After another shitty experience with American Airlines I made my 12 hour journey to New York on Friday. I feel like I acomplished a lot:
- Pastries from Gian & Piero Bakery in Astoria.
- Multiple rounds of beer at McSorley’s.
- A burger at Ted’s.
- Wings at Croxley’s.
- Picked up a Wii Fit at the Nintendo World Store.
Friday evening I met up with Josh & Emily at the Nintendo Wold Store and then we headed down to McSorley’s where waited for the infamous Jim Wallis to arrive. Things were a little more low key this time around at McSorley’s but then again everyone’s a year older. We moved on to the Telephone Bar and then called it a night.
*Side Note: For those wondering Jim’s black eye did not occur at McSorley’s.
2 things:
This looks like a flamboyant pre-cursor to Boston 2009; black eyes, beers at Irish bars, arm wrestling?
And hats off to Emily for letting Josh wear a shirt that encourages more drinking!
Boston was discussed, much like it was discussed at the great consel of Pirates & Vikings in 1237.
I heard at least five “yaaargh’s” signifying an impasse towards a final decision.
