Kabbes in NY DopeDinner -- Fri 7/25

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

As mentioned in this thread, kabbes will be coming across the pond to New York for a training course later this month.

In hopes of giving him some more useful training than boring work seminars, we’re going to throw a New York DopeDinner in his honor (or at least use him as an excuse for a DopeDinner).

We’re planning for a dinner at 7:00 on Friday, July 25 at Cowgirl Hall of Fame, 519 Hudson St (at West 10th), 1/9 to Christopher Street. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Cowgirl HOF, it’s known far and wide for its introduction to New York of a Texas favorite, Frito pie (a bag of corn chips split open and drenched with chili), as well as various tasty drinks served in mason jars.

After dinner, we’ll go to one of several bars that are favorites of the New Yorkers (or perhaps somewhere new), to be determined based on the interests and composition of the crowd.

So, who’s interested in throwing kabbes off his numbers for a night?

C’mon, it’ll be a hell of an evening. If you’re all good, I’ll even show you the infamous belly-popper trouser trick.

Umm

According to my calander 7/23 is a Wednesday. Are you using some weird British calender?

4

I was going to say the same thing, because Cosmo is throwing a little gettogether on Sat the 26.

We’ll keep this in mind, Bill, if you can figure out exactly which reality to intend to do this in.

5

Oh Crud-o. I screwed up the date. It’s actually Friday, July 25, not Wednesday, July 23.

Perhaps I’ll see if a kindly moderator will be able to change the title.

6

Done.

7

Great, now Gorgon Heap and I will look really strange.

Oh well.

I may be able to attend.

8

Mayyyybe.

9

I can make it but I may have to bring my freaky, non-Doper husband who has (and will continue to) resisted all efforts to assimilate him. Don’t hate him, just pity him.

I’ll dress like a sexpot so you won’t notice.

10

Oh come on, whadda you mean now?

Thanks UncleBeer for the assist.

11

people, go meet Kabbes, for he is smrt.

12

I dunno, Cowgirl Hall of Fame is almost three full blocks from my apartment.

Well, OK.

Not so sure about Canby, though. I believe she has to work.

13

Please don’t try to get him a commemorative “New York New York” Officially Sanctioned Fanny Pack.

Just trust me.

14

Just out of curiousity, why are we taking an out-of-towner to a place that serves Frito Pie and liquor in Mason jars? I never show up in San Antonio with a hankering for properly-chilled martinis and foxtrotting till dawn in white tie and tails.

No criticism implied; just wonderin.’

15

I’m in, and potentially with the OxyBF too.

16

Ike, although it’s not in his location line it appears Kabbes is from the UK, so I think we have wide latitude to offer Americana - I don’t think we’re giving coals to the man from Newcastle.

17

Ah, okay, gotcha.

Again, NO criticism was implied. God forbid Billdo gets piqued and leaves the organization of these affairs to, uh, me.

18

I’d love to meet kabbes, even if it means having dinner with you clowns.

:wink:

19

You mean that America isn’t just one homogenous place? They have different stuff in different bits? Good heavens.

You’ll be telling me next that Africa isn’t just all one thing.

But I digress. Thanks for the support folks. Looking forward to it more and more!
