I hate the Marquis.

jrzyshawn, do me a favor and go stand out on 42nd and block a parking spot for me. I'll be there right about 745. ;):rolleyes::D

Okie doke, I'm making a quick Dunkin' run then heading down. I plan on being at the restaurant around 745 unless I get foiled by the West Side Highway.

Since I haven't met most of you here's a brief description of what I look like: I'm wearing jeans (:rolleyes:) with a solid black sweater over a white collar shirt. I look like a homeless Mr. Rogers as I have giant bags under my eyes from workin' last night and it was too much effort to shave.

I've also, for your convenience, picked-up a cough that sounds like I have a walrus residing in my throat. You guys will hear me before you see me. Don't worry, I'm not contagious.

I have baglady's cell in case things go haywire. If I'm super-duper early I'll stop by the Marry-rot and try and meet up. But, I doubt that will happen.

Seacrest, out.

Speaking of not suitable for work(somewhat inappropriate language)...for the tech challenged, and not so tech challenged among us...compliments of the Onion News Network and Sony.

Heading out now. My BB is being stupid (no data service), so find me at the bar (jeans, purple shirt.)

Have fun at the Mini Do. If I were still living in PHL, I would try to attend. I know I wouldn't be working today - I had weekends off at my old job. Raise a glass in honor of my b-day!:p

CO 1E Feb 15, 2009 7:18 pm

Any live updates from the mini DO?

I heard the obvious - the drinks were flowing heavily. Par for the course when it relates to members of the 'Box.

Evening box!

If anyone's in IAH this coming Saturday xyzzy and I are putting together a little get together...and as always everyone's invited (except the Otter of course :p) -- Anyways if you'd like to come by please be sure to RSVP so we can be sure to have a spot for you and best wishes to everyone, except the Otter, for the coming week!

That said it's bed time for baby-bird so I'll see y'all tomorrow.

(I suppose the Otter can come...but do realize that I'll give him sh!t until the day he dies for missing DO IV) :D

Okay, I need someone to clue me in on box protocol.
I'm not sure if I should be posting here or over in the Omni "bugger I am drunk" thread....
Due to a medical procedure early tomorrow morning, I'm well into my sixth hour of a "strictly liquid" diet. I've only got a half hour before even that goes away. The basic question is should I;
A.) Continue with the beer intake of one every half hour...
B.) Switch to vodka-tonic...
3.) Just go to straight Grey Goose...
Q.) Turn off the computer and pass out...

Not at all - I'm 28 and would love to see Cosby...I was really upset that I missed him last time in ACY.

Home from the Mini-DO and restraining myself mightily to keep my posts from ending up in the PWD (posting when drunk) thread.

It was a lovely dinner with about a dozen of the NY Box denizens leaning back, drinking a whole lot, eating a bit, and telling lots of stories.

This is something that needs to occur around here more frequently. Thanks to baglady for calling the dinner and everyone else for coming along and making it a really good time.

Agreed. Always nice to meet more of the Box familia.

The whole way home I had an ice-cream headache trying to figure out why anyone would design a urinal to look exactly like a sink. :o
