Wordsmoker New York City Social Mixer

December 15, 2010 in Wordsmoker

I changed the name from “Meet-up” to “Social Mixer” because to me it sounds more glamorous. Also “meet-up” is one of those word pairings that I can’t decide whether or not should be hyphenated or separate words. For the purposes of this text, I chose the former, but I also made it irrelevant because we’re now having a social mixer.

After much deliberation, and at the suggestion of MissLinda (who for some reason thinks that I’m a hipster), I have decided to call it for Radegast Hall & Biergarten. It just seemed that out of the entire two suggestions that I had, this one garnered the most support. At least that’s my official reason. Unofficially, they have beer, pretzels and sausage, and I’m a fan of all three.

I’ll have my computer with me so that we can drunkenly bang away at the keyboard with our mustard-stained phalanges. Because it could be cumbersome to log in and out, I’ve created this account so that you can just type your comments in the body of the post like Virus does when he live-blogs an event. Hopefully it works out, but if not, I’ll just trash the whole thread and get drunk with whoever shows.

I hope to see many of you there, but I’m also very forgiving of regrets, as these are the Holidays.

The social mixer is scheduled to go off at 1930 hours. The event is located at

113 N 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211-3923

Oh, also, it’s Chillbear writing this, just so you know.

    Am I the only one excited about this? Radegast is one of the few bars that gets me to go to Brooklyn without any bitching and moaning.

    I am excited for this from afar. I will be thinking about you guys and hitting the refresh button repeatedly so I can feel like I am there. I know there will be drunken dancing on a table at some point, just have to figure out who is the most likely culprit.

    God damn it, what the hell time is 1930 hours? Don’t make me Google it.

    Okay I’ve Googled “1930 and Biergarten,” and we’re either attending a Hitler youth rally, or the party starts at 7:30pm. Or both. I’m sort of hoping it’s both.

    If I could have convinced my employer (who also happens to be my mother) to have bought me a ticket there for this I would totally be there. Alas she said I already get enough perks & she’s not buying me any more plane trips to NYC

    I’ll be there. I’ll be a bit later than 7:30, as I’m still toiling, but I’ll make may way over.

    I might make it out later tonight, unless my crapulence starts acting up again.

    Miasma! Do! I’m heading over there in a little bit.

    I wish I could meet Miss Linda and see Bookish’s boots.

    Boots?!?!? I’d much rather see Bookish’s… never mind.

    @BJ: Oh, go to bed. We both have to get up early with kids. You have your whiskey and wine and I have my ibuprofen PM. ‘Night, hon.

    Somebody broke the liveblog so I’ll report in here. I am home now after a gallon of beer and can report that when I left, Chillbear was dancing on the sausage grill wearing Bookish’s boots, Gianna’s skirt, and Senor Wence’s smile.

    Alright my little cherubs, my lemon drops, my darlings, I am off to bed. I hope your night is filled with booze, boobs, and that guy from the Dos Eqius commercials. Be safe! xoxo

    I think the live blog died to be ironic since we were in Williamburg. Or we killed it with TOO MUCH FUNNY. Or it had a heart attack trying to digest all those sausage pictures we were trying to feed it. In any case, it was a good time and I got to have some bratwurst! Bratwurst! Oh, and see some funny people I haven’t seen in a while, which was great.
    And I found the place just fine and got home in under an hour, so I was wrong. Yes, wrong. Great venue.

    Oh man, I just realized this means all the nude pictures from the live blog are gone too. Bummer.
