Quiet drinking south slope--anybody?
Hi all,
I sometime simply to go get a drink outside, meeting people, but not to party. I'm interested in meeting people but without all the introduction and social talk, though not saying that social talk is bad, or pick-up lines. Just enjoy good drinks and relax.
I wonder if anybody is interested in the idea of having that kind of "meeting" in South Slope area? If we want, we can talk about what we are interested in, books, music, etc but we can totally just stair at walls if we want. If anybody is strange enough to think it is the great idea, give me a line.
The possible point of meeting
--Bar Tono
--Side Car
--Quater
--Commonwelth
--Eurotrip
--Bar Reis
--Barbes

Umm....so like invite someone to sit at the bar with you and drink but not really talk to them?
Couldn't that be done if you just walk in and go sit by a stranger? :scratch:
Why don't you just come to one of the Brooklynian bar outtings? We'll talk to you a little and leave you alone when you want. Just say "alright , I'm done. Let me enjoy my drink and stare at the walls for a bit , bitches." Just like that.No hard feelings.

Gee Em when I read Gretch's post I thought it was a sweet, good idea. Notice that though not a newbie Em may not have realized that Brooklynians do have get togethers much in the same "vibe" suggested.
-
Do they? When? All of the ones I've been to everyone is drinking/eating and happy talkie talkie.
Good peoples and fun.
I don't know.
So is this like chillin' with no strings attached? We agree to hang but we don't have to really chit chat? That's new to me.
Carry on. -
Having never attended these gatherings I gracefully back out now because I certainly don't know what goes on.

Em 26, veets, thanks for feedback.
Em 26, I have actually been the meeting (once) and I liked it. I just posted that because I am aiming at different type of meeting. It's not like I don't like to socialize or talk with people at the bar, which I do often.
What I found at the bar talking with fellow customor is that 1) often you do not know them so that you have to start with greetings, do not really "re-wind" with them 2) you do not see them multiple times so you do not get to know them to actually become friends 3) you cannot predict who to see at certain bar at certain time.
At the party, there could be too many people and it could be loud, it could be weekend, it could be farther from your apartment.
So it is just my little idea, if anybody agree I would love to start that so email me-- but if you are not interested, you can ignore this post. I would love to hear people's comment about how you think, but it's not really my intention to start a debate. -

:shock: what happens is shocking. UTTERLY SHOCKING!!! I mean, never have I seen so much profanity, debauchery and blatant lasciviousness! [-( -
Again, my point is you can be quiet and slip a drink if you want to, not we "should be" quiet.

We are an actually on online swinger community.
We get together for orgies, but call them midnight bike rides, fishing trips, bear mountain trips and bar crawls because our parents monitor our computer use. -
I'm good at not talking. Also, talking.
-
Vidro just sits there and stares. Creepily. At you. :P

That explains a lot. -

HEY!! STFU! Secrets , damn! :-$
Now , lets' get outta this thread before it's too late.
Don't wanna derail it.
I get what you're saying now , Gretch. Good luck. -
exactly, orgies are ok.
but I would NEVER derail a thread. -
Well............ I kind of understand because my mom despises small talk. But the small talk and the what do you do where are you from what do you like is kind of the foundation for a friendship or a relationship. If you're not looking for new friends, Gretch, what is the point of asking people to meet you out and "slip a drink?" Don't you have strangers at any bar? Just last night my sometimes drunk frind and I met this awesome couple at Buttermilk who just moved to the nabe.
-
What happens at a non-social meeting? I confused.
-
i understand what she's saying.
to wit: i ended up with a lovely group of brooklynians at the gate one evening. it was packed, and loud and we were all standing. ten feet away was a group of friends who'd snapped up a table and were playing scrabble together. that was a tad more my speed. (and i love you guys, but i do like a quieter venue at times) -
Twatever. If you like to be loud and drink and chat and have Mamacita slap you on the arm, come with us. If you like to drink but stare at the walls and not talk to anyone, see ya.
-
ok, hello, i was bowling and drinking. and it was fun. and i've done other things with drinking and slapping, and they've been fun. i can do both.
-
I wasn't saying you, potter, although I haven't met you so as far as I know you are just as llllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame as Gretch.
-
Mamachita, I was at the meeting (a year ago or so?) that we did bar hopping from Gate to commonwelth. I actually remember you, it was fun.
Just to clearify, my idea was not to have a meeting witch is unti-social. That's not what I mean. I just was wondering if there happen to be somebody in the neighborhood who is interested in having a small, casual get together in the neighborhood bar, just be mellow and enjoy drinks, we can talk but not because we feel obligated to do so. -
Gretch, I am just curious- where are you from? English is not your first language so you speak another one? Some of us do too and that could be a good connection for you.
-
I do get offended by picked on my language.
-
I don't think she was picking on you, just curious. Scarlett speaks French fluently and probably had hopes of finding someone she could use it on.
-
Totally just curious. Beave is correct!
-
In that case...I do not speak French fluently, sorry. I can speak a little bit.
-
I speak slur very fluently. Just ask anybody! ;-)
-
can we each get a guess? (this intended as a time killer, not a method to offend)
I'm going with German. -
Dutch?
Howdy, Stranger!
