Post by: TwilightOdyssey on December 04, 2007, 02:55:27 PM
Well, last night we had another successful BK drink up!

London chapter member, gwEm met up with myself and PhilKing for dinner, a couple of pints, and a guitar talk at the Central bar in NYC (Pictures to be posted by gwEm later)


The current BK drink up score is:

USA - INFINITY

UK - ZERO!!

WRONG!

The more far-flung the members, the more cred the gathering gets!!

now i'm confused... your allowed a brit at the NYC gathering but by the same rules we couldnt count ours if a new yorker (or gwem) came


thats a damn shame because i was going to suggest a drink in london during the London guitar Show (or whatever its called this year)...  but i reckon a few of your NYC members might be around at that point


is this another one of those bloody games i am destined to loose as the rules keep changing around me.... im just going to have to repeatedly  get drunk myself, then maybe it will all come clear!!!

Well, lemme bring you up to speed on some history here:

There's a friendly rivalry between the NY chapter and some of you UK forum bros due to the fact that you are totally pathetic and can't seem to get a drink up planned without US intervention. (Sounds familiar! LOL)

Check this thread to see how much of a debacle the last attempt was:

yeah, i kind of remember that - think it was when i was just starting to peruse these forums.

still think some of us should get together at LGS time if anyones going... not in a competitive way or anything , we have obviously lost that battle already - especially since a drink at LGS with NYC members would obviously not count towards the tally anyway.  I just like booze!!!

If'n I make it over next year (not looking likely, however) a link up has to be in the cards!

There were 2 in towners and 1 out of towner last night.

The closest there has been to a London meet was at Feline before LGS, where there were 4 of us there, but tea was the drink of the day.  The other was organized by the NY (and NJ) chapter, at LGS when we all went to the pub on Saturday evening, there were 5 of us there (Jonathan, Afghan Dave, Davey, TO & myself).  The year before we had Johnny Mac, Jay Palmer, TO & me.  Then Brow, Davey, TO and me went on a brewery tour of Yorkshire.  

Have you spotted any similarity in these (a clue - who is at all of them?).

I'd be up for it but I have the best of excuses: I am gigging every weekend through to March so far ( cos I am in two bands) and many of those weekends have two gigs-plus I have to help Mrs 38th in her shop on Saturdays.  I could, I suppose, have my own BKP drink up at home and drink enough for three-will that qualify?

If anyone here is near Leicester and young enough to pass as a student, go to The Quay near De Montfort on Tuesdays, vodka and red bull for £1 :D

I'm about in London town until the 21st but then off to Danmark to look after a dog.  Anyone up for something?  Just so we can score a point against the bragging NYCers?

i want real-time conversations about guitars and other allsorted cr@p over a beer... i'm sensing lameness already in this thread ;)

all i had to do to show my interest in an nyc meet was email TO that i was playing a show in town and maybe him and phil want to meet for a drink. ben did the organisational honours and we met for several jars on the only night available. nothing could have been easier!

BKP London Xmas drink is a great idea: Lets not lame out this time, I dont want to wait for LGS ;)

edit (to fix days):
i'm playing one or two shows in tokyo 12th->19th december. except for these dates i can meet for a drink. i can accomodate one 'out of towner' at my place (twinfan?) to make this happen.

edit:
my promise: if theres two BKP people meeting in a pub within 1 hour travel of london, i will make it 3 if i'm in the country.

 :lol:

exactly what am i a turn coat against? there is no london bkp chapter - without the nyc guys as a catalyst - we are nothing!

since i join the bkp forum i went to new york city twice... and by coincidence i met TO and Phil twice as well. funny - eh?

(humourously agressive mood tonight ;) )

waiting for my ("the way we met was so homoerotic") drummer to send it over. i've mentioned it to him already today ;) i'm sure he'll come up with the goods.

after all its not a real BKP meeting unless theres a pic with people flicking devils horns...

heres a picture of the show anyway:
