Oh dear (Hockey)

[scribblinlenore]

So...I seem to have fallen hopelessly under the spell of Sid and Geno. Does anyone want to discuss their awesomeness with me? (Because I probably shouldn't keep e-mailing pun every few seconds.) I mean...if there is anyone still on DW/LJ, that is. :)

I'm going to see the Penguins play the Bruins on Friday! I'm hoping to spot Sid sitting somewhere up in the press box level, since my seats are practically at the top anyhow.

[scribblinlenore]

Yay! That's awesome. Hope you see him!

[fanofall]

That is awesome! Have fun/enjoy the game!

[fanofall]

OMG SO AWESOME.

I have to admit it. I have a problem. I have ALL the Sid/Geno Feels, and I luff them.

[elbomac]

Yay! I fell head-first into Sid/Geno back in November and haven't looked back. BEST.

Not really related to the content of your post (well, actually, maybe)—but I'm here via garryowen, who suggested I swing by and say hi when s/he heard I live in NYC and like hockey. I hear those two things are also true of you?

[scribblinlenore]

Hi, hi,! So sorry. I just found this comment. And yes! Those things are both true of me as well. I actually have just gotten into hockey. It's my first season as a fan. I'm really enjoying having a new sport to follow! If you're up for it, we should get together sometime and talk hockey and other fannish interests.

[riverlight]

No worries! Somehow I find it hard to keep up with the internet at the best of times. :) I'd love to get together. Coffee, perhaps? Or—if you're into Marvel fandoms and haven't seen Iron Man 3—we could do that. Let me know! Where are you located? I'm in Clinton Hill in Brooklyn.

[scribblinlenore]

I'm in Park Slope and would love to get together in Brooklyn. I'm away on vacation until this coming Tuesday. I work as a freelancer, so my schedule during the week is flexible and of course weekends are always good. I'd be up for coffee or a movie or whatever. Look forward to meeting you!

[riverlight]

Oh, we're not far apart at all, then! Nice. :) However, I'm headed to my parents' place in CT on Tuesday for a couple of days, so maybe next weekend or the following week we could get together? Say, the 2nd or 3rd or thereafter? If you're interested in Star Trek into Darkness or the Fast & the Furious, I'd be up for seeing those; or we could do coffee. Let me know!

[scribblinlenore]

Ugh, so sorry I dropped the ball on this. Do you have any interest in watching a Stanley Cup game together? I often go to this sports bar where they're good about putting on whatever you want to watch:

Or I'm happy to watch elsewhere if you have a place you like. Or I'm always up for a movie. Let me know...

[riverlight]

No worries! Life gets crazy, I know. I'd love to see a Stanley Cup game, and actually that bar sounds like fun; I'm trying to find places that'll be good about putting on what folks want to watch, because my sister and I would love to watch cricket sometime but never know where to go to do that. So: that'd work!

I have a volunteer orientation at the Red Cross on Wednesday afternoon from 1-5:30, on the UWS... I could meet afterwards, though, say 6:30 or 7, if you wanted?

Awesome!

[scribblinlenore]

Great! I have a meeting with a client that afternoon, so you want to say 7? And 200 Fifth really is a good a sports bar. If they get a channel that has cricket, they will definitely put it on for you.

[riverlight]

Awesome! I'll see you then. I'll send you a PM message now with what I look like and my real name. :)

Wait!

[riverlight]

Damn it! After all that, I just realized I am not free on Wednesday after all—a friend just emailed and reminded me we are going to a show that night at 8. I didn't have it on my calendar. Sorry! :( Any chance you're free Thursday or Friday, instead?

Re: Wait!

[scribblinlenore]

Unfortunately I have plans on Thursday and Friday and for most of the weekend--my birthday is the 20th. I suspect the Stanley Cup final is going to go at least 6 games. Would you be free to watch on Monday?

Re: Wait!

[riverlight]

Happy birthday!

Alas, looking at my calendar, I have things every evening for the next week or so—I don't have a free evening until next Thursday (!) mostly thanks to a twice-a-week class that starts next Monday. We could try for next week, if you are able?

Alternately I could do Monday afternoon, though the games probably aren't showing then. Thoughts?

[scribblinlenore]

Oh, and I also meant to say that this Wednesday is good for me. Let me know what you think.
