Consumerist Meetup NYC: 11/4 6-9pm Botanica Bar
Woo! We've locked down the first Consumerist Meetup for Wed, Nov 4th, 6-9pm at Botanica Bar, 47 E Houston St, New York, NY.
It will be a great opportunity to mix with fellow and hang out with Consumerist writers. Open bar until we use up our tab, happy hour drink specials, so this event will be 21+ only. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Just look for me under the big clock. I'll be wearing a green LED nametag.
Why a green LED nametag?
You wouldn't understand...
Houston Consumerists, why don't we meet at the same time for potluck? Pick a spot we can go in case of rain.
@speedwell, avatar of snark: I just have to mention that I was totally shocked the first time I heard how that street is pronounced. Also, apparently the guy's name was Houstoun, so it's spelled wrong, too. Wild.
If there ain't a Flckr stream with at least 100 high-quality photos following this wondrous event, my kitteh's gonna cut someone...
@MostlyHarmless_Under Influenza: Speaking of which, I'm going nuts because I keep thinking today is Friday, and I'm all, "open thread, whoo!" and then I realize that it's only Thursday, cause the Cute Overload calendar on my desk tells me so.
God help the bar management if they screw anything up with this group.
@SarcasticDwarf: At least they are not meeting at an Ikea. The whole receipt checking would go out of hand really fast.
@pecan 3.14159265: Some of my hamsters are in the 2010 Cute Overload calendar. The wall calendar, but still.
I'm marking it in my calendar...I'm not positive I can make it, but I'm going to try! :)
@katstermonster: Oh wait...that's a Wednesday. No dice. :( If it were a weekend, I definitely would, but I can't really justify missing a class and making a 6+ hour round-trip on a weeknight. Bummahhhhh.
Should make it a national Consumerist meetup night!
I'm in if there's any other Minneapolis Consumerist-ers here!
sure, why not?
the red paddy had will be sure to come as well
Totally there!
I'm there!
@The Porkchop Express: Hmm...where can we go for Potluck? I mean if anything, everybody come to Chilis! There is only like four of us, so I could get us all 50% off of food? That's money savin!
@nybiker: The one week I finally get to go to New York and you plan a meetup during this time? I love you consumerist!
Is it 21+ to get in?
I'll be there with bells on!
@speedwell, avatar of snark: There is no way I could make that time. Fo me it would need to be Saturday evening or anytime Sunday.
I will be there, but my hamsters will stay home. Looking forward to it.
@Laura Northrup: Omg! Sooooo cute! But now I'm left wondering: where does one aquire hamster sized party hats?
why Wednesday?
I have that day off, but not the next, so no Amtrak from Boston for me!
@Kimaroo - 20% More Kitty Added!: @mcnerd85: Saturday's good, and I can cope with Chili's. Which one?
@GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: You know, I was driving on the highway up here one day, and I saw a car with a scrolling LED license plate frame. I was simultaneously awed, horrified, and thought of you.
Why go to a bar? I can make cocktails at home for much less money using my own liquor blah blah blah...
I might make it.
Too bad is a wednesday. I was looking forward to it, oh well next time I guess
Is there a requirement to RSVP or show something at the door? How crowded do these things usually get?
Awesome! can we get a meetup in Chicago?
Oh fun! Mind if an occaisional poster (mostly lurker) stops by?
Hey, I actually could attend this! I'll put it on my schedule.
@MostlyHarmless_Under Influenza @pecan 3.14159265: : I know - and I'm bummed because I'm totally going to miss the party tomorrow. I've got to drive to the end of the earth to meet a potential post doc sponsor and I won't be back online until late. By then, the party will be done. Sigh. So thanks to Laura for mini-open thread today.
Count me in!
