― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

With lots of photos, and my stewing jealousy. Oh not that I care no not really. *cries*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah, did anyone bring a camera last nite?

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Look, we want stories and gossip. Come on, cough up.

I hope you're all looking after Stevem.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

it's a bit early for stories and gossip. nobody likes a scandal-mongerer, m.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

three words. lauren. gang. bang. you didn't hear it from me though.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

*GASP*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, phil! that's just gross!!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

That's no denial!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i hate all of you.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad I didn't come.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but gangs mean "homies" and "bitches" and "slapping" in America, so perhaps he means that they have joined THE CRIPS or THE BLUDS or the HOMO SUPERIORS, I don't know, do I.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

fine, fine. it wasn't lauren. it was me.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh god, can steve walk????

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Not if he's joined the Homo Superiors - he'll have a cap in his ass by now.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

first the bottom bitch thing, now this. i think phil's trying to ruin my life.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

im trying to help you find a nice boyfriend!!

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm STILL tired!!! I think I need to start taking vitamins again.

Twas great seeing the Brits and Yanks last night. I think I might save up my energy for Saturday night.... Although I might stop by Rothko for a drink.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 23 April 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

inspired by the namedropping thread... one of the girls from fannypack bought mysterious pink girlie shots for me, carey, phil, and rjg last night.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Stevem : one thing to say. He took 4 and a half hours to get in from Newark. HE WALKED ACROSS THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE.

Just met Ally and Nitsuh up a WBAR, we are out for more drinks tonight to settle Chris's stomach. Wedding tomorrow.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

They're still alive?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

you met the girls from fannypack??????

WHY DIDN'T I GO TO NEW YORK.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god......

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

No fannypack for Ronan.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I have wasted my life.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Finished before you had a chance to really begin.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

down, boy. she's friends with one of my best friends, and she's not going anywhere and i promise i'll introduce you whenever you come to visit.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

heh I'm only sort of messing! I think I can manage until then.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i think she was trying to poison us with those nasty pink things. my head still hurts. so im gonna pass on the museum & the cute art students, but think i come to the rothko party. except its put on by that guy i dont like. but there's free beer for an hour.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

heh I'm only sort of messing! I think I can manage until then.

BUT CAN SHE?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

You've always supported me N.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

you would make a very cute couple.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

You should plan a June wedding.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure who I'm meant to be marrying.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

So it's Rothko tonight for those still willing and able... Free Red Stripe is 10-11pm. It's five bucks. 116 Suffolk Street (Corner of Rivington) in the Lower East Side.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

also: dj technics and hollertronix are playing at the bowery bar (corner e.4th & bowery) tonight from 12-4am. no cover, and from 10-11pm there will be free sparks and free champagne.*

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude that's hella retarded.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

but its free!

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

for an hour. then after that, yes, its hella retarded.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet Sofia was super stoned when her dad told her he was naming his champagne after her and just giggled.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, CANS of champagne? What the flying fuck?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:40 (twenty-two years ago)

That's so classy.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I need a six pack of Sofia!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

what are the british fellas doing?

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

"A drink that'll make YOU feel like you're surrounded by a bunch of things and people you can't understand."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

They're up in the trees.

x-post

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Technics + Hollertronix + free liquor = damn. I wish I hadn't promised to be somewhere else tonight!

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

How was the after-party?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 23 April 2004 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

― i4n j0hns0n (Pete), Friday, 23 April 2004 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 23 April 2004 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Pete! Man, that was a wierd metapost.

― Will McKenzie, Friday, 23 April 2004 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Pete, go talk to him.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 April 2004 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha. that was me (ian) who just posted that. but forgot to log pete out.

― i4n j0hns0n (Pete), Friday, 23 April 2004 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

weird, ian. not as weird as me running into you that day when you were tripping, but still.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

also not as weird as me and jon talking about you on the phone last night.

― ian j0hns0n, Saturday, 24 April 2004 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't even want to know, junior.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

He took 4 and a half hours to get in from Newark. HE WALKED ACROSS THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE.

AND TODAY he walked from Battery Park all the way to the Whitney, took in the Biennial with Geeta and me, then went to Yorkville for some pizza!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 24 April 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Where is everyone? C. left a cryptic phone message referencing 'midtown' and is currently unreachable. Where am I going tonight?

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

they MIGHT still be in the Ginger Man but not sure - i'm headin for a callbox as soon as i can actually walk again. mail me your number if ye like

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I am becalmed -- they are sitting down to dinner in the East Village and are in Midtown no longer. C. thinks it will be an hour or so before they move on (to Rothko's maybe?).

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah im headed to rothkos soon.

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

steve, did you get my mail? call me, dork.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i texted ally c about it, so hopefully they come too.

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

lauren i would call you if i could (sorry sorry sorry will do asap) - you're going to technics/hollertronix now?

― stevem (at geeta's on his own, kinda wishing he had was in posession of footspa), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:29 (twenty-two years ago)

no, that's for later if i'm still energetic. cut copy thing at rothko first.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

how many times will I be in new york?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 24 April 2004 03:21 (twenty-two years ago)

are you going to start counting again?

― bnw (bnw), Saturday, 24 April 2004 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Where were all my homeez at?

Chromeo 4-ever.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 24 April 2004 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Irish Breakfast tea that weird?

― Carey (Carey), Saturday, 24 April 2004 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

It's yummy!

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 24 April 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

ATTN. BRITISH TYPES: WHEN COME TO NY, PLEASE BRING ID. LARGE SCARY BOUNCERS ARE UPTIGHT ABOUT THAT HERE.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

ATTN. NEW YORK. Despite being a baby-faced idiot who was still getting IDed for cigarettes at home, you completely failed to ID me at all when I was in your city at the age of 24. Except one weigh and pay Chinese buffet place. How can you account for this?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 24 April 2004 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

(l like to think it was because I projected an air of debonair confidence, but it's probably just cause I didn't go to that many bars, and was just lucky)

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 24 April 2004 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

the guy who wouldnt let me in without ID was surely styled by MIck Fleetwood, so needless to say i had the last laugh. Cut Copy was ok, did you see Chromeo then Mary??

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 24 April 2004 12:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't been asked for ID, this time, yet.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 24 April 2004 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

does anyone know what street cook & madchen's hotel is on? lexington & ??

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 24 April 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

lexignton & fifth.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

going to bars in the east village/lower east side on a friday or saturday night usually means that you'll get asked for i.d., although i've never heard of a chinese restaurant (buffet or otherwise) requiring proof of age. that's preposterous.

(hotel is on lex & 30th, i think)

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Let me make it clear that the ID was for a can of beer, not the Chinese food.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

that's reasonable, then.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

At least, I assumed it was.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

NYC has gotten progressively pig-headed about asking for IDs. When I came up in H.S. I could drink with impunity, with all the thrill of coming to the big city. By the time I got to college, it was 50-50, and the only way I could get into the West End (bastards) was because a friend gave me an old ID of hers. Now, I can't even go to the dive bar around the corner from my house without being asked for ID. Either I am looking younger every day or NYC is getting more and more repressive.

Last night's bouncer-system was horrible. Outdoor bouncer: "Have your IDs out! Have your $5 ready!" (I stayed for a few songs of Chromeo--they (he?) were (was?) pretty charming.)

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 24 April 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I am out of the loop.

I apologize for being somewhat out of it upon meeting people yesterday. Suddenly seeing Pete without warning sort of made my head explode.

Is Lauren talking about Cat from Fannypack? I have a half-crush on the smug smile she wears while performing. Lauren, please let her know that.

So what are you people doing tomorrow (Sunday)? I heard there were tomorrowy-things going on, and I've not seen nearly enough British people this week.

― nabiscothingy, Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:02 (twenty-two years ago)

And there are two guys in Chromeo! One of this is almost always standing up by my apartment talking on his cellphone. It's really, really weird.

― nabiscothingy, Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:03 (twenty-two years ago)

come to DBA this afternoon nabisco, from around 6 or maybe 5, hope to see you

some of us rick limeys are heading to Coney before that - i'm meeting RJG and Ally at their hotel on 37th St (i think, oh the vagueness) at 1pm and we're going from there - could join up with others wanting to come at Bleecker & Lafayette St station maybe? will arrange by phone nearer the time

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to work from 5 to 9, but I assume you folks have the stamina to be out well past that: I'm all over wherever y'all are. Carey and Ally and others should have my number.

― nabiscothingy, Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

cat is racking up admirers! call me tomorrow, steve. i want to go to coney island.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

(your Aussie friend also v cute lauren ;) in fact hanging out with you, her and phil was like being at a Cutester Convention par excellence (ok the luvvy-duvvy vibe of today has persisted i'm sorry). how was that bar in the end? and what of tonight (as in just gone?). will give you a call after sleep and whatnot

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

P.S. BARRY THE HATCHET

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

not drunk, but acting like am. out of anti-histimines and feeling like the death, listening to microhaus ooooh bass

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

bar was a bar. i'm sorry valentine was such an ass about the i.d. thing - he's never gotten over his heydey as bouncer to the hair metal stars in the 80s. tonight was a good show but after doing organizational stuff for it, i couldn't enjoy it properly. i had some guava margaritas and left early. the end.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

london bootleg orchestra representing in fine form tonight i might add

x-post - aw shame, and again i'm really sorry i kept you all waiting for so long

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

in fact hanging out with you, her and phil was like being at a Cutester Convention par excellence

just imagine what our twee pop night is going to be like!

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I think i drugged my own drink tonight.

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 25 April 2004 05:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you did, too.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i am still waiting for carey to call me back "in five minutes"

― bnw (bnw), Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Bah I called you!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean I called you! Bah!

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

this is confusing.

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

rjg, ally and i are meeting at their hotel lobby (Shelbourne hotel at 303 Lexington and 37th) at 1pm to go to Coney Island. join us!

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 25 April 2004 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm going to cry if the bumper cars aren't open.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Apologies to all those that i told I would call back in 5, 10, 20, or 40 minutes or to those I could no longer work my phone to make a phone call. Food is a must when we get to Coney.

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 25 April 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

a girl after my own heart, you are.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I just got back from the beach here so it warms my heart that you folks are going to the beach there. Especially now that I know what Coney Island is like from first hand experience, woo!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

oh i just woke up. hungover. going to play mario kart. drink tonite. see you.

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 25 April 2004 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Yancey and I are gonna stop by DBA after watching a bit of basketball. See you tonight.

Sorry I didn't make it out the last two nights. At least I did get caught up on my sleep.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 25 April 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

(Guys if someone sees Nabisco can you ask him to email me? I only have his old work address from Chicago and terefore cannot communicate)
