Damn, if it was a week later, you guys could come see a band I play in (if you would be into that sort of thing). I often play in Manhattan, but mostly in the Village. I might have a gig on that night, but I don't drink so I might bring the meet-up down anyway.
About the suggestion of taking the Staten Island Ferry: yes it runs every 30 minutes, but only until 1 a.m., then it runs once an hour (on the hour on Staten Island, on the half-hour on Manhattan side). You end up planning how long you stay out based on that damned boat schedule. It's even worse on the weekends, where it does this after 7 p.m..

I'll be taking the Babylon line. Although I might not be able to go because I could be working a wedding that night.
You do realize that if I come, you're going to be forced to sit through another one of my interviews with you.
Your birthday isn't too far off from mine, which is 3 days later.
You guys asked and I don't think many will oppose, OP has been updated with the new location and nearby food spots. WE ARE GOING TO GAF WEST NOW, NOT THE BAR ON 1ST AVE.
The Gaf West Bar at 8pm, Saturday February 18
401 W 48th St
(between 10th Ave & 9th Ave)

Now my train ride will be much shorter
So any word on the under 21 crowd? Will they be able to get in the bar?

I'll likely be there, but I can't stay long due to a dual birthday party that night for some friends.
Damn, and I live on 1st Ave, too! Ah well, I think I can make it on the 18th.
Yes, thank you sir!

I'll try to make it. Monday might be tough because it would be a little late but definitely the 18th should be good.
We have a call sign? A secret handshake?

Just look for me, the tall bald guy. I'm considering wearing my Mr AngryFace shirt but I don't even know how many of you new GAFfers would recognize or remember.

I missed the last one. I will be there.
Has there ever been a gay Gaf meet up in NYC before?
No not at all! Some of my best friends are heteros. Lol.
I actually want to go to the Gaf meetup on the 18th but I had my trepidations because I didn't know if it was inclusive of all types. :\
It appears that it is open for all. So I may stop by.

The Gaf West means I don't have to take the route I usually take to get to school (A-->7-->6 Uptown) on the UES. That means I'll be there in about 25-30 minutes via the A train from Washington Heights. Assuming the place can accommodate a huge amount of people, it's good. I wonder if we're gonna stand in the public cameras ala EvilLore's antics since we're near them. That would be funny.
If anyone has GAF shirts, now you have a reason to wear them; it'll make it extremely easier to identify people. I don't have any yet, but I'm thinking about checking out a couple of them soon; especially the God Hand shirt. Otherwise, name tags will do just as nicely.

Well, we can always walk to Times Square from GAF West for the live streaming videos (10-15 min walk).
I wouldn't stress having name tags. May be fun but we'll be conversing with one another just fine. Hopefully the weather will be nice to us but it'll still be too cold to just wear a gaf shirt.

I'll try to see if I can make both dates. What time are people planning on meeting on the 13th? Might be having drinks with a client from work.

Just notice there's one on the 13th..I'm down for that one as well.
Yep.
I don't know any of yall besides Kisaya and KC, but I'd be more than happy to get to a bar and hang out with some really cool people who are also looking to have a good time and we're all wearing our GAF shirts.

I have to call and double check if they're still doing it but that's mostly the spot we should hit. Say around 9pm?

Sounds doable...any chance of further downtown? Thinking village or LES perhaps?
