IT'S TIME TO PAR-TAY!!!
We Brownstoners just can’t pass up an excuse to get together and sip cold drinks, so it’s time to GET DOWN, GET FUNKY, GET LOOSE!
On October 15th beginning at 6:30pm, all Brownstoner contributors, readers, lurkers and posters are invited to come on out to Union Hall for a good ole time.
This time we will be celebrating Libra and Scorpio birthdays. And, as a special treat, we are hosting the First Annual Brownstoner Regulars’ Choice Awards. Pop into the Open Thread any day to find out the voting categories and how to vote for your favorite posters. We’ve got a special category for Brownstoner posters and lurkers we’d most like to meet. So many of you have made the list of nominations that we can’t even name you all here! Show up and let us see you in the flesh and raise our glasses to you :-)
Everyone is invited and those of you who have never joined us before are especially encouraged to come by for snacks, drinks and plenty of laughs.
Union Hall is located at 702 Union Street (near the corner of 5th Avenue) in Park Slope, Brooklyn. http://tinyurl.com/md9qcd
Take the R/M train to Union Street (when you exit the train, walk up hill to 5th Ave.) or the B63 bus to Union Street and 5th Avenue.
We look forward to welcoming Brownstoners old and new!

Ellis Bar, Tonight at 6pm!
IT'S A PAR-TAY! Come on down to Ellis Bar and party with the posters and lurkers on Brownstoner.com!!!
It's a night to celebrate Leo and Virgo birthdays, drink adult beverages (yeah!), and, if you are brave enough, take part in Ellis' Thursday night karaoke.
We've got drink specials, goodie bags for all attendees and a special goodie bag for those who are Leos or Virgos. Does it get any better than this? HECK YEAH! There will be a special prize for the first Brownstoner who is brave enough to sing for us :-)
Don't be shy - come hang with us. We will be starting the festivities at 6pm. Have to work Thursday night? Tell that boss of yours that you've got somewhere more important to be! The economy stinks — what's a better way to let go of that stress than to quaff a brew with your fellow Brownstoners? THERE ISN'T A BETTER WAY!
http://www.ellisbar.com/
So, get your booty on down to Ellis Bar, located at 627 5th Avenue between 17th and 18th Streets in Greenwood Heights. Take the R train to Prospect Avenue or the B63 bus to 5th Avenue and 18th Street.
Hope to see you there!

Ellis Bar, Thur. Aug. 6th at 6pm
On Thursday, August 6th at 6:00pm, there will be a gathering of Brownstoner members at Ellis Bar.
We are celebrating Leo and Virgo birthdays – woooohoooo! Ok, so really it’s more of an excuse to get together, drink adult beverages and be silly :-).
Ditch work early and come hang out with us. Need incentive? How’s this…I’ve got goodie bags for all attendees and special ones for those B’Stoners who are Leos or Virgos. (Don’t get too excited…it’s cheap stuff!) Be sure to let me know if you are a Leo or Virgo so I can have a special goodie bag for you!
There will be karaoke at 9pm so prepare your ears for the dulcet (or squeaky!) tones of Brownstoner posters :-).

"I think the "brownstoner.com" should have been more prominently displayed. Just saying."
When you decorate your t-shirt for the event, you can do that yourself! [I agree, name's too damn small.]

No, jessi, we don't do "that". After 6 years we're still getting to know each other. We're taking it slow. ; )

"if youre older than 13 and you walk in the street holding hands, grrrrrr. arent you embarrassed!? you look totally dumb."
Let me guess....Rob said this. IDIOT. And you sound like a totally miserable jealous jerk.
BH and I hold hands walking on the street, in restaurants, at the movies, watching TV, on planes, on trains, etc. We like each other.

BH, Look at the top of the page here....see that tab, next to "Brooklyn Flea" for "bk.ly"?
Click it open, paste the long link, and it creates [shortens] a short link suitable for posting.

I'm just pointing up Rob repeated hypocritical statements/behavior today. I'd like him to ponder it a little. So I'm pushing my points.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 3:45 PM in response to Open Thread
I don't have to explain myself to you, Rob. You know what you do, and what you have said here.
Couch it as 'gay flaws', but it's gay bashing.

Who said anything about gay. Wierd was what I was after.

Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 2:24 PM in response to Open Thread
Are you so miserable in your own life, Rob? That you refuse to allow room in your head for the concept that human beings should be treated reasonably well in this life? That there are certain basic elements that society might provide for?
Much as you profess to not want to be one of 'those' people. You are, in fact, one of those people. You have a paycheck, you have health insurance, you have disability insurance, you pay into Social Security and Medicare, you pay taxes [sometimes], you pay bills, you have a dog and a roof over your head, and a metro card, you buy groceries, you buy clothes, and a checking account. You clean your apt. You socialize.
You are, in fact, PART of society. [Much as this may annoy me, it's a fact.]

I think, Rob, that you have finally and completely gone around the bend.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 2:18 PM in response to Open Thread
I prefer to think of myself as an Equal Opportunity *THWACK*er.

"cobble is right, benefits are a pretty big expense for a company"
When you have a chance, DH, if you would/have the patience, please explain the dollar VALUE and the intangible VALUE of having benefits from your employer.
The ipso facto SAFETY NET that Rob has, and is mind-numbingly ignorant about.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 2:01 PM in response to Open Thread
Oh please, Rob, check your attitude. Gay bashing? You're way off base, jack ass.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 1:58 PM in response to Open Thread
Rob, do you even understand the benefits you receive at your place of employment? it seems to me that you do not. Go talk to the accountant and ask them if, for curiosity sake, to explain to you the VALUE of your benefits. FI you don't want to talk to him/her, then go ask any recruiter or someone with more patience for you than me.

Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 1:28 PM in response to Open Thread
I changed my mind. Apparently, I'm not done.
And the nannies don't have health insurance.
And the nannies don't have Social Security.
And the nannies don't have unemployment insurance.
And the nannies don't have sick days [well, sometimes they do, but it's not guaranteed].
And the nannies don't have other benefits you get along with YOUR regular paycheck.
It's not as simple as you portray it, Rob. Yes, the people that pay the nannie's should pay taxes, but don't f*cking put it on the nannies. That's just BULLSH*T as far as I'm concerned.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 1:26 PM in response to Open Thread
Whatever, DIBS, he pissed me off. I'm done now.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 1:19 PM in response to Open Thread
"youre a hypocrite."
And please explain to me precisely how I am being a hypocrite.
I pay my taxes, I don't have a nanny, what's your point?
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 18, 2010 1:13 PM in response to Open Thread
"why am i an ass because i think they should pay taxes? youre a hypocrite."
Go pick on someone that needs picking on like the huge corporations that get absurd tax cuts here, instead of nannies who make LESS than you do, for crying out loud.
You spend so much time feeling sorry for yourself and picking on nannies, it's absurd. Go get some self-esteem and figure it out.
