Merry Christmas SND!

(and happy holidays to nathaniel and claudia:)

So I think I am the only one in town this Sunday, correct? I'm going to be decompressing from the week with the parents, who leave Sunday morning.

I can't wait until New Year's - the whole gang will be together again. I'm around and not working all week, so whoever is up for drinks, let me know!

The SND Before Christmas

Who's in? Should we make another attempt at Motorino?

PRE-HOLIDAY PARTY...PARTY? (OK, DINNER)

Dear Sara, Brekke, Peter (even though you're in London then), and Nathaniel:
I have totally forgotten who's avail this Sunday, although I believe it's girls + N. Am I right?

Let's have dinner! To celebrate the end of Sara's car alarm debacle. To be together. To avoid eating an entire bag of baked lays, which recently happened to me bc i was alone and not paying attention.

I know we discussed Henry Public, but maybe that was for the following week? What do people feel like?
xxoo

My male model, the Bradley Cooper lookalike!

Just a lazy holiday SND

Come to my house. Trim tree. Eat meat from crockpot.

The Pre-Thanksgiving SND...

Hi everyone.
I just flew back from the coast (and boy are my arms tired!) Sorry, old Henny Youngman joke, couldn't resist. Tardo, that's me.

Who's here Sunday? I'd love to kick it old school and do a SND classic if we're all here. It hasn't been all of us OR just us in too long. Brek's going to Chicago but I think she's back in time.

Thoughts? Superfine is awesome and I saw that was up for consideration. I need to think but maybe there's a good new comfort food place in honor of T-day...

It's almost Sunday

Are we sans plan? Who's in? And where should we go? Anyone interested in Superfine in DUMBO? http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/superfine/

Nathaniel's Bday SND

So should we plan on 7pm at The Vanderbilt? (corner of Vanderbilt and Bergen?)

This Sundee, Nov. 1

So it's Marathon Sunday, and Game 4 of the World Series, and I think N. is out. I land at 6:45pm, so whatever the plan is, depending on my flight, I'll be coming straight to you all. So keep me posted via email, my doves!

11.8.09

Hello!!!! Want to make sure everyone is available for SND on November 8. Sadly, it's just me. No Kyle. But I really, really, really want to see everyone. I don't have a place in mind, but I'm just so thrilled that I'll be back in Brooklyn.

Have you guys been to Building on Bond yet? That became my favorite little hang-out before I left. Maybe there ....

Happier times

OK, who's in this Sunday? And something to mark in your calendars - Jackie and Kyle will be here on November 8th for Nathaniel's bday SND!!!

A somber proposal

I sort of hate to say it, but it sounds as if SND may be falling apart this month and next. I'm generally here, except this coming Sun., but it seems as if the rest of you aren't so much. Wondering if we should take some sort of hiatus? Just throwing it out there. Lemme know your thoughts.

16 Candles

There's talk of doing SND at my place on Sunday and finally watching 16 Candles. I know Claude is out and Nathaniel never reads this - so why exactly am I posting???

Summer is ending

yes it's true. Miranda and David have offered up their loads of meat for a BBQ this Sunday late afternoon/evening. I'm happy to do that - but will leave it up to group vote.

SND IS BACK!

Not only are we poised for fame with our potential NU Alumni magazine story, but we had a pretty kick-ass SND - Vegas-winnings-Bark - Emmy's night at Pete's. So my dear SNDers, I'm saying it: SND IS BACK. With a vengeance. Although sadly still without Jack & Kyle. What's this Sunday's plan? Ideas, suggestions, feelings? Many kisses, hugs and smushes.

Fall, finally

So how many months does the US Open go on for, anyway?

Sorry... for those of us unfortunate enough to not be sports fans it FEELS like a long time. Anyway, the Emmys are much more up my alley, and I'm assuming the rest of you are at least vaguely interested- do we want to plan a dinner around that?

P.S. I did watch the video of that Federer between-the-legs shot from last night. That was pretty amazing.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Just thought the blog needed a little love. See you next week...

Bok!

(Which means both "hi"and "bye" in Croatian.) Just thought I'd write a little something to break up the admirable string of posts by Peter, who has been tending the blog flame all by himself for a while now. I'm back and ready to SND, although I feel like things may not actually work out until September. In any case, I am around this Sunday if anyone else is (Brekke? Claude, are you back? Hello?) and always ready to drink/eat. Still purging the memory of all the bad food I ate while on vacation. You will all be proud to hear that I dropped my quasi-veggie affectation and totes ate ham and salami over there. It was survival, man. Survival.

Bark!

Hello SND'ers. As we have been just about dormant this month I wanted to let you know the new gourmet hot dog joint across the street from me, Bark, is going to be a favorite place for SND. The draughts are $3 and the hot dogs and fries look amazing. And it's cute and cheap - no waiters so no tip!

Anyway, I'm gone this Sunday and many of us will hopefully be at farmhouse the following Sunday...but I look forward to seeing you all in September.

Please post if you have the time - just so I know you're all out there. Miss you all!

Special guests

I don't think anyone is in town other than Nathaniel and me, but just for the record, this Sunday's SND will take place in the late afternoon around 4pm in Nathaniel's garden in honor of special guests Shanee, Neil and their 13 month old son Morris. All are welcome!

Dog days of SND

No one is here but Nathaniel and me - and maybe Brekke? Thoughts?

HS reunion

So my high school reunion is this weekend - and my plane lands at 6:55pm. So looks like I'm out unless you want to push it to 8pm and hope for everything to run smoothly. Up to you guys.

Slow days of summer

Sad that the first post of the week is Saturday, but I guess that's how it goes in summer now that almost half of SND is in LA...

Anyway, I believe Nathaniel will be at the farmhouse and not sure where Brekke is...and I should be in for tomorrow, though there is a very small chance I'll be called into duty as it's a friend's birthday tomorrow and she's separating from her husband and drama, drama, drama I said I'd be there for her if she needed me. But it's looking like she doesn't.

So - Sara (and maybe Brekke) what are your thoughts about tomorrow night? It's supposed to be lovely out.

application

So we have discussed this in passing but, in honor of Jackie who would be aghast if she knew how hard and fast we were playing with the rules, I want to formally propose W. Dominick Mach as a member of SND. Yes, I know, it's a big step for me and for all of us. But it's come to that. And he seems, imho, to fit in so well! Please refer all questions and concerns to my publicist. And no interviews with Bruno! Meanwhile, what's on for Sunday? I'd be happy to host a BBQ if it's nice, or make suggestions for *real* outdoor spots.

last minute but no less (looking for a pun...) timely.

Hi everyone,
Happy 5th of July. Sara and Nathaniel and I discussed SND possibilities late last night-- realized all five of us would actually be in attendance-- and then through out the idea of going to Bogota as a (slightly delayed) 2 year anniversary.

Also, I looked for a place that was particularly user-friendly for Peter, as he will be jetlagged and just traveled.


So. Bogota outdoor garden, 7pm. Unless someone has an objection and a suggestion.

Out of the Ballpark

You guys going to the Cyclones? Unfortunately, last weekend may have been the weekend to go:

Peter in Sunday Styles!

Hi Snd'ers. Thought this would be a good way to let you know that I will be in the Sunday Styles section this Sunday!  My friend Nicole's brother Doug is writing a story based on the whole Adam Lambert/Kris Allen gay/straight friendship. So Doug talked to me for 20 minutes and I babbled on and on about my straight male friends including David of course. Doug was intrigued by David (natch) and talked to him too. Next thing I know the Times is photographing David and me tonight at my old apartment. God only knows what they'll ask us to do.

So look for me on Sunday and pray I don't embarrass myself.

Speaking of Sunday - is anyone around????

BACK!....with a vengeance! (sort of)

Hi everyone,
I hear the weather is complete shit in NYC, but I have decided to return anyway :). I'm very excited for Sunday and hope people are around. Who's here? xoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxo

NPH SND?

This Sunday's the Tony awards, and I was suggesting to Peter that he host a dinner of sorts (it usually ends up being apps, doesn't it) so we can gather to.. well, to gather, and also to catch the adorable Neil Patrick Harris hosting, which is sort of my only reason for wanting to see the Tonys. Thoughts? Peter, are you still into this idea?

Backwards Blogging ... MND

So we had a wonderful BBQ at Nathaniel's tonight, and all remaining SND peeps were there, plus extra groovy friends all around. A fantastic time was had by all, and I think it's important that we continue to make sure we keep this blog up-to-date with all our fabulousness. Discussed this week: beach day trips for SND to make it a full day's fun. I hope we can make this happen.

Next Sunday? Any ideas? I'll be training in from Baltimore at 4pm or so, so I can make it. I'm in SB the weekend of June 5 -7, so I will not get to partake.

Also, would like to reserve the date for a SND BBQ (Saturday or Sunday), depending on a beach day plan, June 13 or 14.

Love to all. It's officially Summer 2009!

Sunday Bloody Sunday

That was sort of dramatic, huh? so who's in and where should we go? I think I missed an outing to Char No. 4 but I really want to try it if everyone's up for it. The other thoughts I had were places that only serve things like beer (beertable), wine and cheese (jake walk) and dumplings (eton).

Here's a random thought: Do Jackie and Kyle ever visit our fair blog now that they have left NYC?

Sundee in the backyard with Brekke

It may only be Peter and Claude and me, but the BBQ action will be hot. Making a special SND Vodka limeade and very excited to muddle some mint. See you guys Sunday!

First May SND!

Team SND: I want to toast "Specter the Defecter" this week, who showed me once again that it's never to late to make an important life change. I will make a suggestion for Sunday that was actually also Peter's suggestion: Zuzu Ramen (4th and Degraw). From the owners of Sheep Station, it sounds yummy and cheap and basically the holy grail of SND locales. Shall we say 7pm?

Sunday 4/26

I think it's just Sara, me and Claudie since the boys are upstate. But I hate to leave the blog un-updated, so we'll just figure out where we're going on Sunday. Love to all. Long live SND!

Verdict on this Sunday?

Are we doing dinner? I feel like it was never really resolved. I would be up for having it at 8 to accommodate Nathaniel, and also because I'm going to a movie in the city beforehand and that would make me not have to rush. But I would also be OK with counting Saturday as this week's "S," seeing as how I'm sure "D" is going to be involved at some point, even if it consists of chips, dip, chips and more dip. Thoughts?

The Last Supper

Hi. Want to let you guys know that I'm not going to do a drinks thing on Friday, which I had mentioned previously, but I made the decision not to have it assuming I would see everyone this Sunday. So... everyone in? I'm thinking Bocca Lupa (sp?) on like Henry (?) Has the group been there before? I have been but I don't think with SND. It has good windows and a good spirit.

Ideas for future SNDs

It's already Thursday

And I know it's been a crazy week for most SND-ers. Who's around this Sunday and where should we go? I'm f'ing exhausted....

Sunday with Kyle

Sounds dreamy to me. I meant to start the chain all day today and never got around to it. So here we go. Are we all in for Lucali? and what time do we get there to put our name in/start drinking? And is it Sunday yet? cause this week is eeeeennnnnnnddddddllllllllleeeeeeessssssss.....

SUNDAY IS COMING!

I've been meaning to start this chain - but got sidetracked. Very excited for dinner on Sunday. Where should we go? I know some places have been thrown out in previous week - just not sure where people have been.

And we will have a celebratory drink for Nathaniel's NY Times review!

So who's in?

Insert another tumbleweed pic here...

Who's around this Sunday? Are we doing something? I'm in the mood for some sort of comfort-foody outing. We actually have a new place in Ft. Greene that looks cute: the Brooklyn Public House. It's a couple doors down from Bonita. Fish and chips, burgers, that sort of thing. And cute Irish bartenders.

Saturday Night Dinner (party)

So, was just talking with Brek and we both are planning to table SND for this weekend, as we have Peter's party and Miranda's reading. That cool? And we'll resume the following Sunday....

BUNNY BUNNY

(the traditional thing you say on the first day of a month. i didn't want you to think I totally lost my mind. although I guess that is still up for grabs...)

what's up this coming Sunday? I feel like maybe people were out of town? Am I inventing that? I know we don't have Nate bc of the book tour, but who else? I am moving all of my stuff back from NJ that day, which is a little exciting until I remember I have to move back out ten day later :(

But I'm avail if other people are...xo

And the winner is....

Hi! I will be back in town for this Sunday, and am hoping we are having an SND Oscar gathering. I know we don't have Peter, but who do we have????xo

Valentine's SND?

Hey kiddos! This Sunday is February 15, and I am  in love with you all now more than ever. Is everyone/anyone around this Sunday? And if so, where do we want to celebrate our love?

Advice

Here's a question for the SND group: both the deaf guy and the handicapped girl from my high school have friended me on facebook. Do I accept? What do I do with the guilt of having made fun of them in high school? Basically I am Liz Lemon. Thoughts?

I know Brekke and Claude are out of town this week but who is in? It's been awhile!

Waldorf & Statler do SND!

Claudia's Super Bowl Bday SND

Those who were at farmhouse are aware of this but I'd like to host this Sunday's SND, which is a celebration of Claudia and the Super Bowl. I have soooo much food and drink left over that it will all be very easy - just come over and enjoy. Game starts around 5:30pm I believe...

Birthday weekend

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the idea of going to Nath's country house the weekend of the 24th? We were discussing it rather drunkenly on Friday so I thought I'd bring it up in the sober light of Monday morning. I'd love to go if people are actually into it... I think Chris is up for it too. Let me know...

GGs!!!!!

Greetings from freezingly rainy Princeton.

I know we're settled on Peter's for the GGs, but I thought I would get the ball rolling re: times, foods, assignments, etc.

Petey, I assume you're planning on opening up your home early enough for LIVE FROM THE RED CARPET (aka the best part of the whole evening)?

How do people/Peter feel on the food/booze front?
