No problem guys. Thanks so much for coming out.
I think we should do a gathering in Union Square next time. I’ll plan it! Big subway hub you know 😉
(I know I know, Brooklyn blog, Brooklyn digs…)
Speaking of Manhattan, just got back home after walking about with my kids. In a metropolitan swamp. I’m not kidding. Smells like a simmering gravy consisting of human urine, hockers, feces, bacteria of every imaginable type, eau d’body odor and a smattering of ‘God-only-knows-what’ thrown into said swamp for good measure.
Sigh. I’ve gotta get me to Brooklyn.
ughhhhhh my head still hurts! DH, thanks for organizing!
Anyway, if you asshats want to keep drinking on Saturday, come to Sycamore in Ditmas Park anytime after 2. We’ll be there awhile and if the weather cooperates, we’ll be out in the garden.
If you want to do a short self-guided tour of the area beforehand, get off the Q at Church, turn right on Church, left on East 16th, and right on Albemarle. You can then turn left on any of the streets to Cortelyou.
Sounds like Al Vann is in the right position, one where he can’t do too much damage. Imagine if he drove a bus?
“When some asshole calls you a ‘pussy’ for leaving a bar (like me) you respond to them “I am what I eat!””
It’s a good line, DH! Wishful thinking much of the time, in my case.
Haven’t been called out for that in a while, b/c usually I am the asshole that overstays his welcome at a bar!
(speaking of which, jester – I am totally up for trying your local sometime)
Miss Chiff….Bill lives around the corner on Macon bet Stuyvesant & Malcolm X. He’s either a retired cop or fireman, owns a number of buildings in the area. He’s the one who recommended MIllad to me. Millad has done his brownstone work. He seems like a nice outgoing guy.
Dave: I think Bill is running against Al. There was another woman a month or two ago. Last name was Wright I believe. Both Bill and “Wright” were engaging, well-dressed, had copious campaign material and said hello to me first before I could say something to them. I don’t know either of them from Adam, but they left a good impression with me.
Benson: Al Vann is a waste of space. I’ll take a complete unknown over him. He doesn’t even get his face in front of a camera or his name in the press like Tish. He is on autopilot. He needs to find another job. Hopefully one wear he can wear his pj’s.
“DH, thanks for organizing. Pete’s was a fantastic venue and I had a great time.”
DH, forgive my poor manners. What Biff said. Pete’s was great. And thanks for calling the car – got me home in about 5 minutes. Much to my surprise, I was totally up for going with you and lechacal, but I had to get home to the CGar-dog.
lechacal, thanks for posting the penguin joke, still ROFL!
You guys sound like a bunch of drunks. My kind of people.
Next time you meet in the Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill vicin, I will join you.
