The Unofficial Xanga Dinner Club
Like ravenous bears after the long winter months, me and my fellow Xanga employees are looking to celebrate spring by stuffing our faces. Starting this month, I’m going to organize a monthly dinner excursion in and around New York City. Why are we doing this? 1) Its a chance for us to actually eat a meal outside of the Xanga office (yes, we actually work that much) and 2) its a chance for y’all to come out and meet up with your favorite members of the Xanga team!
Each excursion will be set in a neighborhood and will include myself and several members of the Xanga Team for a moveable feast of dinner, drinks, and snacks. Next week will be set in the St. Marks neighborhood, and will likely include a stop at Pommes Frites or Crif Dogs (but not both, as it would likely kill us). Dinner will be by invitation only, as organizing reservations for more than a small group is really hard, but drinks and snacks will proceed in bar crawl style, with the whole flock of us moving en masse from location to location.
Guest List so far: Me, Michael, Janet, Dan, Chris Choi, Natalia, Ben Koh, Eugenia, Patrick, MoonBunny, TheBlackSpiderMan, squeakysoul, konrado, aimvpr

You must be over 21 to consume alcoholic beverages. You will not attempt to mooch for credits.

dude. invite me.
Oh yeah, New York. That’s just a hop, skip, and a few billion jumps away from Houston. I’ll be there every time!
But other than that, its a good idea. Have fun.
Duh, do I really need to explain why I deserve an invitation??? Haha just kidding. I’m thinking about the bar crawl but I really hate bars, though I love Pommes Frites. Bars are no fun to scream at each other to try to ask y’all silly questions!
PS No mooching for credits, can I pay my share in credits tho? ahahaha
PS Can you bring your bunny to play?
hey I’m probably gonna be able to make it for dinner too! =)
Uh, I live in CA.
NY is on the other side of the country. Lol. 
xo
can I come? ;o
Damn, I wish I was in New York, and I wish I was over 21. Have fun, be sure to tell us about it, hopefully someone will take pics of the crew.
Honey, if I was in that area, you’d have my acceptance. Unfortunately, I’m down here in Kentucky. But I’ll be thinking of y’all! Drink one for me.
Where’s dinner gunna be at? Can I come? I can be the photographer! Put me down for the meet and eat in the meantime though.
Geez. I wish I was even in the US for this.
Ugh, why New York?! :ssfrown:
Someone should organize one for L.A.!
I’m in NYC. Invite me and we’ll see if I can come. :ssgoofywink:
How cool, but it is not likely you will ever be doing this in say, Duke’s Chowderhouse in Seattle.
interesting, to bad i don’t live in NY…i’d soooo totally be their
Y’all should come to Michigan sometime. My husband and I will treat you to a backyard cookout. If you come on July 3, we can treat you to some pretty good fireworks, as well (we’re two doors down from our local fireworks field and our little village has a huge party and one of the best shows in the area).
Have fun!
I live in Malaysia. Boo.:ssbigfrown:
What’s this? Super smiley?
Angi1972 and I are coming in June to stalk…I mean visit you guys…,the last week,please save us some seats!

I totally think I can make it.
…I can has invite? :ssgrin:
Well, if you ever do the meet and eat bar crawl style out here on Long Island; I’ll come. I’m not a big fan of the city. I like it better out here on the island.
Meh, sucks to not be in the States. Otherwise I would’ve come!
@trunthepaige -
yup…that would be awesome. I’d come too, except that it’s a LOOONG drive from Wichita to Seattle…I know; I’ve made it before.
i wanna go >< i’m in nyc :ssgrin:
aw, new york! i wish i could make it. sounds like fun! :ssgrin:
Probably toooooo far for me to come for dinner…
:ssalien:
That’s cute idea. :ssgrin:
Come to Chicago
Aww, I don’t think I can go.
But I sure hope everyone that does has fun. :sssmile:
so…what’s the criteria for signing up?
Pomme Frites doesn’t serve anything a bunny would eat!
Oh, the incomforts of having a summer birthday, when one must wait until the energy of summer has already begun to dissipate before he can turn 18…
how lovely
This sounds like a neat idea, hope you enjoy yourself.
@aimvpr - anyone who wants to come for snacks and drinks can just come meet us at St. Marks. I’m just trying to keep the dinner group down to a manageable size.
@moonbunny - of course you’re in. ^_^ I’ll message you about the location once reservations are settled.
@theblackspiderman - you now haz invite.
sounds like a lot of fun….
@Ben - I’m sorry ben, this is supposed to be a family affair.
So nice to be invited. Oh well. Hope you have another meetup in NYC sometime, maybe I can come then. It’s a bit late now, as I may have plans for the evening.
@WeaponG - we’re expecting you for meet and greet!
@BlueShortyx3 - is that an rsvp? putting you down on the list.
@Amuse_Bouche - that may be the case. ^_^ You should still come though.
@joseph - Cool! Looking forward to it!
@joseph - ahh, i dunno wut u guys look like? will there b sum kinda XANGA banner? xD
or i’ll try 2 look 4 chris’ face since he’s the brain age man :ssgoofywink:
@BlueShortyx3 - the reservation is under “joseph”. That should help. ^_^ Also – Chris won’t be coming to dinner
He’s “stuck” in cali
@aimvpr - did you get the message with the location?
@joseph - joe, i’m confused… am i going to the dinner or to st. mark’s? i yam under the impression of st. mark’s since i didn’t get nething bout location of the 7 o’clock dinner.
soooo~~~ i’ll c u guys there @ taisho?
chris = butt xP
@WeaponG -
:ssgrin:LOL
so, how was it? someone blog about it!
I feel so sad that I live on the wrong coast to even attempt to get in on such fun! really you guys must take vacations don’t you? Why not put together a Xanga Team Star tour. Then YOU get a free dinner (surely someone would be so kind to as treat a visiting Xanga Team Star!) and meet worldwide Xangans just for organizing a meet up.
Fine fine I will fly across the country to have dinner with you all someday hopefully.
Do you know how to send a message to an entire Metro? Me neither. But if I could I would see if anyone in my area would like to meet up and I bet other people would do that too. Oh yeah I don’t belong to a Metro nevermind.
Can kids liek the age of 15 go? :ssgrin:
how did this dinner work out for you guys?
@elusiivelove - not too bad, I’ve been busy, but I’ll post on it when I get a chance.
I wish I was in New York, and I wish I was over 21. Have fun, be sure to tell us about it, hopefully someone will take pics of the crew.
