a pretty damn solid bar. We got to the park around 9PMish; the part of the park we were at was near the stairs that lead down to the High Bridge. Spotted a raccoon a few minutes later creeping around the trash can near the stairs. One dude tried to scare it away but raccoons just don't care and ignored the guy. My brother said that one was sniffing around him when he was around that area last Friday.
They're everywhere where there are wooded areas man! Saw them at Inwood Park last week; another one that ended up climbing up a tree at Central Park around the 59th and 5th part that same week at dusk. I saw a skunk crawling outside the perimeter of Fort Tryon Park near Dyckman and 200th last year. If you have food, raccoons will come in droves.
This sounds fun! I might just check it out since I don't have any plans for today. Makai lives in the area I think it would be right up his alley to check out.
You're doing the work of saints. That's damn good.

Spent all day waiting for Verizon to hook up my internet. Some idiot never put my service request in to install a phone line...
I'm volunteering at Whiskey Fried for the evening shift today from 5pm-10pm so if you guys are willing to come by the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area, I'll stick around afterwards to hang out. Anything but Barcade would be fine e.g. Radegast Beer Garden. The other thing that I could very well end up doing is crossing the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan if I'm not tired and/or hungry.
I downloaded Pokemon Go to see what the buzz is about. The fact that it uses GPS makes me fear for my phone's battery life. I haven't opened it yet but it sounds like I'm in for a treat and lots of sever issues. I haven't played a Pokemon game since Pearl which was the last one I bought so the idea of playing a F2P Pokemon game makes me wary.

I wanted to go to that, but it's like 90 bucks for a ticket
Hmmm Gotham City Lounge is a Pokemon Gym....

I could be down for something tonight, but I think my antisocialness would fuck up the vibe
I've actually never been since like other side of Brooklyn
But hey Pokemon Go is all about exploring!
And it's comic themed
Eh, most folks on GAF are pretty chill and will give you room if don't wanna talk... and can always drop your head in your phone to look for Pokemon!
It's really small, but a solid dive. One of those ironic hipster ones though. Cheapest place I've seen the ol' whiskey shot/PBR special and it's an actual tallboy PBR.
I'd be down for something too, but I have to work.
You used the socially awkward card at the last big meet up.
I'm in Williamsburg now. Will be free after 10PMish depending if there's breakdown to do afterwards. I'll be in the area. Always forget that there's tons of hipsters, tourists, and art.

Too bad I didn't check this thread earlier...I'm perfectly fine chilling playing games though.

Next weekend I'm out the country, but weekend after I'm good
I survived drinking more whiskey than I could ever imagine in one night let alone a year and ended up waking up at 6:45am to the tune of a bad headache. I rectified said headache with some aspirin and finally regained the strength to get out of bed. Have enough energy to go hit the gym.
Don't want to think about alcohol for several days since it'll only make my stomach turn but I'm down for something today. Ended up with too many bags of chips, ice cream, and the most questionable swag of them all...a red fire extinguisher for whatever reason may be.
Looking back on last night, the event was pretty damn solid overall. Slightly pretentious but Williamsburg being Williamsburg, it's everywhere.

what neighborhood is between turtle bay and the upper east side? Like between 54th and 59th? I'm trying to find like any community groups in that area but I have no idea what they'd call themselves. I guess its just midtown east but nobody really organizes around that designation

I should be free Saturday. I'm not a late night person though.
Lenox Hill I think.

That's further up in UES. The place I'm looking at is literally between 53rd and 54th. So I figure the turtle bay orgs would be the best since it ends at 53rd they might go one block farther

Laughably overrated
What fried chicken places do you like?
Not that I need more excuses to eat out. I'm trying to be healthy. ;-;
There's probably better KrFC to be had elsewhere, though I haven't bothered to search for it (I'd rather sample traditional Korean cuisine than fried chicken). Bonchon is also kind of overpriced.
The best fried chicken I've had in NYC is a dingy little muslim/arabic place in Jackson Heights near the Roosevelt Ave train station. I haven't had it in years and they must have closed down by now, but it was the best after-school snack.

Hahaha, I think that was Evo not WWE although Penguin sure does love Wrasslin so there's that. There a bunch of peeps I overhead talking all things Pokemon Go at alma mater yesterday while I was getting some work done. I live tweeted a few quotes. Something about Central Park getting flooded with folks now and parties to find certain pokemon.
That said I would be down but Pokemon Go is acting up on my phone.
Edit: Dat Asian bias up above.
