The Manhattan FReeper Happy Hour is back, and FReepers in the NY/NJ area are once again invited to participate. Don't let our classy new logo intimidate you -- these are "come-as-you-are" events, and no black tie is required!
We will meet when we can in Manhattan, after workdays or on weekends, for a pint, a burger, a soda, or whatever you fancy. Friendship is the purpose, and we will meet where prices are low to reasonable to accommodate as many as possible. Each event will begin with cocktails/beverages (drop-ins welcome) and continue with food (R.s.v.p. requested).
History: We began the MFHH after September 11, 2001 to support each other and build friendships during a difficult time. Our two meetings were at O'Lunney's and Rive Gauche, in Sept. and Oct. 2001. Cacique posted pictures afterwards and we got some nice comments. Everyone expressed they had a very good time.
To be notified of events, FReepmail Silly, or e-mail freepersilly(a)mac.com, or bookmark and subscribe to this blog. If you'd like to host events when I am unable to, please be my guest and let me know the details. I'll maintain a ping list and keep the group notified.
Let's do two events right away in December -- one next week (week of Dec. 11) and one the week after (week of Dec. 18). I realize the holidays are busy, so please FReepmail me your preferred days and I'll try to book them soon so people can have time to plan. Whether we are five or fifty, I guarantee you a good time.
I'm looking forward to meeting many old and new friends.
Still being,
Silly
p.s. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and everyone Wang Chung!
Hiya, Silly! This is a clandestine post (on my Treo during a loooooooong marketing meeting down here in Soho!). Please add me to your ping list!
I will also ping everyone in the New York list twice (only), with a request that they reply to me if they would like to be included. This group will fall off the list unless they opt in.
Please help me spread the word. Looking forward, folks!

I opt in. Keep me posted.
damn yankees...........................lolol
Sounds good.
I'm away on the 12th and 19th. A "midtown" location is best for me.
Thanks for organizing this. I hope I can join you.
I'll try to attend. Sounds fun.
Love the logo!
Please put me on your list. Thanks!
How fabulous, Silly. Put me down...I do love a party!
Please include me on your list, Silly. It's a bit of a haul into the city, but I do get in periodically and would try to bend things to make it.

Hi. I'm still here and still complaining!
Count me in.
I'm in.
ping
Will try to comply.
I'm still here. December 13th works because I'll be in Manhattan on other business anyway. How about Tir Na Nog on 8th Avenue and 33rd right next to the CNN building? (can't get much more symbolic than that)or one of the several Connelly's Pubs in the Mid-Town area.
I would love to be a part of that. Love to discuss politics with the like-minded. Hope its mid-town or downtown. Would be easy for me to get back to Staten Island.
Opt in
Opt me in.
But I may not be able to make either event. Finals.
whatever happened to the freeper "nyc gop chick"?
Thanks for resurrecting the MFHH! I had so much fun at those two earlier gatherings.
