apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

crap. I'll be in San Fran that week. Sorry to miss the fun.

Yay! I think I'll finally be able to make it to my first AT event.

Yay! Same here! And I can finally trade cola drink recipes with PTOO!!!!!

It's in ink in my calendar, and I do not like the crustiness of white-out, so I'm planning to be there. I'm VERY much looking forward to what will sort of be my third 4th AT-related thing to attend in real-live meatspace.

Yeah! I plan on being there too.

Meatspace? Perhaps I should make an extra effort to get there from Connecticut?

P2 - are you going to be there? I may wing in from Chi-town and finally introduce you to Luigi!

Wish I could go, I REALLY DO. I've been inspired by AT and wish to meet up with some of you. Its that it would be a LONG swim and alot of thumbing my way across the country.........

Have a great time for me!

Aloha!

C.C.

I will most certainly be there, as this will be the holiday party my own company no longer has!! Hope that the Built offices have a photocopier! :)

And I think we will even be able to lure sitegeek in from the 'burbs to don his party duds and attend. So Kathryn, all introductions will need to be discrete. ;)

Now, what to wear!?!

For those who've never been to an AT event, they are always tremendous fun, and really nice and low key, and the attendees are really great... even if you arrive "stag", you will be chatting someone up (or being chatted up by someone) in no time.

Joan, you should definitely make the effort to get there from Connecticut! Why? Because worshipping at my altar is a lonely job, but somebody's gotta do it, so why quit now? I have to at least meet the person who repeatedly said nice things about my contest entry!

But RE: Meatspace -- you do realize that just means in real life, as opposed to cyberspace. I have no idea what's on the menu, but I don't think that address is in the meatpacking district at all.

By the way -- Sneaker-mail = when you actually hand deliver something within your office; face-mail = when you actually speak to them in person. It's been years since I got the little e-mail that went around with a list of such things, but those few stuck with me, because they're kind of useful and fun.

I gotta say, though -- I just LIVE for how the red chair and the red blood and the green chair in "Chair and Dead Wife" combine to make a very festive holiday illustration for this little thread!

:) Curtis, you've made my afternoon. Now I'll really have to consider getting down there.

Curtis--

Oh, THAT'S what meatspace means.
Hmmm, I think I'm busy that night. ;)

Joan--
Curtis is worth the trip.

Ooh, goodie, count me in!

P2-
I just now saw that; thanks! Meanwhile, I've got to think about what I'M gonna wear.

Joan-
P2 is also very much worth the trip, too.

I'm going to try to stop by for my first AT event, assuming my official office party (from 5:30-7:30) doesn't get too out of hand.

Little chance of that, unfortunately.

Quaffing, guzzling AND a Gift Shop! This just keeps getting better!

For the SoHo/Chinatown impaired, perhaps some train suggestions/cross street?

what's with the lockhart steele obsession?

all -

i am such an AT groupie. count me in.

can give you lovely door to door instructions from anywhere in the city.

The AT party is on my To Do list for next Thursday... I wonder if we'll be sampling the new Bouley Better Box wine?
(I kind of want to try it...)

Yes, and so could Google maps or the magic voice in the Ford Escape Hybrid. We call her Navigonia.

Or, one posting of a cross street could prevent a lot of people from having to look it up themselves.

I'm going to guess 22 Howard is between Broadway and Lafayette. Howard is a teeney street one block north of Canal, that only exists for a few blocks.

THAT is my Holiday Present to p(2) and the rest of the AT crowd!

Google maps doesn't work with my decrepit version of Safari.

My handy dandy mapquest -- I don't have a Navigonia of my own -- tells me Built is on Howard between Crosby and Lafayette, one block north of Canal. Appears that the closest subway stops are the 1-line Canal Street and the ACE Canal Street stops, but I defer to anyone with better knowledge of the area.

Don't do #1 train, or ACE unless you live close to one of those lines because the Canal St stop on the 6,N,Q,R,W,J,M and Z lines are much closer. I would even get off at Spring St on the 6 and walk south along Crosby until you hit Howard. If you know where Balthazar is (or the Starbucks just by it) then you know where Crosby st is. Head south from there.

Ah, landmarks! NOW we're getting somewhere!
jamie pup, you da man!!!

Ah yes... my grand plan to draw out the correct answer by posting incorrect info on AT proved fruitful yet again. Yeah, that's what it was.... ; )

I will be there, and am tryign to bring my look-alike (not twin) brother, Kevin, his wife, Cherry, and her sister, Genevive. It's Genn's birthday that night.

Looking forward to it!

Hope to be there!

Would love to come!

Me + 1

Yay! I can finally come out from behind the screen and meet everyone.

Hey is it okay if I bring one other comrade?



Joaquin Aviles

me + 1

looking forward to it.

I am a somewhat new AT reader, but live in Chicago. I would join the festivities if I were closer! Have a great time...are there any other AT readers in Chicago??

Wish I could go, because I'd really like to meet everyone, but the commute from Boston isn't all that easy during rush hour :). I'm also actually preparing for my own holiday party on Saturday. 42 people. Yikes.

Oh, I wish I could go! Where's a private jet when you really need one...? I will have to make do with my office holiday party tonight... at the new(ish) Computer History Museum, which might be nifty.

Oh, I'm bringing my friend along. She's a new AT convert.

Sounds fun. Will try to make it.

I want to come, but can't make it. The last get-together was really fun. Have a drink for me!

xoxo

Fiona--
Bummer! I was hoping sitegeek would get to meet you!

"Where's a private jet when you really need one...?"

Aquarabbit - I ask myself that all the time!

I would love to be there, but will settle for the recap tomorrow.

And PHOTOS!! I want to see photos! I hope lots of you plan to take cameras so that at least one person will actually remember and thus have photos to post tomorrow.

At least I know I'd have a good time if I could go.... someday I'd love to be able to put actual voices and faces with screennames. (And see how well what I've envisioned actually corresponds with real life. That's always a hoot.)

Wish I could be there to meet everyone in person (but couldn't make the airline points work out economically to get a direct flights over and back...) So have a good time, all. I'll crack open a "40" on the west coast right around the time the party gets rolling. Cheers! ;D

Awww, I'd love to meet sitegeek. Another time, definitely! Have fun...

I'll be there. (I'm a daily lurker)

Wish I could...I've become a junkie, but alas, Toronto is also at a distance.

i'm in (i'm a newbie)

Sadly I cannot go, as I am frantically cleaning and preparing for a party tomorrow night (and hoping that at least half my guests will still find a way to come in the event of a strike, otherwise I'll be splitting the entire chocolate rum cake with my boyfriend and roommate.)

hope you folks all have a great time.

Turns out sitegeek won't be coming in from the wilds of New Jersey after all...

So I will be "stag".

Uh-oh. ;)

Enrique--
We will cut away to you for a live remote feed, so be prepared. :)

Unfortunately, the dicey weather here in the frozen tundra (err...Chicago) made me reconsider my travel plans. Sorry I have to miss out this time. Luigi, could you at least dance on the tables in my honor?

check. i'll be there.

I'm coming by. I'm a newbie tambien!

I don't think I RSVPed but I'm going to be there.

I have managed to acquire a splitting headache so I think I'm just going home. Too much staring at the computer, I guess. Sorry to miss it. I hope I can come to the next one.

nt, you didn't miss much. it was uneventful. they really oughtta get it together and throw a good party. i'd ask for a refund but I didn't pay. by the way, both the guests and the venue were marginal.

Hello,

We are looking for design related sites to exchange links with. Our site's (UrbiaDesign.com) core product is a modular (ultra-suede) upholstered headboard.

Please contact me if you would be interested in exchanging links with us.

Thank you,
Chris - http://www.urbiadesign.com

i am a AT junky, I am a new yorker, and I am living in Germany......... Damn it!
SO I can't be there, but I am thinking about you crazy kids...... and in honor of the party i think i am going to celebrate all by myself and buy that coffee table I have been drooling over..........damn...........

sam--
maybe guests like you were the reason you thought it was uneventful. jeez, suck up the free booze and STILL complain.

who needs you?

Anne is hilarious (with gorgeous gray-blue eyes), mary is as sweet as ever, lori2 is a real sweetie, and frank is rather, um, handsome. Sara Kate is striking and gorgeous as ever...

But Luigi, did I miss you?

P2-
Were you and I were portrayed the same actor? Because we were never in the room at the same time. Sorry I missed you!

I sure enough left at 8pm as I needed to, but I did get to meet Anne, too, and pivoting-perfection Paul and Nora and Guido and Margeret, and I got to see again.. jimkk and maxwell and leggy supermodel, sara-kate.

AND I bought the T-shirt with the squiggle on the arm. Nice job on the design! It's purty. So anyone who happens to catch a glimpse of Jim Nabors' love child by Ruth Buzzi on the elliptical machine at the NYSC on 94th and Broadway will see the apartment therapy T-shirt fairly frequently.

Curtis, sorry to have missed you (and jimkk, and I think jamie pup).

It was like planes trains and automobiles getting there last night, but had a great time when I finally arrived. Good to see not-really-grumpy Paul, who was looking very dapper. So fun to meet the faces behind the names. And the relatives of some familiar faces... Genevieve (did I get that right?), happy birthday! (ps: also cute & gorgeous!)

Thnx, MGR, SKGR, Oliver, Jill, and the folks at Built and Meter.

PS: The Chair & photos looked AMAZING on person. Even the nekked lady ones. :)

oops... IN person

Every person I was lucky enough to talk to was just wonderful:

Curtis (sure 'nuf, red shirt and plaid tie), Nora, jimkk, jamiepup, AL (AmyLyn), Paul, Guisepie (I'm sure I misspelled that), Maxwell, guido (female - who knew!) and P2!(I'm going to start putting an exclamation point on his name) - fabulous smile! I'm sure I met others for a moment but my head hurts right now so I can't be blamed for not remembering.

FABULOUS PARTY DAWLING!
