NYC meetup
Anyone up for a little get together in the Big Apple on Friday, July 8th? 8pm? I'm thinking the [url="http://www.hudsonhotel.com/hudson_hotel_hudson_bar.html"] bar at the Hudson[/url] is nice. 356 West 58th Street (Columbus Circle/Time Warner Building area) This may sound silly, but just so we will know eachother, maybe everyone could tie a piece of ribbon or yarn around their wrist. CHANGE OF VENUE - BROOKLYN * The Abbey 536 Driggs Ave. (between N. 7th & N. 8th), Phone: 718-599-4400, Map: Click Here [L Trian to Bedford Ave] The Abbey opened several years ago and is now a non-touristy staple. It has a maroon pool table, a pinball machine, and a an occasionally used DJ's booth populate the back. It is a largish space, and the air conditioning rocks in the summer. Beers start at $4 or so and the bartenders are always competent and often quite friendly. Small but solid tap selection (Guinness, Brooklyn Beers, etc.) and in general, no b.s. or hassles. Definitely worth visiting and the growing gay scene at The Abbey makes this bar even more appealing whether you are straight, gay, or undecided. Plus the jukebox will pleases fans of early 90's indie. ...................... It's a straight shot from Union Square on the L and accessible from the G (Metropolitain Ave) and you can drive to it as well. Jun 19 05 02:21 pm Link no, i think as long as everyone is either naked, wearing nothing but a thong or wearing fake blood and fangs you'll all recognize each other just fine  Jun 19 05 04:02 pm Link Sounds great but the upper west side? Geez, can someones private plane pick me up for the ride up there. Do you pay travel expense? I will take it in free drinks, even though I know I should just drink water. Jun 19 05 04:15 pm Link mark, just wear your thong and all your expenses will be covered Jun 19 05 04:21 pm Link I will wear handcups, I will dress in drag, I will wear angel wings, I will paint myself gold, I will even wear a suit, But a man in a thong is just nasty. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Jun 19 05 04:37 pm Link whatever handcups are, i'm sure they'll be a fine substitute for a thong, as will the rest of your proposed costume. you're excused from thongdom. please show us a handcup photo right away btw Jun 19 05 04:46 pm Link I'll be there- maybe even with bells on!  Jun 19 05 04:46 pm Link I blame it on the diet soda. I quit tonight. But not sure of the correct name but I was..... No that excuse of fingercuffs is not logical.... Your honor ti wasa the nutrasweet and bubbles that messed my mind up. Jun 19 05 04:53 pm Link Posted by marksora: If you have a better idea, let's hear it, but keep in mind there is a subway stop across the street [Columbus Circle - {Blue A,C},{Red 1,9},{Orange B,D}] and it is the very bottom of the upper west side at the southwest corner of the park.

Jun 19 05 05:47 pm Link Plus it's my neighborhood got something to say about it?!!HUH?! huh?! Didn't think so! You just got stood down dude, by a girl! hehe:P Come to my territory- my domain. licks my lips. Muahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Jun 19 05 05:54 pm Link I will check but I am thinking something close to a path train station to make it all fair. Maybe around 14th st or hell's kitchen. close to the subways to allow for the outer limits. But either way, I will drag my body there. Just someone needs to drag me home. I will look into options to make it easy for everyone but we can always do two. I will sacrifice and go out two nights. Jun 19 05 05:56 pm Link Posted by *SerenaBeana*: Wait I need more brain freeze to understand. I will get my dog Hana to translate. Jun 19 05 05:57 pm Link Posted by marksora: Posted by *SerenaBeana*: Wait I need more brain freeze to understand. I will get my dog Hana to translate. well gee thanx;) i think cducowufcoaoefhiuehf Jun 19 05 06:06 pm Link Just think of how bad we will speak once we start drinking.

Easy for you to say. The last time I tried taking the subway every ten minutes the passengers were different ethnicities. I ended up across the river somewhere that was completely demolished and void of people. Jun 19 05 06:36 pm Link Posted by Glamour Studio /Gary: Ask the station agent for a system map, figure out where you are, where you're going, and get off at the right spot (Columbus Circle). Literally millions of people use the subway system every day. It's not that hard. Jun 19 05 07:17 pm Link Why did this get moved to the Buzz Board? Does anyone actually read the Buzz Board forum? I don't usually, but I went looking for my thread. Jun 19 05 07:21 pm Link Because this isn't a general disussion about the industry. it goes here. Jun 19 05 07:22 pm Link Posted by theda: Party popper. Jun 19 05 10:48 pm Link Posted by theda: but it's dead now. no one has posted anything in hours. if it's not general discussion, then there should be a New York section, but it shouldn't be lumped in with casting calls and "look at my pictures" threads Jun 19 05 10:49 pm Link Ched, save yourself, save yourself, THE MODERATORS ARE COMING, Ched, just promise me one thing, one thing, Just keep this thread alive, people will find it, If you make it, people will come, So just stay alive, I will find you, I will find you, Just keep the thread ALIVE. COMING TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU, THE MODERATORS STARING IN LAND OF THE DEAD. Jun 19 05 11:13 pm Link what exactly is it for just to hang out? Jun 19 05 11:26 pm Link If you meet people first then setting up a photoshoot is that much easier. If you see people act maybe a little drunk or with a group then you can see them as they truly are. Plus gosh darn it, do we need an excuse to be friendly. Jun 19 05 11:33 pm Link I might be interested, just lemme know exactly where. I got caught up in all of the replies, I wasn't sure of the place. lol Jun 20 05 09:11 am Link Posted by Bonita: Think of it as networking. Jun 20 05 10:58 am Link Posted by Jessica Musicus: It's the first message at the very top. The bar at the Hudson Hotel, 356 West 58th Street (Columbus Circle/Time Warner Building area), July 8th at 8pm. Jun 20 05 11:04 am Link Posted by marksora: I say we link to it everywhere else we post for the next three weeks. :-P Jun 20 05 11:06 am Link Hey Ched; I am interested to show up. The proposed area is fine with me... just wondering if a location in the photo/fashiondistrict would be more fitting to the "theme"? You know... somewhere around 20th and sixth/seventh aves.? Jun 20 05 12:26 pm Link Posted by Udo R Photography: I think the Hudson is fitting. Lots of celebs, very designer space. Fashion district next time maybe? Let's keep it simple for now though. We can scout some bars there for the next one. Jun 20 05 12:53 pm Link sure i'm game, i wish i would have thought of it. LOL Jun 20 05 01:04 pm Link Posted by Ched: Posted by Udo R Photography: I think the Hudson is fitting. Sure... no problem at all! Jun 20 05 01:09 pm Link Yeah, I'd be into popping off for a pint. Jun 20 05 01:19 pm Link Hey would you accept a "Can't shoot worth crap", Amateur, unprofessional, rabble rouser (other people's opinion, not mine) person from NJ? If so, I might be able to swing it. Of Course, I hate the subway. Can't we all meet somewhere near Penn Station. Then I only need to remember one stop to get home :-P Jun 20 05 01:25 pm Link I don't see excluding anyone as a good course of action. And if you want help getting back to Penn Station I'm sure someone can show you the way. Jun 20 05 03:17 pm Link bring it forward a week and I'll pop my head around the door. Jun 20 05 03:41 pm Link Posted by *!photofashion!*: I'd like to, but the first friday of every month is the 2600 meeting. Maybe we can make this a regular thing if it goes well and you can catch it next time. Jun 20 05 07:50 pm Link Hi Are models invited? I might be able to make it! Jun 20 05 07:56 pm Link Posted by AnnaMarie: Yeah, come on and bring yourself. ;-) Jun 20 05 08:06 pm Link i might stop by but what are you guys will be wearing to recognize each other?? )) photographer's black uniform?Jun 20 05 10:02 pm Link Posted by vlad voloshin: well, the original post said... This may sound silly, but just so we will know eachother, maybe everyone could tie a piece of ribbon or yarn around their wrist. Or maybe just all the photographers wear your memory stick lanyards. :-) Jun 21 05 12:20 am Link |
