New York City - TFP Meetup! Friday, August 21st

Here's the deal - old school TFPer quadro2000 will be playing LIVE music at Wicked Willy's and our very own lovely little_tippler will be in town from Portugal, so we're going to combine these two events and have a little meet-up.

When: Friday, August 21st @ 7pm
Where: Wicked Willy's - 149 Bleecker Street (Thompson/LaGuardia)
What: Listen to Acoustic 80's songs (both rich and cheesy) and meet other TFPers while crammed in the back of a bar.
NO Cover and half-price drinks until 9.
Who:
quadro2000 (he wont be aware that we're even planning this, he probably forgot what the TFP is, but he's playing the music so he'll be there)
little_tippler
Halx
...and YOU!

I would make the drive just to meet LT. Unfortunately I have a mandatory meeting that afternoon at 4pm in Ohio.

I think I can make it. Gotta get through early August before I'm sure, but I'll do what I can.

Has JustJess been around here lately? Are they still together?

No, she's been busting her ass in hospitals non-stop for the last year. To be honest, I haven't even seen them in over a year, just been keeping tabs on them through Facebook.

So glad I will get to meet so many of you! Also, I am still wanting to do the museum visit, if you guys are still up for it at all. I'm going anyway so if people want to come and hang out, I'd love your company! But we can talk about it over in the other thread! Looking forward to this

< Redlemon >

I'm posting under my wife's account, since I've been off-board for 2 weeks and I don't want to lose the "unread" counts.

I'll be there tomorrow at about 7 (is the music starting that early?), and I'll be offering free back/arm/hand massage to any TFPer who wants it; just ask. And don't offer me a drink in barter, since I'm licensed in CT, not NY, and that would cause license issues. Free is free.

Any other last-minute signups?

Holy cow, I'm actually posting on TFP. Obviously been a very long time. JustJess and I are doing very well, thanks so much for asking, everyone. As Halx said, we're both just pretty busy these days and don't have as much time to contribute as we'd like. Definitely have not forgot about what the TFP is. I promise.

Thanks so much to Halx, Cynthetiq, Redlemon and little_tippler for coming to our gig tonight. It was so wonderful to see/meet you guys. Hope we can do it again soon. (little_tippler, enjoy the rest of your stay here!)

I'm still in NYC but thought I'd post the meet-up photos!

quadro2000 gave us a great show, we were dancing to the music the whole time. We had drinks and later chatted, though the music was so loud we had to shout. We rounded the night off with some yummy Chinese food

Cyn, me and Redlemon


Halx in the middle


quadro2000, me, Halx and JustJess...I'm really not a midget, I was just crouching

Great to meet you guys after all this time. Sorry I had to run out during the Chinese food, but I only made my train back home with 1 minute to spare.

The gig was a lot of fun. Everyone who was within range on Friday and didn't bother to come is lame. I'm going to do my best to see another Acoustic 80s gig when another one is scheduled.
