The Summer 2014 Brooklynian Gathering: Thursday, July 24th

whynot_31

See you, and any other readers that want to come to the "small pre-gathering", then.

Will Mrs whynot be in attendance?

whynot_31

Yes, I believe she will attend both events.

clueless

As long as you allow folks from other neighborhoods to join in, I might be able to make one or both gatherings.

whynot_31:  we met several weeks ago at Reclaimed Home - sorry I've been too busy to post since then but looking forward to being more involved in Brooklynian.

whynot_31

All are welcome.

I think I will be able to make both. Have a meeting on the 24th in Manhattan, but hopefully will still be able to meet @ Berg'n...looking forward to checking the new place out as well as meeting you all.

I don't know how many people will show up for the mini event on July 17 at 7 PM at Covenhoven, but we will spread a bunch of the Brooklynian business cards on our table so interested people will know who we are.

Based on our appearance, they can then decide whether to join us.

I stopped by Covenhoven on a whim around 8:45 this evening. I had just walked over from the farm stand at the Brooklyn Museum. I guess everyone had left, but I found the cards at the bar. The bartender didn't know anything about them when I asked. 

whynot_31

4 of us had two beers each between 7:00 and 8:15 PM.

...we weren't memorable.

stacey

Hey - speak for yourself mister lol

whynot_31

Stacey is memorable, I would never deny that.

The rest of us must have cancelled her out.

What an incredibly wonderful method of getting to know the people that make our communities what they are today.

See all you Brooklynians there!

Cheers!

whynot_31

Because Berg'n has yet to open, the July 24th gathering will also be held at Covenhoven.

730 Classon Avenue, 7 - 10.   Thursday.

I'm sad I'll miss this, but I have another event all the way up in greenpoint that night. Booklaw is also booked up. Hope ya'll report back on how it went!

whynot_31

You'll be missed. Hopefully we will get some newbies and lurkers to reveal themselves.

...you don't need to reveal your real names.

Wish I could be there with you kind folks!

Kind regards from Lake Wobegone,  Minnesota

@Prodigalson
If you like, imagine us as young, fit and good looking. 

newbies and lurkers-
If you come tomorrow, you might want to have more realistic expectations.

prodigalson

Well, some of us are forced to imagine we are young in spirit  as they used to say. 

Enjoy the meeting!

Right!

whynot_31

We are in the front area, with cards very visible.

A batch of 1000 cards were recently ordered, and will be available.

whynot_31

It was good meeting newbies/lurkers:

@clueless
@foolio
@mugofmead
@foley_newman
@travelwriter

And of course @nomad @xlizellx and some other regulars

travelriter

Loved meeting all of the clever, witty, sarcastic, funny posters from brooklynian, finally!

foolio

good to meet you all in meatspace, and pleasantly surprised that everyone was as young, attractive, diverse and lovers of piggy back rides as in the advertised photo.

whynot_31

@xlizellx was the most honest about her appearance.

She is TOTALLY pregnant.

@xlizellx was the most honest about her appearance.

She is TOTALLY pregnant.

Indeed.  9 more weeks to go...

whynot_31

In no more than 12 weeks, I expect this thread to have a baby photo.

This allows you to rest for about 3 weeks.

xlizellx

thanks :-)

It was great meeting all of you last night - hope to join you again soon!
