Back to Blondies -- NYC DopeDinner Thu. 6/27

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

Hello all you Dopers out there in New York-land!

My pal Gorgie’s thread about a Saturday dopefest later this summer reminded me that we haven’t had one of our ordinary Thursday night DopeDinners in a DAMN long time. I also realize that I haven’t had chicken wings in a DAMN long time.

In an effort to remedy both of these conditions, I’m proposing we return to our old haunt Blondies this Thursday, June 27 at 6:30 in the evening. It’s on 79th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam, accessable from the 1/2 (79th St.) and B/C (81st St.) subways.

I’d love to see the old gang, and I think there may be a few new New York dopers around. (I, for one would love meet LolaCocaCola and hear her story of the previously-believed-mythical New York jaywalking ticket.)

So, gang, what say you?

Welp, I am a shy demure lil’ thang.

cough

Yah reet!

:wink:

#3

Sounds good to me.

#4

A hankering for wings have I. Be there I will try. Why, yes, I did just see Star Wars again. Why do you ask?

#5

You know why I love you, Pucette?

It’s because whenever I suggest going out for chicken wings, I can hide behind on your love for wings, and blame my interest wings on you.

And LolaCC, I saw your thread on getting a jaywalking ticket and wondered where you could be located because I thought that things like that simply didn’t happen in New York City.

F’Nord.

Well, the unfortunate incident occurred when I was visiting a friend in LIC and I crossed Queens Blvd.

Cop: “Ma’am, do you realize how many people are killed on Queens Blvd each year- bla bla bla…”

LCC: :o

And after I was done visiting my friend, I noticed two cop vehicles still there handing out tickets like it was xmas candy. :mad:

I’m in.

I’ll be there fer sure. I’ll bring Arthur if I can, and maybe Jeffy too.

#10

STOP TRYING TO GET ME FIRED!!!

If I can talk Zoltarb into going with me, then I’ll go. 'Cuz I’m a dirty stay-out and I cannot be trusted without a chaperone.

He’s no longer Heartache, he’s registered now and he’s Zoltarb. Don’t ask me why he picked that name.

#11

Don’t worry, Biggirl, you won’t be so bad without my bad influence there.

#12

Just FYI (and in response to your comment in the other thread), The restaurant part of Blondies is largely smoke-free. The bar area can get smoky sometimes, but it is fairly well set off from the restaurant. Love to see you there.

#13

Count me in!

#14

Ooh. I am so good at the quick schedule change.

I’m in too.

#15

bump

#16

I’m there.

#17

I really wish I could, but this months money crunch is a little too tight. Hopefully, I’ll catch y’all next time around.

Ah shucks, I’m gonna miss hunky Garderene!

Gotta do some last minute shopping for my trip to Disney. Have I mentioned I’m going to Disneyworld? I’m leaving this Sunday. Am I excited? No, oh no. Not one tiny bit. Just because it’s my first plane ride ever and my first trip to Disney ever. And, I don’t care if I sound like a baby-- I’m getting my picture taken with Micky and Goofy at a character breakfast and I’m really, really looking forward to the huge arcade they have there-- do you think it is possible to spend 2 or 3 hunnit in a video arcade? And the hotel we’re staying at (Carribean Something Or Other) has a huge water slide and a waterfall and pedal boats. And the kids are big enough to leave in the hotel room while Houseman and I check out the Comedy Show Thingy and Rock 'n Roll beach. Just because of all that, it does not mean I’m excited.
Raise a glass or 5 to me.

I’m so not excited I’m yelling!

They’ve got 8trax, a good ole fashion disco with a lighted floor and glitterball. I’m sooo gonna have a blast!
Um, yeah guys. Have fun tonight.

Alas, I am unable to attend this evening’s festivities :(, but I look forward to attending a future gathering. :slight_smile:
