Hmmmm. What happened? I woke up this morning and realized I’m still alive. And I still have my home. And I still have my job. And I see many other of my cherished fellow ‘Stoners around too. There’s daveinbedstuy, dittoburg, SnarkSlope, TownhouseLady, PitBullNYC, z, and even Mr. B himself posting today. I thought October 16th was it for all of us. But since we still have another 13+ hours to go, let’s try to get through this together and continue with our plans to meet tonight at 6:30pm (or drop by later if you can’t make that time) at Union Hall in Park Slope.

  1. STILL ALIVE! In fact I am ecstatic this morning. The last debate was hurdled by man Barack and all is smooth sailing into the election. The indian summer weather is cheering my soul and my house is nearly ready for me to occupy. So yes, it is October 16th and I feel fine.

    But really the point of all of this for me, as stated previously, is that through thick or thin we need to stick together and keep our neighborhoods and communities strong. Gatherings like tonight’s will probably be even more necessary than ever if things go downhill economically as they appear to be doing. As somebody not connected in any way to financial services, I must say that my take on the state of the economy vis a vis Brooklyn is more nuanced than many. I know we are in for hard times but I also know that there are so many amazing people living in Brooklyn that we will survive and thrive.

  2. “Bars in Massachusetts close at 1:00.”

    And they shut down the subway in Boston *before* they close the bars. It’s some weird Puritan thing they have going on.

  3. This obsession with the What has gone too far. The man or woman was for the most part right about his predictions. Dave for some crazy reason can’t even admit that. Even the owner of this blog has said he’s been right. And at this point, if we started a pool I would side with the What with his/her prediction that the trading will be halted at least once before the end of the year.

    Now, I even took some of the What’s advice on getting rid of my Euros- that’s already paying off. Now people either take his advice or move on- nothing to see here except your housing prices falling.

  4. Check, cobblehiller still here. (Just ducking the increasingly angry/distressing tone of the comments.)

    I_haz quit ya bragging! I still only haz one (rented) toilet!
