NY LSTers!

@scubaron I used to play at Corner Billiards which is now the current Amsterdam. You name it, I've had it at one point or another. Southwest, Tascarella, Hercek, Skip Weston, Prewitt, Fanelli, etc.

I rarely play these days. Only when I get a new cue in, I take it somewhere and shoot around for it a bit just to figure out if I plan on keeping it or not. That's about it. Love the game, just don't have the time for it and in Manhattan, it's super expensive to play. I love how cues are made and working with a maker in designing one.

Cool. How many cues in your current collection ? Any pictures you don't mind sharing.

Everything is more expensive in Manhattan. Send me a message if you want to play. As an Amsterdam league player, I get perks on table time.

I was joking about meeting up around Times Square. Times Square is one of my least favorite places in the world and I'd rather not hang out at all than hang out around there.

I used to be convinced I hated New York - it turns out that always arriving at the Port Authority bus terminal and walking through or around Times Square to get to my destination were 95% responsible for that feeling.

This thread got weird! While I enjoy all the chatter, am I correct that me, @Graeme, @Fala and @ironchef (and various partners) are the only people actually meeting up?

[Fala]

Looks like it @Pugilist :/ I thought @gougetheeyes was coming, as was @SeeSea?

[Pugilist]

We are totally happy to chill with a small group!

[Fala]

Is @daveborjes coming?

[Fala]

Had a feeling you were going to be working, dang.

[gougetheeyes]

@MrsGougeTheEyes Sunday the 23rd are we around?

[MrsGougeTheEyes]

Yar!

@MrsGougeTheEyes Sunday the 23rd are we around?

yep!

[gougetheeyes]

Ok all, looks like we can make this! Did you already decide on a place for drinks prior to dinner?

[MrsGougeTheEyes]

I obviously still don't know how this thing works so I understand if you'd like to leave me home.

[Pugilist]

Yay!!!

Are you guys in Brooklyn or Manhattan?

[gougetheeyes]

Coming from north Brooklyn, where you guys staying?

[Graeme]

We're staying in Park Slope.

[CultExciter]

I love Park Slope!

[gougetheeyes]

@Fala @Pugilist @Graeme @ironchef did you guys all decide on Manhattan? Sundays could be fun at the NoMad bar on 28th.. I hear it's usually pretty quiet (as opposed to the crazy weekdays). I think they close at 8 on Sundays so we could grab one or two there and head somewhere else for food? @MrsGougeTheEyes care to weigh in?

[Pugilist]

I think Manhattan would be ideal if anyone was coming in from NJ, but if not (so far no Njers have piped up), then we would be equally cool with Manhattan or Brooklyn, and trust you locals to pick a cool spot!

[Fala]

We're up for whatever is best for the group. Staying in Brooklyn would be fantastic though ;)

[MrsGougeTheEyes]

Sounds like we're staying in Brooklyn! Are most people in South Brooklyn? If we're the only north BK peeps we can come down to you since we have a car and getting around is a pain in the arse.

I just have no ideas for a spot because I'm never in that neighborhood.

[Fala]

We are in northern Brooklyn too @MrsGougeTheEyes, and we also have a car. If ya'll wanted to hang at our place, we're up for hosting.

[Pugilist]

We love Wburg and don't mind heading up there!!! It is the only place we've been where everyone looks like @Graeme!

[Fala]

Hahahahahahaha...

[ironchef]

Coming from Manhattan so shouldn't be an issue for me if there are train stops close by. Just let me know when and where.

[Fala]

@Pugilist @Graeme - what are you in the mood for, or really like to drink/snack on?

This probably isn't very helpful, but we're both really easy going when it comes to food and drink. I prefer places with good beer, but I'm not especially picky about that, especially seeing as how most places serve up good stuff these days. Good company is the most important part of it anyway.
