The idea was raised and well-received recently in chatzy--rparis is going to be in NYC, and at least he and I will be at the Okkervil River show on Friday the 28th. bluejayway seemed to seriously consider the idea, at least for 5 minutes last night. I'm thinking it would be the ideal time for Modem's planned visit.

What do you say? Does the idea have legs?

not to sound like a surly dumbass, but what the fuck are you talking about? Is this all of you in the same room, boarding? or an obner meet-up? a mass chat?

sounds good, i should be around for this.

I'd be interested in a web-televised "New Cotton" meets "New Haq" surly-off.

really? I feel like I've mellowed considerably.

Ill be in NYC from Sept 27 to October 3rd. I will be going to a few shows if anyone is interested let me know.

It only happens in spurts, but when you're on, you're ON.

Haq, meanwhile, seems to have turned it to "Grr" and snapped the knob off lately.


Well, not all the time.

I know, angry Haq is awesome.

I still don't understand this proposed event, though.

get together at the show and get drunk

phew. I thought this was gonna be you and Haq making out on a webcam for a couple hours.

I don't see why that has to be ruled out so quickly.

Btw, Cotton, your name was tossed about in that same chat -- regrets about not having a proper Cotton Send-Off. I tried encouraging them to do an LA visit now that you're here. Dunno if my suggestions fell on deaf ears.

"Live-boarding" is just the most embarrassing name I could come up with for an obner meetup.

And Cap, this is far from my most acerbic era. What gives?

Seems like you found a new tough side the last few months. Nothing crazy, I'm exaggerating a bit, but I'm not the only one to have caught it. You'll pop into a thread, zing someone pretty badly, and then disappear. I figured it was pre-Bar stress m'self. Again, not night/day or anything, but definately a little more mustard than before.

no?

I think it's when you set that spammer on fire, Haq.



wow. That makes me feel incredible less despised than I would've expected. and yes, I wholeheartedly endorse LA visits, including what I'm hoping will be a regular drunkening at the Coach & Horses on Saturday afternoons.

i would really love to meet rodney - also was kinda maybe planning on going to the okkervi river show.

what shows are you hitting up rodney? i'll come in for some drinks but i'll have to see if any of the shows get me going

i was thinking of coming down on 9/15 to see gza & jamie lidell at mc carren pool.

but i am off the weekend of the 28th, so maybe i can make it down.

Fick, you live in bklyn? This is new-ish, right? rparis be damned, we should have already done something about this.

She flew out of our little nest and went Bigtime. HeFick's a really good guy, too, btw.

i do. i posted a thread about it here, but then i disappeared again so it's cool.

let's do something, i would love to hang out with some obner folk (and if anyone can give me a job, that would be neat as well).

wait, i will have a roommate by 9/28 and therefore have some extra money. i want to see okkervil river in nyc.

well then you should come.

There is a very good chance I will be visiting NYC beginning Oct 1. I am looking into coming early to take in the Okkervil show and hang with youze guys....

bump - anyone else?
