Filmwasters coffee anyone? Suitable location suggestions too - Midtown perhaps? Sunday, July 11? Anyone in town? Skj.

I hate you.

Nobody ever "happens" to come up north even though we have the best Smoked Meat and Bagels in the world...

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #3 on:** July 01, 2010, 03:45:18 PM »

We've had this conversation before, but I can vouch for the quality of Montreal bagels!

No one comes to the desert either............

moominsean · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:52:57 PM »

only about 2,500 miles away!

Roger Thoms · « **Reply #6 on:** July 01, 2010, 07:06:52 PM »

I can't meet for coffee since I'm on the west coast. But if you find your self in San Francisco let me know cause I know a few good places for coffee.

Becks, I'll be in the desert next trip and you are number one on my list of people to bother!

Andrea. · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2010, 07:41:07 PM »

.. and if they come to Scotland, they don't come to the Isle of Lewis. :-(

Despite we have the best black-pudding in the world - or so I'm told cause I don't eat the stuff.

Nigel · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2010, 08:54:51 PM »

I have real hankering to go to New York at the moment! I've never been. I'd love to spend a week or so and do some street photography. It's one of my 'before I'm too old' things.

(have to make do with Portland later this year.) We are changing in Vancover if that helps, Francois!

Sorry... I can't afford the 1200$ plane ticket (flying in Canada is ridiculously expensive)

mart · « **Reply #11 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:50:43 AM »

It's the water; ergo, bagels are Brooklyn. It's as simple as that.

Skorj · « **Reply #12 on:** July 02, 2010, 10:41:06 AM »

West Coast or The Great White North. Got it! I have to plan a better trip next time then! Thanks! Skj.

This-is-damion · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2010, 11:22:44 AM »

Skorji, hang around in NY until April/May 2011....then ill happily meet you!

Should be doing a Vegas (Mates wedding), Cali, NYC trip ....very open to suggestions as well.

Skorj · « **Reply #14 on:** July 03, 2010, 12:09:42 PM »

Perhaps a West Coast fw jaunt is needed then?

Francois · « **Reply #15 on:** July 03, 2010, 03:25:05 PM »

If you make it to Chicago, then you could go on that classic Route 66 road trip... for the first few miles, you could blast Depeche Mode's Route66/Behind the wheel remix

(I feel Damion is probably a very big Depeche Mode fan

)

Terry · « **Reply #16 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:31:49 PM »

I could make it--suggest Caffe Reggio on Macdougal Street (in the Village) in preference to Midtown though.

wpink · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:47:40 AM »

I too could make it. Not sure of a Mid-town spot, but for great coffee I'd recommend Gimmee, (http://www.gimmecoffee.com/) They have a location in Nolita at 228 Mott st. btwn Prince and Spring. Could also check out the Impossible Project's space in Soho.

Nigel · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:56:06 AM »

I'm sorry but we need to stop this thread - I'm getting really jealous!

hookstrapped · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:16:14 PM »

I'll be in town, arriving around Penn Station around 12 noon. I'm meeting my model for a shoot, but I'd love to squeeze in a coffee or smoothie as the case may be.

Terry · « **Reply #20 on:** July 06, 2010, 10:16:00 PM »

It probably makes sense to find a place near Penn Station then...but please not Starbucks! Anyone know a good coffeehouse in Chelsea?

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #21 on:** July 06, 2010, 10:37:16 PM »

Terry....3 posts into your Filmwasters tenure and you're already ragging on Starbucks!! I like the cut of your jib, good sir. Spoken like a true gent.

If by coffeehouse you mean a place that has beer and the World Cup final on, there's Half King at 505 W. 23rd, near 10th Ave.

Is it too late to join in to meet up with Mr. Skorj in NYC?

original_ann · « **Reply #24 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:23:29 AM »

Oooo! A visit to NYC is incomplete w/o a stopover in Caffe Reggio. Wish I could be in town that week!

gregor · « **Reply #25 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:23:53 PM »

If you're there on the 14th, stop by the Lincoln Center for Emir Kustirica's No Smoking Orchestra show. I'm seriously considering flying in for a day just for that!

And if a west coast tour is in the works and Seattle is in the plan, we'd be happy to visit & give you lodgings :-)

Nigel · « **Reply #26 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:48:32 PM »

Dang - just not cheap enough!

Skorj · « **Reply #27 on:** July 08, 2010, 04:08:52 AM »

OK! With two votes, does Caffe Reggio (at 119 MacDougal Street) sound viable then? Assume a table for four or more would be available, and not too many Lomo-toting Hipsters about (if so, we can give 'em a smack for our Ed)... 14:30 to give a few enough time to make it from various places?

Who's in? If so, I will see you there! Skj.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #28 on:** July 08, 2010, 07:06:48 AM »

Hipsters? New York? I think you may spend all your time smacking and not enough time drinking coffee and talking if you take that approach, Skj. Although the sentiment is much appreciated.

By then I should be shooting Winter in Queens, but if we get started slow and aren't yet out of Manhattan, we'll try to drop on by.

I can be there earlier if needed! Not wanting to compromise a shoot of course. I am after all on vacation... Skj.

Terry · « **Reply #31 on:** July 09, 2010, 03:28:00 PM »

14:30 works fine for me--just time enough to furl my jib. I won't bring a Lomo but I will bring my nice 'new' Pentacon 6 that Diane sold me....

We're cool. Shoot got pushed to a 4:00 start so I can meet you all 2:30-3:30ish. Reggio, right?

Terry · « **Reply #33 on:** July 10, 2010, 04:48:36 PM »

So how will we recognize each other? Red carnation in the lapel?

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #34 on:** July 10, 2010, 06:04:04 PM »

It goes without saying, but we expect to see a few snaps of the gathering and a report on the quality of Reggio's coffee over and above Starbucks'. Have a great time everyone.

So close, but not close enough. How about coming up to Boston? We have coffee, too.

Skorj · « **Reply #37 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:15:52 AM »

Thanks all to those that made it out in today's heat. Great to meet some new faces, and talk about nothing much more serious than how to waste film and stuff like that... Thanks! Skj.

Terry · « **Reply #38 on:** July 12, 2010, 12:18:46 PM »

That was a bit of fun. Nice to meet another Balda fan...

hookstrapped · « **Reply #39 on:** July 13, 2010, 01:40:07 AM »

It was cool.

wpink · « **Reply #40 on:** July 13, 2010, 02:54:06 AM »

It was great to meet. I was so energized, I easily kept awake the the 4 hour drive home and developed two rolls of 127 when I got there. ...or was that the coffee? Thanks .
