MetaFilter

If this meetup winds up just being me drinking alone and hitting on girls, that is also fine

Whose deal?
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 5:23 AM on August 1, 2014

Oh! Yeah basically. I was just thinking "hey, there are a lot of LGBT people in New York who are on Metafilter, why not see if we can have a meetup?"

Hey anybody/everybody: I'll be at OLS at 7 on Wednesday night, but if no one else responds to this event I'll just kinda be hanging out. If you come by and want to find me, the OKCupid link in my profile shows what I look like!

Mannn I totally want to come but I may or may not be out of town.

Camping was cancelled for rain! I'm in!

For gay-ish bars, I like One Last Shag in Bed-Stuy (though it'd be better during the day, when it's not all dancy). Other places with decent patios and drink selections are Franklin Park in Crown Heights and Whiskey Tavern in Chinatown. Are any of those convenient/inconvenient for people?

Hmm, and I just found out that my friend is coming into town on that date... I might delete and repost this event for a later date actually. Any objections?
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 4:15 AM on July 2, 2014

Yay, this is only a 30 minute walk from my house!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 11:45 AM on November 11, 2013

I vote for Tuesday or Wednesday. (Thursday I'm going to a burlesque class in what is sure to be another astonishingly successful* attempt to build new and lasting friendships!) *lol

Also I made this event because I made the other thread, but I know zero things about Midtown so other people should give input on the venue...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 1:04 PM on July 1, 2013

To avoid the awkward "little paper folded thing made from a notepad someone had in their purse that says 'Metafilter' on it" thing... IDK I'll wear something weird on that day or something
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 4:34 PM on July 1, 2013

Also people from the internet have a look to them, somehow. You take that back :(
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 6:01 AM on July 2, 2013

Well we'd have to say "Somewhere between 10 and 40 people are coming" at this point and that's not very informative
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:08 AM on July 2, 2013

Ok jerkfaces, reservation is officially made!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:13 AM on July 9, 2013

Also: please no one give me a jovial slap on the back. I fell asleep at the beach on Saturday and am RED AND BURNY
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:17 AM on July 9, 2013

I might be late. Then again, I might not. Remember, the reservation's under the name at the top of the event (which- remind me to edit that out later)

Hmm I thought there were gonna be thunderstorms on Wednesday but it looks like a small chance? What do people think?
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 2:14 PM on April 8, 2013

Hmm who's got good outside space? I know 4th ave does. I also fear that every good patio will be absolutely mobbed...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 4:37 PM on April 8, 2013

Oh I actually didn't know that people just went there. Ok ok ok then, Zombie Hut, 4th Ave, or other? (I don't wanna go to Manhattan really)
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 4:57 AM on April 9, 2013

Lol and now it is somewhat likely that I will not be able to make it, due to the utter horror of apartment hunting...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 9:48 PM on April 9, 2013

I was gonna go to a friend's party tonight, but it's a goddamn Wednesday and the party is in Queens and I don't feel like it, so... see you guys at 7ish! Also I propose 61 Local for a future meetup.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 10:31 AM on March 27, 2013

I missed the first meetup because it fell on a week when I had about 8 other parties to go to, and I was exhausted. But this looks too awesome not to go to. I'm in!

Why the fuck not am i rite
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 4:20 PM on November 16, 2012

I have a hair appointment in Bumfuck Brooklyn at 6:30, so I may or may not be up for the train ride back to the city... but I'm a definite maybe!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 6:05 AM on October 18, 2012

I'm coming this time NO WIMPOUTS
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 5:05 PM on September 18, 2012

I wound up working at the honey tasting booth all day! It was super fun. I'm glad you went!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 6:21 PM on September 15, 2012

I might bike over!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 9:35 AM on September 11, 2012

My bike was being a big dumb jerk so I skipped out :( Sorry! Next time!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 5:41 PM on September 13, 2012

I MIGHT be getting dinner with someone, but otherwise I'm there.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:14 AM on August 13, 2012

This sounds fun- I'll be in North Carolina, but if it happens again I'm in.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 5:31 PM on July 25, 2012

It's been forever since I've made it to one of these! After work I desperately need to clean my party-destroyed apartment, but once that's done I'll come out for a drink.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 6:43 AM on July 5, 2012

But why Camp? Because SMORES
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 11:55 AM on March 2, 2012

I have a doctor's appointment after work, but I'll swing by after if it isn't too late.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 11:28 AM on February 28, 2012

Oh man remember how I said something about it being traditional for women to propose on leap years? One of my best friends asked her boyfriend to marry her yesterday and he said yes! Woo!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:43 AM on March 1, 2012

Assuming I am not totally exhausted after the gym, I will be there around 8 or 8:30...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:45 AM on February 22, 2012

So down for this! I have no suggestions except for 'Brooklyn'.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:15 PM on January 25, 2012

Oh hey look, listings of Manhattan and Brooklyn trivia nights. I've heard good things about Last Exit's bimonthly Monday trivia night, but it's $5. Location is Brooklyn Heights. Cash Cab has been known to come around looking for contestants at times at this long-running trivia night (oh and by the way, Cash Cab isn’t a real cab). The questions are not easy and the competition is harder. Other fun elements include the “Last Exit Theater” where the hosts read a script and… [more]

How bout we try that one, and if it sucks, try a different one? The next one is coming up this Monday. Teams are limited to four people. That's ok with basically any number of attendees except five. That would kind of suck.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 6:32 AM on February 2, 2012

Well, since it's only every other Monday, I figure we should go ahead and check it out this coming week.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 9:40 AM on February 2, 2012

I think I'll come by, and check out MY NEW NEIGHBORHOOD! I'm moving to Cobble Hill on Wednesday.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:16 AM on January 25, 2012

And by Wednesday... I mean Sunday.
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 7:16 AM on January 25, 2012

I have to stop by my house at 7ish tonight. If I still feel like travelling from Queens to Brooklyn at that point, I'll come!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:00 AM on December 14, 2011

Unless, of course, someone in lower Manhattan or Brooklyn wants to let me take a post-gym shower at their apartment first...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:10 AM on December 14, 2011

This sounds like so much fun!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 1:38 PM on November 9, 2011

Well apparently I have to go bowling at 1:30. Any chance this will still be going on at 3:15ish?
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 11:02 AM on November 30, 2011

I'm in!
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:43 PM on September 16, 2011

In an amazing stroke of luck I am dogsitting at 215th street this weekend. I can see the rendezvous point from the window of the apartment! (Downside: the last thing I will want to do when this is all over is go back up there and walk a dog.)
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 8:30 AM on October 6, 2011

I'll come if I can! And hopefully I will be gainfully employed by then...
posted to MeFi IRL by showbiz_liz at 3:54 PM on June 1, 2011

Yay! I just moved to the city yesterday, and I was gonna propose a meetup if there wasn't one planned already!
