M4L;
One of the big surprises for me last night was to learn that we work in the same industry and both know some of the old heavy-weights from the “golden days”.
BTW, one thing I forgot to mention. Are you familiar with the famous (in our circles) sharkbite incident with the first AT&T fiber-optic cable,and the subsequent “shark-hunting” expedition? I was the guy who organized that expedition. I spent 7 weeks at sea that time, we caught 350 specimen of rare, deep-sea sharks (which were subsequently donated the Museum of Natural History) and the story made it to the front page of the NYT’s – my 15 minutes of fame.
I miss going out to sea on the cable-installation ships.
Haha Kens, I saw you in action! But this was definitely Fabian the Latino Metalhead Gangbanger. Too bad DIBS had left (in a car with M4L – you’re quite the risk-taker, M4L!).
I have a vague memory of some (non-PLUSA) guy coming out of the bar to talk to Jessi, DH, and me about some girl he was hitting on – what was that about?

Good morning, PLUSAs! I remember very little of what happened last night, although I do remember the bat and the fish and lots of conversations (mostly before I got hammered – I haven’t had a hangover like this in awhile). The look on DIBS’ face at the WonTon intro was priceless. I have a vague memory of some (non-PLUSA) guy coming out of the bar to talk to Jessi, DH, and me about some girl he was hitting on – what was that about?

“Biff, this would be 1st big gathering Jon didn’t show up at”
Indeed. I think he’s on vacation. Either that or else he just likes me more than Cobble and Snappy. 🙂
Mnahattans! My twin drinks those and I’m convinced they gave my dad diabetes and me a cavity.

That was ME six!!!! I hit on a lesbian!
haha sixyears. that was fabian, the puerto rican self proclaimed gang banger who was telling me stories about all the knife wounds on his arm.
he was cool though – i almost went with him and his buddies down the block to a heavy metal bar, but decided it was a bit late and I needed a slurpee.
Yeah, thanks for your concern Benson.
Everything is okay – Just a very busy, stressful week at work. It all ended yesterday so it was good to see everyone and blow off some steam.
The Manhattans at Ellis were good? I noticed you drinking one, but I can never work up the courage to order one at a ‘regular’ bar.
