Sorry... I just don't give those away... those have to be earned, and applied in person. Assuming it is warranted.
I'd go as far as saying that there hasn't ever been another map made with such passion and soul. It's perfect, ghetto. It's so perfect.
If it were a perfect map, The Comfort Zone would be marked out for us as well. Whatsamatta? You Torontonians don't have any class? Seriously, the first person to say "Let's go to the BierMarkt" on the meet-up and I slip Ajax into your drink (and I don't mean the town). Yes, lots of beers. Yes, it's also Patient Zero for douchebaggery and fabulously overpriced. They turn away women in open-toed shoes but NOT guys who wear clogs(?!?!!?). Figure that one out.
The last time I was at that bar half the people on this board were probably still killing ants with a magnifying glass. We're talking at least 15 years ago. I was far gone, I just remember lots of drunk college poeple and more spilled beer on the floor than the Concordia tent at Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest. THERE would be a great meet-up next year, and it's right around the corner from us.
I've been told by my doctor I can't touch a single drop of alcohol, which means I'll be way less fun - I'll still show up though for a while, not sure how long I'll stay out. Might bring a J or something.
Yes, sadly, I will not be able to make it. I am looking forward to the SmugMug photo documentation and police report, though.
What time do people want to meet at the bar? I thought I mentioned a time, but I looked back and don't see a post about it.
I have been debating on going this entire time, and as fun as it sounds I don't think It's worth the trainride from London and back.
I will unfortunately be spending that weekend selling conflict diamonds to under-sexed, baby crazy twentysomethings. A meet-up sounds like fun but I'm going to need a fat commission check to make tuition payments this year.
So, maybe we should take a head count and have a meeting start time since this is actually close. And how do we "identify" ourselves in said bar? Did somebody say earlier about getting a table or area or something? I vote that as you enter the room, you let out a high-pitch Gaelic cry and then the brood attacks you with gym socks filled with ashtrays. Beaten into the gang, it's the way to go. By the way, are you ding-a-lings getting shitfaced before you even show up at the bar, or should we get to know our charming sober sides for at least 5 minutes first? It's my birthday, so I may have a slight glow or maybe tell the bouncer he has a Napoleon Complex on arrival.
My work hours are going to be pretty variable coming up. You guys go ahead and set a start time and I'll get there as soon as I can. Unless you want to make it late in the evening, past 8:00. We'll recognize each other by the awkward silence, naturally.
