Happy One Year Blogaversery FIPS!

Believe it or not, bitches: it was one year ago today that FIPS was born.

True confessions: its pretty embarrassing to go back now and read my first post comparing Park Slope to Paris Hilton (though I do still agree with many of the points). Unfortunately I chose to use a celebutante to make a key point who no one gives a shit about anymore, but cut me a fucking break...I'm not Sylvia Browne.

Anyway.

We're one, so yay!

BK HOLIDAY MEATUP! OUR NAUGHTY OFFICE PARTY WILL BE BETTER THAN YOURS [TRUST]

Calling all single bros and bitches: you asked, and we answered. Behold!: The BK Holiday Meatup!

Home Base Supply Co. (We make it easy to score!©), cordially invites all of your asses to their annual (as of this year) naughty holiday office party, on Weds, December 9th at the Bell House.

That's right, people...for those of you who didn't get married/engaged/hook'd up/laid by enough random strangers since our last wildly successful Meatup in October, we've got another one for you to try your luck at.

In case you're not in the know, a Meatup actually has fuck all to do with meat (though, hello, we WILL have Asia Dog rockin their truck outside this time!). A Meatup is a hybrid of a Sat night, club crowd, I wore my nice undies just in case "untz untz" meat market and a chill, BK, "everyone is wearing glasses that make them look like an indie filmmaker but I love it anyway" meetup all rolled into one. Translation: the opportunities for getting laid will be epic.

Erin McKeown-n-Jill Sobule Rocked My Face Off

FIPS writers get the rep that we're a bunch of dbags who would rather bitch and complain and focus on the negatives of the neighborhood rather than all of the positives.  But come on, that's only HALF true.  Maybe it's because we love the neighborhood SO MUCH that we can't stand it when someone/something shitty rolls up and ruins it. 

Maybe. 

But really, one of my favorite things about Park Slope is that you can live here forever and still discover new spots. Last night was the first time I had ever been to Union Hall (ed note: SERIOUSLY??? We have a Union Hall tag for Christ's sake! :) (702 Union Street at Fifth Ave), and my immediate reaction when I walked in was "WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE?"

If Biking and Eating Don't Make You Vomit, You Should Do Gears & Grub

Personally, I'm:

• Deathly afraid of riding a bike in NYC.
• AND, very fucking lazy.

*BUT,* if I wasn't going to be away this weekend (READ: thank fucking gawd I am away this weekend), this is the sort of thing I could maybe get my ass motivated for: Gears and Grub.

Vendr.tv and Brooklyn by Bike have teamed up for this Brooklyn based eat-a-thon shit, and it sounds like they are going to be hitting up some great spots all around the BK.

You can Facebook RSVP herrrre.
