June 11th meetup location suggestions:

So far rocky sullivans. any others?

Rocky Sullivan's is fine but I'm always in that area for work and stuff. :shrug:

Do you have a suggestion for a bar that has relatively cheap drinks, is near a subway, and won't mind a bunch of drunken dems on a saturday?

And are pretty cramped, too. :P Maybe the best bet is to stick with that one since a lot of DUers have been there before.

in west village near ace, bdfv, downstairs has pool and darts

it's cheap and weird and it stinks of beer, and they have a back yard where you can smoke with a beer in hand.
last time i was there a meeting of the mustache club of ny was going on.
also, drinking liberally has been there. so they're used to this stuff.
and i think being near times sq/ PA is pretty democratic.

Sounds like it. Does it have a pig outside?

It's a cool place and has a nice outdoor area.

red head. and i keep thinking she must be ruby. LOL.

can you get me more info i.e. exact location, will they be open in the afternoon etc. ?

the guy on the phone says they never close...
i just thought that the location is convieneint for travellers, not so hard to get to Penn, Grand Central or Port Authority from there.

Rudy's Bar & Grill Jazz Juke Box
627 Ninth Ave, NY

There is a really cool bar in Brooklyn, just across the Manhattan Bridge with a subway station staircase literally outside its door.

Moe's has a wonderful multi-racial vibe, is owned by two young dynamic women, and best of all, is very progressive and anti-Bush. There are a few funny posters of Bush looking stupid, and in the weeks before the election last fall, the owners donated a percentage of receipts to the Kerry campaign (or it might have been the Democratic Party).

Great food is literally steps away -- Japanese, Vietnamese, Soul Food, South African, West African, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Italian, French -- anything you could want.

Moe's is in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn next to the Layfeyette Stop.

We will give you a list of common and random items to find around the area. Bring back as many items as you can find by 5pm. There will be a great party at Moe'sfollowing the event.



there are a lot of review/promo sites you can google , the only negative of the few I looked at was the place can be loud


IF Moe's is the place then they need to be presented with a DU sticker/+poster

The subway service is so messed up between Brooklyn and Manhattan on the weekends, it might make it a pain for a lot of people and confusing for out-of-towners.

but it sounds like a great place. i'm gonna write that down.

june 11th starting at around 3:30

Looking forward to seeing some fellow NY DUers. Thanks all.

are you bringing whathisname?? i think that was your SO, but i never assume..
anyway that would be good.
LOL.

Yes, that's what I call him from time to time. What's his name. Tee hee. Mark and I both will be there. Looking forward to seeing you. If you feel like, we are renting a place with a pool in the Hampton's for that week. I think Stephanie is coming out on the 4th and staying the night. You are more than welcome to join us any time that week.

I'm out here for the summer...anyone else?

when ?

i'll try to arrange things so that it is.

If others are planning to attend, I'll probably stop by, but I wanted to confirm that these meetup arrangements have become definite:

Rudy's Bar & Grill Jazz Juke Box
627 Ninth Ave, NY
(between 44th and 45th Streets)

Saturday, June 11, 3:30 pm


So, is this actually happening?

Looking forward to seeing you!

hadn't responded to this because I thought we'd be at Mom and Repuke Man's place down the Jersey Shore over the weekend.

Now, however, it appears we might go down Sunday instead... so party on!

I didn't bring an aloha shirt or anything to identify myself; would a "Partners in Policymaking Hawaii" button do? :-)

I just got back from vacation on oahu!
Looking forward to meeting you.
