it will be tight, considering the part of town it is. But I'll keep eyes open for that too.Parking?Ok I have a provisional booking at the Holiday Inn on Delancey Str. If I'm reading the map right that's about seven blocks from the Lovecraft Bar. FHDM, CH, let me know if this is a good choice.will check it out.
Iirc, you're on the lower east side, just outside of alphabet city. It is a colorful neighborhood, known for a lot of things that made new York famous in the 80s for all the wrong reasons. Things have changed *significantly* since then, though. As a famous visitor to this website once opined, "Where did all these white people come from?!?!?!?!?!?!"
You should be quite fine there. Things can be a bit intimidating super late at night, but you should be okay. I'll still do a real life visit in the next few days.
Can't remember who's going. Maybe meet up somewhere on the way and carpool to save space?
I'm coming in on a train. I am hoping for some help with transport
My death growl is disappointing so far. It sounds good until I start coughing.
Scratch off another potential career.

it's not hard. I am thinking you'll take either the N or the F. Again, I will check.

unfortunately, the main place CH and I go for bubble tea is closed....there was great outcry when that happened. There are other places though.

I know it cannot be winter all year round. I am willing to accept the start of spring.
Well, just picked up another shift. Gonna be a long day, but I'm happy I'm getting a bit more cash.
Going to bus driving practice now. It's very surreal riding in one of these yellow monsters. It's been a while

So, thumbnail sketch for me and my weekend in NYC:
Sat train to GCS early
Check in to hotel if arrive at that time, otherwise look around a bit
Hook up with anyone in city to stroll around for day
Drink at Lovecraft bar
It was in the 70's here in Denver yesterday. It was barely drizzling at 4 a.m. and started to switch to snow at 5. Now at 9, there are six inches on the ground already, it's still coming down in whiteout conditions, and it looks like Imma have time to update pbps today! :D
It's f@##ing 35 degrees and pouring rain, snow is tonight or tomorrow, either way it's a massive kick to the morale balls. :-)
I might need to hitchhike to New York City to give Freehold a Summervention.
Yes, I think we're sending the snow your way. Enjoy! It's winter's last gasp. Plus, California got a much-needed 16" of snow.
Ha!

So... pull the garrotte tighter?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm trying! I'm trying!
It's not working!
I'm gonna need a sharper garrotte...

Oh, was that me? My apologies! I should probably stop. I'll do it...
...soon™.
>:D
Another frustrating day urrrgggggghhhh
Parallel parking a school bus. Not fun

this brings to mind images of Orthos reading a how-to-book on strangulation:
Orthos: okay..."put cord A over cord B and pull"... "firmly". Okay. I'm pulling firmly, but the guy is kinda gurgling. Is that a good sound or a bad sound? "some gurgling may occur". Okay. That's good then. Oh man, his legs are quaking, uh...uh... there's nothing on that here. Am I doing this right? Maybe I should check online...
Another frustrating day urrrgggggghhhh
it'll be 5 soon.

Here's what would happen if I bought a brand new garrotte.
Uh, yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but this guy isn't blacking out... yup,.. Uh huh.. Not the foot then... whoa, that's kind of dark... look, I just want to find out where he hid his lucky charms... really!...any grocery store...
Yeah Scint and I are having the same problem. I fail to see what a knockoff reboot of a mediocre-at-best 90s sitcom has at all in common with FMA Brotherhood, Futurama, RWBY, or Frasier. [/rhetorical comment]
Hulu thinks I should watch Project Runway and 7th heaven for whatever reason if that helps.
Extra shift achieved. Working 7am to 12 pm tonight, then 7am-10 pm tomorrow
Maximum effort!

Orthos: I've wanted to get into FMA. Which series should I start with?
FMA and FMA: Brotherhood are mostly the same till about halfway through the first series/7 episodes into the second. FMA is shorter but split from the manga; Brotherhood is faithful to the source all the way through and irons out some pacing.
So...FMA before Brotherhood because otherwise, it's going to feel sluggish when you watch it after.
Ugh. Starting to crash a bit. Maximum effort takes a lot out of you. I haven't been this busy in a while.
So roll call: who's showing up 4/23 to hang?
Perhaps another time Lucky7!
So roll call: who's showing up 4/23 to hang?
I'll be there.
I am thinking you'll take either the N or the F. Again, I will check.Yeah it'll be cool. I've never gone on the NY subway.
The first words that come to mind when I think of the NY subway start with the letters "N" and "F." Weird coincidence, I guess.

Orthos: I've wanted to get into FMA. Which series should I start with?
To get the full impact of FMA - Brotherhood, you must watch the original FMA series at least through to the halfway mark. This is because some things were glossed over in FMA - Brotherhood that are explained in the original series.

I successfully distracted myself from having a panic attack, so I'd call that a win.

Now I want to see a Studio Ghibli-inspired Monkeybus. :)
Heh,
For my Easter weekend, I'm going (yet again) to a Stage Combat Workshop (our 'little' Louisiana Workshop has become one of the longest running and largest regional workshops in the country) and sword and weapons play for two long tiring days.
Then a day of Crawfish boil on Easter Sunday.
THEN I helped organize a week-long stage combat class her eon campus, so I'll be participating in THAT for a straight week. 30 hours minimum to train/test in a new weapon for certification. :P
So my Spring Break off won't be relaxing, but at least it'll be fun! :)
In case I get too busy, (and I think I will) Happy Easter weekend to all!
I'm gonna be one tired wizard. :/
Trust me, multi-classing isn't easy, but it's totally worth it.
Chicks dig a wizard that can wield his steel. :-)
