ah. I'm thinking of the tiny box, sorta like a carton of soy milk, but boozier. I'll have to check out the big box o' love at love's. maybe tonight ... but wait, I have upper canada in my fridge!

Yes, you're thinking of the right thing as far as Bandit is concerned. It's tiny.

The big box is "Black Box"...comes in a cabernet and a pinto grigio, if I'm remembering correctly. The white won a boxed wine blind taste test in Real Simple a while back, so I tried it and was not disappointed.

daveB: Yeah, we do the same thing with bottles. On the rare occasion we have one more that lasts more than a day.

ahh, cool. will check out the black box o' white.

with all of this booze talk, I think this must be asked: when is the next lets get drunk at Soda DH event?

Subject: cigars

On another thread, I suggested a flashmob drinkfest and smokeout (if they allow cigars) at Soda, if the DailyHeights crowd wants to have one.

Getting drunk at Soda is an important part of being a DH aficionado. Nothing says ProHo like getting sloppy with a pierogi.

How about....Wednesday the 31st?

Edit: Wait, here's a better idea. How about 9/12 after we all get back from the 77th Precinct Community Meeting?

I personally prefer the 31st, mostly because I'll be out of town on the 12th for work.

Either one works for me (I think).

I could bring cigars to any gathering after Sept. 3, which is when we're moving in.

I'm working 'til 11 pm on the 31st and I'm out of town on 9/12. Any chance people will be hanging out past midnight on 8/31?

I like the flashmob idea. I could totally use a drink right now.

Getting tremulous... :twisted:

considering I rarely get out of work before 7 or 8, and show up frequently at Soda post work (and have to rush to catch up to everyone else's drunken state - woe), I may very well still be there at midnight. not sure how long I'd stay past midnight, but ...

p.s. I'd only stay that late, though, if other people were there. dodging my Soda-stalker requires assistance.

I'd hang out that late because I'm young and slightly alcoholic. Maybe we can start that night like 9ish, so no one falls over and/or does something foolish....

Is 9/1 good for anyone?

excellent!

Nah, I have an important knitting appointment on 9/1.

I'm new to the game but always enjoy drinking past midnight on a work night with good people.

Yup. We'll be killing 2 birds with one stone because that's the night I went and all the supposed singles were out and on the prowl. Who says DH doesn't give back to the neighborhood?!

I also love 'supposed' singles.

having me around when you're trying to get picked up is great -- the lunatics will line up for me and you'll get to talk to the normal people.
y'all are so lucky I'm gonna be there.

how is that possible?! :shock:

I've only been to two bars in this neighborhood. Bars + me = big fucking trouble, so I tend to stay away or at least severely limit my exposure to them.

bar fights? ability to consume toxic amounts of alcohol and still look sober?

I never knew about it! I've pretty much stuck to within a block or two of Park Place, Washington, Flatbush, and 7th Ave all this time... (I know!) Since I started spending so much time on this board, though, things have changed...

Oh, and I definitely have the ability to consume toxic amounts of alcohol and still appear...maybe not sober, but fine. Next day is quite a different story, though! :oops:

I will be restrained and moderate, I swear.

So is this really happening on the 31st? Because I don't want to miss it and not that anyone cares but that's my birthday which just means I am forcing everyone to take shots.
