I’ll be in the City from July 3-9, does anyone want to meet for drinks? My schedule is pretty flexible. July 5th would work, or any day on the weekend. I’ll be staying in Brooklyn, but suggest a time and a place and I can be there.
Eve, Ukelele Ike, manhattan, SaxFace, Lux Fiat, SuaSponte, Maeglin, Biggirl…aw, heck, there’s too many of you to name.
Sure! We can do a “Thursday SDMB bar night get-together” on July 5th.
I’ll pass the word along to Maeglin, who is afk for a while…
I believe that I am the NY Doper in charge of alcoholism.
As it happens, Sue Dunhym will also be in town at that time, through the 8th.
So tell us what you want to do. If you’re thinking bars and general debauchery, I’m your guy (heh). If you want to do the whole dinner thing, we may want to get some input from a civilized person.
That weekend is the Yankees/Mets series, so going to a ball game is right out. But the city will be pretty empty, so anything else you want to do (museums, etc.) should be OK.
Actually there are other things I’d like to do with Maggie, but hell, getting her drunk will do just fine.
[sub]Or be a good start.[/sub]
I’m in.
Sua
Sheesh. Sua AND Manny.
I wish I was going to New York
:: kicking dirt ::
I was already in for seeing Sue (makes it sound like a criminal sentence in Saudi Arabia, but I digress), so this is a sorta double-your-pleasure type thing. Which I suppose would get me in even worse trouble.
I don’t suppose we could get Eve to join us, could we?
:eek: So to speak, eh?
Color me jealous! Mags :Send my greetings to Manny, Biggirl etc. and a generous grope to Sua
I think Pucette’s on to something, because if memory serves, Billdo has already instructed the New Yorkers to hold Thursday, July 5, as a drinking night, since Sue will be in town.
Frankly, this is the best social situation I’ve ever had. Billdo informs me of where and when to show up, and I show up, and drinks are being served. It’s a wonderful world. Everyone should be so lucky.
Cool. If it happens, I’ll make an effort to be there. Assuming I’m allowed to know where you’ll be, that is. 
So to speak? So to speak?!!! How dare you! I believe I was quite explicit in expressing my desire to ravage Magdalene. The nerve.
The proper emphasis is important, dontcha think?

Miss Golden regrets she’s unable to dine that day, Maggie.
Miss Golden regrets she’s unable to dine that day.
I am sorry to be delayed—but last evening down in Lover’s Lane I strayed, Maggie . . .
Miss Golden regrets she’s unable to dine that day.
When I woke up and found my dream of love had flown, Maggie,
I ran for the man who had led me so far astray.
And from under my velvet gown I took a gun and shot my lover down, Maggie—
Miss Golden regrets she’s unable to dine that day.
Then the mob came and grabbed me and took me from the jail, Maggie—
They’ve strung me upon the willow across the way.
In this moment before I die, I’m lifting up my lovely head to cry, Maggie,
“Miss Golden regrets she’s unable to dine that day.”
For the record: I have no objections to letting this Dopefest turn into a Gropefest. As Long as * I * am there. Gotta get our priorities straight.
Though in the preview, I saw that Eve may well not attend. Sorta ruins the sentiment – she’s kinda cute. 
Someone buy her a drink for me…
We were both suffering sinus infections when we had dinner together, so she declined alcohol altogether and I barely made it through one beer!
Hooray!
Manhattan, I am in your capable hands. I know NYC pretty well, and don’t need a guide to musuems, etc. A trip to Ellis Island is on the agenda for the visit, since I’ve never been. I can be as civilized or uncivilized as the occasion permits, and I am also very excited to meet Sue Duhnym!
I’m sorry you won’t be able to attend, Miss Otis. I mean, Golden.
For the record (and for the eyes of the boyfriend): “All groping and other inappropriate touching [sub]or, indeed, ravaging :melt:[/sub] of SuaSponte will be done solely on behalf of wring and jarbabyj. I am willing to subject myself in this way for the sake of these fine friends who have been so good to me in the past. Heretofore, whereas, ergo, caveat emptor, in flagrante delicto, Illuminati, non bovinus sanctus, no hablo espanol, Amen.”
Thanks for getting in touch with Maeglin, Pucette. I haven’t seen him on AIM for a while.
And pleased to meetcha, Cap’n Crude, OxyMoron, and delphica.
I look forward to being on the East Coast again, and to meeting everyone!
** Mea culpa - but make sure you don’t do it on MY designated day
absolutely, however, make sure you understand that the really good gropes and fondling have come from me
First I was gonna act all bitched that my name was not invoked in the OP, but decided against it…
Then I thought I’d join in the melee of debauchery that is already snowballing in this thread, but my heart (and wit) just wasn’t in it…
So, I’ll just sheepishly raise my hand to say “count me in.” I assume the details will be posted here; if not, include me in the emails, please. Thanks.
[And wow, can’t wait to meet Sue, too.]
I’ve got a houseguest that week, for whom I will be wholly responsible, as a houseguest must be regarded as a rare jewel on a cushion of hospitality.
But keep bumping this; I may be able to stick the guy in a closet or someplace.
Oh,Ike,Ike,Ike, you dear sweet confused thing you. This is a Dopefest. Now’s the time to get your houseguest OUT of the closet, silly
And, god DAMN you look good in a sports jacket…

Nah, I don’t believe in bringing nonDoping friends to a Dopefest…part of the “hospitality” thing.
There we’ll all be, with our thumbs in our beers, and someone will shout out “Satan’s Ass!” or “Scylla’s Armchair!” or “Coldfire on a Motorcycle!” and we’ll all collapse in a fit of the giggles, except for the one poor schtump who has no idea what’s goin’ on.
I don’t know, yelling ‘Satan’s Ass’ seems to be a universally funny thing to say.
