I'm helping setup a Forum Holiday Gathering which will take place in the Backbar. So in order to guage what night would be best for people to come on over, I'm setting up a quick poll.
-
What about New Year's Eve as it looks like there is nothing worthwhile going on anywhere? I can't make it either of those nights, especially not a Monday night during a very busy week.

good idea. too bad i'll be beachside, in the bahamas, staying at my friend's house for the new year! (sorry i just had to brag about that a little bit)
-
Kosmo, Dec. 17th is when The Return of the King opens so I expect that a lot of people will not be free then. This is a great idea, though! And Monday works.
-
backbar=I can't go?
poo :(
-
I'm gone by the 22nd, and have a few NY Eve parties. I think this is gonna be a toughie to work out, but I want it to work!! :(
No other options, or maybe before/after the movie?

oh you can go, you just have to drink club soda.
-
I just realized that Wednesday the 17th is impossible for me to work out because I have an after work departmental Christmas party that day. We have 3 of them that week but the other 2 are during the work day.
What about a Friday night?
(Oh, yeah! I was a week off in my head :D )

I understand Samantha. Just realize that it pays the bills for the club to exist....and learn to sip.

or you can just be brave and drink the pitcher water. it's free; no guilt whatsoever.

The 17th was my first suggestion, seeing as not many of the regulars would be interested in Mindless Self Indulgences, but then I remembered about Return of the King. So the 22nd was floated as a possibility and instead of assuming people would be in town, etc, on that date. We decided to setup the poll to get a feel if people could come that night. So far so good... Hope to see all of you who can make it that night :)
-
I guess I am spoiled by free drinks at my regular haunts, but $3 seems very hefty. $2 I can understand...but $3 is insane!!
pitcher water scareth me not!

nawww, a bouncer, but not a bartender. :p the right amount of cleavage on the right nights = permanently free drinks. plus I already gave them so much money in the past...I bought myself passage for awhile.
-
Yay, a forum gathering....And at the 930 club too. I am starting to feel weird about meeting all the weirdos already.
Is Shadrach really a sadsack
Does sonickteam2 really have a big goatee
Does bagster really keep all her belongings in bags in a shopping cart.
If you click on this guy (http://www.angelfire.com/apes/homonids/#) do big eyes really appear? Whose website is that anyway?
-
woohoo a party...........
i can't wait.........but please don't anyone tell the loons........ :p
-
Not sure I would want to see either of those shows though...

SHUDDUP! on DRINKS!!!

:( I can't go on Monday (I'm off for Florida Sunday for Christmas week).
But, as an alternative, Black Cat on Friday, Dec. 19, for the Washington Social Club. See y'all in the Red Room before the show!
Or, conversely, there's the Carlsonics show at Black Cat on Sat., Dec. 27th. I'll be back for that one as well....
-
this is something even I might pop by for :)

the dweebs will be at the trilogy tuesday showing of the first two extended versions plus a midnight screening of the return of the king, and will all be in costume.
the dorks (half of the staph) will be watching the extended versions at home, then going to a midnight screening, not in costume.

Since it looks the 22nd is a go, I'll try to swing by the Red Room for the WSC.
-
What start time on either date? When the club opens?
-
probably
-
So are we all going to get cheap drinks and 930 club t-shirts?
-
ooh a t-shirt................yaaaaaaaay
-
the details are being worked on...
-
cheap being the key word on everything, er, anyone, during a holiday party ;)
-
Well, I'm pretty damn excited....T-shirt or no T-shirt. Is it definetly the 22nd?
-
Thanks for the correction. I guess it's the poseurs that will be at the movie on Wed. True dweebs and dorks on Tues.

i guess that i'm a nerd than... Extended version of "The Two Towers" in the the theatre on Sunday and at some point soon after the 17th "The Return of the King". It's gonna be tough keeping Kosmette away from Aragon for too long thou :D
-

-
Does Viggo play Aragon?

last week was the extended fellowship, this week is the extended towers, next week starts the return of the king.

I happen to think he's hot all the time. And Kosmo, I may see you at that TTT showing on Sunday. You going to the Uptown? AND I'm proud to be a LOTR dweeb. I would be at Trilogy Tuesday except tickets went on sale and sold out when I was in New Zealand. No big deal. I went to see FOTR last weekend and will see TTT this next weekend. The extended versions are spectacular on the big screen.

Back to topic......
whos is actually going to go to the forum gathering, presuming it is on the 22nd?
-
if its the 22nd, i'll be there. perhaps poorlulu will bring copies of her pictures from the bdb last month for me? *hopeful*
-
2pm at the uptown in the balcony, that is if there isn't a huge line of fans when we get there...
-
I can't go the 22nd. <img src="http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/cry.gif" alt=" - " />
-
If it's on the 22nd, I will be there.
-

-

Ok, so thats already enough people for it to be fun. And one newbie for me to meet.
Sorry to Bagster and th others who cannot make it, if that is when it does turn ut to be.

I resent being called a newbie...
-
Thanks for being sorry that I can't be there (hell, now I gotta buy you a beer!), but such is life. Getting a multitude of folks together can be nigh near impossible. But I will persevere and organize some of my own gatherings!! ;)
-
wait a minute, does that mean I will have to pay $20 to get in? Only to hear KRS-one upstairs?
-
Originally posted by mark e smith:

i'll be there. . .can go on either night.
-
typically the backbar is open to patrons not attending shows...

Originally posted by redsock:

GOOD! Can you persuade Sonick to come along?
and Bagster... I will let you buy me a beer anytime. (Anytime poorlulu lets me, in truth)
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

ok, whew...cool.
-
So is the 22nd a go? If so, I should be able to show up. I figure I owe Lulu an X-mas present this year...
In your face, markie.

I'll try...but he lives in Baltimore, so it's a hike.

But who pays for shows anymore?

ooooh pressie...................yay
can i bring mistletoe?
-
ok I will definitely do my best to be there :) I may leave early and find a grungy bar elsewhere that'll serve me up and get pissed and just stay in DC for the evening with a friend. for someone my age I don't drink nearly enough...I haven't had an alcoholic beverage in months! I'm so unrebelious :(
please don't bring mistletoe and drink. that could be very dangerous for many of us.
-
I'll be driving up to Maine the morning of the 22nd and not be back til Monday the 29th, i know this will disappoint all of you but i'm truely very sorry. Please forgive me. :(

Which is one of the main reasons that I probably won't be able to make it. ;)

tell me about it.. paying for shows is just.. so... so mainstream

I am in the middle in Columbia. My car can comfortably hold 4, 5 will fit but it is tight, if anyone from the north wants to do the 1/2 way jaunt. I can on a good night get to and from the club in about 35/40 minutes. So with passengers, I would guess more like 45-50.

As was stated by Public Enemy, Yo bum rush the show!
-
So, are we for sure not doing the 17th? That week would be better (for me selfishly)...I understand we'd miss some folks for the whole Tolkien thing, but we're gonna miss folks on the 22nd too.
What about the 18th, nothing of worth going on that night. Seems like a no brainer. thoughts?
-
This is very cool...if it's the 22nd, I'm there.
-
so hello!! anyone have anything to say about the 18th?
-
Originally posted by redsock:

there is a private function at the club on the 18th before the macy grey show which means the backbar would be unavailable that night.
