people who moved to brooklyn attempting to become scenesters and then ran out of money count as "Gothamites?"
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I still think about moving there sometimes. I'm sure by the time I actually could it will be too late.

Tom, there are nabes in Bklyn not served by the L train (like my US-flag-flying one where I'm living under a fucking Romper Room)

Portland seems like somewhere I would move if I was some kind of freelancer or worked from home. It's the dream, I suppose.
― admrl, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:06 (sixteen years ago) link

The art museum ain't much.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah lotsa theaters cinema 21, clinton st and then all the fabled $3 theaters that serve beer and show 2nd run hits and the more popular arthouse fare. american eden come here now
― jergïns, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
There are jobs here. Post yer resume on craigslist and you will get decent responses(how i've found at least 3 jobs here).
I really enjoy it here. I'm very happy I got the fuck out of michigan and made it out here.
We still need to see Blade Runner. I'm trying to drag people along with me tonight or tomorrow.
― kingfish, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I like the gays there and in Seattle, I wonder if they wd like me
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, this isn't exactly a non-drinking town. Beer & wine is everywhere, and this is good.
― kingfish, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
I just really like the weather, which means I should probably move back to London.
Also food, beer, coffee, thrift stores.
― admrl, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link
xp!
yeah the bars in Portland are awesome! and plentiful
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link
The $3 beer theaters should be a national treasure. That's how we got to see They Live last month.
At least one of them is reportedly haunted.
