Hell yes, hot steamy farker action..

Crap, and I already promised myself not to go outside today. I guess we'll see...

Still 8 p.m. right?

Sounds like a decent turnout. CaptainJose has us down for 30 people based on the survey from the previous thread. Hope no one goes soft because of a little cold weather. After all, half their staff is in their seventies or eighties and they'll make it into work. The least we can do is make it worth their while.

As a former Minnesotan, I would really like to be there, and especially at Nye's. Have fun.

I'm trying to decide if I should bus or drive. If I bus, I'll have to wait 15 minutes outside in the cold. If I drive, I can't drink as much...decisions, decisions...are people actually going to show up at 8?

Wow, that was an easy green. Yay me.

I will be there. I may not drink much, and I might not close the place down, but I'll be there.

I'm struggling with the same decision. I think I'm going to bus. just in case I decide to drink. I'm planning on being there between 8 & 8:30.

I'm thinking about driving up, but I have to take care of a few things first.

If there is one thing I hate it's a numb bone.

/But a numb bone is still a bone. Which is nice.

wowzer97pooh: If there is one thing I hate it's a numb bone.

How embarrassing. You must knock over a lot of end tables.

Nye's is one of the most surreal places I have ever been. It's like being in the movie Fargo, only with more polka and a few more hipsters.

While you guys are there, you can discuss whether DistendedPendulusFrenulum should move to Minneapolis.

/Is Nye's anything like The Odessa?

.

I plan on being there around 9ish, according to the bus situation. Does anyone live in south minneapolis and maybe want to split a cab or something?

Have fun leaving the house. Isn't it about -8F or so up there today?

I know here in Chicago it is about 2F out. I just got back from the grocery store (which is a 1/2 mile walk from my apartment) and my toes are just now going from numb to 'damn that hurts' and I've been indoors for 1/2 an hour.

Yeah, the wind chill is -30 or so, but all you need for a party evening a hood, a badass jacket, and a 2nd layer of pants... maybe wool socks too.
My only true deterrent is the SO. They really, really don't want to go. But they don't want me to have to wait for the bus in this weather.

Help me convince the hermit to get us there!
/or at least drop me off and come get me when I call ;)

It is cold in the twin cities today. I made the dumb decision to hit Mystic Lake last night. Almost -10 on the ride home.

Some certainly will, but I'd guess the bulk should be getting there around 9. I won't be there until around 10, but that's because !@#$ work called me in to work a few hours tonight.

ravenlore: Wow, that was an easy green. Yay me.

I submitted this about two minutes after you did. My fail, let me show you it.

Nye's Polonaise Fark party?

uhhh, quick question...how will I know where the farkers are?

Why is it that I live in an area where there are never any Fark parties?

/No, I will not set one up in the near future.
//I'm currently too lazy, and will soon be too busy with the start of my spring semester with two graduate level mathematics/statistics/useful application for statistic classes and studying so I can redo my oral exam to get my farking master degree.

man, I'd like to go. But with a two week old baby at home. I'm not sure the Mrs. will give me a pass

marklar: uhhh, quick question...how will I know where the farkers are?

We are in the reservation book under Fark party, I believe, so staff should be able to point you in the right direction. Also, CaptainJose said he'd be bringing name tags and perhaps a small sign. I wish he'd pop into this thread, though.

47 is the new 42: Why is it that I live in an area where there are never any Fark parties?

A master's degree in farking.

And it's peer-reviewed.

I'd love to go and meet some of you guys. I don't think the misses will oblige.

I'll be there and I'm bringing a few extras from the Rochester crowd. For additional insanity, I've also invited a few people from a car club I belong to although it's debatable how many people from there will actually come. Rochester crew leaving in a few!

Hmm... Clearly I haven't been checking the party threads often enough. I'll try to be there around 10-ish.

I am a little nervous, as I've never gone to a bar without knowing people. Farkers are nice, right?

b2theory: I'd love to go and meet some of you guys. I don't think the misses will oblige.

You have my empathy.

/working on it here. It isn't looking good, but there's still a few hours for hinting and, later, bargaining.
//and where the hell is CaptainJose?!

Nye's is still there? Jeez! I moved to Mpls. in 1971 and, freezing my you know what off, got out of there in 1979. Glad to see some things never change--Nye's, I mean.

see you farkers in Nordeast!

unkotabete: Nye's is still there? Jeez! I moved to Mpls. in 1971 and, freezing my you know what off, got out of there in 1979. Glad to see some things never change--Nye's, I mean.

Same waitresses, too, I'm betting. And you can still shop at Kramarchuk's across the street.

gilgamesh23 That is what they said last time, and I couldn't find them when I showed up.

Also, I am going to be there around nine, and am coming with at least two friends.

8bit4life: I am a little nervous, as I've never gone to a bar without knowing people. Farkers are nice, right?

It'll be my first Fark party as well but I hear good things.

8bit4life: I am a little nervous, as I've never gone to a bar without knowing people. Farkers are nice, right?

Well, we're the type of people who correct other people's grammar, like to discuss the finer points of obscure cult movies, and spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet. If we weren't at least nice, we wouldn't get too far in life.

marklar: That is what they said last time, and I couldn't find them when I showed up.

I had the same problem last time at Brit's. But Nye's is a more open place, plus we have the reservation with the name of the group... anyway, if all else fails, Nye's is cool on a Saturday night. I'd go there anyways.

thestr1ker: Nye's Polonaise Fark party?

I might show up, if I don't freeze to death waiting at the bus stop.

Well, I just heard about this about an hour ago, but I do believe I'll be making the trek up there.

*puts on boots and 5 layers of clothing*

I'm living in the future :/

I won't be ab;e to make this one, but be sure to hoist one for me and for ODDO.

marklar: I plan on being there around 9ish, according to the bus situation. Does anyone live in south minneapolis and maybe want to split a cab or something?

I live in Uptown, does that help?

I'm gonna drive it. I'm only like a mile away, but I don't wanna walk in this weather.
Gonna be a light drinking nigh for me.
If anyone from like Hennepin and Lake and points north to Nyes needs a ride, EIP. If I have to pay for parking, I expect you to pay half though (and I hate street parking, so if there's a parkinbg garage I use it).
Probably arrive sometime after 8 but before 9.

son of a biatch...I'd love to be there, but I am currently in Tower for my annual poker weekend with my buds.

Yeah, it's a little nippy up here...

Have fun...I'll make the next one.

i'm already pretty numb. from drinking.

see ya'll there!

ravenlore sorry, but I changed plans and got a friend to come, and he is driving my sorry ass.

Wow, that is some cold shiat up there. I am always amazed at y'all for being able to handle it. I will toast in your general direction, Minnesota Farkers. Have a good one.

/Is there ever going to be another Austin party??
//Just curious.

i waited for 30 minutes for a bus last night. it kind of sucked.

hopefully the bus i take to nye's won't be late.

I say we take some of those big dollars in the transpo. budget and outfit every bus with a GPS unit linked to the 'nets and you can lurk in front of your computer until the bus is just down the street and make a mad dash for it. That would be a smart use of Federal tax dollars along with lubricants.

All I can say is bundle up kids!! Especially warren, if you're waiting for a bus ;) I hope that it won't be late for you again.

There is very little worse than standing on the corner waiting for the bus when it is -10F outside.

Sadly, I'm speaking from personal experience.

Ok, a little bit of a threadjack, but, did everyone involved in the spanking thread (yesterday) was banned?.

/I know I was
//I was there, man!
