So let's do it!
Every time people talk about the holidays with dread I feel like I live in a bizarro world. I love my family, don't have any real disagreements with any of them, and I couldn't care less if I run into old schoolmates.
Then again it's not like people need much prompting to find an excuse to drink during the week.

I feel like I've been living under a rock. First time I've ever heard about this.

"What the fuck is a family?" Is pretty much my narrative for the last half of this year. I work my seasonal job of working the santa or rockette stations at RCMH and I'll go home to nothing,
If Black Friday deals don't kill my wallet, then maybe I'll come out and play on Saturday. I'm trying to save money. The only thing I'm looking to snag is that $100 New 3DS even though I would prefer an XL for my giant hands and a 64GB or 128GB micro SD. Anything else I'll play by ear.
I'm out running errands with the 'rent in the nabe. South Beach restaurant is giving away free turkeys all day with the catch being that one has to line up outside. My mom managed to get one and wants me to line up for another one. =/

I feel like I keep letting you down with these improtu drinking meet-ups!
Which part of town are you in so I can plan next one even if just two of us

It's hard to have a holiday with the family when you don't exist to your family so it's just whatever. Haven't dated since fucking July, which was a shitty ass date anyway. So it's just me, myself and I for most of Thanksgiving and then I work a few hours at me seasonal job and come back to nothing.
My Thanksgiving so far has been composed of seeing my old man who I haven't seen in over a year and running a few errands. I'm going to reconnect with my father and shoot him a text since my brother gave me his number. The situation at Standing Rock is on my mind.
I'm currently taking the bus up to Target try to get a New 3DS. Wish me luck.
I like to think that I have multiple families; my immediate family related by blood; my con family; my GAF family. It's all connected by common interests in the end of the day.

Which Target?
River Plaza in The Bronx by the 1 train. I think everyone here is after a New 3DS including the dude in front of me so I'm expecting to come out empty handed. There's at least roughly 40 people ahead of me with kids to boot.
A few peeps are down for tomorrow. I drank way too much wine last night and woke up with a headache today that's since been dealt with. I might still be game for tomorrow provided that Black Friday doesn't kill my finances for the month. So far, so good today on not but it might change in a few hours. *knocks on wood*
I think we should do one last board game meetup in December. I had a blast playing Spyfall at Gaymer X East with some peeps a few weeks ago. That game was fun!
Cheap ish beer
Grilled cheese
Large cafeteria like tables
Sounds like a plan
This sounds amazing, let's do it.
Union Square station:
Dunno what this is exactly but I walked past this wall tonight and it was filled with encouraging messages in the wake of Trump's win. One of those times I'm glad to live in NYC where I'm near sane people.

I saw that also yesterday, interesting concept
Oh Mr. Bop as if these improtu things aren't anything more than winging it!
I was thinking of DUMBO, but guess last two times we did meet-ups were in Brooklyn.

Long time to keep a buzz going
ETA?
I'm in Jersey visiting my middle brother and the nieces. My father is determined to drink everyone me and my oldest bro under the table with his ultra high alcohol tolerance; drinking Dewar's whiskey with ginger ale but very slowly. I'm trying not to get drunk since I don't want to get a headache. I've been doing a good job so far. Watching the bro play Street Fighter V while I sketch him.
My mom is also here and it's very awkward; they have a frigid relationship since I was raised by her. My mom cleared the elephant in the room with him. My late grandfather would be happy to know that everything is cool. /family rant
The A train isn't running to my way. I'll try to make it depending on when I get back to Manhattan. I took a few pics of the old man.
