I recommend a High Score Party at the Fleur De Lys.
I will toast the new era from an airplane seat.
We do? Was the last era so raunchy? I'm up for a bit of class- haven't we done enough drinking in parks?
Sure you've done drinking in parks, but usually surrounded by beautiful art. And you've also gone way out of your way to be fancy dancy. But it's always nice to dress up and pretend you gots class.
that's awesome. how DO you find this shit, marscablue?
That's the same day as the no-pants BART ride.
@ Anna… Who said any thing about parks… and we do what?
@ Zemaluco… You know sometimes I feel these things actually find me.
@ Sixacross… I like the cut of your jib.
@ Lincoln… What's a jib?

3-course menu $68, 4-course $76, 5-course $88, vegetarian tasting menu $68, vegan option available with advance notice
There have been plenty of events that have called for fancy attire and none of them called for breaking the bank. I've got too many bills to pay this month. No one said anything about drinking in the park (although it's been months), I was merely suggesting something w/in our price range....I've got too many travel plans and am trying to buy a apartment in the next year or two, I can't be wasting money right now.
Hey now, we may not be able to have a fancy-shmancy 5-course meal, but whatever happens, I'm bringing the Haitian moonshine!
Whoa there tiger-Eddy,
I was just saying that I liked the Fleur De Lys idea.
As far as I know, I am as broke if not a whole lot more broke than you.
I do not agree that Glasnost was an era that ought to be commemorated by... whatever it was you called it- as I see you've deleted your comment. I recall your comment suggesting we celebrate in a dive-bar, and the crasser the better, but your exact words are lost to me.
Maybe we don't need to go out spending $75 per person, but I bet dollars to dimes that any given night of the week any one of us park-drinkers would be able and willing to spend $75 on drinks at your crass dive-bar. It's not about the money, sweetheart.
No, I'm broker than any of y'all....
Brokeback Mountain? Written after the writer, sitting next to me in a bar, saw the state of my wallet.
The entire Baroque era was begun as a fear-response to the state of my bank account (all that gilt to cover the guilt).
Thom Brokaw? Started his career reporting on the poor finincial state of young men named J. Tony Smith.
Broke, broke, broke. I win the broke! Yay!
Poo. Crud. Shucks. Aw heck. Poo. Still away cultivating a TucsonZero. Curses! Fie! Forsooth!
And its not giving me the option to rsvp that i wont be able to make it.
@Bex: I think you have to RSVP that you will make it, first, and then change your rsvp to show you won't.
Curse the lack of cheap, quick weekend travel.
I know! The damn muni bus schedule on Saturdays doesn't get there at 9pm.... 8:48 or 9:15, but no 9pm. And the damn thing costs $1.50. That's half a pint of awful american swill beer, for crying out loud!
A party that starts at 9pm and a party that starts at 12am lie in two completely different categories in my book. With a 12:00 start time I anticipate pure madness and 3d glassses.
Now I am not sure what to think.
JTony… it's called the back door… Learn it… know it… love it…
Otherwise just do what I do… hold up an expired transfer you found in the street upside down or backwords and look extremely frustrated when you get on the bus.
Well, maybe 9pm is for some relatively sober mingling, chatting, frantic-last-minute-bug-fixing and so forth, and we'll really break out the Kano and Jameson a bit later on.
(in any case: sadly, no awards ceremony type of thing. party-planning has taken a back seat to the new era)

and it's always wise to carry a extra bottle of tequila in case of emergency.
I ate at fleur de lys when i went to SF way back at the start of glasnost. I ate five courses with the wine pairing and I recall telling Sam & Ian the next day that my bill would be all the evidence they'd need to convict me when the revolution came.
Hey, that's weird. I never really made all those connections before.
Glasnost starts, I visit SF, eat Fleur de Lys, AND eventually survive a Revolution.
FdL is really solid. It's ["celebrity chef"] Hubert Keller's (no relation to the other Keller) flagship and the food is all Alsatian-inflected new standards. The staff is v. professional and the decor is lush and romantic. I had the vegetable menu and got pretty drunk. Chef Keller came thru the dining room to speak French with a party of six over their cheese course; and as he passed I praised him profusely and he was very gracious. By course five I was awesome--by which I don't just mean feeling awesome, I believe I had actually become more awesome through the meal-- and as I left the restaurant my exit took me through the small bar area where Keller was lounging. I stopped and said, "Chef, just wonderful. That ragout was like an earthquake. And the cheese course was... like...the aftershocks... Thank you!" He remained gracious. I then walked (tipsily) out and crossed the street to wait for a Muni bus to take me back to my hotel.
This is apropos of nothing except if you get to go eat there some time, be prepared to feel a little like you got some votes or nice comments or something, as it is an edible high score.
You're saying that if one of us should ever go to Fleur de Lys, maybe we should bring this along?
I think he is saying that the Fleur De Lys is a physical representation of a virtual occurrence.
Who's ready for a…
