Happy Hour/Games/Air Hockey night! Wed 12/2 at 7pm

Though I've never been able to make it to one of the previous Brooklynian Games Nights, they seem pretty successful - see here:

(Surely these been a more recent one than these - hasn't there? My quick search came up fruitless.)

Let's have another! It's been more than 30 years (gawd!) since I last tried air hockey, and I'm sure I haven't improved, but what the hell!

Where: Ocean's (fka Brownstone Billiards) at Flatbush and Park Place
When: Wednesday December 2, 2009 from 7pm* to .... [*originally scheduled for starting at 8pm, changed to start at 7pm due to popular request]

So - anyone in??

Edited to:
Change start time to 7pm
Add poll to vote for preferred date

Can't do wednesday's I'm busy in the city on those days but if everyone wants that day I'll try and switch my plans. Why don't we start a poll and see what everyone can agree on? Most importantly we need WiFi and Carny to be there because they have a historic game-night rivalry that must be satisfied!

They serve food now but I still want AlBaz.. I might have to sneak it in. Or ,whatever , I'll go stand outside and eat it. I might not care that day. :twisted:

8pm is kind of a late start. Can we do 6pm or 7pm start time?

We do?

Seems to me that he beats me in airhockey, he won't touch me in table tennis or darts, and we have yet to settle anything in billiards... but I'm game! Wed actually works pretty well for me... I'd probably have to bug out at 10pm, but that's better than most nights.

I could do 7pm, Em.

Wed 12/2 works for me. I could do 7 or 8, but vote for 7 so my BFF can come.

Have added poll for the date, and changed start time to 7pm. After all if we start at 7pm we can hang out with Em and enjoy Happy Hour drinks!

I've never been in Brownstone Billiards.... we don't need to reserve space/tables or anything.... do we??

Yay , 7pm!

Thank you.


We didn't have to reserve anything the last time but that was over 2 years ago , tho.

^^You're welcome!

Aww , so nice.

I'll be cheering for you , BFF. And for my GFF.

Anyone up against them is getting dirty looks from across the room. :twisted:


Whyfi , I'll cheer for you as long as your opponent is not my BFF or GFF.

C'mon now. There's no ducking thee undisputed champeen at air hockey.

You coming, pensodyssey? I haven't seen you in ages!

I voted for Thursday.

That's all I'm sayin'

So obviously I vote for any day BUT Thursday.

...but I'll make sure to make it if my favorite nemesis is going to be there.

It's ON!!

In the left hand corner we have Whyfi VS. Carnivore,
On the right we have Whynot VS. Scarlett!
Now, on the sidelines we have Em and Mamacita VS. Two ALBAZ BURGERS!!

:twisted:

Scarlett is going down.

...no, not like that.

I'm only free on Thursday but there's a chance that I could come on my way home from other events Wednesday or Friday to say hello.

Awesome!

Are we staying there , or will ya'll be moving it across the street to Mooneys/Sharlenes at 9pm like the last time?

Hmmm. The last time I played billiards, I hit the cue ball so hard it flew up and hit the guy at the next table.
And the last time I bowled I tossed the ball at the pin sweeping thingee (it didn't go back up and I figured if I just played the next bowl it would get out of the way).
And no one who knows me has ever trusted me with a dart.
But other than that I'm, umm, game.
Oh, and any night works for me but the poll doesn't let me vote for all three nights.

Love air hockey! Whooo!

ok, so in one corner we have Em, Mama, and now Stuart.

(Stuart, I still owe you a beer from the fishing trip mishap).

Those sitting are obligated to participate in a competitive eating contest.

Huh? :shock:

Why you sticking butter fingers near me and my GFF??

He is to play with you all night. ...preferably with the darts.

Fine.

Maybe Mougar needs a teammate.

Mougar, you coming?

Edit: Moogar.

Might be out of town a couple nights that week, but if I can yes

Cool!
I need to check this board more often...

Not good for me this time. But I really want to in the future.

Fighting over why the other team should get me. I'm having flashbacks to high school.

There's no varsity jacket in my closet either.

...I find I do best at games of chance.

What a Brooklynian air hockey gathering would look like:



And for that very reason I am definitely in. (whenever)
