Jeez, if you guys are this anxious to see pictures, I can only imagine the riotous frenzy that would ensue if you knew about the video.


Well we know now, you just told us...will it be for sale?


Please offer VHS; we only have the little DVD player in the computer and it's so much cozier in the living room, with the VHS player and the wall-length mural of bent utensils from my old summer camp.

dagnabbit? rofl

So where did you go after? Really.


Actually, Joe, we went to the Three of Cups, down in the east village. Drinks were had, I fell in love with both Dag and her friend, then Dag and I got matching "I heart A2K" tattoos on our asses...there's more, but, being the gentleman that I am, I think I'll just leave it at that. :wink:


You guys went bar hopping????

Frank, is it still considered bar-hopping if you only hop over to one bar? If so, then the answer to your question is yes.

It was a lovely evening. The bar/restaurant that Frank and Joe picked out for us was ajumpin and Manhattan noisey. Bodies (very nice ones) were packed in tight and you could pick out pretty much any of your favorite celebrities' pictures on the walls from lovely evenings they too had spent there.

Frank, Joe and Kicky were there when we arrived, though the place was so packed that we must have squirmed right past them initially. We'd spent several evenings with Frank and Joe previously, but this was our first chance to meet Kicky. He's a young fella of Italian descent who - if I was the other gender - would likely find cause to slap within five minutes. As it was, we got on just fine and will be most pleased to spend time with him again, a likely prospect as he lives mere blocks from my NY friend.

Not long after we found our table, Dag arrived. She's a doll, fellas...bright eyes, smart, attentive, and very funny. Everyone kind of fell for her immediately. However, as conversation progressed, it became apparent that her heart beats gus...gus...gus. Thus she demonstrates fine taste as well.

A bit later, Dag's friend Meisha joined us, and we all ate and drank and talked happily and openly about all the rest of you. It was a very friendly, bright and engaging group. I found the evening much too short.

Actually what I really want is some non-embroidered stories of what happened. Joe can tell a great yarn but I so don't believe a word he says. He's one of those deeper truth told via surface untruths kinda guys. I want surface, mundanity, details!


Alright, have it your way. Frank came over from NJ on the train and we walked around in a slight mist through Madison Square Park, south past the Flatiron Building and then down Fifth Avenue to 18th Street. West of 18th, we looked in the Daffy's windows (Cheap fashion) and the Ann Sacks windows ($700.00 faucets and $25,000 copper tubs). I screwed up by not taking Frank into the Old Town Bar for a quick pick-me-up, but then again I did not have to pick him up off the floor either.

We got to Pete's WAY early and stood around watching the crowd.

The rest arrived. Lots of hugs and air kisses but no Dagmar. We went to our table and ate bread and a garlic-laden tomato chutney-like sort of salsa stuff. Ordered drinks. Talked about other members of A2K, Soz's name did not come up. Gus' did. I did not reveal that I am Gus, although I came close.

Dagmar arrived. Chaos ensued. Really, you should have seen Kicky and Frank trying to get a grasp of the situation. Blatham was a perfect gentlemen as was I.

Lively conversation flew back and forth across the table as we waited for our grilled things and grilled Dagmar on her life, times and numerous jobs, one of which she started Monday. Ask her. It's fascinating. We reviewed the ancient history of Abuzz, Raven's Realm and A2K for Kicky.
Lola knows everything except whether or not dlowen has ever met Craven.

We talked about choosing screen names and being true to oneself. Frank Apisa revealed that his real name is Barney Goldfarb and that he's a fugitive from justice, but that he really likes the name Frank. Is anyone still reading this?

Where was I? Oh yeah, pretty good neighborhood bar food, I thought, as I swallowed a whole prime rib and salad. Others had the lobster salad, the big burger and the steak a'poivre. Several rounds of drinks were consumed.

Dagmar's friend Mischa arrived, more excitement, more introductions, lots more questions and asked and answered. She ordered a salad. There was coffee ordered and consumed. Kicky took some pictures. Dagmar took some pictures, Mischa took some pictures.

We split the check and screwed over Kicky and Dagmar who only had pasta and a burger while we prime rib and steak folks chortled. I think I owe them a round of drinks.

Frank and I plowed our way out through the crowd. Pete's is very crowded every night of the week. We walked up Irving Place past the house where O'Henry lived, around Gramercy Park and the National Arts Club. (I love this neighborhood.) We split up at 23rd and Park, I headed for the 6 train for uptown and Frank walked off towards Pennsylvania Station at 34th and Eighth. Yes, that is ten and a half blocks, the man is a machine.

Now was that better?

I'm wondering if kicky is actually photoshopping those pics. Why's it taking so long?

I've loved all renditions of the evening, hyperbolic or less so. They make a neat package actually.
