I saw Jude Law in Hamlet last night, and I highly recommend it. It was an amazing production, and he was great. (Not to mention hot. And it didn't hurt that we were sitting 2d row Orchestra, where I could reach out and touch him inappropriately. I'm convinced JLaw and I locked eyes several times during long soliloquies.)

OH GIANT RANT ON THE MTA!!!!!!!!!!!
okay earlier this week i bought a metrocard, put in 20 dollars cash. swiped it in all the turnstyles, didnt work. the guy said go thru the gate, i guess cuz he saw me just buy it? i thought fine, it will work another time, next morning same thing, didnt work. so then i ask the clerk what to do and he gave me an envelope where i have to return it for a refund. like as in MAIL IT IN. okay, there have been weeks where my literal last few dollars have gone to getting to and from work, id be screwed if this happenened on one of those days. the clerk said there was a system wide problem and this happened a lot. he was able to tell me tho after inputting something in his computer or whatever that my card had 20.75 on it. which i found strange considering i put in 20 bux for a new card.
does anyone know how long it will take to get my refund? and if i will even GET a refund? i have a strange feeling ill be waiting til im 75.

"dibs said he wanted something controversial"
DIBS also said he wanted a contortionist. But he hasn't gotten that.
Posted by: Re Writer at September 24, 2009 10:07 AM
rob...I did this recently. they mail you a new card in about 2 weeks.
Just fill out as much info on the form as possible.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 10:08 AM
DIBS,
What impressed me most about what yesterday was how closely he continues to read this site, including -- perhaps especially -- the OT. He kept modifying his threads in a very up to the minute way in response to things that were said here. He is really invested in what people say on this site, perhaps more than any of us. So much for the buddha-like "I'm happy here" pose he adopted on asshathill. I think he can't stand not being part of the discussion here. (What's the over/under on how many minutes before he posts this comment on his blog and calls me another double expletive?)
Posted by: slopefarm at September 24, 2009 10:09 AM
CarGar, I read that the production was really great. I think JL is underrated as an actor because he's so good looking. He's done some really good work. You lucky tent dweller, you.
Posted by: Montrose Morris at September 24, 2009 10:09 AM
*rob*, the clerk might be able to transfer the amount from the defunct card to a new one.
Ask them to try that.

Speaking of contortionists, where is Biff with the new post that he promised daily of some of the oldie good ones???
our Prez is slacking!!!!!
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 24, 2009 10:12 AM
MM, JLaw's looks and all joking aside, we were really impressed with how good he was. And that's a tough performance. He really carries the play. He's onstage almost the entire show. The rest of the cast, the staging, costumes, set, all were superb as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the limited run is extended.
Posted by: CarrollGardened at September 24, 2009 10:12 AM
They won't transfer it, Re Writer. BTW, how do you know I've never had a contortionist.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 10:13 AM
I'd love a contortionist. Of the female persuasion, natch. Love those women in La Cirque and such.

Rob, if you're that hard up, why not walk? Approx 40 mins to the BB, 20 mins over the BB. Add 5 mins for the Manhattan. Getting to be that time of year when temp-wise, it's pleasant.

Never dated a contortionist but did date dancers (not the pole dancing type). One was a backup for stomp and danced in Broadway company since she was a kid and the other danced ballet for 14 years. Man oh man does that bring back memories. These girls could really stretch and bend.

slope, according to the article there are. A bunch in Crown Heights Hasidic community. Also, I met quite a few from Argentina and Brazil but the ones I met were complete JAPS and their mommies & daddies were loaded. They spent most of their time traveling between LA, Miami, Buenos Aires and/or Rio de Janeiro.

ive never thought about that. that would be a nice walk actually for exercise and save money! but then id feel like an idiot cuz i get monthly metrocards from work (we pay for it but it's pre-taxed from our paycheck so we save). we get them every three months, but i always wind up selling them on craigslist for cheaper and then wind up buying single rides most of the time :-/ dumb dumb dumb. i already ordered my three monthly cards for october, november, and december. so when they send me a new card with the amount i lost, i wont even need it. tho i probably will in november or something.
nyc needs to HALVE it's cost of living, seriously. or i maybe i need a night job. any have any suggestions?

Sorry Pete. Facts are:
Brooklyn Bridge: 5989 feet long
Manhattan Bridge: 6855 feet long.
Maybe not a 5 min diff, but no way MB is faster than BB. Been doing that walk for over twenty five years almost daily. Unless you're including a tourist factor on the BB.
Posted by: denton at September 24, 2009 10:49 AM
OK, so here is my promised super-rant.
For the past two days, I attended a conference on Washington DC on offshore wind power. I'm still trying to recover from this "conference". My blood pressure is sky-high. Never have I seen an event that best demonstrates the lunacy of the way politics is practiced in the Northeast and Washington DC these days. Let me explain, and you decide for yourself.
What part of the country has the highest electricity rates, BY FAR, and the most trouble building new power plants, due to its density? The Northeast, of course. What part of the country has the best offshore wind "resources": the Northeast. The solution seems simple: build some "wind farms" offshore, right? But NNNNOOOOOOOO, this is the Northeast, where we are "sophisticated" about these things. Let me explain.
The first issue is that the NIMBY's who own beach homes don't want to look at off-shore windmills,despite their professed love for green energy. The solution? Developers are now proposing to move them out about 12 miles off-shore. However, doing so raises the cost of these projects enormously, for two reasons;
-the engineering gets alot more difficult. It's not easy building a row of windmills in deep water;
-more importantly, you are now talking about Federally-owned waters, rather than state-owned. This opens up a PANDORA'S BOX of federal regulations, which was really the main point of this conference. At this conference, two lawyers spent ONE AND A HALF HOURS giving a SUMMARY of the regulations. More than TWENTY types of studies and permits have to addressed. Some of them are legitimate - things like making sure the wind farms don't interfere with shipping lanes. Others are pure LUNACY. One of the studies required is to determine the effect of these wind farms on BATS. YES, BATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO THE HELL CARES IF A FEW BATS ARE KILLED BY THESE THINGS???? You want to hear the ultimate lunacy? You also have to perform a study on the "Cultural and historical landmark" impact of this proposal. Are they for real???? What are we supposed to be concerned about: a brownstone that sunk to the bottom of the ocean??
At the end of this presentation, the director of the Interior Department who is responsible for this lunacy said that she was "proud" of this process. Really????
Of course, after this presentation, there were presentations from teams of lawyers, consultants and other folks with expensive suits who were offering their services to help you navigate through this process, all for a nice fat fee, of course. And of course, they were filled by the very same people who helped develop these regulations, including an ex-US Senator who was there (Senator Tydings of Maryland) They estimated that it would take "at least two years" to navigate through this maze. They must have used the word "stakeholders" 400 times. Leeches!!!! Parasites!!!! Why don't you do an honest day's worth of work, for once.
So, the reason that everyone was at this conference is they were faced with a predicament. Given these constraints, the possibly cheap wind power would now be super-expensive, more expensive than current rates. What to do?? NOOOOO PROBLEM. - the leeches have another answer: use stimulus money to build these things!! The geniuses in expensive suits thought that they were so clever.
Oh wait, though, there is a problem. When you use stimulus money, it's supposed to create "good American Jobs". All of the hardware for wind mills comes from overseas companies. They come from one Japanese company (the one I work for) and three European companies. So, the leeches invite representatives from these companies to attend, in the hopes that we will agree to set up some manufacturing operations here.
MEMO to the leeches: keep dreaming!!! After the presentations, I got together with the other manufacturing reps, and we were almost delerious with laughter at this nonsense. These expensive suits wouldn't know how to execute an engineering project if their life depended on it.
What the hell happened to the big dreamers in NY and areas like it? At one time, we could build the Empire State building in 13 months, and here we have leeches talking about a two year permit process. Robert Moses built the entire Riverside Park and henry Hudson Parkway in three years.
One final comment. At the very end of the conference, a guy got up to talk who made my day. He looked like the stereotypical sourthern highway patrol man. Tall and heavy, spoke with a drawl and wore a cheap suit. He was the president of an engineering company in Texas. He announced that he was already building wind farms off the coast of Texas. They were close enough in to fall into Texas waters, and the permit process was already done. I, and the other manufacturers' reps., gave him my card and told him that we would be pleased to do business with him.

benson, I've watched that bullshit with the proposed windmills off of Nantucket. It has been mostly the NIMBYs (you can imagine nantucket NIMBTism as the epitome of NIMBYism) who have stymied the process. Cape Cod has electric rates similar to Long Island as you might imagine.

Posted by: Petebklyn at September 24, 2009 10:59 AM
benson, I am so in agreement with you. Not a goddamn thing can get built in this part of the country. It's truly disgusting.
I wish we really went 'locavore'. Maybe if we drilled for our own oil, generated our own electricity, and had our own slaughterhouses (like we used to on 125th Street when I was a kid) we would know the costs and benefits of things.
Look at the Westway fiasco.
And most people's idea of 'green' is some kind of shopping.
I used to have an apt in Houston back when I was in the international marine biz and totally agree about Texans having a better attitude about these things. A lot I didn't like about Texas but the fact that they actually make stuff, build stuff, and provide opportunities to the working classes was quite refreshing.

Y'all come back now, heahhh?
Posted by: denton at September 24, 2009 11:06 AM
Great rant, benson. And I am completely agreeing with you- how much more stupid can we get before we figure out that we cannot keep going on like this without clean energy? This is one of those few instances where I will say, re historic areas, screw them because if this keep up they won't exist anymore either. I happen to find the windmills very beautiful- I know some don't but ;more importantly, the energy they provide mus become top priority.
Posted by: bxgrl at September 24, 2009 11:07 AM
Benson,
I feel your pain.
The only thing these folks in Washington are waiting for is how to distribute the federal dollars used for these projects through their Wall street cronies with Bond issues.
This ongoing hoax is becoming more evident day by day.
Look at the Cap and Trade bullshit. The wall street firms like Goldman Sachs are always looking at their angle in these projects because ultimately all the monies will have to be sifted through their companies first. Carbon credits is the next bubble that Wall Street is lining up. Mark my words.
And let me get controversial here, the global warming issue is by no means resolved. I have read that there are many climatologists and metereological specialists who are arguing the opposite.
some of their main points;
-if the ice caps are melting, water levels along the equator would rise and slow down the rotation of the planet.
hasn't happened. and they have instruments that can detect this.
-Earth's temperature is most influenced by cosmic radiation and the solar wind, not green house gases. That is, when the solar wind wanes, cosmic radiation ionizes the atmospheric gasses and traps heat. This is dependent on where our little solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy during any given period in time.
- objective review of shorelines where water levels are said to be rising by the IOCC, have been proven to be areas of tectonic subsidence (where the earth's crust is diving under another plate, slowly). In other words, it's not the water rising but the earth sinking.
there is alot more, people really need to read up on it.
anyway, I really think that windmills are needed, as well as geothermic, solar, tidal and of course nuclear. 3 mile island was a man made problem that derailed nuclear for an entire generation. we really need to re-visit the idea. proper use of nuclear is the true answer to our energy independence.

Benson,
I agree with the main point of your rant wrt Federal regulation and the difficulty of getting things done.
I am more skeptical about the efficacy of wind power given its higher cost and lower reliability relative to other sources. Do you think costs will come down much, or is it still going to require subsidies to compete?

I picked up on his "cheap suit" because it really did stick out amidst the crowd. I'm telling you, this was one fashionably-dressed crowd!!!
I almost got the feeling that the Texan laid it on think with the drawl just to stick it to them.
Denton, totally agree about the attitude in Texas towards manufacturing and work in general. Recently The Economist predicted that Texas would take over California's former position as the most dynamic state in the country from an economic POV.

Etson;
I think the jury is still out regarding wind power. At this point in time, it needs subsidies to compete. I have less of a problem with justifying the susbsidies for a limited amount of time. It could be considered seed money until a true industry is created (including a US-based supply chain). As my rant above, shows, however, I have a BIG problem with leeches who show NO concern for the cost of this power, and just look at it as another pot of gold.

Earth's rotation is slowing down because the earth has been losing momentum over billions of years (we have a few billion more before it comes to a complete stop) and the rotation affects the water (and is also affected by the moon). They can and have measured the slowing by atomic clocks and the earth is losing about a second a century (If I remember right). The earth's mantle is always changing because of this and your point about the earth sinking for higher ocean levels questionable. While the tectonic plates slide around as one edge goes down, it is sliding under and lifting another. The land mass isn't changing though so that is not why the ocean levels are rising. And the tectonic plate shifting has been going on since the earth was born. Why should the shifts now be responsible for the rise in sea level? It rises when you put more water into the oceans- by glacial melting. in any case, for the science of the earth slowing down check these links:

RW- I'd never iron bedsheets unless I had Elle Decor coming over for a photo shoot.
My trick for smooth sheets is to dry them alone. Usually when you put other items in the dryer they tend to bunch up into a ball and dry crinkled. If they have room to float around they usually come out pretty smooth. Plus they dry much quicker on their lonesome.

bxgrl,
the argument is that with rising sea levels, equatorial water would increase away from the solid ice caps. The water would slow the earth's rotation as analagous to an ice skater stretching out their arms while doing a spin. Your argument that the earth's spin is slowing may be true but this is already factored in, the Earth's slowing rotation as a function of time is understood. What we are talking about is a detectable and quite prominent slowing that would be expected on the graphs if water levels were indeed rising throughout the planet. That spike in the graph has not been detected.
as far as the coastal areas of flooding, one place in particular which is pointed to by global warming proponents is the areas surrounding Hong Kong, the climatologists who were making the study understood this to be an area of subsidence but still included the data to support their claim to rising sea levels.
do a google search and check this out for yourself. there is a great deal of politics behind this global warming, too much for comfort.
I recently saw one respected meterologist on television speaking to the issue of global warming and I have to say he is quite convincing, against the idea. The guy's name is Bastardi and he's always on the weather channel about hurricanes. He was showing a graph on how one would expect the strength of hurricanes to increase with global warming. In fact, over the past 10 years, he argues, the sum of global hurricane strength has decreased.
I'm not saying I am the expert in this, but there is enough expert testimony out there by well regarded scientists to punch large holes in the global warming theory, at least with respect to it being a man-made phenomenon.

The point of bubbles is that, once they go beyond a reasonable/rational valuation, they continue growing unabated. If something was fairly/under-valued and then becomes 100% over-valued then it must have gone through the point where it was 50% over-valued (otherwise we would never have bubbles).
My point is that something needs to happen to pop those bubbles and bring things down - either a proactive event (eg Lehmans going under) or lack of momentum (eg no more qualified buyers).
My bet is that the chinese RE bubble bursts in the next 12 months. I don't know what factor is going to cause it but I think there are enough potential things that could happen that one, or a combination of them, will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Ocean water concentrated in the equatorial region and so the arctic seas are shallower. (novan.com/earth.htm).

I don't think the Hong Kong real estate bubble is going to burst anytime soon. It dipped a bit last December after the financial crisis, but it is back up again (and a friend of mine who bought investment property in January has already made 20% on his well-timed buy).
But a couple of factors make Hong Kong property an unusual situation. First is that there's inflated demand from mainland Chinese looking for ways to launder their money. HK is one of the world's biggest money laundering centers!
The second factor is that the Hong Kong government owns all the land, and sale is by leasehold. Hong Kong has low taxes, so the bulk of its operating costs come from the land "sales". The government treats its land like the Arabs treat their oil, releasing only as much as the market will bear, and thus keeping property values artificially inflated.

As usual, a loaded question. But I will respond.

Again, read the arguments from the scientists themselves then get back to me.

As you know from our previous conversation regarding your divine spark theory, I was previously a lab scientist, publish-or-die of course, and I can't say appealing to your own resume is an indication that I should not question your characterization of "well-regarded scientists".
The scientific consensus is clear, please don't confuse earth's warming and cooling cycles with the additional matter of climate change caused by humans.
Posted by: dittoburg at September 24, 2009 1:30 PM
To give you an idea...the flat I rent in Hong Kong is smaller than the one I own in Brooklyn. It is about 500 square feet (it's rated larger, because in Hong Kong developers can count all sorts of things--common space, hallways, even elevator shafts--as part of the "space.")
The 500 square feet is cut into a LR and TWO(!!) BRs. It was built in 1994 so it's not a "new" building (new construction is the most desirable in HK--buildings aren't built to last). Location is the most desirable area of downtown (SoHo), right next to the Midlevels escalator. Roughly analagous to the heart of Greenwich Village.
The last I looked, this baby was selling for 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, or about $455,000. I would never pay that amount for a place like this. You be the judge...here's some pix:

dittoburg,
and if you will recall, our conversation on "divine spark", you left it admitting that there was indeed microvoltage needed to initiate cellular division in animal cloning. The "divine" question is left to the interpreter. Unless you know who is initiating this spark, I would say you are just as much in the dark as the rest of humanity.
as far as "non-peer" reviewed journals, there are many out there, we can play semantics all day in which I will describe a peer reviewed journal is one in which a manuscript is submitted by the investigator and reviewed by colleagues before publication while a non-peer reviewed journal is one in which a scientific writer reports on findings and trends in science.
...but still, you go there and we'll play our game of patty cake.
The consensus is far from clear my friend. In fact, it is the warming and cooling cycles of the Earth that is in question. The IPCC (International Panel for Climate Control) has cherry picked data to match their contention. Look up one respected scientist's opinion on this (Pielke).
The reasons I have stated in my previous posts are based in solid science and physics, not in a cracker jack box.
I've also stated that there is a distinction between man made global warming and normal cycles.
I'm still on the fence about whether or not the Earth is truly warming, but if it is, It is not likely to be man made. Why? because Mars has shown some recent warming trends without our human help.

That's amazing, Snappy. He looked like pitiful on a stick when we were giving him flea baths. He would tremble like death was staring him in the face, and he worked it for hours. I bet he's just too cute now.
Posted by: Montrose Morris at September 24, 2009 1:53 PM
"pitiful on a stick"
ROFL! He still looks like that when he's soaking wet, but this time he had fun with it :-) He really seems to enjoy the after-bath towel rubbing to get him dry. I wrap him in a hand towel (that's the biggest I need since he's so wee) and rub him vigorously. He purrs and coos and just doesn't want it to end.

Legion, no mystery about any alleged microvoltage required, there is none required. Its simple enthalpy issues.
As for non-peer reviewed journals - I assume you must mean you published in Scientific American.... Your self-congratulations that your articles were peer-reviewed is nonsensical, its de rigueur for any serious publication.
As for the climate change consensus, you know what the consenus is. But you like to style yourselves with the "independent thinkers", the mavericks, no? It all goes back to your God-of-the-gaps approach.
I'm not going to waste as much time today on this as (we both did) previously as I'm sure we both got better things to do. I'm sure we'd both agree that one must not stop questioning, but the god-of-the-gaps approach does nothing useful.

bxgrl,
that's part of the argument that is factored into the current debate.
If the ice caps melted significantly in the past 20 years, for instance, the volume of water in liquid form added to the oceans would have a noticable and somewhat immediate effect on the Earth's rotational rate, regardless of the understood steady decrease in rotation with time.
We are talking about a very short time period in Earth's history, the past 20-50 years, if significant polar water melted into the oceans it would be detectable as a slowing of the earth's spin in that time period, well differentiated from historical trends over millions of years.

Me too!
Ugh, last night I was trying to get a baking dish out of the cabinet and I wasn't paying really close attention cause a 12'' round Pyrex lid to come sliding out. It fell onto the granite counter-top and turned into glass crumbs. It was like I shot it at close range.
I had glass everywhere. It completely covered the entire kitchen and even shot out clear through to the far wall in the dining room. I spent 4 hours last night carefully sweeping then vacuuming then wiping down with wet paper towels every freaking inch of my kitchen.
Oh how I cried!
The cats were crying too, I had them all locked in various rooms upstairs as I cleaned. I chased the whole brood up and then closed every door.

That sucks THL. My favorite skillet lid met a similar fate. Someone I hate talking to called me one day while I was trying to cook and the lid fell out of my hands while trying to hold on to that, the phone and a spatula. I was ANGRY! I have found though that Pyrex brand baking dishes refuse to break. I've dropped those things so many times, including on concrete (what a terrible night that was...peach cobbler all over University Place in the Village) and it doesn't even crack.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 2:24 PM
Damn! That is pulverized. Must have hit a true tension point in the glass. Have you ever used silicone baking products? I've been wondering about those because of the ease of removing things like muffins, etc. from them, but worry that there may be something we don't know yet about silicone leaching into the food.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 24, 2009 2:24 PM
Legion- according to NASA scientists who have been measuring this, El Nino caused a slowing of the earth's rotation because it is the earth's atmosphere that can and does affect the rotation. If the placement of water made the earth slow down, you would have it every day with the tides. The deepest water is at the equator- driven there when the rotation was fastest. It did not slow down the earth's rotation.
Well, enuff said- just want to thank you and Ditto- the science stuff is fascinating and I wanted to thank you both for 2 great debates so far.
Posted by: bxgrl at September 24, 2009 2:25 PM

How to make money by doing business in Iraq:
I'm sure you can get cheap knick knacks made for very little at some underutilized Iraqi factory. So:
1. Get a ton of cheap little trinkets that would appeal to midwesterners made. Real Americana but not in a way that would be obvious to the people making it.
2. Have "made in a free Iraq" stamped on the back.
3. Overprice and sell to people in middle America who will get a stiffie when they read the "made in a free Iraq" caption.
I absolutely guarantee that you can make many millions of dollars doing this.
Anyone want in?
Posted by: lechacal at September 24, 2009 2:27 PM
I do use silicone but mostly just the tools like spatulas and the like. I never got any baking pans.
Although...my mom introduced me to Silpats many years ago and I don't have a baking sheet that doesn't have an accompanying one. They are incredible. I even blogged about them:

dittoburg,
if you think that microvoltage is not needed in the cloning process, you obviously haven't read the literature. enough said.
as far as my "god of the gaps" approach, you are taking me far too literally as usual. I have a playful and sometimes poetic approach to many larger questions in life which is sometimes interpreted as literal by folks like yourself who simply want to discredit a curious mind. When I mentioned "God is in the details" in a previous discussion we had regarding subatomic theory. I was playing on several themes at once, first the well known quote that "God is in the details", refers to the fact that what we human's have always ascribed to unknown forces and unknowable subtleties a godlike power, many times making these very concerns into gods like Apollo or Poseidon. As a modern allegory, the ideas being worked out in particle physics point towards a probabilistic universe in which anything is indeed possible, where our typical reality and it's laws no longer exist. Hence my statement that "God can be found in those gaps".
The "God of the gaps" approach is quite useful in that it at least poses a possibility rather than a humorless void, which is apparently your choice.
Lighten up, read Steppenwolf, Hesse had it right. Harry Haller's problem was that he couldn't see the humor in it all.

"who is re writer?"
"DH, I have no clue, and it's not for lack of trying to figure it out, but s/he's been engaging me for days now, so, I figure, wtf."
Actually, r w has dropped a few clues lately, perhaps inadvertently. Some of us long-time PLUSAs know or ought to know. I am pretty sure I know. If I'm right, r w was at most of the early get togethers under a previous nom de guerre, was at Ellis incognito (no, not Adam), and was, in fact, a big re-writer under a previous login. Biff will have to feign ignorance but I am sure he knows I am right about this.

Posted by: bxgrl at September 24, 2009 4:13 PM
slopefarm, no doubt. for me, I'll only engage if said person signs in via original ID
Posted by: more4less at September 24, 2009 4:13 PM
haha uh oh - looks like my plan is backfiring m4L!!
i should have put in the fine print 'offer only valid on days that don't end in y'

"Biff will have to feign ignorance"
I'm extremely good at acting ignorant.
It comes quite naturally to me, in fact.
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 24, 2009 4:15 PM
Biff, check your email.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 4:15 PM
bxgrl, did you NOT see my reply to YOUR post?
slopefarm, Adam was at Ellis incognito??
Posted by: CarrollGardened at September 24, 2009 4:15 PM
"Biff, check your email."
DIBS, that joke is getting sooooo stale.
Oh wait, you really DID send me something...

Slope, Bzzzzzz, WRONG.
I know whom you're referring to, Biff's cavort of day's past.
I'm sure Biff has feigned a lot of things, not just ignorance.
Biff, check your email.

Is Ellis Incognito related to Ellis Bar?

Better when you have one for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 4:24 PM
Slope, are you coming on the 15th?
Speaking of incognito, Someone has to shoot Adam an email about our get together since I dont' think he really reads the OT and I am sure wasn't even aware of Ratifico or Brooklyn Inn.

Snaps, I was proofing galleys on my BlackBerry during intermission last night! Give me a break on my ballot! Besides, do you know how long it takes to re-read every Brownstoner post for the past 5 years to ensure I cast the perfect votes? A vote is a terrible thing to waste (though, again, mine can be bought).

It's a very hard decision and some of the questions are tricky? Anyone can provide a cheat sheet? Us Russians don't like to play by the rules. We just buy arenas and shit with money magically made post perestroika times.
Speaking of that, I am a Russian Jew and I didn't get the memo. All of the oligarchs struck rich right around my age. I am waiting for the phone call any day now to become a CEO of some precious metal or oil newly developed company.

ugh. Totally shouldn't have even mentioned it. I wanted to have an after work drink and reached out to a couple people seeing if there was any interest (after the OT was shut down for the night I think) and then figured it was too much work and said forget about it and then some very impromptu random drinks ended up happening after all. OK inquest over.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 24, 2009 5:08 PM
biff - well to be honest you are kind of in the super totally anonymous category. Totally cool to hang out at the big events and all, but unless I know who someone is it's a little odd to be hanging out with them one on one. Just an explanation, not saying you shouldn't keep doing the totally anonymous thing if that's how you want to do things.
Posted by: lechacal at September 24, 2009 5:10 PM
"Re-Writer" — Is suspicious. But I feel like it's someone we know, and I kind of like him/her, which worries me.

personally if i were to swing that way, i would have to include gabrielle union on my list. saw her in a commercial the other day and i was like that woman is older than me and 1) has the most perfect skin 2) has a slammin bod and 3) is drop dead freaking gorgeous.

Observation:
When you go to google images and put in "Gabrielle Union" and hit "search images", and a whole smorgasborg of a hot chick wearing not very much at all pops up on your screen, and the head of your practice group walks by and sees your screen, it's a little awkward.
