NYC Meetup: I'm coming to town to see my old (and new) mefite friends. Let's get together on Friday the 13th (of July), 7pm at d.b.a.
Darn my not being allowed into a bar, hehe. Have a great time!

Given that I get out of work around 5, and my girl doesn't usually get home til 7pm, I can make it if I set a new land-speed record.
I'll be there in spirit!

I commend the venue choice, since it's only a few blocks from me. I'll be there.

I will be there, since no one has leaped forward to sponsor my attendance at the Portland meetup, despite my relentless PR campaign and shameless self-promotion.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Also: Hey Zephyrial! You should try to come anyway because that early in the evening, most bars aren't carding at the door, only inside at the bar itself. So you will probably be able to get in just fine and then drink soda or mooch drinks off us more seasoned types.

Afroblanco: You're heading out to Portland for the meetup? That's hardcore. Have fun! I predict I'll see you at future NYC meetups anyway.

I love DBA but I never understand why their bathroom is disgusting while the rest of the place is pretty nice :(
At least they have lots of beer. Wonder how many I can try out during a single meetup...then again, have enough and I'll need to use the disgusting bathroom :( :(

That's like asking why the bathroom at CB's had to be so nasty. Jeez, if you want pretty, fragrant, civilized bathrooms, stick to midtown.
Man, this makes me wish I still lived in NYC—I miss both d.b.a. and you crazy New York MeFites. Somebody have a single-malt for me...

In an odd confluence with the meta post right before this one, I feel too fat to be seen in public lately. Makes it hard to go to meetups.

Just so you folks know, my band will be playing at the Pussycat Lounge in Manhattan this Tuesday, 7/3. Show starts at 8. It can be a mini-meetup!

TPS, if I remember correctly, dba's toilets aren't unisex---the womens' aren't the greatest, but usable.

Actually, the nicest bathroom I've ever been in (flowers, candlelight, incense) was on Avenue C, no joke.
However, I just don't get why there can't be a happy medium between "no latch on the door, and shit on the walls" and "flowers and candles". I mean, dba isn't what I'd consider a dive bar, so why does it have a dive bar men's room?
Heck, all I really want is the ability to lock the door so nobody opens it when I'm in there. Is that so much to ask?

I think maybe I can make it.
Also, the ladies' room there isn't so gross. I've seen much worse. In midtown.
