Aw, come on. WEDNESDAY?

Awesome - just added to my calendar. See you there!

Do one of these in DC and I'm there.

Also, I think you meant "hordes".

@braak: What? You got a show to watch that night? It's new comics day so we can all swap comics.

I hope I can make it.

That's it...
D.C. people.
June 21st
7pm
Old Town Alexandria, the Torpedo Factory Food Court
Sci-Fi Pub Crawl. Come dressed as someone or something at least vaguely sci-fi. (remember that foam rubber soaks up lots of spilled booze & cops will shoot at people holding anything that looks even remotely like a gun)
All for it say "yea!" ...or just make bleep bleep noises.

@Ma1agate: I was hoping they meant whores.

I'm not just gonna be there. I'm gonna be there with FUCKING BELLS on.

My only hope of making it is using Ben's island moving machine. :(

@moff: Bring your Skrull mask!

@Annalee Newitz: It's a Wednesday. I'd have to take off work to come up to New York in the middle of the week.

Ya'll have to do one of these in Texas sometime.

@braak: Dude, we can all see your comment history, so telling us that the world will come to a stop if you're not doing your job is so not going to work.

@Annalee Newitz: I threw it away.

OR DID I?!?!???

I am so there. we should see if there doing a sneak preview of the Sex and the City movie afterward, and we can all go see it together!

@braak: Plus going to work hungover sucks.

@Log1c: even if you don't do anything.

@braak: Hell yeah, take off work. We can write you a note on psychic paper and sign it "the Doctor."

any chance they're will be hot chicks there? Hot chicks into SCIFI? Please God.

@moff: Heheheh. That's a valid point.

@TheKeyMaster: Probably not if you post comments like that.

@moff: Yeah, you're right. Any chance they'll be some ugly chicks? into Scifi?

Cool.
I am there too.

I would love to be there, but can't make it. (sigh) There will be another get together soon, right?

I think this might be fun. And I never go to stuff like this.

I usually drink by myself in my closet. Nude. Crying.

@TheKeyMaster: Any chance a chick will want to talk to you after you post shit like that? Nope. You are totally not invited.

@TheKeyMaster: It's too late, you've been made.

The get together's off, everyone! We'll have to have a new, SECRET one, that no one can tell that guy about.

@braak: Preferably on a god-damned Friday.

:< That sucks, I'm underage. Though I do live in New York.

Crap, I will be in New York from Friday 31 till June 9. Wednesday? What's up with that?

@braak: yeah! and if it can fall on payday, even better.

@braak: C'mon, skip work! You know you want to. And *we* want you to.

@Annalee Newitz: @braak: RELAX GUYS, it's a joke. Geez.

@Aethyr: Sorry! Can't you get a fake ID like normal people?

@TheKeyMaster: Har har har. Now shut up and make me coffee, bitch. In your maid outfit.

@Aethyr: You can hang out outside. We'll wave to you through the windows.

@TheKeyMaster: You're totally invited. Annalee's probably just having a hot flash or something.

@Aethyr: Do they card here? I thought New York City kids all started going to bars when they were 16.

@Annalee Newitz: ooooo, I think I might have a crush on Annalee.

Dang, if I only made twice as much, I'd totally drive down to The City next Wednesday for drinks...

You guys should keep doing these, maybe I can get to one some day. NYC is way more likely than SF or even DC, at least.
-Kle.

@Annalee Newitz: Maintain that mind-set and this is going to be a good meetup.

Buffalo's too high-class for all y'all, eh? I see how it is. NYC. Pffff...

@Miranda Kali: I visit D.C. semi-regularly. Next time I'm there, we will totally have a D.C. meetup (not that you can't do one without me). Usually hang at the Capitol Lounge.

@Aethyr: Just go in on someones arm, thats how all the chicks do it here. Card the boyfriend, let in the girl.

Finally! I'm canceling my plans for that night to attend.

I'm down.

@Ed Grabianowski: Can't you, like, take a train or car or something? Does this show my profound lack of understanding of NY geography?

Is it sad to show up this alone? I work pretty near there in SOHO.

@Efflux: What, you think the rest of the folks here are bringing dates?

@Ed Grabianowski:
Splendid! Yes, I think an io9 reader meet-up would be all the better with someone who actually writes for io9. ...'Nother set of fingerprints is always handy, as they say.

I'll still probably try to get together a pub crawl on the 21st, though. It's been too long since I last put on funny clothes, and drank with a gang of rowdy geeks. ...well, out in public at least

@Annalee Newitz: It's about a 7 or 8 hour drive. D.C. is actually just as close to Buffalo as NYC, as the Crow (T. Robot) flies. Not really day-trip material. Though I guess I have a free donut coming...

@Miranda Kali: I'm a cyborg, I have no fingerprints. I suspect I'll be out there sometime this summer though!

@braak: I think that was sarcasm.

@Miranda Kali: Wow, that's just a little bit exactly smack in the middle of my 'hood. I live about five minutes away from the Torpedo Factory.

I'll do everything in my power to be there. No promises on a funny get-up, though.

@Ma1agate:
Excellent! I'll check one for "skrull in disguise".

@Efflux: You won't be alone. There will be DRINKS.

damm when are you doing a london one :-)

oh man, bar full of sci-fi nerds? awesome of awful? guess we'll see next wed...
