Bookmark Removed

I'm coming back to NY next weekend to put my belongings on a train and send them back to Seattle. I arrive early Saturday morning, will be moving during the day (everything's packed) and want to see you all that night. I leave Sunday evening. Place to be announced.

In the meantime, if any of you have some cheap moving suggestions (I'm on a pretty tight budget) post 'em or email me, could you? Thanks!

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm there, and I'm looking into the moving starting tomorrow--I've actually got someone else I'm helping with such right now (she moves the following week) so you are serendipidous in your timing, Senor Matos.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dear, I have plans that night.

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I REALLY overspent over the past couple weeks. gotta start selling CDs soon. but hey--lots of nice new Ben Sherman shirts with neato patterns, which you will see when I'm there!

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

fwiw, it's about 35-40 boxes that need to be transported from Gramercy Park to the Amtrak station in Penn Station, a decent haul but not a long distance.

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

So long, Matos. I hardly knew ye.

― Scaredy Cat, Sunday, 20 July 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

good riddance!!!

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

haha

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

damn, wish you were there August 2nd sos I could put you on the guestlist again! (It was great to see you in Seattle.)

― hstencil, Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Matos, don't sell your CDs in NYC. Bring 'em to Seattle and sell 'em to me!

― JS Williams (js williams), Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:55 (twenty-two years ago)

In the meantime, if any of you have some cheap moving suggestions (I'm on a pretty tight budget) post 'em or email me, could you?

Catapult!

Now I'll be humming Murmur songs to myself all evening.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, can I tell my Murmur "only in Athens" boring namedrop story again?

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 20 July 2003 06:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh, sure.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 20 July 2003 06:02 (twenty-two years ago)

how can I deny such an enthusiastic plea?

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 20 July 2003 06:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Cool, Matos, looking forward. For your move, I recommend hiring a "man with a van" maybe you can find their services on craiglist.

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 20 July 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll be there!

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 20 July 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh no! I think I am going to be vacationing upstate that weekend. Possibly not, though; it would be great to see you.

― Paul Eater (eater), Sunday, 20 July 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

have just left a message for someone on Craigslist, fingers crossed (cheap!)--great advice, Mary, thanks!

JS Williams--if yr serious about buying CDs, contact me offlist.

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 July 2003 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

yay I have a mover! cheap, too. beginning 11am Saturday. shouldn't take very long--I'll be long finished w/the load-on by around 2pm, so I can conceivably FAP from then till 6pm Sunday (my flight's at 8) hurrah! who wants to get co-debauched?!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Where/when?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

this upcoming Sat the 26th

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

well yes, I got that much from the title of the thread, m'dear.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Can it be in an out-of-the-way location, like the Bar Between the Bridges in Dumbo? And we can get ice cream at that nice heritization ice cream store. Or the Rockstar Bar under the Williamsburg Bridge? I think the theme of the FAP should be "Under the Bridge Playground" -- per a sign I saw today in Red Hook, beloved Red Hook. Actually, I think it should be at Lillie's -- that was a big hit.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Mary is OTM!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Reverse psychology?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I liked Lillies and I like those other places. I just didn't like Sunnys :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

In that case I propose a Coney Island Fap: pizza at Totonno's followed by drinks at Ruby's and/or Puzzlers or whatever. The lights of the amusement rides against the ocean at night along the boardwalk will make for such a romantic tableau.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

And I can ride the Cyclone.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Ben Sherman is a god.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess I could wear my 50ish Ben Sherman shirt also. Matos is always one-step ahead of the curve, remember when he showed up at a FAP back in January wearing a tennis sweater?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes!! He also had a psuedo Hawaiian shirt at one too. WTF? He is our male model of the moment.

I bought a very tiny pencil skirt today. It can be a very 50s FAP

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I got in on that H&M trip. There was sadly no H&M in Red Hook. No clothing stores of any kind, not even thift. Hmm must rethink godlike impression of RH. So where do you wanna go MM? It is your princely return, your wish is our desire.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

(Should we think outdoors? Andy B. knows of a good place in Billyburg.)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

So where do you wanna go MM? It is your princely return, your wish is our desire.

[CENSORED]

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

(sorry, just too obvious not to say, or not say, as the case may be)

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The censored material was The Magician, right?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

(I will happily go back to Coney whenever.)

Matos: maybe you can finally give me my mix cd.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

(But will you go to Sandy Hook?)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:57 (twenty-two years ago)

it'll probably be Siberia or the Magician, alas

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Magician then.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:06 (twenty-two years ago)

um...I haven't decided yet, actually

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Decide, you wuss. (Also, did you get my e-mails? Yes, I am sad for asking this.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I just decided FOR you. Hello? Anyway I don't actually care where it is, I'm just warning last time we were at Siberia it wasn't so hot.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

That's not my problem, since the last time I was at Siberia it was fucking ON FIRE BITCH!!!

(haha did I mention I miss NY?)

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe it was the loss of you that made Siberia terrible :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:18 (twenty-two years ago)

MAGICIAN THEN. IF I HAVE TO GO TO SIBERIA AGAIN I WILL NOT BE HAPPY.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

fantastic news, Matos, u know I'm there

what about Lit? i like Lit

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, it is decided. HI-FI will be the location. things will begin around 8pm. if any y'all wanna hook up earlier than that, let's hear it.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Matos, I am sorry I will miss your triumphant return/sendoff because I will be out of town. :( But have a wonderful time, Matos!

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay Hi Fi wins!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

High Five for Hi Fi!

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

(Yan3y called my previous suggestions "the troll Fap.")

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Michelangelo i'm going to think of a parting gift for you that's NOT music

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

A bridge set!

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be out of town upstate but will send good tidings through a bright star visible from the e. village regardless.

― Andy, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

TROLL FAP! Oh that is quite key though.

My gifts for Michaelangelo are the gifts of music though :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Shame I'll be missing seeing you (again), Matos. However, look for a rocket heading skyward Saturday night....shall be I.

Enjoy, and we should hook up for a drink, when I make it to Seattle.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll be there!! koritfw

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 24 July 2003 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I believe I will be there, but just don't be dissapointed that I won't have a burrito in my handbag.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 24 July 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I will be attending, natch. Michaelangelo, if you need help moving boxes earlier in the day, email me or gimme a ring. I owe you a favor (i.e. what you hooked me up with is looking promising!).

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 24 July 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I can use all the help I can get on moving, please. Thanks, Y!

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 24 July 2003 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure thing. I'll email ya for details.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 24 July 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Matos,
I'm leaving New York on tuesday and I wasn't in the mood to organize a farewell party of my own. So what do you think - your farewell party is my farewell party?

― Tobias Rapp, Friday, 25 July 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

This Tues? :( :( :(

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 25 July 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to work Sunday night, so if I show up sweaty and dressed in all-black, thats my uniform. Though I've never met Matos in the first place, so I'd feel funny going to his farewell... If the venue is changed, can someone please notify me this time?

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 26 July 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not on Sunday, it's Saturday

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 26 July 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I should arrive fresh on the heels of a pirate-esque adventure; if you finish packing, come out to the shore, savvy? . . .

Sandy Hook, NJ

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 26 July 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

(Trolling Update: I went to the Ice Cream Factory, Grimaldi's, and the Bar Between the Bridges tonite in a mini DUMBO FAP with my Alexandria waterfront co-hort, Aaron G.)

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 26 July 2003 06:16 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not on Sunday, it's Saturday

oh, in that case, i look forward to meeting you!

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 26 July 2003 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

can anyone post the address to Hi-Fi?

― Carey (Carey), Saturday, 26 July 2003 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

It's 169 Avenue A, between 9th and 10th. I am actually there right now.

― Paul Eater (eater), Saturday, 26 July 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

(I will be at this party by the way.)

― Paul Eater (eater), Saturday, 26 July 2003 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

WTF I didn't actually make your goddamned CDs, Paul!!! Oh well, I will be making them.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks for a lovely party, Matos!

And apologies to all those to whom I said I'd be coming back when I left at 10:30 or whenever. I started partying too early, and... ended up elsewhere.

― Paul Eater (eater), Sunday, 27 July 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Hang on, hang on--was Paul Eater actually Phil's date that he left to go meet at approximately the same time??? ;)

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

maaaaaaybe

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 28 July 2003 03:52 (twenty-two years ago)

!!!!!

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 28 July 2003 07:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Who wins this debate? The rumor mill!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you take pics while you were there Ally? This FAP just wasn't the same without the incessant blinking lights of the paparrazi. I liked Phil's pirate-striped shirt.

Another thing: I think we need to set a moratorium on FAPs in bars, in light of this whole Giuliani/Bloomberg impingement on our freedoms. Half of us just spend the entire time on the street, we don't need to meet a bar for that. In the future, may I suggest the parking lot FAP? Bring some cases of beer, your cigs, and we can smoke drink & dance to our hearts' delight.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 28 July 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I did not take any pics because I took all those pictures of not people at Sandy Hook...I am very much into a parking lot FAP. Especially if it involves a mall.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

a tailgater FAP! when do the mets play the phillies? if this can be put together, i'm so there.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 28 July 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, we've heard that before.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Does anyone have a roof we can all hang out on? Roof parties are my new most favorite thing ever.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i have a roof...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

See, Phil, I told you Ally would get all jealous if she wasn't invited!

― Paul Eater (eater), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping for some threesome action with you guys :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh so THIS is the alleged ilx threesome then.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I don't know why people still think Yancey was involved.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, you know better.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. It was really fun and really great to see you all. I hope you had a good time too. Not sure when I'll be back there--and work is busy busy busy--but I'm hoping to come out in September for CMJ Marathon. I kiss you all.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 28 July 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

BON VOYAGE MON AMI!!!!!!!!

(seriously you better get your ass back here soon, I'm sorry for leaving earlyish)

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, enough about the Phil-Paul-Ally choo-choo-train. SEEYA LATER ALLIGATOR.

alligator = matos.

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 28 July 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

[oh, i have a gigantic roof with nice view]
[but we're not allowed to have parties at night there]
[so maybe a barbeque, or something]
[but 40s of O.E. at the corner store are $2.50 here]

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 28 July 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

we can totally have gatherings on our roof. just if anyone asks you say MikeerBrad from the 3rd floor invited you and just don't throw shit off the side.

― Carey (Carey), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, trust me on the throwing shit off the side thing, it pisses off Starbucks.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay when?

― Paul Eater (eater), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Why Paul? So you can show up for 15 minutes and then leave to meet your real friends? (NOTE: I admire this in you)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I went home after an hour and cried because Paul wasn't there when I was.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Paul's the bizarro Tracer! Comes way early, slips out quietly. Tracer comes way late (if at all), but makes his presence immediately felt!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Well if he'd keep his pants on it'd be a different story.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm bizarro Felicity: lame, bitchy and always poor.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Too...tempting...to...make...my...bizarro...comparison...no bad brain no.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

hush, little one

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

But you know what I wanted to say.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, who's not wearing pants?

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Who IS wearing pants is more like it...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

we could have a roof fap this weekend anytime. phil is sick AGAIN though. which leads me to believe that this loft is infected since aaron was also sick a lot of the time. Or maybe I'm just a viking.

― Carey (Carey), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

but i just spent all afternoon tracking down some indian cherry-bark cough syrup that's also 46 proof alcohol. you're supposed to take one shot an hour until the bottle is gone. sounds perfect.

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 28 July 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to go to a roof party.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

No you do not. We know what is best for you and that is a parking lot party, preferably at a 7-Eleven. If there is no 7-Eleven in Manhattan we will build one.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Roof parties are *so* last month.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

parking lot party = i am psyched!!

can we set off fireworks

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe just hand held sparklers

i wonder how long till the police come?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 07:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Revive with a few pics. These are people who were sitting near me for the ten seconds I took pictures. (That means about 90% of the attendees are not in 'em, incuding the star of the show!) (Also kinko's scanner sucks x 999999)
