We have the downstairs party room at the Penny Farthing, and we’ll be there from about 8:15pm until, I don’t know, like 9:30? That’s when I’ll wilt, but y’all may party harder than me.
(This is next Wednesday, dudes, as we said earlier! Not tonight! My sitter is sick, I can’t deal with you delightful nerds right now.)
I will not be doing pushups for you, as my dress is too short, but, I don’t know, I could do hammer curls or something?
Who’s coming? JOLIE KERR AND JAYA SAXENA and male matt lubchansky. And you! Oh, and thanks to the ladies of The Coterie for setting this up! If you want to be part of their NYC group, email them!

I am coming!
Can anyone offer insight about the Strand advance buying/ticketing? Better purchase ahead or to just do the day of?
SHUT UP
when oh when will there be a Boston one please
Are you in this Facebook group? https://www.facebook.com/groups/491140164297275/ OK, we haven’t gotten together recently, and have never had Famous Guest Appearances, but still! We’re OK. (And Jolie should definitely come up here for a book event — isn’t she from here???)
Is for a Toasties-in-Boston experience? Because I live in Somerville, and daily wander the streets hoping to see another Toast reader.
then you are basically walking past us constantly WITHOUT KNOWING IT
I live in Somerville!
Actually lifechanging!!! Thank youuuu
I am from Boston! Not sure yet when I’ll be able to come back home, but it will be sooner rather than later and YES we should meet up. I would love that. Scorpion bowls at the Hong Kong, yeah?
YAYAY! Let’s do it!
I am coming from class (it’s midterms, so read as: ready to drink.) Yay!
YES YES YES YES YEEEEESSSSS!
You can also join The Coterie straight from the facebook page! Just click to join!!!
Hi, one of the ladies of the Coterie here! I’m very excited to meet you all on Wednesday!!
The bar is a very quick walk from the Strand, and once you come in you’ll see some stairs to the right that you can shimmy down to get to the downstairs, which we have to ourselves (there will be a separate bar and bathrooms down there so you don’t have to mingle with the bros of union square). If you’re at all lost or confused you can just talk to the nice hostess at the front and she’ll direct you to the stairs (once you get down there we’ll have a sign and assorted nametags if you’d like).
Also, any NYC toasties that would like to come to Toast meetups can go ahead and click the link to our facebook group, if you join there you’ll get all the events and fun stuff. We actually have a meetup tonight, at 7pm at RPM bar (266 broome street) if you want to come and get tipsy with other smart fun internet ladies.
Srsly, though, I am SO excited, and I hope you come to Middlemarch first!!!
I will be there for both! Should we get our tickets at the Strand now? This is going to be the best!
I’M SO JEALOUS! Raise a glass for those Toasties and Pinners pining away in sad absentia (but wishing you the very best time!)
me too as well so jealous!
Me me I’ll be there!
the bartender shall be there. or at least a bartender. no promises. (promises).
D’oh! Now I’m super extra jealous I’m on the other side of the country.
You all should really come to DC. We have, uh… the stairs from The Exorcist?
And MObama.
I was trying to move there until I read your comment and now no please
Why is male matt lubchansky the only one honored by bell hooks style lowercase?__
Men do not deserve upper-case lettering.
I heard a rumor that the internet’s elusive darth may even be attending this event…
shut uppppp ugh you guyyyys
Ronbledore will br therr, hiding behind a curtain at the back
Why must all of these meetups happen on the wrong side of the Atlantic.
I will be there! So unimaginably pumped. Looking forward to meeting all the Toasties!
Whats the policy on men that are not matt lubchansky -do they bring animal sacrifices?
Their first born son?
Are they only granted access if a woman opens the door for them thus draining them of their manliness?
-(asking for a friend)
Soooooo if you guys ever feel like having one of these in Chicago… it’s cold as shit right now, but we have lots of pizza.
Oh. Yes.
Into it!
COUNT ME IN.
I am coming to both! Now I just have to finish the last 500+ pages of Middlemarch AND Rebecca’s book. So exciting!
Count me in. Since I’m coming with my partner/fellow toastie- glad I won’t need to bring any sacrifices. Nicole- I’m also going to cast a vote for hammer curls!
Boooo, I am supposed to be working until 9! Hmmm.
I had a COMPLETE reading comprehension fail and thought this was TODAY.
Okay I will try to come.
Is there an SF Toast readers Fb group anywhere? Ooooor SHOULD WE CREATE ONE?
I’m coming to both! Woohoo!
Wait, do we have to sign up to attend? I’m usually a lurker on the site, but I read every day and would absolutely love to meet other readers, as I am constantly recommending that other people read too so we can have something to talk about!
You don’t have to sign up to come to the meetup at Penny Farthing, just come!
Fun! I’m in, pending Hamlet getting home in time to take over childcare duties.
I’M COMING! I’m really excited. It is unsure if I will be there with the friend who’s coming to the Strand event with me, or if I will just get ballsy and show up alone. I AM AFRAID OF NEW PEOPLE.
I’m in. Really excited!
I'm in. Really excited!
I’ll be there! I have a class from 8-9, but I’ll scoot in shortly thereafter! Can’t wait to see you all!
i’m in! with a friend! (not sure if y’all are still counting heads)
