Only when forced to listen to bagpipes.

Bagpipes. Are. Not. Rock.

And you can keep the Guiness- pass me a White Russian please:D

Comrade Ivy, you got it! :D

LOL~ I love that word comrade! LOL. I'm Russian. :)

Were you born here? If not, when did you come over?

Hey to all the NYC GC'ers! While I'm *not* a New Yorker, I *will* be stuck in JFK for about 4 hours on Saturday Dec. 13! Dinner anyone?? :)

I was born in Leningrad. I moved here when I was about 7 and a half, like 13 years ago. It was 13 years on Thaksgiving Day cuz the day that we moved here was Thanksgiving. How cute is that?:)

Sure, if you come into Manhattan. We can eat at Chumley's.

I was at Chumley's a while back. We thought that it was a pub/bar, but it is a restaurant much to our surprise. So a dozen buzzed and rowdy people showed up there looking for a few more cocktails, and we realized that we were in the wrong place. I thought that they were going to give boot us out the door so we left.

Chumleys's does have a bar crowd, and it is a former speakeasy, but it is also a very good restaurant. It has as much character as any restaurant around. I like going in the prohibition era entrance through the alleyway.

When were you last there? My friend who suggested Chumley's said that it had changed since the last time that she went. This was in October.

I was there in July. What did your friend say changed about it?

It is more of a restaurant than a bar. They have a bar, but you can't sit there. You have to sit at a table. When we got there the place was very bright, not dimly lit like a bar. I'm not sure how it has changed since I had never been there before and have nothing to compare it to. It is the type of place I would go to eat, but not hang out and socialize over drinks. I hope that makes sense. :)

Next year I'll have a class till 7 in the Bronx on Thursdays and another class till 7 but I don't know what night of the week yet. I'm crossing my fingers for a Monday or Tuesday! Usally any Friday I ready, willing and able to meet for drinks...

and slosh my way to Hoboken to see the boy afterwards hehe fun for him!

i would love to meet up with nyc gcers!!! i live in dutchess county, so thats not too far. keep me updated on when yall are gonna meet!! and are there any other chi omegas going?

Where in Dutchess County do you live? I go to school in Poughkeepsie.

if its on a friday i will be there :)

DaisyKLP i pmed you!!

I'm going to the Ginger Man on Tuesday for Phi Psi's monthly happy hour, and I'll speak with a manager about having happy hour there on Friday, January 30th at 6:00pm.

I love a man who goes and gets things done! ;)

I dunno if I'll be able to the 30th now that I think about it, I think I'll be up in school then. I can try to come home for the weekend but that's when we have rush going on so who knows...

I love a woman who loves a man who is me. ;)



School over carousing? Get your priorities straight!

LOL, I do have my priorities straight and any other day I'd be the first one there but I dunno if I'll be able to cuz of rush. I really wanna come though, if I have nothing to do that weekend, then I'll def be there.

I hear Billy singing..."Don't go changing to try and please me, I love you just the way you are"


Is it just me or does the Ginger Man sound like some holiday themed strip club?? A girl can dream!!

OK, you caught me. Only its a "gentlemen's club." The whole happy hour thing is really part of my little conspiracy to get you ladies there for audition night. ;)

I KNEW IT!!!

How tarnished do you think my crown is????

LOL that is too too funny. :)

I don't know, but you can't wear anything during the audition. Not even your crown.

my untarnished crown!
 

Glad I could amuse ya'll. I may just show up to the Ginger Man with a tiara on my head...

Re: my untarnished crown!
 

Let us know ahead of time so that we can cover your walking path with flower petals.

Re: Re: my untarnished crown!
 

Let's see if you can find ZTA's flower the white violet during winter in Manhattan....

Re: Re: Re: my untarnished crown!
 

If I can buy gourmet, organically grown fois gras at 3 in the morning, I'm sure that I could buy white violets.

Re: Re: Re: Re: my untarnished crown!
 

I tip my crown at you sir. ;)

I got back from the Ginger Man a while ago, and after spending 2 1/2 hours with my fellow Phi Psis, I spoke with a manager.

Here's the deal about Fridays. They are busy until close. We are welcome, but the only way that they will reserve a table for us if there are 20+ of us.

Or we can do it earlier in the week and have a nice table reserved, but many people have expressed that they may not be able to show up if its during the week.

I say that we go with Friday and try to get 20+.

Thoughts?

I agree, though the place will probably be more crowded, weekends are usually better for more people.

I guess its time for people to start RSVP'ing...though I am still a bit confused on the date. Did we finally settle on the 30th?

Well,either way if it is on any Friday in January count me in. So we got Russell and me, 2 down, 18 to go!

Yes, the thirtieth day of January of the two thousand and fourth year of the common era.

Right now, there is 60% chance of me attending. It is too far away to say for sure.

I definitely can't make it. Ok there's like at least an 85% chance I can't make it. That's the first weekend of rush. 'Nuff said. Be sure to drink extra amounts for me though!

I can probably make it...shopping for my tiara till then!
