May 19-22. Any cool happenings going on? Anyone up for a FAP? There's a lot to catch up on from the past 5 years.

you've been before?

on my radar is Kanda Bongo Man at SOB's (late) on the 19th

9th Avenue Food Fest on the 20th! 9th Ave will be shut down all around Port Authority, there will be lots of good street food, and I'll be in a kilt from 1.15-1.45.

is that an actual local street fair or the same as all the others? because the latter is hardly a scene I'd recommend. though I guess you do see lots of New Yorkers at them.

i don't know what you mean, but 9th ave is the only street fair i go to. It just happens to be specifically about FOOD.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:44 (twenty years ago)

i think g. probably means the identikit street fairs that set up on summer weekends. they have the same tat vendors - discount tube socks, for instance - and the same food stalls (grilled corn, lemonade, cheapy greasy thai, italian sausage) and are generally very uninteresting.

yeah, some quick research suggests that it's pretty much just like the others, i.e. the same cookie-cutter vendors with bad food, the same depressing scene, only much bigger and so perhaps with greater possibility of a local place or two. i guess it could be worthwhile if you've never been to one.

too bad you wont be here on the 23rd. pool party at the hotel qt. it has an indoor pool with a swim-up bar.

Where do you keep your money

― JW (ex machina), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:04 (twenty years ago)

hmm, i guess leave it in your pants? lets have a pickpocketing fap then.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:05 (twenty years ago)

sorry, it's a touchy subject

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Nono, you're probably right. We just get paid for it every year, so I go.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Sundar, I owe you a transit token (cept WE don't have them anymore, oh no!).

where in NJ, sundar? :-)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:53 (twenty years ago)

bad food! bad food! You are all crazy not to love the crappy italian sausages! Everytime I hit the atltantic antic, it's one of those for lunch, followed by some zeppoles and finally a cherry ice. That's a meal, my friends.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 5 May 2006 19:10 (twenty years ago)

you've been before?

Dude, I'm OG. Anyone from back then still around?

where in NJ, sundar? :-)

I'm staying with family in Edison.

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 6 May 2006 14:05 (twenty years ago)

(So, yeah, can we do a meet somewhere that's accessible from NJ?)

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 6 May 2006 14:13 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

more street fair hate
