September Wordsmoker Meet-Up In Brooklyn

September 15, 2011 in WORDSMOKER MEETUP

Do you have Blake Carrington envy? Ever wish that you could be transported to a lavish party in a magnificent location with beautiful people? Do you have a hat that you’ve never worn outside because none of your usual haunts seem opulent enough? Well, it looks like your prayers have been answered (assuming you actually wasted time praying about something like this).

I am planning a Wordsmoker meet-up on Saturday September 24, 2011 at approximately 7:30 p.m. It will be a magical night of grilled sausage and heavy steins of beer at the Radegast Hall & Biergarten. We hit this place en masse last December and many a beef and swine died because of it. (It was on the back end, when they had to replace the beef and swine that were killed prior to our arrival for our consumption.)

I selected Saturday night because I know that the weekdays are difficult for those of you who work in the city but reside in quaint country cottages. This is not only open to regular Wordsmoker commenters, but to all people from the current or former Gawker community (Crasstalk, TheAwl, Juggs online edition, et cetera). In reality, anyone who reads this could come and we’d be absolutely powerless to stop them.

One caveat: it is Oktoberfest (yes, it begins in September), and there could be a disproportionately high amount of doucherey going on. If this happens, we will just circle our wagons and put the rest of the crowd to the sword. I look forward to seeing you all there.

By reading any portion of this post, you have committed to attending. This is a non-rescindable implied contract.

    You’ve only listed the websites which include people in this invite. Which sites would one have to read to not be invited.

    I have a wedding that weekend. Bummer. I love me a good beer garden. Poo.

    I love it when people spell et cetera with a space in between the et and the cetera. Gorgeous! Sorry to spoil the evening, but I’m committed to a discussion of The Sunflower at Temple, followed by a Slichot service. Anyone who would prefer to do that is welcome to join me.

    And if any of you has a spare Juggs password that’s burning a hole in your inbox, just remember that your friend Skahammer is right here, keeping careful track of all the things I’ve done for you without receiving anything of value in return.

    I’ll be there. It’s in my neighborhood so why not.

    DAMMIT! I don’t get there until mid-October! DAMMIT! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

    And have you considered fighting fire with fire and engaging in competitive douchery? Because really, that might be sort of fun…

    @ uncivilly obedient: RedState.com will get you excused.

    @ Mama Penguino: Thank you for the compliment, but please quit posting competing venues. Your group is invited to Brooklyn.

    @ skahammer: Passwords will be distributed at the meet-up.

    @ Unfun: The guest list just got a little more prestigious. Now I’m going too.

    Sadly, I will be parading about Cherry Grove that weekend. Thursday night or Friday could work though. My ferry leaves Saturday afternoon.

    @ uncivilly obedient: It goes without saying that you and Dahl are always invited. The question is, can you handle Reform Kansans?

    Damn it, Chillbear, I won’t be in New York for a visit until the end of February. You’ll have to eat a long, thick, perfectly charred sausage just for me. It’ll be enjoyable, but be warned those Oktoberfest jerks will probably try to cop a feel after watching that, so keep Unfun close by to protect you.

    Dash it all, I’ll be spending that weekend with friends on the Cape.

    (I never spend weekends on Cape Cod. So this may be the only chance I’ll ever have to use this sentence.)
