East Coast get-together

[iris]

Most people seem to have agreed on Friday. What would you all like to do?

1. Movie: Better Luck Tomorrow
2. Clubbing/Bars
3. Lunch
4. Dinner
5. Other

Post up what you prefer to do and whether you are coming so we can get back to you individually with a place, time, and a contact number.

[Craig]

Is anybody bringing the video camera for the YellowWorld kick boxing tournament ?

[noname]

I'll be clubbing one way or another
A friend of mine is the opening DJ on the main floor at Exit, so I'd like to be there at around 11
The feature DJ (Ferry Corsten) is one of my favorites, so I wanna be rested to last til 6 am (or later)

It would be nice to meet and greet everyone beforehand. If BLT can be seen on another day, then dinner sounds good.

Gotta work, so lunch isn't good

[applehead]

what happened to the other thread?
well, i'm up for anything besides
clubbing and loud bars.
lounges are fine.
dinner or lunch is good.

I definitely don't want people to feel "grateful" for time spent on the site. It would be nice, however, if members who've endured some technical problems wouldn't confront me as their enemy or something. :D

So dinner on Friday good for everyone? And those who want to go clubbing afterwards can split up. Exit sounds awesome. Those who don't can chill at a lounge or something - Evelyn Lounge is great for that.

Don't worry! I'll be back. I have to fly back at least once a month for business.

[deez nuts]

have a safe flight, iris.

For Exit, to get on the guestlist ($25 admission, as opposed to $30-35 regular), either:
1. email names to: list@unitedunderground.com
2. if you're registered on ClubPlanet, sign up at http://www.clubplanet.com/guestlists

I hope it works.
I might also be able to take a few in with me.


btw, some other clubbing options for that night:
1. Centro-Fly, with Hernan Cattaneo, South America's #1 DJ
2. Arc, with Danny Tenaglia spinning midnight - 10 am
3. a bunch of Asian parties - info at http://www.clubzen.com

If anyone wants details on those, let me know.
I'm set on Exit for myself though.

I'll probably hit Exit. Is there a cover for girls? Been wanting to go for a while. Too bad Sound Factory closed down. I have some friends bartending at Centro-fly so that could be a good alternative. They say it's really fun.

Other good choices:

1. Filter 14 - Hip-hop night on Fridays, House on Saturdays
2. 420 - good cross between bar and club (bar upstairs/club downstairs)
3. Opal and Turtle Bay - both on East side, good dancing and music.

You probably need really special connections to get comped for Exit

I can do either, with 8 pm preferable
But I'll do whatever the majority wants

If 7's a problem I don't mind it being pushed up if we can include more people.

For the 18th (next week)... if enough people are going to the Roxy (to see PVD), there will be plenty of time while waiting in line, to chat and get to know each other. :P

Don't worry, nothing happened. No one was motivated enough to arrange something. =) Being that I think most people in school have finals coming... maybe post mid-May would be good? Weather-wise, too.

Next Sunday might be a good chance, at that festival in Union Square, if there's somewhere where we could separate ourselves from the sizable crowd that will be there (if last year was any indication)

How does that sound?

[iris]

I will be coming back into the city this coming weekend (May 8th - 12th) for a press conference. I am commanding Meena to get her skinny ass out of her apartment and meet me for lunch.

All other YWers welcomed. Jose, LW, CSB, etc. Can't wait to meet new members also.

Meena, as an incentive, I'm telling you now that I chopped my hair off. 12 inches baby!

Random: Anyone else thinking of doing that, please donate to the campaign "Locks of Love (http://www.locksoflove.com/)," which makes wigs for children with cancer out of the donated hair.

[lethal]

I might be able to make it...depends on how well the studying goes.

[yoMAMA]

EAST SIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDE

[ChinaLama]

ewww...if iris has no hair, she's uglier than ever. what's the incentive for going out to see ugly yw girls?

but then again, we owe it to pat to give him that yw pic, right?

[deez nuts]

you're so pushy iris. we'll see, i can't look past tomorrow.

[ChinaLama]

if meena cooks those two dogs she rescued, i would definitely come. wait, iris is the better cook. ok, if iris cooks the two dogs that meena rescues, then i'll risk sars or tuberculosis or whatever iris has to get to eat dog meat.
also i think we should do a yw karaoke. and i'm sure meena would concur. :D

[deez nuts]

damn news travels fast here.

[noname]

May 8 is a possibility, but I'll be out of town on the other days
Anyone wanna do a happy-hour/afterwork thing, as at least part of the program?
Here's an option with a mostly Asian crowd, if people so prefer - http://www.taogroove.net/tg/html/doc.htm

Oh wait, that's at the same time as the YW chat. But opportunities to chat are every week, whereas opportunities to meet and greet in the flesh are not as plentiful.

Or if there's enough interest in doing it later, and if I finish with packing early enough, Filter 14, Centro-Fly, and Discotheque have good stuff going on

[applehead]

i'd love to meet for lunch.

aw. ny misses you!

As long as it doesn't conflict with a Nets home game... which it shouldn't if it's this weekend... and have decent notice...

[iris]

I have to leave on the 11th now for a press conference in L.A., so what day do y'all want to meet up? I will not be free on Friday or Saturday evening.

I'd love to meet with the West Coast YWers when I'm in L.A. but unfortunately, I'll be in and out and at a studio the entire time.

[applehead]

so iris. i'm confused.
when are you free while in nyc?

come on now. i wouldn't ask for nobu if the only thing i wanted was sushi/sashimi.

i was craving the miso broiled cod, monkfish pate and the salmon tartar. the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno is pretty good though. not too fond of their lobster dishes.

lethal, yo can put the tab on plastic or mebbe your woman could expense it since she works for zagat? so it's all good? **grin**

i actually miss that place after being sick of it for a long time. maybe cuz it's the idea of someone else paying? the ex and i practically lived there for dinner for a whole month. who knows we can invite her out, too. maybe she can pay for the bill.

or we can hit up lugers for their lunch porterhouse burger special.

fucking mad hungry now.

it's all good lethal. yo can just buy me a 5 dollar bowl of cha siu tong mein and i'll be happy as a clam.

Where is Avalon located? Didn't ever hit up Limelight. Was thinking Suede or Noca, but I'd like a place with no cover or else we got to go early enough not to be charged an arm and leg.

Any bar/club is cool with me. Prefer that over a full club. Is Avalon a full club?

Somewhere around the village (east or west ok), Chelsea, or E. 45th is cool.

I mean, if you like creative, I was gonna suggest kite-flying at the Cloisters since it's gettin' windy...but hard to fly kites and drink screwdrivers at the same time...

I would be very down with just a drinkie/eatie if there were to be some table talking going on...

It's hard to carry convos in clubs...and spending your money when the music might suck never feels kosher...now a drink in my hand, THAT I can control!

Did any of the NYC/NJ heads get to the festival?

I thought it was gonna be a rainout, so I took my time doing laundry.

Then I realized coming from Brooklyn on the train would get me there just when it would be wrapping up, so I let it go.

How was it? Just thinking about the food that was there has me in apoplexy...

jose, steve and i went together.
i think we went on the wrong day.
apparently saturday had more

Any east-coasters want to get together in Manhattan at 7:00pm for dinner? Place to be determined.

[deez nuts]

i'm out.

[etcj]

Would have been nice to meet NYC folks, but kinda short notice for East Coast folks in general...but hey, Chinatown Bus makes the trip mega-cheap.

[Irezumi Kiss]

I'm always up for a eatie n' drinkie!

Can we make it for 8 instead of 7?

some of us galley slaves have night jobs and usually get out around 9ish, but I could get out a little earlier with advance notice.

Are we still fishing around for a joint? I could suggest a few, if we're talking Asian cuisine and good table space...

[noname]

I might be able to make it then

Maybe if we meet to eat a little later, perhaps some who want could catch an after-work party (which often take place on Thursdays) first. Get the drinking on first, then the dancing, then the dining :D
Here's a possibility: http://www.clubzen.com/event_view.php?id=2135
There could be others as well.
Just a thought. Would be interesting to see if we could find each other there. Anyways, sound appealing to anyone?

shameless plug:
For those over 21 who can, come to Guernica the night before (wed, Oct 15) for a proper warm-up to the meetup. Or perhaps it could be a meetup before the meetup. Or something like that.
I'll be spinning there 10-12. If you don't like the tunes, or if I mess up the mixes too many times, you can go upstairs for a more loungy area.
I can get you all in for free :p

Ok, back to my hole now...

Too bad, Tao. If we all DO get together, we'll pour some Zinfandel on the ground for ya!

:D

So, 8:00 seems like a good time to start!

Now, cuisine and venue of choice?

I eat Asian food, like, 90% of the time, so if any of you guys wanna go that route, I'm not one of those non-Asian people who'll be asking you, "what's THAT?" I'm also open to anything else; I'm not picky at all and I love bopping in new places!

As for the place, I know of lots of joints, but I can suggest these if we're a party of six or better and don't have the kind of loot to hit up the Nobu-leagues:

FILIPINO/THAI/MALAYSIAN-CHINESE & VEGETARIAN
Dragonfly
47-49 7th Ave S
New York,*NY*10014
Phone: (212) 255-2848

JAPANESE (TAPAS)
Typhoon Lounge
79 Saint Marks Place
New York,*NY*10003-7955
Phone: (212) 979-2680

JAPANESE (STEAK/SHABU-SHABU/SUSHI)
Lan*
56 Third Ave
New York,*NY*10003
Phone: (212) 254-1959
Fax: (212) 477-5561

KOREAN
Hanbat Restaurant*
53 W. 35th St.
New York,*NY*10001-2219
Phone: (212) 629-5588

Most of the East Coast heads might know of these joints, maybe you like 'em or don't like 'em, but for me, they're good on hitting the cost, space and casual atmosphere trifecta. (my friends also work there, so I'm shamelessly giving them business) If anyone wants to do something more premium, I can swing that way too.

[iris]

I love Dragonfly but I've never had Japanese Tapas so I'm voting for Typhoon Lounge.

[ism]

Japanese... Tapas? Is that like Spanish Tapas but with... Japanese ingredients? I'd be down for that.

[Irezumi Kiss]

I think it's just Japanese dishes done tapas style, also certain fusion dishes you won't find in a "typical" Japanese place. They change up the menu from time to time, too.

They even have these cute little shabu-shabu clay firepots that can be shared by two people. If we end up going there, I'm definitely doing that!

I'm always kinda hazy on trying to describe "tapas" to someone — since it's traditionally made for Spanish food. I think in the case of Typhoon, it's just the serving style. I dunno. Most of the time I don't eat there, but just drink. Every once in a while, I'll get a dish to eat. When I'm there with three or more friends, it's more fun to order full courses. It's also verrry easy on the change purse.

Cool joint, but not the only apple in the basket! I'm open to any other suggestions!

Does Typhoon Lounge have enough seats for everyone?

The site was down yesterday and I was like, "shit, looks like I can scratch Thursday night!"

I'm in — I'm always being a nightcrawler on Thursdays anyway — but since it looks like there's only going to be no more than four of us, maybe five at best, I would suggest that Dragonfly would be a better choice since they have couches in the downstairs bar area and has a more intimate feel for a small group.

However, Iris, since you seem to be the details lady, I'll graciously defer to your choice!

either place you pick, I probably will join you guys around 8:30ish, I'll be jetting my office pretty close to 8:00.

[iris]

I'd rather not go to Dragonfly. I love it but I live nowhere near it and I'll be heading down there this morning. I don't want to go downtown twice.

I'm kinda feeling Carribean or Latin tonight. How does Ola sound?

OLA
304 E. 48th St.
New York, NY 10017
Phone: (212) 759-0590

I fear it might be kinda of pricey so let me know if y'all want to go somewhere else.

Another choice is to meet up for dessert at 9:00pm at:

Rice to Riches

New York, NY 10012

I love rice pudding.

Ola is noice. I work on 48th and 6th...if there, I won't have to taxi my ass downtown playing catch up!

When you mean "pricey," d'you mean like over $40 per person pricey? Not that I'm slumming on cash tonight, just wanna know what to expect since I've never been there.

[deez nuts]

$40 per person is pricey?

[TTChino]

awww I wanna go tooooo

[Irezumi Kiss]

$40 per person is pricey?

Depends on where you go and what you order, I guess...

When I'm doing Asian with a group of friends, if they're Asian, we usually end up doing the share thing and it all breaks even Steven.

Every other cuisine is done more or less individual. If the joint is close to suit & tie but not tuxedo style, I can safely factor in $20 for entree & appetizer and another $20 for drinx. Those kind of places you have your one-and-a-half hour dinners and then you move on. Other joints are set up to keep you there and maybe if you're feeling the night you stay and get your drink on. It's all good, you just gotta know what you want. Forty simoleons is not true "pricey" but I can take that salad and stretch it over three joints instead of one when I wanna bop around a bit for liquid refreshment instead of staying put.

[deez nuts]

you can't get full and loaded on $20 bucks for drinks and $20 bucks for appetizer and entree.

sheeeeeit. me and ttchino drop hell of more than that just on happy hour.

[TTChino]

Hmmmm 40 bucks is hard if you wanna hit a kickin spot in NYC. Hit a good bar with a nice crowd and you're lookin at 8-10 bucks for a drink. But that's really only asian bars. I think typical caucasian bar would be like 4-6 bucks for a drink.

It's all good, it depends on the circumstances...where do you hang mostly, what do you eat and how much do you eat, what do you drink and how much do you drink and how long do you stay at any given place?

I work late, so I generally miss the happy hour thing. Also I will eat a good lunch that carries me thru the day and most of the early nite, so when I step out of the office and go get my chill on, there's no need to eat and I mostly drink until around 3 in the morning when I get the munchies again. And there's plenty of all-nite spots to hit for quality grub.

Most of my spots are where my friends work and sometimes I get the frequent flier discounts. Plus, I know the drinks to get that don't tap your barrel and still gives you a nice floating sensation. I am in no hurry to spend money when I have the whole night to sit back and relax.

[noname]

Aw man, so I'd have to trek uptown and all the way to the east (ok, not quite, but close enough)?
That's ok, I'll do whatever works best for everyone else

[deez nuts]

it's all good whatever gets the job done, i suppose.

but, it's too much hassle for me when you're out with your boys and constantly checking prices and your wallet.

[deez nuts]

oh and have fun tonight, guys

;]

[TTChino]

heh heh

Well, I drink a good amount of liquor. When I go out, I mostly go out to the bars, lounges, clubs. Very rarely restaurant. I guess some examples would be Eugene's, Mad 28, C-fly, Metronome, Punch, Zen X, or Blue. Bob's, Pravda, or Carnival if I'm downtown and trying to stay away from that whole asian scene. There's a pretty good bar on Bowery & Spring too, but it's always way too packed. Sometimes I goto cheap caucasian bars like Art Bar, Sake Bar.com, or Climate 8. Those last 3 would probably be the cheapest for happy hour drinks or a more intimate setting. I usually blow around 100-150 on drinks then grab some ghetto food like Castle or BK's or Wung Jo. And those spots I hit, aren't even considered the "up-scale" expensive spots. All depends how much liquor you can hold I guess. But at let's say average 8 bucks for drinks, and with friends buying rounds of shots, buy 2 rounds for 5 people and thats already 80 bucks.

Bah...Rice to Riches ain't no good. Been there, not impressed.

Good vibe there.

I guess as I get older I become more comfortable with having a "slow hand".

When I was younger (I'm 33 now), I went out like crazy, spent mad green and got drunk just to do it and I didn't really notice the things I notice now. Like cost/quality of drink ratio. Case in point, recently there was a Flip party at Dragonfly and when I rolled in there, the whole joint was deep with bodies and they were all CRUNK off their asses. I got to the bar after wading thru a sea of borderline jaibait belly flesh and there were people (mostly dudes) doing shot after shot of Hypnotiq or whatever mixed drink is hot to do shots with...and I swear to Gizzod multiple $20 bills were flying every five minutes to pay for these drinks. More than what I would care to think about spending was thrown down within half and hour. And even though everyone was feeling no pain, I'm saying to myself, "Are you even enjoying what you're drinking? Do you even care?" I think most of the guys just wanted to impress the girls (who were fine as fuck, I'll admit) and the girls were getting their free drinks outta it, too...but...

Not hatin' or anything, but it got me thinking about when I used to get wild and how easy it would have been for my ass to get rolled for it, too...

My style these days are East Village dive bars, wine bars like Veloce and Japanese izakayas like Decibel or Sakagura. I stick to mainly sake drinks, wine, maybe the occasional whiskey shot, or boilermaker, or some thick-ass Jamaican rum. Mmmm, yummy. I like hopping unless I'm getting my groove on with someone and generally try to hit up 3 to 5 joints if my pockets are deep enough.

I also like going out four or five times a week on impulses, so it's better for me to know how to spread things out...I'm totally nightcrawler...

It's all good. I like a lot of the places you mentioned, too. I'm either by myself or hanging with friends and there's a different way to roll in both situations..

Wonjo is SO much better than Castle's! Doesn't that shit fuck your stomach up?

[TTChino]

Bah on Hypno, it's just the latest made popular by celebrity rich drink. I drink my Black Label on the rocks or Grey Goose.

I crave castle like crazy when I drink. And yeah it fucks up my stomach.

[noname]

how about meeting and watching the baseball game at the same time?
Q Lounge could work

well, probably late now... maybe next time...

The game was one of the reasons my inner typical male was trying to push us to Dragonfly!

[ism]

Well with the commute time, since I donno what the plan is, I won't be showing up. Have a good time!

[iris]

Okay, we have no solid plan? No opinions?

That's alright and sorry this is coming on the heels of Jose (Just Ism), but I'm having a big, big crisis at work, the firing kind. So I'll have to rain-check it also.

I feel really bad. If we have solid plans next time, I swear I'm there.

Promise. I'm here until Sunday if anyone wants to set something up.



Iris

[Irezumi Kiss]

Hmmm...I wasn't gonna force the issue and thought, "well, even if it's just three of us, it'll still be fun." Then after all the can't make its popped up, I started to feel like it wasn't in the cards...

It would have been nicer to meet more of you guys and do the group thing (no pun intended) since all the dinner venues suggested are way better with a bunch of people together...so, next time is cool. Maybe a Friday or Saturday or Sunday is better, since some of you seem to be in school?

If anybun still wants to chill tonight, I'll be at Dragonfly snackin' on the sata beef! Look for a caramel-colored namja wearing a white bandanna!

Iris, don't sweat the small stuff at your job, and if you got any other thing-thing going on before you leave on Sunday, just throw it up and maybe we can do it again!

[noname]

It was great meeting with Irezumi, and watching the game together, at Dragonfly
I usually root for the Yankees, but seeing both the Red Sox and Cubs go down is heartbreaking. Well, at least I still have a team to cheer for.

So shall we try something for one (or more) of the World Series games?
Q Lounge might be good, with the big (and multiple) screens. You can also shoot pool if you want.
But there's a certainly a great crowd at Dragonfly.
Heck, let's try both!

[deez nuts]

heh 33 ain't that much older than me.

sheeeeit.

i don't go out drinking often cuz of my line of work. but, when i do, i go all out.

edit: we'll do lugers next time ;] when i'm feeling up to meeting new peeps.

[applehead]

iris hope thing worked out at work.

i'll positively, definitely
make it the next time you make plans
for another get together.

[Rogmok]

does everyone already know each other?

anyway, i'm in NYC now.. so i want to go to the next get together too !!

[ism]

Rogmok how long you gonna be here?

Anyway... sorry if my previous message seemed curt. I generally need 1.5 hours if I take pub trans to get to a particular destination in Manhattan and really appreciate a plan. Or at least a meeting place. If something's set, I'll be there.

[noname]

Just wanna see if there's interest...

Anyone up for Q Lounge this Sat (tomorrow), beginning when the game (World Series Game 1) starts, at around 7:30 pm ?
http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7106792

Then there are a whole bunch of options afterwards. B'Lo is next door. Avalon is a block away. Just to name a few...

Irezumi, come so that there is something/someone easy to spot :)

ooooh man, I'd love to do that...BUUUTTT...Jade, the manager at Dragonfly (yeah, I know, I up this place like mad) is having her birthday shindig on Saturday and since I'm a regular, I gots to represent for girlfriend!

However, it doesn't start 'til 10, so maybe I'll pop over after work for a spell.

By the way, cool meeting you last night! I had thought about if anyone would show up when I walked in, but I was so caught up in the energy of watching the game I forgot about it and when you tapped me on the shoulder I was surprised! You left at a good time, it got really nutso later on!

[noname]

No takers for tonight (Saturday)?

Well, I'll be there. Hmm... gotta figure out how you can identify me.
If Irezumi is there, look for the bandana.

There's at least 3 other chances - c'mon there's gotta something that would work out for most of you who are in the area.

There will be games on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
If there is a Game 5, 6, or 7, I'll be away during them, but if enough of you can and want to do something, by all means... anyways...
What's good for you? Any preference for venue?
For Wednesday, I think I'll be at Guernica. After the game, go downstairs for the Dreamscape trance party.

[ellsworth81]

someday i'd show up ... but that would require me to take the chinatown bus. they seem shady for some reason.

[lethal]

Chinatown bus is fine. I've taken it a few times.

First come first serve and cheap!

However, from Boston or DC to NYC, Greyhound is running $20 each way specials, which is the same as the Chinatown bus. Good deal and more reliable with schedules.

[deez nuts]

Q lounge and dragonfly sucks. not my scene.

[amietron]

tickets were over a $1G for game 1 and 2. he said maybe game 6 or 7. very short notice, so we'll see.

i'm here for good... or for a year at least.

[ellsworth81]

coupled with my lack of knowledge of manhattan's layout, it could be trouble.
it's definitely cheap though. if there's any weekend type event set in stone tho, then i may show up

What makes them suck? I can't speak for Q Lounge but Dragonfly is the bomb!

And where do you hang when you wanna eat/drink?

Iris >> When are you coming back?

[iris]

Possibly for Halloween, but the my bosses are throwing a party in St. Louis, so I might have to be there. Don't know yet.

i like the VIP lounge, paradise club and private eyes.

if not there, i like to hit up the dive bars. drunken irish people are more fun to drink with.

[kimpossible]

why hello there :new_all_c

[deez nuts]

why hello there :new_all_c

irish pubs rock.

:new_all_c

it all boils down to a dive bar, irish pub or a titty bar for me. all i need nowadays are my drinking buddies, alcohol and/or titties. the rest such as ambiance, atmosphere blah blah are inconsequential.

It's only been a few days so far, but we'll see. Been thinking about it since the temp dropped the first time a month ago. I finally took my ass to Bed Bath & Beyond last Friday to get it because after it went below 30 and the snow started coming in, I told myself that was the last night I'd be shivering underneath two blankets while wearing sweats. The heater in my room is as warm as a witch's you-know-what and it wasn't cutting it despite my landlord fixing it.

69 bucks and you know what? It's almost TOO good. I didn't notice how well it was until an hour after I had it on while playing games on my computer and then I was like, "shit, I'm fuckin' hot!"

The thing is that it circulates the air in the entire room and keeps it at a constant, moving heat. Those stand-alone oil heaters you might be used to are NOTHING on this. I had it on max high when I got it because I needed to break it in and I wasn't used to the settings (it's a fan, so initially the air it blows is cool so it kinda fools you at first). Now I have it on a low setting of 4 and it's like this — I was in a tank top and shorts. Sub-fuckin'-blime.

Best of all, it's portable, non-metallic and LIGHT as a muthafucker. If you really wanted to go totally anal the next time you drop by your friends' cold-ass crib, bring it along and watch them try to pry it from your paws.

Maybe too much of a good thing. Because of the snow and because of the heater, I stayed in all weekend and didn't go out at all, not for chores, shopping, movies or bar hoppin', only except to get groceries and that's one block down the street.

I was supposed to go hunting for rice cookers and digital cameras, but by gum, that heater done turned me sloth!

Since I work nights and keep it on low when I am home, it shouldn't be sucking up too much juice to be a burden.

dude that sounds like it is a good buy. my apt's heat is actually TOO hot. i live in an old building with the boiler room heat and i guess it works well. i even have to open the window a crack. even with all the recent snow we just had. i will keep the vornado in mind if i move to a cold-ass apt in the future tho. thanks for the report.
