A few years ago I attended a post show meet up that Tom held in Jersey City. How often was/is this done?
-
We should do one in August! Yes?
Tom.
-
YES SIR
-
It's a shame I live 300 miles away. I suppose I can go to one of the local dive bars and experience the same thing, though.
:(
-
sounds like fun!
-
Yes! Any chance of having it at an all ages location?
-
We should do one in August! Yes?
Tom.
My birthday is in August!

-
If it is before August 25th, I will be there.
-
Yes!
--Dan from Brooklyn (speaking for myself, Frank from Weehawken, and Mike in Manhattan)
-
Exciting!
-
I dunno. I don't think it's such a good idea.
-
If we do it Aug. 18, I'll be able to get really loaded. <fingers crossed>

I have to see this.

-
I will gladly drag my butt from Brooklyn for this.
-
I think this whole thing is a bad idea. I mean, what good can come of it?

You're just jealous that we're not hosting this one in Sweden.
-

It has to be called this...
-
I selfishly vote yes for the meet up and I'm wishing really hard for it to be the first week of September.

I'm in town for this and wanna get photographed. I teach that day, but it won't be the first time I'd have to head to WFMU from Rutgers.

I selfishly vote for not that week because it coincides with my first out-of-town vacation in a bazillion years. Unless everyone wants to meet up in Puerto Rico.
-
if this happens in september, i will skip gonerfest so i have the money to go. no kidding.

Maybe the meet-up should just be at Gonerfest. Maybe the FOTs should buy Tom a plane ticket.
-
I would like to go to this whenever it happens—so long as it's in Jersey City, or at least the Tri-State area.

...only in my dreams.

Is this the FOT beach barbeque blast bash?
-

No, it's the FOT Beach Boys BBQ Blowout Bash Blast!
-

No, it's the FOT Beach Boys BBQ Blowout Bash Blast!
... with Beer, Badminton, Billiards, Bocce Balls, and also Beer!
-
I'll bring Bratwurst, Beets, Blueberries and Braised Beef.
-
Sounds interesting.
-
Sounds interesting.
Now it has to happen.
-
i hope we pick a date well enough in advance in order for the west coast/midwtouh FOTs can plan accordingly. (ahem) :)
-

Now it has to happen.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine for a moment that Tom had a Late Night Talk Show. Now, imagine that the first guest on the couch, unannounced was always Spike.

Who would be Tom's last minute fill-in go-to guest?
-
Frank from Weehawken
-
Frank from Weehawken
Yup.
I was kind of hoping for Eddie, but he's proved quite unreliable.
-
So what's the next step here? Tom pulls the trigger on a date?
-
take lots of pictures!
-
Beer bust.
-
Beer bust.
Slap fights, too, I hope.
-
I have to navigate past/through a work commitment, then I will pick a date for the post-show meet up.
GET READY.
Tom.

Yes, but do you have your helmet on?
-
Isn't that Michael Portillo?
He does not belong in this thread.
He does belong in that chair.

My MP, until he got dumped in 1997. Alas, I was too young to have voted then.

Apparently I killed this thread. I hope I didn't also kill the plans for a meet-up. For Christ's sake, IT WAS ONLY A PICTURE OF A CAT WEARING SOME SORT OF FRUIT HELMET!
-
JfM, your frantic goings on conjured up a case of the giggles when i read this, thinking it was possibly Tom posting to say, "Hey! Let's have a meet-up two weeks from now!"
:-\
-
Suspense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the cat, but he did kill this thread.

MEET UP.
SEPTEMBER 1.
Details to come.
Tom.
-
I wish I lived in New York or New Jersey.
-
I still don't think this is a good idea.
-
Agh! That's when I leave for my vacay! Oh, the pain...

I'm having that "I wish I never moved away from NY" feeling again. Hope everyone has a great time.
-
This time next year I'll be on the east coast! I hope the tradition continues.
-
Oh well, maybe another time for me. The festivities will probably be better without my presence anyway.

Why, are you an ogre or something?
-
Haha. ;D
Maybe.
-
Awesome! I thought I started work the next day but it's not for a few days after that. I'll almost definitely be there for this!
-
sweet, hopefully i can make it to this
-
We should do one in August! Yes?
YES! HOT AUGUST NIGHT!
It has to be called this...
Can we still call it this?
-
September first! The only Tuesday that month I can't go. Oh well. I'll be stuck in a shitty mandatory college radio meeting.
-
Looking forward to it!

Oh sugar shack! This is going to turn into CANNONBALL RUN for me! I have to get from Wood's Hole, Massachusetts at 2pm to Maplewood to drop off the family to Jersey City for the meet-up.

Yea, I think I"m traveling that week ... oh well.

Hm. A little bummed it's after school starts, but I'm going to try to make it down.

LAST MINUTE ANNOUNCEMENT.
I have a work situation that MIGHT make me push the meetup til September 8th.
I will sort it out by tomorrow.
So dont make crazy plans to get to JC for 9/1 just yet.
Sorry for the confusion!
Tom.

It seems that this board is all about you and Fletcher Munson lately.
I don't get it.
-
Stan: ha!
-
*fingers crossed for a postponement to 9/8 (that doesn't screw over anyone else in the process)*
-
I can probably do either date, this is the greatest news I've gotten in weeks, I'm so pumped. Best Show 4 life!

Actually, Stan, Tom and I are going to be fishin' on the first.
That's right, I'm Tom's favorite. Live with it.

A CHANGE IN THE SCHEDULE OF THE POST-SHOW MEET UP.
The post-show meetup will be held SEPTEMBER 8th, NOT September 1st.
Again, that date is SEPTEMBER 8th.
GET READY!
Tom.

Chris L has apparently been promoted to "Head of FOT."
-
I have not been so much here, but I will definitely be there!

I was going to make a wisecrack but Tom is behind in Mad Men so I shant (sp?). I will just say that as soon as "Paul" Campbell did this dance I yelled out "THIS IS MY NEW DANCE".
Yahoo for meet up!
-
Can we start the meeting at AP Mike's Acme deli counter?
-
im trying to justify the cost it would take to fly in for a post show meetup, but i dont want to come across as desperate.
-
Did I really just book a zipcar minivan for this? Yes I did. Anyone in Cocaine Heights or Kickball City, drop a note, as well as anyone near 14th and 8th in the city. It will be the Party Zone bus, by which I mean responsible driving, no smoking and no vomiting.

Count me out, then, of this Bus.*
* Because I might not be there, and I don't live anywhere near Brooklyn. I'm ok with no smoking/vomiting.

What if someone is suddenly stricken with a stomach bug?

Or what if someone spontaniously bursts into flames?
-
Yeah!

Both allowable. Also, new rule: no murderers.
