And we have to make sure there is going to be more than one bartender!!!!
chicken…If someone keep taking the eggs from your nest day after day, then why do you keep laying them??? 🙂
Yes, yes, let’s do it again!
I told Biff I’d be happy to spearhead our next gathering. I’d like to look for a restaurant garden where the ambient noise factor might be lessened.
Donatella! How could I have forgotten you were there? Forgive me, the brain cells are dying by the thousands every day.
I’m going to be glued to the tv for the Battlestar Galactica finale tonight, too. I love that show. They better not have one of those “Dallas” it-was-all-a-dream endings.
Great to meet you as well, Montrose!
I’ll be hitting you up for tips on the best West Indian food places in CH – know there are lots in your neighborhood and it’s my favorite cuisine.
DIBS, although that is on the face of it a very heart-warming story, allow me to play devil’s advocate.
If your owner hasn’t turned up where you expected after a week then you should learn your lesson. Keeping it up for a decade is just plain obstinate!
“OK…so where’s the lurker who showed up and said she had never logged in before??? Scary!!!!!!”
She was very sweet. Poor thing – all us regulars surrounded her and were looking at her like she was an alien and we couldn’t grasp the concept that someone could just read posts and not have to open their big piehole and chime in.
Graet to see everyone. Had a great time talking with Wasder, Montrose, Amzi, brg, DIBS, cobblehiller and BH, mopar, benson, Biff, Mr. B, Senator street, and many others. I think our ranks were in the 25-30 range. Wanted to chat with denton more but he left early. We do need to make this semi-regular.
Has our silent lurker posted yet today?
I had a great time, too. I heartily enjoyed reconnecting with those I had met before, and thoroughly enjoyed making new friends. I managed to only have 2 glasses of wine, one of which got spilled, and there was no standing on tables and belting out a drunken rendition of the Habanera from Carmen.
I’m sorry I didn’t get to chat with absolutely everyone, but I had a great time. I have to admit, when Biff introduced me to Simon and wife, I stared at him and them blankly, as I had no idea who in the world they were. Simon joined my group later, and was a very interesting man with a lot of world travel and experience. He also loves Brooklyn, and he was a great conversationalist.
I enjoyed reconnecting with Cobblehiller and BH, Biff, DIBS, cmu, wasder and slopefarm, Mr.B (I didn’t see Mrs. B until you guys walked out the door), infinite jester, BRG, rob, mopar and Steve, and johnife. I saw, but did not get a chance to speak to Denton and Mrs. D, and Adam Dahill.
I had a great time with my new friends, too: Amzi Hill, Benson, lechacal, Shahn Anderson, etson, sixdaysandcounting, and the anonymous lurker from Carroll Gardens. If I forgot anyone, I’m sorry, I’ll probably remember as soon as I post this. I met the chicken, but we never got to talk, and I missed Baby Wasder altogether.
Let’s do this again late spring, early summer, and have it where we can go outside. My only complaint last night is that it was too loud, and I had to shout all night. I’m hoarse, too. But it was great!
