Pre-Show Meetup: TERMINAL 5 Run: McGee's Pub

[Penny Lane]

Thought I'd start an official thread for this:

Just talked to the Manager again, he said he'd open up early for us at whatever time we needed and provide us w/a bartender starting at 4. (If people think it should be earlier, let me know). I think this will give us more than a couple hours before heading over, especially the first few nights.

[size=16]McGee's Pub [/size]
(The "How I Met Your Mother" bar)
(212) 957-3536
240 W 55th St (Between Broadway and 8th Avenue)
4pm----till lineup time for most of us..
They have great happy hour specials and cheap bar food, unfortunately their website is down, but it was originally posted in the T5 thread so hopefully some of you got to see it.
No Guestlist, this is just a bar meetup, most of these are weeknights so it won't be packed at 4pm..
This is also within a 10 min walk to Terminal 5 (so you can time your drinking time just right, basically 3 blocks west and 1 block north)..

**this is for the nights of the Terminal 5 show run
**for Wed if you're going to Carl's show and wanna meet up, my suggestion was McSorley's around 7/7:30 (see Joe's Pub thread)

Here are some review sites just in case (their official site is down):

EDITED: website is working:

[size=12]Hope you can all make it at least some of the days; I'll be there before every show cuz there is nowhere else I'd rather be than hanging out with my Jacket family this sacred week...[/size]

Sweet. I'll probably be down there. There's no guestlist or RSVP thing is there? People are just heading down there before the shows?

I am definitely down for McGee's pub each night of the T5 shows.  I'm not sure what time I'll be there, and not sure what time I'll be leaving, but I will definitely be there and enjoying some tasty suds.
I'll most likely get there earlyish and leave earlyish (so I get a selection of the choicest spots at the venue)

Thanks again for putting all of this together.

Ok people, the Gods are with me for this Rocktober. Not only have some of my classes been inexplicably canceled to facilitate my honeymoon, some of my classes have been inexplicably canceled to facilitate the T5 run.

As such, for those of you picking up the shirts, I will do my best to get to the bar before the shows to wheel and deal in my succulent wares. This way I'm not carrying shit around the venue, and whoever is MIA I can just leave their stuff in my car wherever it may be parked (hopefully nearby)

[kydiddle]

I'm inviting Barney Stinson. Penny, you rock.

okay, once i looked up what exactly a lemming was, i'm flattered.
you can follow me but i'll be following the man in the brownfit and flying V, he'll lead us all to the promised land..


Chode--i bet you can store the shirts at the bar during the show and come back and get it afterwards, just a thought.

I'm down for any and all of this. Thursday night I'm going to the living room to see Strand of Oaks play a cmj showcase. I have a good source (a real good source) that The National are playing under a fake name at said showcase as well.

Post it still moves show, of course.

Sweet bro! Glad you'll be there just like the Philly pre-show party. We definitely need to toast a frosty one in NYC [smiley=beer.gif]
