Wednesday Pub Night #242 (03/28/01) - 7:00 pm at Swift
PubNight 5th Anniversary
Back to the Pub Night home page
"Reaching back to an ancient tradition of drinking on
Wednesdays to celebrate half the week being over, we
are starting a Wednesday Pub night tonight."
March 23, 1996, Stuart Piltch started PubNight with the above call to
imbibe. It's been 5 years since PubNight #1 - we've been to 187 different
bars (out of 241 PubNights) - and it looks like the institution of PubNight
is as strong as ever.
Let's take a look at the stats:
- -We have been to 187 different bars in three NYC boroughs and Hoboken, NJ
- -There have been 551 different people at PubNight
- -242 people have been there more than once
- -Average attendees per PubNight NYC since inception (3/27/96): 14.56
- -Average attendees per PubNight NYC in Phase 2 (171+; since 10/27/99): 17.16
- -For Women Only - The odds are good, but the goods are odd? Indeed.
Ratio of men to women: 1.5 to 1
- -For Men Only - Traveling to Maine?
PubNight Portland has 1.4 women per man (2.3 to 1 if we
omit married couples)
- -Number of PubNighters who found us by web surfing: 2 (We'd welcome more)
- -Number of PubNights where PubNighters danced on the bar: 2
- -Number of PubNight attendees' cars towed: 2
We shall return, once again, to the site of PubNight birth - the back room
of Swift零 Hibernian Lounge, an Irish pub on 4th Street on Wed. March 28th
from 7pm on.
I believe that for the 5th wedding anniversary you're supposed to get (or
give) 'wood' - I'm not sure I should comment on that without changing the
rating of this email to something greater than PG. Regardless - Swift's
Hibernian Lounge has a lot of wood (tables/paneling/bar).
We've reserved half of the back room of Swift - but try and get there before
7:30 (if possible) so we can guarantee that we grab more than a few tables.
So, come and toast the first 5 years of PubNight - and the next 5 years (and
the next... and the next...)
