Ok people, it's time for another gigantic TFP meet-up. I elect New York City! I also elect my new apartment as the party central.

When: Saturday, August 18th.
Where: Bushwick, Brooklyn
Who: All you people.
What: PARTY!!!

Here's the deal, we have a nice big space with plenty of room for everyone. I want all of my TFP friends to come and hang out. This is an opportunity to come and meet your fellow TFPers and to just have a good time. Seriously, these things are always fun and they make lasting memories. We'll also be joined by some non-TFP "normal" people. OOooooo.

I wanna see some Canadians. I wanna see some midwesterners. I wanna see some southerners. Bonus points if you come from Europe.

This will also double as a housewarming party, so feel free to bring something to benefit the fledgeling liquor collection.

Also making a special appearance: The infamous bottle of Grey Goose! Signed by all the TFPers who have come in contact with it, its legend is awe-inspiring. Hank, you're not going to steal it this time.

I think I was supposed to sign it, as I was the one who bought it.

I'm so sad - this will probably be the first NYC meetup that I'll have to miss.

actually I love my sister, but still... now that ubertuber is in LA, he should be inspired by all the meetups here to get them going over there more often too!

I can't make it, but I'll be there (two kids in tow) in September for 10 days. If anyone wants to meet up over a hot dog in the Park, let me know.

Oh, I hear that...

Perhaps we West Coasters need to get together and pick a central location to convene upon for our own sake? Like Las Vegas? :P I mean, I'm going there in September to celebrate my graduation anyways...

Wouldn't that rock your world if Grancey and I showed up that night?

"Honey, the Southerners are here..."

The whole party would freeze like in one of those old Westerns. "I don't know dear, they SEEM ok, but we don't have anything fried to eat..."

At this time, it's not out of the question.

I'll come if someone can meet me somewhere are let me follow them to Hal's House. I am scared to drive around NY by my lonesome... Plus, Ohio is a looooooong way away... Maybe i'll fly.

and instead of going to Grand Central it may be easier to go to Brooklyn LIRR Atlantic Ave.

MSD

My friend's GPS unit took us to Brooklyn, then the Bronx, then Staten Island, then New Jersey when trying to get to a venue across the street from Madison Square Garden in Manhattan coming from CT. That brought back the angry memories of the last drive into the city when I swore never to drive there again after my third trip across the Triborough bridge trying to get back to CT from lower Manhattan.

Halx

I would kill to have crack and MSD at my party!

The Q and I will be attending. Of course, I don't have your fucking address, but whatever. You're in the GPS as a "point of interest", right?

Red, be in town!
MSD, just take the train. No driving. Driving sucks. Screw driving.
Crack, I am impressed!

Looking forward to seeing y'all!

This will work out even better than expected. My sister lives in Bushwick and I'm going to be spending the weekend helping her get one of her apartments ready for tenants. Hopefully it'll be within staggering distance.

ratbastid

Geez... At Jess's prompting, I just checked flights. And I could get up there for $180, round-trip. I'd need a place to crash (Hotel JustQuad is booked). I'd need my wife and girlfriend to agree. I can probably handle the second part, if somebody can handle the first.

didnt Halx used to live in the El-Lay area?
