And it's me. Do you Brooklyn folks still do beer nights? Let me know; I'd love to weasel my way into the next one.

By the way, I have no trucker hats.

Welcome to Brooklyn! You only need the trucker hat in Williamsburg, if you're drinking PBR.

There's a great dive over here (park slope) called O'Connor's. Had a 7 & 7 over there the other night, and a Kaluha and cream for my girl and the total was 6 bucks. It wasn't even happy hour.

How about every first Thursday of the month, or some such thing?

Sounds great. I'm over in Prospect Heights, so I could walk there no problem. We could even cheat this month, and do it on the second thursday...

Where in the midwest??? welcome to town!!!

I've spent the last ten years in Raleigh, NC, but I'm really a Michigander. New York is looking a little, uh, faster-paced than Raleigh, but so far I love it. I look forward to meeting some of you guys.

That's funny. I grew up in Raleigh. I moved to Brooklyn earlier this year. It was cool at first and then it slowly kicked in: Waiting 30 minutes for the train late nights and weekends. Walking three blocks with a heavy sack of laundry every week. $5 for a bottle of Budweiser. Astronomical rent prices. Having to go into Manhattan to the Toys R Us just to get some goddamn air conditioning in the summer. Two months ago I moved back to Raleigh into a brand new apartment with sparkling appliances and a washer & dryer and air conditioning and SPACE and it was at HALF the cost of living in Brooklyn. When I go out somewhere I'm not at the mercy of the public transportation system. It's an incredible feeling and I won't take it for granted ever again. So, I'm really happy that I had the chance to live in the city. But I'm also really happy that I got the hell out of there. That being said, hope you enjoy it!

i'm in prospect heights too. used to live in the slope. never heard of O'Connors. where is it? there's always The Gate on 3rd st and 5th ave, or great lakes on 1st st. and 5th ave.

Sounds good to me. What time? I'm a block away... we should hang sometime.

Man, that place is totally convenient to me, but tonight is not a good night. Next time!

And welcome to Brooklyn.

convenient for me too! but tonite is no good for me either. but i'm looking forward to meeting up for some beers with some fellow brooklynite audio geeks sometime soon!

So tonight will be kind of "off the books", so to speak... not that any of these will be official.
How's 9:30 for those who can make it?

Sounds like every first Thursday is a plan, unless there are objections. We could either rotate the venue or keep it the same, for the sake of simplicity.

want to push it to thursday? that would be better for me too.
