Hm. The second part is proving challenging. Updates as things develop...

mr ray, you are welcome to stay. But we only have couch and floor space

It's a comfortable floor.

The Aristocrats?

Is there anyone going from NC or further south that can pick me up on the way there and drop me off on the way back? :D

Conga rats my good man Halx.

My attendance won't be happening, ladies and gents. Halx, I appreciate as always the offer of your floor--and there may well be a time in the future when I'll take you up on it. But my finances won't stand a flight to NYC at this moment.

today's the big day....??? will we get pictures of the "Happening"?

xoxoxoo

We had a great time, and I actually don't think any pictures were taken! We did get to hang with Cynthetiq, his wife Skogafoss, Crack and QuasiMondo, and of course, the lovely hosts. They have a beautiful apartment, cooked some AMAZING food and have a nice group of non-TFP friends, too! (Who knew?) We'll definitely be back again (especially because we left our cocktail shaker there). We missed all of you who couldn't be there...next time, no excuses! :)

I realized that there were no pictures taken. Skogafoss would approve!

It was great to meet 2 people that I have never met before, Quasimondo and Crack. I was glad to meet you both.

Halx, thank you for opening up your home. It is really nice.

We tried to take Crack back to his hotel overlooking Ground Zero, and the NYPD had blocked off the area for some reason. Crak thout that it was related to a fire earlier in the day. He was right. It was related to a fire in the Deutsche Bank building where 2 NYFD were killed. So a short trip that was to take just another 20 minutes took about 45 minutes to circle around and around only to drop him off near J&R Musicworld since that was where he could recognize and walk back to his hotel.

Huh. And we got home in about 30 minutes total! HA! Manhattan ain't all that, now is it? IS IT??!??!? Muahahahahahahahaaaa!!!

Ahem, sorry.

Yeah, it was a good night. Crack was a good sport even tho he blamed me for the disappearance of the wine (I did NOT drink it all myself!!). Skogafoss tried to claim she wasn't tipsy.... but her cheeks were damned rosy... hmmm... and Quasimondo was stuck listening to me wax poetic about my really awesomely friendly cats. The poor, poor man. They were both rather handsome examples of humans, too!

Halx and zkara were adorable in their color-coordinated outfits. No, I'm not kidding. It was SO CUTE! Y'all missed out on some *fine* burgers... stuffed with CHEESE. You FOOLS! HAHAHAHAHA, all mine, all mine! And shrimp cocktail, and pasta salad, and homemade guacamole...

You idgets. But I suppose there's always a next time... if you're lucky! :p

Thank you all for coming out. I said a few things in my journal but I also wanted to add that we're definitely looking forward to more. I'd like to invite some people over fairly regularly to have them taste my cooking. Who is up for it?

Well, Missed it, didnt check the general board in a while and well, oh well.
And Bushwick is real real close to where I live compared to the Bronx, That was a trek and a half.

I grew up in Bushwick.

Fun times for all, hope to meet again soon.

No pics? You all suck.

Thank you all for coming. It was a blast, and a real pleasure to have you all with us. I wanna do eeet againnnn!! :D
