For details on how this all started check out this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33299](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33299) I’m starting this new thread because, frankly, my presence is too often ignored on this board. The place: El Viejo Yayo 40 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 The time: After work, of course! Attendees: Definite-- Houseman, Biggil, Wonko the Sane, Soulsling. Tentative-- Lux Fiat, stuyguy, Green Bean and Uke Ike. Please post if you are coming, or if your not, or if you wish you were. Show me love please, I’m feeling neglected. P.S., I’ve got to make reservation a few days ahead, so I’d like a head count. ---

The 15th? That’s a Friday, is it not? I work second shift, so I will not be able to throw down with everyone, since I don’t get off work until about midnight. My heart is heavy, but I hope y’all will raise a glass for me in my absence. ---

> [@](#): > > scaredy cat! Park Slope is only two stops away from Manhattan on the D train. So I should park in Manhattan and take a train to Brooklyn? This sounds more complicated than I care to get involved in, but I’ll think about it. If you can rustle up good _driving_ directions, then I’m a definite maybe. ---

Hey Biggirl - It was nice to see you on the street this morning! Congrats on the new job. As you know, I won’t be able to make it (damn), but I hope you guys have a great time. ---

I’ll be there. Is it a Friday? What’s the cross street of the restaurant? I’ll see if I can convince Billdo to abandon his wild bohemian lifestyle for an evening to accompany me, **Davewoo** : Where are you coming from? I drive to to Park Slope all the time, and it’s easy. Easier than getting into Manhattan, that’s for sure! **Biggirl** : Where’d Pink Slinky go? I obviously missed something. ---

**Green Bean** – Biggirl ate Pink Slinky with some fava beans and a nice chianti. **SaxFace** – You know I’m bummed. **Dave** – Come on, you can do it. I have faith in your navagational skills. **Cajun Man** – Are you and Dr.Matrix comming? It won’t be the same without youse guys. (Hey, it’s Brooklyn) ---

He can only dream of being as witty and urbane as his lovely wife. Just one of the dangers of sharing a computer at home. ---

The Attendees so far: Houseman and Biggirl w/Houseboy and Littlegirl (gotta feed the kids). Moe Capacitor Green Bean and, possibly Billdo. Green, have you convinced DAVEW that it is safe to wander out of Manhattan? Cajun Man and Dr. Matrix Wonko the Sane and Chris. If you’re coming and not on the list, please post here. If you are not coming and are on the list, you better not tell me 'cause it’ll just make me sad. ---

Dave hasn’t replied yet telling me where he is coming from, so I can’t tell him how easy it is to get to the Slope from there. What time we doin’ this thing? (I have to be in PA early the next morning.) ---
