May DM Meetup: Tuesday, May 10 @7pm

No one showed for April, let's try one last time before we kill this concept.

Hey Pratt friends,

Hope all is well with everyone! I'm taking over for Michele this month in coordinating our monthly DM Meetup.

Out next gathering is Tuesday May 10, 7pm.

Three Monkeys
236 W 54th St
(between Broadway & 8th Ave)

Please let me know if you can make it! (and fwd to others)

Thanks
Kari

Next DM Meetup: Tuesday, April 5 @ Three Monkeys Bar

By an overwhelming majority of votes, the next DM Meetup will be Tuesday, April 5th. (I'm hilarious, 75% of the 4 votes were for the 5th, and I know for a fact the voter for the 12th was doing it just to have some "competition". Hooray for voting!)

If anyone has the current 2nd years' email addresses, please forward them this post and let them know they are invited. The first years are invited, too, but I imagine they might not be ready for some of us alumni :)

A slightly non-cool area but the Happy Hour drink specials sound good and the place doesn't sound like it'll be raucous. They also serve dinner, which if you're hungry, should be a good thing.

PS I won't be in the city in April so make sure you let Kari know if you have any questions. She'll be picking the place and date for May, too.

March at The Breslin, no shows. Let's try for April @ Three Monkeys

No one was able to go this month, so let's try this again. I'll pick a new spot, maybe that'll help.

Please vote, to your right on this blog, for which date in April.

Next DM Meetup, Tuesday, March 8th 7-9pm

We're going to try the Breslin Bar again. If anyone can get there a wee bit early to try to snag a table, I was told there are tables "upstairs" and that would make meeting at the Breslin a nice time.

If that doesn't work out, and it's too crowded again, we can meet up in the Ace Hotel lobby.

(If you haven't been to the Ace Hotel yet, or tried Stumptown Coffee, my god DO get the coffee. Frickin' wonderful coffee experience. So smooth, tasty, and balanced.)

Tuesday, March 8th
7-9pm
Breslin Bar
28th St at Broadway, inside Ace Hotel

February meetup at Breslin was good

A low turnout didn't keep the night from being a good time at the Breslin. Our intrepid alums recommended that whoever arrives early, next time, should try to grab a table upstairs since The Breslin Bar is noisy and crowded. They ended up in the Ace Hotel lobby, which isn't a bad place to hang out since it's chic/urban/hipster/man/western style is appealing and the lower-lighting is more conducive to  swapping stories.

Anyway, the night was represented by these companies:

www.domestic-aesthetic.com
www.moma.org

See you all next month on Tuesday, March 8th!

(Sorry you don't get to vote if you want to have it on Tuesday, March 1st. I'll be away and I am NOT missing yet another one of these, since they're fun!)

February 8, next DM Meetup

Thanks for those of you who voted. All 6 of us, and an overwhelming majority picked next Tuesday.

See you next Tuesday, February 8th @ 7-9pm at the Breslin Bar

Breslin is participating in Restaurant Week and so may be busier than usual next week. No worries, show up anyway. I hear the cocktails are really great!

Next DM Meetup, Tuesday, Feb 1 or 8?

Apologies for not having sent this out earlier, I've been ill much of the last two months and last week was pretty rough.

Since I know a number of you are out of the country or not well, let's vote on when our next Meetup is:
Tuesday, February 1st (in 2 days)
or
Tuesday, February 8th (next week)

As before it'll be at the Breslin Bar from 7-9pm.

Please vote!
