NYC - Lets meet up have a few drinks

[Xanth]

Hey New York, lets put some faces behind these Avatars and arrange some kind of meet. Have a few drinks at a bar in the city perhaps, let me know who it interested and we will go from there.

[ih8vtec13]

I'm game. how about Mc Sorleys Ale House on St. Marks?

[Xanth]

As long as they serve Makers I'm happy. I would love to set something up for this weekend or tommorow even. Lets see how many chime in.

[ih8vtec13]

I would say that they would have a huge selection of drinks there, they are the oldest bar in NY. I have been looking for a good excuse to go there for some time now

[Xanth]

Looks very very interesting. My GF will love the fact that women have only been allowed there for 30 years. LOL

Mc Sorleys is awesome. Gotta order a lot of beer at once. Get like 6 light & 6 dark at a time.

[Xanth]

So you in Jesster. :)

[JessterCPA]

Depends on when it is. I may not be able to get away from the family to go to NYC. Depends when it is.

I think we should do a bar/drink thing during the NYC auto show in April. We all go to the show, see the Suby display, then to to a few bars. It'll be a bit warmer then also.

Personally I like d.b.a. on 1st Avenue, and Ginger Man on 37th Street.

[ih8vtec13]

I like that idea, go to the auto show and get wasted after.

[Xanth]

thats sounds good too. April auto show en mass should be quite entertaining.

[Xanth]

mmmmMMM. Salivating just thinking about it. As a med student who works about a 100 hours a week, man alcohol is my friend.

[ih8vtec13]

100 hrs a week where do you find time for booze sleep and hangovers? Being unemployed I find lots of time for all of the above and snowboarding, with some job hunting :lol:

[Xanth]

Ohh man just wait, I will tell you all about it. It seems all I do is Work, Drink, Eat, Shit, Check this board in that order.

[ih8vtec13]

Damn I just go snowboarding about 4 days a week, I am curently on day 2 of my break and going back up tomorow night for Saturday and Sunday maybe Tuesday and Wendsday.

[llmask]

lol.

where do u go? i'm going to mt creek tomorrow. even though it sucks, it's the closest one.

[Clash]

Mt. Creek sucks? what dont you like about it? its the best one ive been to.

[ih8vtec13]

I go to Butternut in great barington Mass. but in like 2 weeks I will be heading up to Holiday Mountian, it's somewhere in NY upstate. I have family up there and I have to swap visits with them and they visited me in CT the other weekend.

I stay in Winsted CT on Hiighland Lake and we hit Butternut then head out on the lake on snowmobiles afterwards at night. A few years ago i hit 110mph on the lake in 70 degree weather on 25 inches of ice and 6 inches of slush. that was a blast.

[eggya]

Mt. Creek sucks? what dont you like about it? its the best one ive been to.I hope you mean one of the best in this area (or the best terrain park) b/c otherwise I guess you've never been to any resorts in Vermont? Canada? Anywhere but NJ?! Don't get me wrong, I am fortunate to have a somewhat decent mountain so close (1 hr drive), but I have very few nice things to say about Creek.

What I don't like, let me count the ways
-too crowded
-too crowded
-too icy
-too crowded
-you call that a mountain? more like a hill in my backyard
-overpriced (hmm, $50 to dodge little kids on a crowded icy hill or $50 to ride in peace in the pristine canadian rockies? tough choice)
-too icy
-did i mention too crowded?

Maybe I'm spoiled, but pretty much everyone I know agrees w/me (and mostly all of people I've met on the lifts at Creek). We only go there out of convenience. I've been to Killington, Hunter, and Whistler, and all those were outrageously better (though VT is definitely more expensive, it is well worth it). I'm basically only using the Creek to practice for my upcoming trips to Banff and Okemo. And for the times that I don't have the energy/time/money/vacation days to drive 5 hours or take a plane somewhere.

But anyway, snowboarding=awesome. T-minus 16 hours until I'll be strappin my boots on.
