NYC Saturday April 14 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JustJess · 03-26-2007, 10:51 AM

We already have about 8-9 people confirmed for a lovely TFP day on Saturday April 14. What I'm looking for here is... who else is in? And what do y'all want to do? I can do a house party or a bar party or a something else party, just direct me as to what you'd prefer, and I'll do the planning.

Bring it!

ubertuber · 03-26-2007, 11:49 AM

Ummm... Let's have BBQ.

And booze.

amonkie · 03-26-2007, 01:00 PM

I got the grey goose down ...

JustJess · 03-27-2007, 06:01 PM

ubertuber, you're in the SOUTH, man, get some real BBQ!! Sheesh. Any other ideas??

ubertuber · 03-27-2007, 06:06 PM

Ummm.... Brazilian grill?

JustJess · 03-27-2007, 06:19 PM

Wow. I didn't actually expect you to respond to that.

Maybe Brazilian... are you just doing dinner Saturday, or the whole enchilada?

ubertuber · 03-27-2007, 06:21 PM

Erm, probably just Saturday. My office would send ninja assassins to kill me if I was gone for two days right before tax season is over.

Besides, it's all you can eat meat and sword. What else do we need to say?

(and I just might sneak some BBQ sauce in my pocket - shhhhhh)

aberkok · 03-27-2007, 08:12 PM

I'm in.

Halx · 03-27-2007, 08:21 PM

zkara and I will be there!

The_Jazz · 03-28-2007, 04:51 AM

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss this by a few days. I have to be in NYC on 4/17-18 for some meetings and a Yankees game. Dang.

Meditrina · 03-28-2007, 04:58 AM

Once I find someone to take the kids for me, I will let you know if I can come or not. I am not picky about what we do. I just want to meet all of you!

JustJess · 03-28-2007, 05:58 AM

Widow: bribe the MIL! bribe the MIL!

Jazz: you could just come in to NYC early.... muaahahahahaha!

Aberkok, Halx, zkara: any preference on activities? locations?

amonkie · 03-28-2007, 07:40 PM

COLD STONE!!! Says the girl who's been deprived

Or homemade ice cream if we can come up with some empty coffee cans and a flat surface...

Meditrina · 04-01-2007, 01:15 PM

I am good to go.

The kids will be staying at my mother in law's for the night! I don't even have to go home to get them that night!

oh - but I am eating an early dinner at her house for her bday first.

sooo what's the plans??? and I will need to know which train to take, etc. etc.

can you tell I am excited?

JustJess · 04-01-2007, 06:42 PM

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!

That rocks, Widow. Monkie and I decided on the Bodies exhibit at the South Street Seaport during the day. What do you think?

YAYAYAY!!

ubertuber · 04-01-2007, 07:08 PM

OOOOHHH!!!! I really want to go to that again. Maybe I can rearrange schedule a little...

Meditrina · 04-03-2007, 08:50 AM

Well, I can't go to the Seaport during the day

Are you doing anything at night?

JustJess · 04-03-2007, 11:21 AM

Don't worry about it, darlin' - whatever time you can get to the city it will be a good time to be there.

Okay, sooo... Bodies at around 11-ish, with maybe cynthetiq and ubertuber, and definitely me and amonkie. Anyone else? Afternoon thoughts? I'm definitely cogitating on dinner and outness.... muahahahahaha! Oh, people, keep in mind - Bodies is expensive. We're talking about $25/per person. FYI.

I'm really looking forward to this!

JustJess · 04-09-2007, 08:37 AM

SO FAR:

11-ish: Bodies Exhibit, SouthStreetSeaport
Afternoon: I dunno yet!
6pm-ish: Dinner so that ubertuber can make it back to VA alive
After dinner: Out! Probably east of Union Square, where the bars are plentiful and roomy.

*BUMP*

amonkie · 04-09-2007, 01:41 PM

$25???? Oye. *looks at her semi empty pockets after Gas ($3/gal. double oye.)

I'll be there, ... what we do, I don't care

Just remember, I gotta drive home Sunday ..

aberkok · 04-09-2007, 04:44 PM

That sounds great. I will be there with bells on. The bodies exhibit has always creeped me out so it'll be good to go with some people who can protect me when they INEVITABLY COME BACK TO LIFE YOU KNOW THEY WILL!!!!!!!! I'm a little swamped tonight with packing, but I'll have a look at directions when I arrive tomorrow. If I'm confused I'll PM someone. Otherwise I'll meet you at the exhibit.

JustJess · 04-10-2007, 06:07 AM

OKAY!
Brazilian BBQ it is. Cynthetiq so helpfully found this place, which has some nice lookin' reviews and isn't as costly as some of the other B-BBQ places.
http://www.carne-vale.com/
I'll make a reservation for us. So far, it's Cyn (maybe Skogafoss), Halx, Zkara, Uber, Monkie, Aberkok, SWidow and moi. Anyone else want in? 6pm on Saturday!

PM me if you aren't on this list and want to be. :*

Cynthetiq · 04-10-2007, 06:09 AM

MEAT AND M... umm Carnivale dancers!!!!!

ubertuber · 04-10-2007, 06:21 AM

Cynthetiq - you are really, really the best.

JustJess · 04-10-2007, 06:24 AM

Oh, I almost forgot: Bodies!
11am in front of here:
EXHIBIT INFORMATION
South Street Seaport Exhibition Centre

Meditrina · 04-10-2007, 05:23 PM

I'll need directions from Penn Station to the restaurant, just in case I am brave enough to walk instead of taking a cab.

ubertuber · 04-10-2007, 05:25 PM

Yeah, that's not really close. You're going to want to cab it I think. I've never been to alphabet city, so I'm excited!

Meditrina · 04-10-2007, 06:10 PM

so does anyone care to meet me at Penn Station and take a cab ride with me?

JustJess · 04-10-2007, 06:11 PM

How about I (we) meet you and just take the train? I hate cabs unless I'm too drunk to manage otherwise (and no smart aleck comments from anybody on that one!!).

Meditrina · 04-10-2007, 06:14 PM

You will meet me at Penn? Oh! That would be wonderful!

I am far from being a city girl, being alone makes me a bit nervous.

I checked the schedule. The train would get in at 6pm. That might be a problem, since you made the reservation for 6.

ubertuber · 04-10-2007, 06:15 PM

I think I'm gonna drive to the restaurant so I can leave from there to go home. Maybe we can work something out.

Let me figure a couple of things out and I'll PM you tomorrow/Wed.

JustJess · 04-10-2007, 06:17 PM

I could push it to 630 if you can't get in before 6p, or I can get uber to pick yo' sweet self up, or we could leave one of our other awesome TFP peeps there.. we'll getcha there. Don't you worry.

Meditrina · 04-10-2007, 06:18 PM

I love you guys.

Redlemon · 04-11-2007, 05:19 AM

I wish I could be there. Jess was kind enough to email me, since I hadn't been on board for a while, but we already have family stuff planned for this weekend.

Enjoy the Bodies - I caught the show back in December. They didn't come to life that time, but I might not have brought the right stuff with me.

JustJess · 04-12-2007, 08:15 AM

Okay! I updated our reservations for Saturday for 6:15 (for SW!), and it's now 11 people... although amonkie won't tell me who the other two are. !!

Does anyone have thoughts/opinions/hopes for afternoon things in NYC, or things after dinner?

aberkok · 04-12-2007, 08:20 AM

Well... this has been only my second full day here and I'm already burning out on live music. I'd love to chill with a coffee in between the main events Saturday. A nice quiet bar would also suit me after. I'm coming to see my TFP friends after all and wouldn't want to be too distracted.

JustJess · 04-12-2007, 08:30 AM

Well, yeah, I like me some coffee. A lot. A lot. Maybe we'll explore Union Square or Central Park if it's nice out... If not, well, shit, I'm not sure. We'll figure something out!

As for after, that is exactly what I was thinking. Preference on type? This is NYC, after all, we fetishize our watering holes. Hm, that sounded wrong. But I digress.

Quiet: Pubs, lounges, piano bars, dives... you tell me! There's a ton of stuff in the area of the restaurant. TONS. It's a happenin' place, I tells ya.

aberkok · 04-12-2007, 01:12 PM

I'm thinking a pub.

amonkie · 04-12-2007, 02:04 PM

Yeah... quiet is the name of the game, DINO BBQ was so loud I was the only one who could "hear" since I read lips.

LOVE COFFEEE, Love wine/beer.... i'm good

. Just make sure there's no mortuary or science/biology geeks throwing a party.
