Original Post:
So...I enjoy drinking tea, and I found out today Mike (DSV) does too. Some people may already know about it, but there is a really cool place downtown in the East Village called Gong Fu Tea that sells all kinds of looseleaf tea. It is quite the experience to go there. You can buy the tea to take home as well as have them make you some to drink there. I know Jake is a big tea drinker too...is there any other interest?
I thought it would be fun to go buy/drink some tea? Clean up the cars and take some pics while we're downtown? :tu: or :td: ?

Sorry I'm not posting all day like you dorks!
When would the interested parties be...interested...in doing this? We could do it Saturday night possibly. I'm open to suggestions.
edit: By the way, last time I checked they are closed on Sundays.

I work until 10p on Saturday, so that probably wouldn't work for me, unless it was before 2:30p.

Well...here's their days/hours:
Teahouse Hours: 7 A.M. - 6 P.M. Central Standard Time
Days of Operation: Monday - Saturday
I'd say a weeknight at like 4:30 would be good, but I know most of us are barely off work by then...

I talked to Jessica earlier (dubgteye) about possibly a Saturday afternoon around 2pm or something. Maybe October 13th?

Okay...How about Saturday Oct. 13, afternoonish (2 PM maybe)? That would give everybody time to make their cars look nice. Then since it will probably be sorta cool outside it'd be good tea drinkin weather.

Iff'n I can, I'll swing in. Can't promise the GLI is cleaned up, but I might be able to swing in to say hello. If I do, someone needs to give me a crash course in tea so I don't look like (more of) a total idiot.

If you have ANY questions about tea, the people that work there are awesome and super helpful. I was a tea n00b when I first started going there and they are like personal tea consultants - I had never had loose tea before going there and now that's the only kind of tea I like. It's so tasty and fresh. You could check out their website before you go and look at all the stuff they have. It tells all about the different kinds they have and has pictures of each kind. You've got to smell them when you're there too. They smell so...interesting.

Well, turns out I have to work today at 2pm, but since it's not far I'll stop by a little early, before I head over to the theater. :(

Hope you guys had a good time; I stopped by about a quarter 'til 2 and hung around for a while before going to work, but no one showed up before I left. I did tag a pretty sweet Golf parked nearby, though. :D
So where the hell was everybody?
Me
Gary
Adam
Mike
were all there and we drank tea.

Sorry I flaked, y'all. I got busy priming the basement walls yesterday and time got awayfrom me.
OT: I'm watching NOPI Tunervision and this drift-prep'd 350Z sounds absolutely awesome.
When's the next "tea time"? :D

I hadn't seen my brother in over a year and he's in town, so I had to pick family over tea...even though this was my idea!
We should totally have another tea time since Jake, the tea man, couldn't go!
