#CT2: #COOLTEENS GO TO COLLEGE AUG 17-19 #YOLO

[ueckerist]

I think I'm gonna be in Philly the following weekend, hoping some people might still want to hang then...?

[ueckerist]

there is currently an exhibit on Gaugin, Cezanne and Matisse at the PMA, I haven't gone yet, but i plan to.

I'm out of the loop on where the cool galleries are. Old City frequently sucks, but there are so many galleries near each other that you can hit a lot of places per block and maybe find something you like. 2nd and Archish is where they all are.

PM me if you ever feel like stopping by the barnes

[jewels]

i'll definitely do that.

how are you feeling about the new building? what has the response been like?

[ueckerist]

i really like it

almost all of the write-ups have been positive, and the visitors all seem to have good things to say

sometimes the old people that come in to see the renoirs will get pissy about the lack of signage though

[gigantic pedantic]

i really want to see this.

[The Dirty Turtle]

[Dear You]

[Gehrig Industries]

The first post has been updated please let me know if your name should be added to any of the lists

[important dentist]

i will be there and need a place to stay

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:

Friday:
DINNER & DRINKS IN OLD CITY
We'll eat & have some drinks at Khyber Pass Pub http://www.khyberpasspub.com/
From there we can roam to any of the surrounding bars: Revolution House (http://www.revolutionhouse.com/), Triumph (http://www.triumphbrewing.com/philadelphia/), Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant (http://www.philadelphiabarandrestaurant.com/), Morgan's Pier (http://www.morganspier.com/), Irish Pol (http://theirishpol.com/), National Mechanics (http://www.nationalmechanics.com/), Bierstube (http://mybierstube.com/), Buffalo Billiards (http://www.buffalobilliards.com/philadelphia/), Q BBQ & Tequila (http://www.qoldcity.com/).

Also within walking distance (~10 minutes): Dark Horse Pub (http://www.darkhorsepub.com/), Tattooed Mom's (no website), and Twisted Tail (http://www.thetwistedtail.com/). There are others but I haven't been to them so I can't say if they'll fit a large group.

Saturday:
BRUNCH
We have three choices:
Farmicia (http://farmiciarestaurant.com/)
Jones (http://www.jones-restaurant.com/)
Honey's (http://honeyssitneat.com/)

PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY AUGUST 10TH IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO COME TO SATURDAY BRUNCH SO I CAN MAKE RESERVATIONS.

ZOO
Meet at 5th and Market to board the 38 bus which will take us to the zoo. Zoo tickets are $18/head. Bus fare is $2.00 in cash or one token ($1.55/token) each way.
LUNCH WILL BE EATEN AT THE ZOO. BRING MONAY. After the zoo we'll hop back on the 38 bus and head to Center City.

DINNER & DRINKS IN CENTER CITY

Dinner options: please let me know your preferences! Obviously y'all can eat anywhere you want but if we all end up in the same place for dinner (or if we end up breaking into two or three groups) I'd like to give the restaurants a heads up so they can accommodate.

The Corner (http://thephillycorner.com/)
Good Dog (http://gooddogbar.com/)
Jose Pistola's (http://www.josepistolas.com/)
Nodding Head (http://www.ripsneakers.com/nodding/)
Perch Pub (http://www.perchpub.com/)

After we eat we can bar hop to any of the above bars (and keep in mind there are countless bars in Center City so we'll have plenty of options even if nothing on the above list sounds appealing)

Sunday:
BRUNCH

If anyone has any brunch places or neighborhoods in mind for Sunday, please let me know!

Also, obviously we can squeeze more in on Saturday than brunch, zoo, dinner, and drinks -- let me know if you want something added to the itinerary!

(I'll be updating this post as I think of more things to add)

[tricky]

I am so excited

[mites]

I would like to add everyone kissing my butt to saturday's itinerary

[mudd]

within two consonants.

i don't yet know if i will be in town, but if so i would probably tolerate company at the philadelphia museum of art.

[Merciel]

WE WILL COME TO EVERYTHING

I'll vote for Jones for Saturday brunch because I am guessing, perhaps erroneously, that it'll be easiest to accommodate a group there.

[bread]

Cool, one vote for Jones. It's in the lead!

Also I just realized that after the zoo we'll very possibly be hot and sweaty and tired so going back to home base for a bit to rest before kissing mites' butt/eating dinner might be a good idea.

[addison]

the "cool teens" thing makes me cringe

[bread]

Actually two votes for Jones because I've wanted to go for a while

[bread]

I sincerely don't give a shit addison

[addison]

I sincerely don't give a shit addison

god you're so mean to me i'm telling mem

[addison]

mom

[mites]

I vote for jones too

[MrDecember]

should i come to this?

seems like the best possible way to see philly for the first time

[apostrophe]

as long as apostrophe is going i'm like 98% sure i'll be there as well

Yeah, I'm going, and as far as I know would do all that stuff, so you can put me down for brunch. Also need a place to stay.

[tricky]

should i come to this?

[5% Tint]

MrDecember you should go as a Mizzou representative. I'll be at Lake of the Ozarks

[Savage]

someone tell me where to get a hotel room

[Savage]

im also driving if anyone from dc or baltimore wants a ride but id have to leave from northern virginia at 8:30 on friday so wed get there late as shit friday night

[Dear You]

I guess with appendix 3 add melba toast/i to needing list.

Everything in that outline from bread sounds pretty good. We just got our internet back after being without it for a week so trying to catch up on planning everything for this/buying tickets/blah blah blah.

[MrDecember]

[skittish]
