yeah, i'll give you and your wife a call when i'm in town this christmas. besides, we've already had them. they're called gracies.

i spent years of my life trying to get someone to go to oslo with me...it's now closed

i thought it re-opened

besides, you never had a car. detroit's the wrong place to be if you have no car

oh great, the only people to reply are expats.

my wife - that's going to take some getting used to. (for her too.)

yeah, but that's what we'll call her. for our own amusement. congrats on the new baby.

don't be spreading rumors, bossman.

i'm down.... my friend bought oslo's..so it's open now..... not sure on the menu though...

can always hit up fi-nite or the works for some late night beat freakin'


b

bring your vest, and your 9. just make sure it's not a smith and wesson 9mm, those things can't hit shit. now i know why gangsters "spray and pray" bullets with those guns.

well that was pretty much pc

who needs a 9 when you have autographed nun-chucks by chuck norris....


i can bring some free shirts for the detroit peeps.... i just have s/l/2xl in my mens shirts....all my girls shirt sold out.....

b

cryzko, does oslo have a happy hour? i'm game for it. so far it looks like a pretty weak turn out though. anyone else in?

not sure..... but i might be able to find out.....

if you like a small hip hop venue....northern lights on tuesdays is nice

new center area....

northern lights is awesome. been there many times. tuesday at northern lights might be a possibility.

they have that salt bowling rack thingy..hahah..... bring some lego people


b

you guys can count me in...

what about all other detroit residents out there?! ether!?

maybe cryzko can bring the barcelona pavillion belt buckle i ordered...

I'm here, I'm here. Sorry for the late reply. Count me in and where ever is fine with me. I can do Monday next week or pretty much any day the week after.

sounds like tuesday won't work for ether. we could do monday, but there wouldn't be an event there. that's fine with me. northern lights still has atmosphere and a good shuffle board table.

i wonder if we can pull chili davis out of archinect retirement. anyone else locally we're missing?

where is this place?

it's in new center and can be reached off the grand blvd exit off of either the lodge or 75. the address is 660 W Baltimore St, Detroit, MI. how does that work for people locationwise?

so monday the 17th?
i could venture down from the burbs for a little archinect love

gotcha. thanks jafidler. you know i might be able to make it tuesday but i wouldn't be able to get there until 7ish. what say you?

unless cryzko thinks tuesday hip hop night is a don't miss affair. i'm fine leaving it monday. i think it would be good to just grab a beer and chill. how does post-work, 6-6:30ish, work for people?

sure does.

on like donkey kong

i will be there...

Not retirement, more of an educational leave of absence. And yes, you can count me in!

I do have a class until 7:00 in Southfield, though.

nice.

good to hear from you, chili.

i'm game........ might be a little late since i dont get out of the other shop till 6ish or so......

simples.... i knew that was you...haha..... i'll see if i can run it on monday for you...... the other shop doesnt really allow me to laser unless i pay ...... so...

b

shit...man, i like know most of you guys here - you guys should do a detroit archinector's meetup in nyc.

if i were there, i'd definitely be down. don't count me as an ex-pat or i'll bitch slap you. i just have a long commute.

monday at 6.30-7ish is game then.....

should i cut my hair for this ...?


b

dammit...i am out...count me in for detroit-archinect-meet-up-2...

dozer = poser

moving to new york is being an expat...that's only a move a traitor would make

whichever...my capacity as a designer with an agenda in detroit still lingers there. call me what you will with your righteous agenda for the city - one has freedom/choices to do with his/her life wherever they are. there's always a place for every person and person for every place.

and where are you now puddles? =)

i am an expat, no doubt about it. in fact, i've never lived and/or worked in detroit...i only fantazise about it.

i wonder if the Z of doZer stands for the last name of an detroit/ny semi-famous architect...

too bad i can't make it today, i bet i know a few of you (the architecture community here in detroit seems so small)

hopefully someone will follow up tomorrow with an account of the eve. festivities!

dozer is famous alright... but for what i cannot seem to remember...

doZer is the name of my dog. he's famous for shitting 4 times a day.

Should I just look for the group wearing all black, with the thick-rimmed glasses, drinking coffee and trying to figure out if less really is more?

i think i own all of 3 black t-shirts... i am however sporting the traditional blue button up and khakis... (you can't miss me) but just in case you do, here's a fairly recent photo.

look for the :2:37am: hat........

Sorry I missed out. Let me know how it turned out!

it was fun. jafidler, his lovely fiance', cryzko and I showed up. we all got completely tanked. cryzko is a marksman at hurling barbecued chicken wings. they ended up kicking us out after jafidler thought it would be a good idea to get atop the bar and start dancing (while slowly undressing). ...umm what else happened it's a little fuzzy after i was knocked out by the barmaid?

wooooohooooo!

i've got a splitting headache. not sure if it's from drinking that fifth of jack or sleeping in the gutter with only the curb as my pillow.

all i can say is that "mr roboto, where are you".........

had to school a few youngin' on the dance floor as i brought 1984 back into the place with a backspin/head spin to a air flair conbo that took out 2 people on the dance floor....... (raiden wins...fitality)

next time no glowsticks........ the rave days are over


b

just back today...i am still pissed i couldn't make it...let's do it again soon...
