Subject: i'm new. initiate me!

is there a paddle ceremony or something? i'm relatively new to the neighborhood... i can't believe the community has a messageboard, it's amazing and i want to be a part of it! so i'm just introducing myself. HI.

also, i can't seem to find a decent coffee shop anywhere.

    Soda on Vanderbilt apparently is the place to meet other DHers in the flesh.

    If there's a paddle ceremony, I don't want to know about it. ;)

    If there is a paddle ceremony I have a weird feeling daveb is the 'headmaster'.

    Walk down to El Gran Castillo, corner of Flatbush and Park Place, and wait for five minutes next to the door. That is your initiation.

    When you're done, you have to write and post a poem about your experience. :)

    Don't forget to initiate your new neighbors by throwing some trash out your window - preferably the carcass of the chicken you purchased from El Carneviento after succuming to the irresistable aroma.
    Then see how long it takes for the scavaging rats and/ or unleashed pitbulls to arrive.
    PS. I need spellcheck.

    He's trying to make a comeback too. There's posters for him all near my office featuring what's looking like the single most retouched photo I've seen in a long time.

    Wait, didn't he already try to make a comeback a couple of years ago? :? Look, I don't care. The love I have for Jordan Knight, while completely unfounded, irrational and well into its fifteenth year will just go on. And on. And on. :oops:
