You really want us to have twin beds CT?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Mack, you don't need much room, unless you are intending to sleep a large dog between you.
Plus, there is the time-honored trick of putting the twin beds side-by-side. Round the perimeter with a long strip of duct tape, and they will stay together.
Sheesh. Way to appreciate my charity!

Shoot. You can get the private room (for 4) with a queen bed for about $30 more.

I'm only thinking of you, you know. After reading your matchmaker thread...

Amen to that.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Nix that $30 more, BTW. In March it would be more like $60 more.
You realize, mack, that I'm going to take credit for this? You have no idea how hard I've been working for you behing the scenes.

D'ya have to stay IN NYC?
I mean, because there are many decent hotels in areas...ahem...just a train ride away from NYC.
ahem.
Areas closer to a certain aggressively friendly dog.
ahem.

No credit for you, CT! You did no work that I was consciously aware of.
Olivet's stealing your thunder.

Hostels are about 25 bucks.. I know of one uptown, near central park but you wouldn't get much privacy there... And there are bugs... Small ones... But it's better than paying 500 bucks...

While I've had much experience in hostels... I think I might pass on this particular occasion.
No, I'll definitely pass.

Thanks, guys, that was getting uncomfortable. Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
Jeez rivka, do you know all the gossip before it gets out? Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
Jesus, does she know about my affair with Nicole behind Phil's back? Does she know whose baby I'm carrying? What doesn't she know?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Yes, Xavier, actually I do.
And I can't tell you -- sorry.
Lalo, yes. And no, I don't. The kid wouldn't talk . . .
As for what I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Okay, we figured it out.
rivka: *thwap*
Jexx decided that we are not allowed to be in New York state without her feeding us. So...sarahdipity and I are driving down and she's dropping me off a hotel in West Point and FlyingCow will meet us there. Sarah will continue to drive down to her friend's at tha Bronx.
Whee! Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
so ... jexx is invited.
Well, we want pictures.
(congrats!)
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Well, that was more like, jexx threatened. And jexx is staying in her own place.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Well, it's not as though this were a big secret or anything.
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Okay, me and my girlfriend stayed in NYC over Valentine's Day/Presidents' Day weekend, and we found a nice cozy hotel called Arlington Hotel. It was about 80-100 bucjs a night, It is at Broadway and 25th St., right near the Flatiron Building, and an easy walk to the Empire State Building.
Check out hotels.com.

Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :
ooo that means I am invited. Wheee NYC. *laughs*
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Yes. And I got that time off. So we can beat both rush hours. Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
quote:It was about 80-100 bucjs a night
That is a deal, especially considering how well the dollar is trading against the bucj. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
*snort*
We're actually staying outside of West Point for two nights instead of one and it's STILL going to be cheaper.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
OK so I forgot to post!
I didn't think I was invited!
(yay mack and matt, by the way)
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Yeah, mack, but trust me, staying in West Point isn't as cool as staying within walking distance of, well, _everything_ in NYC.
-Bok
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Then again, Bok, mack doesn't drink, really, so it's not like the hotel needs to be within staggering distance...
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Yeah, but the while the city never sleeps, a lot of the long-distance public transit does. When you two are having the time of your lives (which I hope for), only to have it cut off at 11pm so you can catch the last train, or find your car in a garage (paying absurd amounts for parking), realize that the subway runs all night and you could be out until the wee hours having a blast, and taking the subway right to the Arlington Hotel much later
Just saying...
-Bok
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Thanks for the heads up, but we're well aware of that. Jexx promised to hunt us down and kill us repeatedly if we didn't come back to her place for dinner, so we'll be leaving the city in the late afternoon.
Personally, I can only afford to be killed once, and I take the prospect of repeated death pretty seriously.

I think my reaction to the two of you chatting was "D'oy! I wish I'd thought of that!" Because I know you both and you seem like a good fit from where _I_ stand, anyway.
You could still have absolutely no chemistry or something. Hairy Moles, Foot Odor, whatever.
But I doubt it.
You'll just have to name a baby after me. Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

Stupid homicidal Jatraqueras...
I think you made the right choice FC

Interesting choice, Olivet -- emphasizing the "I" that way . . .
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
I didn't threaten to kill you, Airborne Bovine.
I threatened you.
But not fatally.

Yes, I will get on AIM.

I get this mental image of a generic Newfoundland-like brown dog, chasing its tail.

ack now I've got this mental image of a big brown dog chasing a Holstein around in circles.
What happens if they colloid?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
I can't even absorb the thought. It's an amalgamation of bad ideas!
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
If they do get together they could have a eutectoid situation on their hands, hooves? Paws?

The question is too diffuse! I can't handle it. Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :
My car has a new oil change! I'm meeting mack in about 2 hrs. wheee. I'm even getting to the point where I'm not worried about getting my homework done or about the fact my house is still a disaster.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
I thought it was quite concrete!
Will Flying Cow's foaming at the mouth turn Mack's knees to gel?

Sarah, if you don't worry about MY house being a mess, I won't worry about YOUR house being a mess. Seriously. If you have clutter issues, we'd just better have dinner at the Burger King. Hee.

I think I punned about all of the exotic phases there are... though CT could delve into partical physics and end up in the plasma somewhere.

Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
I just talked to mack on the phone, she'll be leaving for NY in about an hour.
I can't wait!
Whee!
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
Well, I would have posted an update last night, but the internet was broken. *frown*
Flying Cow accused me of breaking the internet myself, but it was clearly not true because my husband said it wasn't working earlier, so obviously my Husband broke the internet. So there!
I'll post more later, but let me use this opportunity to apologize to sarahdipity for leaving her alone(-ish, my husband was there) with my six year old son while she made all the chocolate chip cookies. I had to go to the hotel to drop off mack's things and let Flying Cow follow me to my house so he wouldn't get lost. Poor Sarah! At least the dogs were still in their boxes, at that point!
Also: apparently boxerdogs have hive-producing drool. I thought I was just really allergic to my dog, but everyone else got red welts after petting him! Poor everyone.
