UPDATE: TODAY IS THE DAY
WEATHER IS GOING TO BE PERFECT – 64 DEGREES & SUNNY
OK, let’s get this ball rolling … the sooner, the better, for planning.
DATE: OCTOBER 10, 2015 (2nd Saturday in October)
TIME: 1PM …. until the last train leaves the city
PLACE: BLARNEY ROCK PUB —– 137 West 33rd Street
web site — http://blarneyrockpub.com/index.asp
(Blarney’s is a stone’s throw from Penn Station / MSG. We can start there, we don’t need to stay there.)
FUNDS NEEDED: $10 a beer …… apply for your 2nd mortgage today.
IDENTIFICATION: Simple … wear a NAME TAG. Seriously. “Hi, my name is Stucky!” You can even make your own if you’re a cheap bastard.
You can even try to be funny.
I will probably also have a simple placard on the table “The Burning Platform”
NYC SURVIVAL TIPS
1) Do NOT ask for directions! This will mark you as a tourist … and potential mugging victim. Penn Station is on 33rd Street … just walk down the fucking block. No lollygagging … walk fast!
2) Do NOT look up at the skyscrapers. This screams “tourist”. Mugging victim opportunity #2.
3) Do NOT make eye contact. Do NOT give a friendly “Howdy, how ya doin’?” Do NOT ever say “Excuse me” if you bump into someone. In all these cases, no one gives a shit. Mugging victim opportunity #3.
4) If someone bumps into YOU … immediately check your wallet.
4A) If your wallet is stolen, and that’s all, consider yourself lucky. Do NOT seek out a copfuk. They don’t give a shit. You also have a 68.5% chance of being tazed.
5) Know when you can, and cannot, breathe. This might help.
I am going … no matter what. Hopefully at least one STM shows up by 2:30. But, I understand that last minute shit pops up. Hey, if no one shows up, I’ll have a couple beers, do some shopping (Ms Freud’s birthday is in Oct.), chat with a hooker, and call it a great outing.
See ya then!
