Though I've never been able to make it to one of the previous Brooklynian Games Nights, they seem pretty successful - see here: http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=42192&sid=7f7c1db23ba70b8ca3c6d06ac190c2d8 and http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34967&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 (Surely these been a more recent one than these - hasn't there? My quick search came up fruitless.) Let's have another! It's been more than 30 years (gawd!) since I last tried air hockey, and I'm sure I haven't improved, but what the hell! Where: Ocean's (fka Brownstone Billiards) at Flatbush and Park Place When: Wednesday December 2, 2009 from 7pm* to .... [*originally scheduled for starting at 8pm, changed to start at 7pm due to popular request] So - anyone in?? Edited to: Change start time to 7pm Add poll to vote for preferred date
-
Can't do wednesday's I'm busy in the city on those days but if everyone wants that day I'll try and switch my plans. Why don't we start a poll and see what everyone can agree on? Most importantly we need WiFi and Carny to be there because they have a historic game-night rivalry that must be satisfied! More details: Address: (2 ENTRANCES) 308 FLATBUSH AVENUE (Next to the 7th Ave. Subway Station) 11 7th AVENUE (Bet. Park Place & Sterling Place) Tel: 718-857-5555 HAPPY HOUR! Monday - Friday 3pm - 8pm $2 Coors Original Pints $3 Blue Moon Pints $4 Margueritas $4 Red or White House Wine per glass Monday - Friday 8pm - 10pm $8 Coors Original Pitchers And they have food like chicken wings, fries... etc...(\__/)

Whoa , they sure added a lot to that place! http://oceans8atbrownstone.com/ They serve food now but I still want AlBaz.. I might have to sneak it in. Or ,whatever , I'll go stand outside and eat it. I might not care that day.
8pm is kind of a late start. Can we do 6pm or 7pm start time?"Some people make their goals the stars,

We do?
Seems to me that he beats me in airhockey, he won't touch me in table tennis or darts, and we have yet to settle anything in billiards... but I'm game! Wed actually works pretty well for me... I'd probably have to bug out at 10pm, but that's better than most nights....not that there's anything wrong with that. -
I could do 7pm, Em....not that there's anything wrong with that.
-
Wed 12/2 works for me. I could do 7 or 8, but vote for 7 so my BFF can come.
-
Have added poll for the date, and changed start time to 7pm. After all if we start at 7pm we can hang out with Em and enjoy Happy Hour drinks! I've never been in Brownstone Billiards.... we don't need to reserve space/tables or anything.... do we??
-
Yay , 7pm! Thank you.
We didn't have to reserve anything the last time but that was over 2 years ago , tho."Some people make their goals the stars,

Aww , so nice. I'll be cheering for you , BFF. And for my GFF.
Anyone up against them is getting dirty looks from across the room.
Whyfi , I'll cheer for you as long as your opponent is not my BFF or GFF.

You coming, pensodyssey? I haven't seen you in ages!

I voted for Thursday. That's all I'm sayin'For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
-
So obviously I vote for any day BUT Thursday.

scarlett » So obviously I vote for any day BUT Thursday.
...but I'll make sure to make it if my favorite nemesis is going to be there.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor. -
It's ON!! In the left hand corner we have Whyfi VS. Carnivore, On the right we have Whynot VS. Scarlett! Now, on the sidelines we have Em and Mamacita VS. Two ALBAZ BURGERS!! (\__/)

I'm only free on Thursday but there's a chance that I could come on my way home from other events Wednesday or Friday to say hello."Now if every newspaper editor had to deal with a reader like Emily, boy, would they think twice, or three times." --greg

Awesome! Are we staying there , or will ya'll be moving it across the street to Mooneys/Sharlenes at 9pm like the last time? "Some people make their goals the stars,

Hmmm. The last time I played billiards, I hit the cue ball so hard it flew up and hit the guy at the next table. And the last time I bowled I tossed the ball at the pin sweeping thingee (it didn't go back up and I figured if I just played the next bowl it would get out of the way). And no one who knows me has ever trusted me with a dart. But other than that I'm, umm, game. Oh, and any night works for me but the poll doesn't let me vote for all three nights.

Love air hockey! Whooo!I believe in peace, bitch.

ok, so in one corner we have Em, Mama, and now Stuart. (Stuart, I still owe you a beer from the fishing trip mishap).For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor. -
Those sitting are obligated to participate in a competitive eating contest....not that there's anything wrong with that.

Jeffrey- a. Hire someone you dislike, and have them tell Em they are you. b. See if Em kills them. c. If she doesn't kill them she is either a nice person, or clever enough to read this even though its addressed to you. This will be great.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

Whynot- a. STFU! b.STFU!! c.STFU!!! Jeffrey really doesn't have anything to worry about.
I am a nice person. Maybe not to you sometimes but dammit I can't help it.You make it so hard."Some people make their goals the stars,

Hey Em, how about we hit up Albaz before the boys go to the Billiards? Anyone who wants dinner can eat with us, or if we can hold back the love for a burger we can wait till afterward when everyone migrates to Sharlene's/Mooneys.(\__/)

If enough people want to go to Albaz, Sonny will make kibbeh -
Does this mean you're in Moooooogar?

You can eat inside Albaz? I thought it was a a bodega with a grill in the back. This whole time I've had the wrong place?? If it is indeed a sit down restaurant then I'm down to eating there before we hit the billiards place. What time did you have in mind,Mama? Oh and Mougar....that would be awesome.
