Avalon NYC friday

[Mtn Man]

bizzump for pregame, looking more likely now.

No word on the dress code lowering yet.

A few kboard people should be there too.

Can't make pregame. Look for Waldo once you get in.

"Big Gulps, huh? Alright."

[MFI]

So who ended up going? Found it impossible to meet anyone, too crowded and LOUD!

Same here, only found kboard friends that I already knew. It's hard to ask change for a nickel when it's that loud. At least I got to say hi to Charlotte

Showed up at pregame with a few friends but didn't find anyone else. Oh well, still had a blast. Didn't get home until after 4am.

C'mon, make me feel bad. What'd I miss?
Make up stuff if it sucked.
Was the movie in one of the smaller spaces there?

It was in the whole place. There were video projectors everywhere so you could see it anywhere you stood. Gotta say it's a pretty big place so you could spread out a little more. Seemed a little rushed compared to other shows and they didn't give out as much swag as I've seen before. I like when they have an intermission at these things but that didn't happen either. The entertainment was kinda funny. Razhel is a hip hop modern day "Fat Boys beatbox". I give the guy props for what he can do with the mike, just not my thing though. Even he said "Hey I think I see a couple black people in the audience, that's good ".

I got to talk to all the stars beforehand and get the autographed posters so that was very cool. I thought Nobis was a huge guy but he's only a little bulkier than me and same height. I guess a camera and big mountains does that to you

We hit a couple bars after that and didn't get home until after 4am so it was a good night.

The movie was great, they had the bass way too up which is prolly what was causing it to skip a lot. At least the $10.00 drinks had some alcohol in them. Met Micah Black outside, he was trying to eat a hotdog. The bouncers kept telling he couldn't stand in front of the place (a crime in NYC no doubt). I tell the guy this is one of the stars of the movie (blank stare), I say let the guy eat a damn dog if he wants to, these people are here for him (blank stare). We move down the road a bit and all Micah kept saying was how happy he was that we came down to see the film, how much he loves NY, and we should look him up when we are in Jackson. We where all pretty sauced so I wonder if he would even remember the encounter, I sure will. Mtnman says he thought Nobis was a lot bigger, I though Micah was way bigger than he is, still a big dude to be pulling back flips off cliffs. Went to the Peculiar Pub after and consumed many glasses of Belgium ale. $200.00 well spent.

Nice, wish I coulda made it.
All those places try to keep people from standing outside--usually you just end up in a fight with bouncers if you 'disobey'.

It was a cool venue. Glad to get the chance to hang out in there as I would never otherwise do so. A little creepy drinking Bud in a church. I thought that I am too old to be star-struck, but it was great to meet Micah and Nobis. Sage appeared to be out of his head.

Only thing won by anyone I know was a woman's medium northface base-layer, caught by my pal who weighs upwards of 250. Watching him try and stuff his man-boobs into that shirt was probably the highlight of the evening. Thoroughly impressed with the film. I want to have Victoria's babies.

I caught the train into NYC to check out the show. I missed the first 20 mins. But what I did see was great. Got to meet miss Moats and some other missfits. The guys seemed to be having too much fun with the circle of blonds eye them up. Black was putting on the moves. I think Honc was standing next to me at one point but I figured there had to be more than one guy sporting a red and white striped shirt in the club so I didn't ask for change.
One of the funnier things I saw during the show was this guy standing behind the big screen holding what looked like the DVD player that was running the show. I hope that guy got paid to stand there. Made me think of the Wizard of Oz.
The sound seemed to be off a little but the show kick ass. Music was good. There wasn't really a bad place to be watching from casue there where screens everywhere.
The guy doing the beat box stuff after the show wasn't that bad. Mary..Mary... had a good time.

-->If you had a tab at the bar check your card. I was billed twice!

[Honc]

Jstead, too bad. Would've liked to meet a mag. I avoid putting cards down anywhere in this city. A good friend of mine tends bar uptown and his boss tells him to add charges to cards if:
1) he thinks that the cardholder won't notice
2) if the guy is really drunk.

Dubious at best...

Is this at Atlantic Grill by any chance? They did it to Mrs. OldLarry and 5 of her friends (EVERY ONE of them) one time. Pathetic.

[Honc]

It is not the AG, but that certainly does happen there. A group of girl friends of mine had an experience similar to your wife's. Solid business practice...

Welcome to New York, hang on to your wallet...
