• Count me as a tentative yes. It depends on what sort of wrist-slitting fun happens at work that day.
• MCroft and I can come from the Joisey contingent. Looking forward to it! *goes off to put it in calendar*
• dammit. i'da come to this in a heartbeat, but I just moved to Texas. Someone drop a blintz on the stoop in honor of the monkeys who cannot attend.
• I might be able to make it - - I tend to fall along the lines of what kimdog said above. Also, depends on my very active little son... Tentative yes! Hope to be there.
• Wonderful! Looking forward to meeting you guys and anyone else who can make it. Sorry to have just missed one of you...This bucket o' blintzes is for you, Mr. dirtdirt. I'll get some banana/MoFi signage to help us find one another at the diner. Kidlets welcome.
• I'll see if I can round up the Forkster, even though he's been scarce around these parts lately.
• As a member of MoFiLA, I can attest to PY's fine character.
• Thank you kimdog and mandyman. I'll send a reminder email to all interested parties on Monday. :)
• dirtdirt, should we have an Austin meetup in honor of your arrival?
• mmmmm, pierogies
• Well, we probably shouldn't have one in honor of my arrival, but we sure should have one! I am pretty wide open...
• See if I can come by and meet old monkeys. I'm so out of the swing these days...
• Thank you to all who expressed interest in attending a MoFi meetup tonight at 7:30pm at Veselka's, at 2nd Ave. and 9th St. I hope you can all make it! I'll be there early to get a table for 4-5, then. The Gray Line employees and SWAT officers among you should have no problem spotting me as a threat to national security. The rest of you may have to look for the suspicious Monkeyfilter sign at the table. Teeny tiny mementos of the event will be provided for all who attend. See you soon. :)
• Whee! We had a great time and all you NYC monkeys who couldn't make it missed out on food, fun, and a special memento from LA. Thanks to PY for organizing and to kimdog and sugarmilktea for coming! NYC/NJ monkeys: let's do this again soon. :)
• Wow! Kimdog, immlass, MCroft, sugarmilktea and son - it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Plenty pierogies were had (plus a blintz and kielbasa, I think), but I completely forgot to give you each a finger puppet from my bag after that underwhelming banana candy. Next time!
• Where is my goddam shoutout, you cruel and heartless demons who emerged, screaming obscenities, from hell's gaping anus, only to plague mankind with your neverending brutal horror? Do you LIKE making me cry? Eh?
• *hands quid his blankie*
• Hey hey! Had a nice time last night! A big thanks to PY for getting us together. A pleasure meeting you PY, Kimdog, immlass and MCroft! The taste of that goat cheese pierogi still lingers in my memory... And the raspberry blintz immlass had - I shall dream of that until my next visit to Veselka. Don't lie PY, you meant to keep those finger puppets for yourself! Well then, until next time! Enjoy the rest of your stay in NYC. Shoutouts!? Cry quid, cry!!!! Gah, I did bring the camera, but I forgot to take it out and actually *use* it. Most likely, I was distracted with the small monkey sleeping on my shoulder. Perhaps I can return to the scene and take some shoutout pic sans monkeys? Hmmm... Anyway, here's a shoutout to kitfisto!! I even had a devious plan for bringing a jar of wrinkle-cut beetroot, cheese, mayo and bread. Ok ok, here's a ¡SHOUTOUT! to you quidnuc kid
• I also enjoyed meeting all of you guys... and the littlest monkey too! Perogies and nice monkey folk were the perfect end to what started out as a horrible day (who ever heard of someone toasting a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich?) I hope we can do more NYC meet-ups. Thanks PY, for initiating!
• Anyway, here's a shoutout to kitfisto! Oh, you harpies. You evil, evil harpies.
• Quidnunc, here's a belated shoutout! We missed all you folks who couldn't come, even forksclovetofu who ditched us in favor of Liz Phair.
