Yes, after a summer of extreme intermittancy, it’s time to get back to the semi-irregular New York City Doper Dinner Get-Togethers.
The first of these will be this Thursday, August 23rd at our old favorite Blondie’s on West 79th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam. 1/9 train to 79th or B/C train to 81st.
As usual, we’ll start at about 6:30 and go on 'til we’re done with the chicken wings and pitchers of beer.
Come around and we’ll have a toast to our brand new moderator and NYC stalwart, DrMatrix.
If you can make it, post here to let the world know and keep the thread visible. If you don’t get a chance to post, just show up.
If and when I’m employed again, I may start joining you fine people. As it stands, I can’t afford to spring for good eats very often, and I refuse to let anybody else pay for me. Except Governor Pataki, of course.
I’d love to go, but I’ve got a studio jam this Thursday night and then I have to go see my friend’s band play at the Hogs N’ Heifers on the Upper East Side.
Wow! Eve might show up at a bar and wings joint. Who’da thunk it? (Actually, Eve, the resturant part is not smokey at all, and there’s a variety of good food.)
And, Maeglin, if you force us to, we’ll just have to hang around and drink beers 'til 9:30 or so. But, Joe_Cool, we won’t wait for you unless you bring JerseyDiamond.
Cap’nCrude, as far as good eats goes, Blondies is quite reasonable. There’s a menu on their webpage if you want to see if it fits in your budget.
Golly, THespos and GrandfatherTrout, can’t you think of better excuses.
Biggirl, we would never think of keeping you out late. Bring the boy (and I assume you mean your son, 'cause I’m not sure your husband would be as effective at making sure you get home at a reasonable hour – but bring Houseman as well, too).
And Pixellent, just hang around with the NY Dopers for a while, and after a few short months or years we’ll begin to recognize you as someone more than “Hey You!” Can’t wait to meet you.
That’s funny. I have been to Blondies a bunch of times. Anyone know the bartender Grady? Good friend of mine. He shot part of his last movie in my pad in Brooklyn.
I’ll bring the boy. Maybe even Missy Funga will make an appearance. Missy Funga keeps chickening out at the last minute. If Houseman comes (he just might) then my reason to go home early will be gone.
I’m such a dirty stay out.
