Link to previous meetup thread: nyc-meet-up-fri-3-12-6pm-stout-nyc-90700.html

Lessons learned from previous event:
  • Have an easier way to identify people at the bar (although walking around asking random people "Are you from.... the forum?" served as a good icebreaker)
  • Hold the event a little bit later (6:30 or 7 pm instead of 6pm)
  • Have a more intimate venue / less crowded
  • Nametags work (I actually brought them last time but neglected to hand them out... luckily Aenigma thought ahead and brought her own)

You can put me down as an attendee again. I can try to make it either of those days.

As far as Carnival goes - I actually went there in December. It's a bit weird, but not that loud (which is definitely good). Their Carnival games were very expensive too if you ever wanted to play them. Think $4 to throw a ball to knock over milk bottles. If you wanted to do something along the line of Dave and Busters, there is one on 42nd st. I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but it's definitely different.

No chance on 31st. I am picking up a pup bulldog this weekend so might have difficulty getting around that week, or quite a few for the meantime.

I think Carnival can get really busy.

Would it be weird for me to ask for pics in this situation, anonymous message board poster that I am? :)

Perhaps. Once I have her. I am not certain how recent the ones I have are. Like, they may be about three or so weeks old, which is half her life.

Hey if we pick a day, I'll call ahead and reserve some lounge space for us at Dove.

For what it's worth, I don't think I can do this week anymore -- I'm already double-booked. 4/7 is still clear. But carry on as benefits the majority.

4/7 sounds like a more realistic date. im surprised people havent been tripping over themselves responding to RSVP. i guess we scared everyone off during the last event

So I reserved space for 8-12 of us at Dove on 4/7 at 7PM. If more come, we'll just hijack more couch space. I'll try to call back tomorrow and ask for the back corner, past the bar. I think that's the best area for conversating.

I'll plan to get there a little early to make good on happy hour prices. I'll also plan to recognize shadowsjc and NYCAnalyst the first two times I pass them in order to avoid any sarcastic texting.

Yeah, the drinks are absurdly good for 6 bucks. They also have a grasshopper which is double digit dollars but tastes just like the best mint chocolate chip sundae + booze I've ever had. And I mix booze with my ice cream A LOT.

Yep. I'll even buy you a drink and then walk away for the rest of the evening, to compel you into coming back a second time.
