Ho ho ho!

It's that time of year again... time for Santa to dig himself out from his elf-and-reindeer hogpile, wash the vomit off his pants and join us for a madcap drunken joyous wandering of the city streets we know and love.

When: December 16th, 2006 10:10:10AM
Where: (Check here the night before, suckas)
What:???

Santacon is your opportunity to be Santa! You MUST dress like Santa, you SHOULD ho-ho-ho like Santa, you OUGHT TO give out gifts like Santa and (of course) YA GOTTA drink like Santa.

Is this some kind of political statement?
No. It's fun. Remember fun?

Who's in charge? SANTA.

SANTA'S RULES:

* Santa looks like Santa. Holiday apparel is mandatory. A Santa hat is not enough. Get a Santa suit. Buy a Santa suit. Make a Santa suit. Steal a Santa suit. Get creative: be a Secret Santa, a Santasaurus, Candy-cane, a Reindeer, a Chanukah Chicken, a goddamn latke. Just don't wear your fucking jeans.
* Santa acts like Santa. Be jolly. Belly-laugh. Let people sit on your lap. Give out gifts.
* Santa doesn't talk to the press. "Ho-ho-ho" is good. "Publicity ho" is lame.
* Santa doesn't get arrested. Please remember the FOUR FUCKS:
1. Don't fuck with kids.
2. Don't fuck with cops.
3. Don't fuck with security.
4. Don't fuck with Santa. (yeah, it's okay to fuck Santa)

SANTA'S GUIDELINES:
It's a long day, so be prepared. Here's some tips to keep your sleigh running all day.

* Dress warm. It's the northeast. It's winter. Wear layers so you'll be comfortable anywhere from the North Pole to the strippers' pole.
* Bring a Metrocard. Santa doesn't like waiting for your sorry ass to use the machines.
* Stay with the group. We're experimenting with a text message chain this year, but technology fucks up. Go with friends and call one of them if you drunkenly wander off. Try not to drunkenly wander off, though. How hard is it to lose 500 Santas?
* Stay hydrated.
* If you can't stay hydrated, stay liquored up. There will be bar stops, but they can be short and crowded. You are responsible for your own inebriation. Santa is not advocating breaking open container laws! Santa's just sayin'...
* Don't be "that" Santa. Your friends want to have fun, not scrape the puke outta your beard or prevent your wasted ass from wandering into traffic.
* Pay your own damn bar tab. Tip bartenders well for putting up with us.
* Santa does not make children cry (unless they whine, snivel, or otherwise deserve it). Really - If you see kids, give them nice toys, candy, or something pleasant. Feel free to urinate on the parents. Tourists fall somewhere in between the two -- adjust depending on their attitude.

SANTACON

SORRY KIDS NO CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR SANTA SOLD THE GIFTS FOR WHORES AND BOOZE




Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
everyone felt shitty, even the mouse!

Dad at the whorehouse, Mom smoking grass,
I just settled down for a nice piece of ass.

Then out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my piece to see what was the matter.

He came down the chimney like a bat out of hell,
I knew right away that fat fucker fell.

He filled all the stockings with pretzels and beer,
and a big rubber dick for my brother the queer.

He rose up the chimney with one thunderous fart,
that son-of-a-bitch blew my chimney apart.

He swore and he cursed as he flew out of sight,
"Piss on you all and have one hell of a night."


SANTACON IS DECEMBER 16

We will convene immediately following work for happy hour in the Don Hills area! Fire-up, Katie's dad is the bassist in the hat.

definite blackout potential. one of my buddies from high school who lives on the upper west side is a u michigan alum and he's having a big pregame party for the ohio state game. he had the same type of deal for the notre dame game a couple weeks back and it was unreal. lots of early morning binge drinking, some bbq, and some good looking asian women. about an hour before game time they head down to a huge sports bar down on park and 27th 'the country club'. big time michigan bar. anyone down to party that weekend is welcome. i talked with minogue and mozdiez both seemed pretty interested. anyone else get your blue and maize ready and your finest drinking shoes polised up.

What happens in BOC does not necessarily stay in BOC.

I arrived at work this morning to find this confusing email. After about 45 minutes of re-reading it and half-awake pondering, I can only conclude that it happened while I was weekending in the BOC. I do not follow any of her references, which confirms this fact.


SUBJECT: An Inuit to trade?

Hi Nathan,
I'm afraid we have no photos to share with you and the
boys right now--we're not very proficient with this
new Mac that Nicole bought. We promise to figure it
out soon and send you the pics. Hopefully you guys
have some to share with us?

You guys are hilarious--thanks for introducing us to
"one red paperclip". We should all meet up again soon,
but maybe somewhere a little further from Blackout
City.

Teresa

Things I'd like to know:

What "one red paperclip" is
how one goes about trading an eskimo?
What she is willing/offering to trade for an eskimo?


A small sidenote: I believe our interaction with these ladies arose when Nuedo and I walked over with the pineapple we had stolen from the Pourhouse, I broke a hole in the pineapple in frotn of them with my sharp little fingers, and starting squeezing fresh pineapple juice into their beers, telling them it would enhance the flavor.

Saturday Night Singles

This Saturday night, the 23rd, blacking out is going on at Solas, on 9th St. between 2nd and 3rd. You see, there are these two girls, and they're trying to celebrate their birthdays in peace. They expect to black out. Just not the way we black out. My friend is in from DC, and these are all his girlfriend's friends, so I don't know them, and my friend doesn't know them, so we can completely make asses of ourselves....not that some of us have much of a choice. It starts at 11pm. (Hours after our night starts.) I heed you to make the right decision about this Saturday night.

Drunk Dial the City.

All right I just set this up, you can now drunk dial Blackout City. Its like NYC 311 except it will provide NO help. This way we can all remember the messages that you don’t remember leaving.

Where: McSorley's Old Ale House 15 East 7th St
(The 6 to Astor Place then East 2 streets and South 1 street give or take)

Thursday Birthday Blackout

For anyone interested, it's Taurie's Birthday this weekend, so we're celebrating THursday night, June 22nd. We're throwing 'em back at Yaffa Cafe on St. Marks in between Ave. A and 1st starting around 8 or 9pm. Taurie will be blacked out guaranteed. She's the only one who takes the Wine Express straight to the heart of the city.

Also, I'll be in Boston this Saturday. Let me know what's going on.

REMEMBER...

This Saturday is JOURNEY/DEF LEPARD at Jones Beach! The BOCSC (BOCOBCNAG) is sponsoring the event and will be providing transportation to all who would like to come. Beers will be consumed, mullet-watching will take place, and fist pumping will reign supreme. Tickets for the show are still available... Please contact Dr. Mixer for details.

Appetite for Destruction
Rocks Off Presents: Appetite for Destruction
Fri June 16; Boarding: 10pm, Departure: 11pm
Skyport Marina: 23rd St, at the FDR
$25 at RocksOffEvents.com

Welcome to the jungle! G&R tribute band Appetite for Destruction is returning to NYC. And because they rock too hard for dry land, they'll be playing on a boat.
This is a much bigger event than the Slash-less engagement "Fat Axl" just closed at the Hammerstein. A taste of the action:

The Band: AfD is so disturbingly spot-on they even perform the borrowed intros G&R used to segue into their own material live -- e.g., a few strains of Grand Funk Railroad leading into "Sweet Child O' Mine". For this show, they'll burn through 25 tunes, likely opening with "Nightrain" and closing with "Paradise City". Their one inauthentic note: unlike F'Axl, lead singer Bill Shores won't storm offstage prematurely -- a good thing, since he'd drown.

The Cruise: You'll be headbanging aboard the Half Moon, a double-decker with a full bar below and a stage up top. The trip spans three hours, steaming down the East River under the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, with spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty -- whose torch of freedom will be burning for an encore of "Mr. Brownstone".

Tickets are already on sale, and since capacity's obviously limited we suggest ordering now, before this Metal Ship sets sail and you're stuck watching a landlubber has-been instead of this brilliant, floating knockoff.

============================

GAW sent this to me and I just wanted to say that G 'n R cover bands are a GREAT time. I think we should all go, the tixs are cheap, we can pregame and save money on booze while on the boat. Let me know what people are thinking and I'll get some tickets.

A quick shout out

To Danica and the girl's party Saturday night. For allowing a drunken group of fools who brought a 12 pack of donuts instead of beer into the party. Snappy's attempt at eating a Boston Creme donut in one bite was classic. The donuts proved more popular at Whiskey River, and the jelly-filled delicacy inspired a 3am brunch session with a round of bloodies and eggs benny at Moonstruck Diner.

Summer Concert Series

after a chance encounter with mixer and nuedo this past weekend and a hearty discussion over some tasty blue moons, car bombs, and arepas i decided to look into this journey/def leppard tour a little more. and for those of you who don't know what an arepa is, it's two very tasty pieces of cornbread that for no particular reason at all are fried on a dirty grill at a street fair and then are slapped together with a piece of mozzarella cheese in between. oh yea, then let it sit on this dirty grill for, oh about 6-8 hours, and then have a couple of drunk kids bargain the leftovers for no price at all. no sides, no sauces, just dry cornbread and low quality mozzarella soaking in smog for an afternoon. simply delectable. anywho, back to the matter at hand.

checking the website for def leppard i found the answer to one of the important questions. journey opens the show and def leppard rocks the night away. secondly, the mohegan sun date on wed the 28th is miracously sold out. lots of fans up here in CT. the jones beach show on saturday june 24th would be perfect, except that i will be in miami that weekend and i really can't miss this show. they are playing in Atlantic City at the Borgata on July 1st, and 4th of july and gambling and drinking go great with journey and def leppard but $100 tickets are a bit steep. they've also added some additional shows at the end of the summer. there's one at saratoga, ny on sat sept 16th or boston on sat sept 23rd. those tickets haven't gone on sale yet but judging from the jones beach tickets they are around $35. some other shows at jones beach this summer....

• styx/foreigner fri 5/26
• jimmy buffett sat 7/1
• chicago/huey lewis fri 7/28
• poison tue 8/8
• john fogarty/willie nelson fri 8/11
• korn/deftones sat 9/2

and judging from these guys on the jones beach website i think we have no choice but to look into some of these shows....

Journey and Def Leppard!!!


june 28th at mohegan sun casino

This just in from Inhebriation and Naturalization Services:

As a Nation that values inhebriation, and depends on inhebriation, we should have inhebriation laws that work and make us proud. Yet today we do not. Instead, we see many citizens turning to the illegal liquor market. Illegal Inhebriation is on the rise. The taking of drinks, shots and or dirty bar rags from those whose hard earned dollars were used to purchase them, is only going to worsen if something is not done.

Reform must begin by confronting a basic fact of life and economics: some of the drinks being bought in America are drinks our citizens are not drinking. Yet these drinks represent a tremendous opportunity for undocumented drinkers who want to work and fulfill their duties as drinking buddies while maintaining no accountability for the purchase of their own drinks. The simple fact is many just cannot afford the steeply increasing cost of liquor. We see millions of hard-working men and women condemned to fear and insecurity in a massive, undocumented, economically driven sobriety.

Our nation needs an Inhebriation system that serves the American economy, and reflects the American Dream of cheap and easy to obtain liqour. Suggestions such as the "Guest Drinker" program offer no long term solution to the problem. "Where do we begin?"you may ask yourself. The answer my friends is to be found in a system which is grants free and easy booze.
That system is outlined weekly and can be found at the following site:

http://www.myopenbar.com

BOC Citizenship should be easy and cheap to obtain.
May we never forget the beauty of free booze and the great things that Inhebriants bring to the fabric of our nation.

-Scott's Mullet

A Moment with the Mullet:

Two guys are sitting in a bar. One turns to the other and says:"I fucked your mom last night, rode her for hours."

Shaking his head the other man says:"I think you've had enough to drink, Dad."

The Longest Blackout Ever

When Steve and I hopped in the Outback to head down to DC for the Syracuse Georgetown game, we had trouble packed in our dufflebags. My friend Zak had a 20 person suite at the MCI Center. We knew boozing was going to start early on Saturday for the noon game. Little did we know that boozing from Friday night wasn;t going to stop at all. After a 4+ hour drive, we pull into Union Jack's in Bethesda to meet the crew, and when they show up we immediately start doing rounds of Jager shots. I mean rounds and rounds. They had been at their humble abode, the mini-mansion, (it lives up to its name) pounding everclear, and it was noticeable in their slurred speech and droopy eyes. We get back to their place at 3am and toke for a few hours. Next thing I know the sun is shining and its 9am. I get up off the coach fully clothed with my shoes still on, look at Nuedo and say "Shit. My shoes are already on. Looks like I'm ready to go." and grab a glass of booze off the table....its full of puke. Me from the night before I suddenly remember. So I head to the kegerator. 4 sips later and I'm back in the bag, and the hangover never even had a chance to sink in. In preparation for the game we each fill a Sprite bottle with whiskey. At the gate, the spunky ticket collector says "What the hell is that?" as she bats her wand against my crotch. I say "What? Thats just me." To which she gives me the "take-that-out-of-your-pants-or-I'll-cut-you" glare. I take it out as she says "Fool. You're allowed to have that. Go on in." The game was quite forgetable, and afterwards we headed to an empty McFaddens in Georgetown to cause ruckus. Upon arriving, we learn that it is Tony the bartender's birthday, whcih causes us to break into song every 5 minutes, to his pleasure. Suddenly he asks if any of us has bartending experience, as he is overwhelmed. Nuedo raises his hand and shoots behind the bar as Tony disappears for about 10 minutes. Needless to say, the shots came rapidly and never appeared on our tabs. Then Nuedo becomes overwhelmed and calls for an assistant, as Amlin hops behind the bar. After being kicked out as guedt bartenders, we decided that we had had enough of McFadden's, so Oral stuck our free parting gift, a bottle of Absolut, into his jacket sleeve, and we hopped a cab to some random house party. Aside from an incident where Nuedo threw a half-eaten jello shot into a vat of meatballs and someone immediately asked "who the FUCK put jello in the chili?" we were pretty harmless. Or so we thought. Thank God Nuedo's plans to toss someone through the low-laying second story wondow never worked out. About 8pm, as Nuedo, Bicks and I sat downstairs talking about leaving, 7 of the biggest guys at the party rolled up with their arms crossed in silence. Nuedo was on the phone with Oral and he said "Gotta go. Looks like we're getting thrown out." The ring leader asked us why we thought this, to which we replied, look at you, you're fucking ready to fight. They never told us why they were kicking us out, but they put their hands on Nuedo a few times, which almost led to chaos. Finally, as they slammed the door in my face, I saw a girl I had been talking to upstairs and asked why are we getting kicked out? To which she pointed at me and said "it was you!" I suddenly flashbacked to about 15 minutes earlier when I had suggested she make out with a few of her lady friends. I thought she found this funny. I guess not. So we headed back to the minimansion for bong hits and more booze before heading to Vegas Lounge, a dive bar with $10 cover, a rocking funk band and the Bush twins slutting around the dance floor. Nuedo bee-lined up to one of them to start grinding when she turned around, looked him up and down and said "Are you fucking serious?" After about 4 hours of Vegas Lounge, it was closing in on 3am, and we decided to catch a cab. At this point it was Nuedo, Radin and myself. The cabbie didn't like that we were telling him how much we were going to pay, so he pulled over and asked for money. We told him to take $20 or we were going to ditch him. He said no, its $26, or he was going to call the cops. So, we ditched him. We ran up the street and dove into a few bushes as he slowly creeped by. Then we backtracked behind an apartment building and scaled a 10 foot fence, as we dove to the ground every time a cab approached. After another cab picked us up and kicked us out a mile later, refusing to take us all the way home, we found a third cab and made it back to the mini-mansion. And that, my friends, is a weekend spent in Blackout City. Nuedo, please fill in any blanks as you see fit.

Not sure if this qualifies as BOC material but pretty sure. met up with some old high school friends who were in town this weekend. a couple of brews for pregame with a frozen pizza for dinner. head out to a bar. more beers. trouble ends up showing up in the form of a 28 yr old married indian dude who wanted to do jager shots with someone. i'm down for shots. some chick named sophie starts yelling at us that jager is for pussies and we end up doing 4 shots of jack with her. find out her real name is michelle. not sure which of my friends took me home but woke up with my matttress off the frame of the bed, the tv blasting the food channel, an empty wallet and chunks of frozen pizza on the wall. thankfully the indian dude was no where to be found.

my irish cousin and a party bus ride t ithe city

well here is the story of whne my irish cousin decided to visit. the cousin i speak of is john the place he was visiting was boc. the night started out as most in new york do a cold wait on a trendy line to get into an over priced club.

100 dollars later we decided to move to the next spot. we were calling it a night and then toruble rolled up and introduced us to a bachelore and bachelorette party. after talking to these girls for a little we though it would be a good idea if trouble re-intorduced everyone to my irish cousin, john. hes from outside of Dublin

my irish cousin and myself thought it would be a good idea to challenge the ladies we met to a drinining contest and convinced them that they should buy cause it was johns first time in the US

a bunch of lies later the bar was closing and we ended up on the bachelor party bus on our way to down town.

after almost getting into a fight on the bus with the best man my irish cousin and me decided not to head up stairs to this dudes apartment and walked home.

Thank You for Being My Valentine Yesica Toscanini

Well I though this Valentine's Day would be like so many others that I have had in the past; Baking a a heart shaped Betty Crocker Triple-Chocolate Layer Cake and eating it alone as I cry myself asleep to Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

However, MY 2006 Hallmark Holiday Story starts with an invite to the S.I. Swim Suit Party (I would like to thank The Academy, Bode Miller and Trouble) and ends with not only beating the system and making my way to V.I.P., but sippin Cris and hanging out with super model Yesica Toscanini.

There is not much more to say:


Valentine's Day 2006 - 0
Nuedo - 1

Good morning fellow citizens. The following post is an inviation to Hoboken, NJ for a sloppy good time. For those of you who don't know, every year Hoboken has a St. Patty's Day parade with floats and cheerleaders that no one watches. Instead everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn, gets drunk, and then trucks it to the bars at around 10am for a day of Irish-tivities. Last year there were hour waits at all of the bars by 11am, it is no joke. The date is March 4th and as the representative from the Western disrict of B.O.C. my apartment will be open for "business" the night prior and the morning of for drinks (4th and Monroe). Planning ahead, knowing not everyone will make it the night before, we have picked out a particular watering hole that treated us very well last year. The name of the bar is Rogo's, and it is on the corner of 7th and Willow in Hoboken. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Slainte!!

BOC Preakness Post Time - Place your bets!!!!!!




Ok the race is three months away and I am going to try to use The City to organize it this year. So tell your friends.

Hotel: I'm thinking the same one as last year we are still allowed to stay there some how. I can call and reserve a bunch of rooms like last year we have time but I would like to get a count of about how many are going then book instead of booking canceling, trying to get more rooms, etc. . .
*** Just make a comment to the Hotel Post below this one and let me know how many spaces I should get for friends, dead hookers, hookers, whores, etc.***

Beer and Ice: Last year worked out great from what I don't remember. I would recommend a 30 rack and 2 or 3 bags of ice per person.

Pools: This one isn't too over the top
***The same deal as the Hotel Post for input on the pool make comments to the Pool Post.***

There will be more to come and I think The City should pay for one of these for me. So I can have a normal BOC trip home.

****** Side note about the city. If there is anyone that needs a "pass" to BOC have a dozen or more beers if some one needs a access to the digital BOC let me know. Also anyone can make comments to the Blogg just by creating a user name.******

A little something about a place called Murray Hillel. Its a birthright for most, similar to getting ones first Louie wallet or nose job.Hence, I have a discrepancy. Why does Murray Hillel have basketball courts, softball fields and parks? Are they mocking the pilgrimage of this birthright? Are they saying, all out war, perhaps Blue Bloods vs. Gold Bloods?

And Thats what really grinds my gears.....

DC TRIP FEBRUARY 25



We (some SAEs) are planning a trip from NYC to DC to watch the Orangemen of Syracuse take on the Hoyas of Georgetown. I will be leaving on the 24th in the afternoon/early evening after people get done with work.

It should be a great weekend my cousin is an Assistant Attorney General which like Nico Toscani makes me above the law in DC.

Anyway I think that the Upper East Side of the city should take the downtown express and meet up with the kids from Midtown.

The lies, oh the lies.

It was a typical weekday afternoon. I was at home watching a little CNBC when I read a forward from Thinny. Thin's forwarded message was info regarding the close of Darwins Restaurant and Bar in fabulous Syracuse, NY. I sat stunned with disbelief. Many thoughts ran through my head... Was this message true? Should we make a pilgrimage to say goodbye and fare-the-well? Have a coolada and poor a little out for the BOC community? Should we burn the evidence (Dave and I would have some explaining to do)? Should I call Crystal and Shane? Where are Gabe's teeth?
I had to track down the root of this rumor. Just remember kids, all paths lead to Wachter. Jay said he talked to 'a friend' at Larry's and he said Dirk sold D-wins and it was closing in May.
I tried to call Dirk immediately. I reached his law office downtown but he wasn't there.
Then I remembered, Lustig is THE turbo-jew. He has the resources to figure out this potentially delicate situation. One call to the fast-talking iBanker and the wheels to solve this mystery would be in motion. And they were.
It took no more than 36 minutes for Lustig to call me back. He called Clark Gilbert (Brendan's little brother) the current manager of D-wins. Clark set the record straight. Dirk is still the owner of Darwins and they are busier than ever. No plans to sell the Bar but (sad to say) Dirk did change the combo to the safe.

Darwins, our home and mother to Blackout City and its surrounding areas, will survive. Perhaps a 'no reason' pilgrimage is still in order? After all, I haven't been back since I was banned from Onondaga County in 2003 for:
- throwing a full pint glass of Scotch at an unsuspecting 'patron' of Darwins
- making Roofie Cooladas in a closed establishment on a Monday evening and drinking them on S. Crouse (Sirhal's fault)
- taking roadies into Faegan's only to discover "they don't serve bottled beers" there
- stabbing that coke-hoarding midget in the bathroom at Uncle Larry's (sorry 'bout that Crystal)

Sorry for the long message, but I had to set the record straight.

P.S. I am moving to NYC sometime in March... anyone for cocktails?

BODE MILLER BOC's Event Management Director Sent me this Important Announcement -

Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. Our Idiotarod is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it's people, instead of sleds, it's shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it's New York City.



I have already figured out the best route (I have a lot of free time)

Leg 1

Leg 2

Leg 3

I think Team Blackout City should be in it. I'll work on getting a cart, I have the time and there is a homeless man who lives in the dumpster across the street. His cart or house looks like it is strong and fast, I'll see if I can trade him 2 O.E. 40's for it.

For more info check out the link on the side.

If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while you're in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it on a truck and take it to another city...this is where they've taken you. This city is what it is because it's citizens are what they are.

i am so happy to be invited to the official blackout city blog. now we all have a place to share our wonderful experiences with each other. for anyone that's interested, an informal gathering will be held this weekend (prob saturday) at empire szcheuan in nyc (3rd ave and 29th st). they got some great deals - $12 all you can eat appetizers and all you can drink bud heavys for 2 hours. blackout squad mount up!

ps - i'm very aroused

In honor of Mixer's birthday, I managed to almost get into a fist fight with a 72-year-old beer pong playing, beret wearing old man at the bar at about 2am. Luckily the bouncers quickly pounced on him, dragged him out the door, and then thanked me and bought us all shots, saying they were sorry we had to deal with the old kook.

The elderly are not welcome in Black Out City.
