The Apiary Launches The Apiary Odyssey Club
Are you tired of sauntering aimlessly around the Big Apple going food cart to food cart without any real life plan? Are you sick of meeting people on eHarmony who won't shut up about their stupid decaying ovaries?
Then it's time to join The Apiary Odyssey Club.
The Apiary Odyssey Club is exciting. Each week or so, its members will go to a comedy show somewhere in the city. At that point, you can then choose to talk to or drink with the other comedy fans in the club or whoever else is in earshot. So to break it down, it's a casual way to meet new people and go to shows.
Don't even try to influence where The Apiary Odyssey Club travels. We'll go where we want and when we want to. We'll spend however much we feel like spending and we'll do it without subscribing to the "norms" and "values" that society imposes on us. Also, you cannot make fun of The Apiary Odyssey Club if only like 1 person shows up at the first show. So suck it, player haters.
Registration is simple. Just email theapiary@gmail.com asking to be jumped into the club and voila! You're in. We'll then decide where to go or what to do.

I would, but the Apiary has a strict policy of never attending Tell Your Friends! SIDEWAYS FROWNY FACE!

nate, are you lonely?
Posted by: Alex Blagg at January 20, 2006 12:15 PM
No! Why does everybody always try to undermine my teambuilding events???
Posted by: Nate! at January 20, 2006 12:20 PM
Aw, poor Nate, I'll go out with you. (Finnegan's out of town for college gigs.)
Posted by: Kambri Crews at January 20, 2006 12:46 PM
And I still don't believe you exist.
Posted by: Carol at January 20, 2006 1:18 PM
hahaha. aw. this is sort of adorable, actually.
Posted by: bran at January 20, 2006 1:50 PM
There is nothing adorable about this! If you've commented on this post, I'm accepting it as an implicit admission of your desire to be in The OC.

Congratulations on your new club Nate. Of course I would never join in a million years (you understand) but I do invite you and your new disheveled drifter friends to attend this Wednesday's H2KP.
No discounts. And please don't talk to, or attempt to touch, the real audience members.

Don't trust Nate's idea of teambuilding. The last time we tried to do Trust Falls, he didn't bother to catch me, and instead left me bleeding on the ground as he went to go check in on his Animal Crossing town.

I believe T-shirts are in order...

All you people have are jokes. THis was a serious request and it's just another opportunity for you people to make light. What kind of community is this!
Posted by: Nick at January 20, 2006 2:53 PM
I'm in (I am defiant, unself-conscious, and undermining myself even now with this parenthetical)!
Posted by: K at January 20, 2006 2:56 PM
It's cause we're hoping that if we make a funny enough joke, it'll get picked up by the Apiary.
Posted by: stan at January 20, 2006 2:56 PM
i kid because i love. you know i'm in.

obligatory "the FIRST rule of Apiary Odyssey Club ... "
Posted by: keith h. at January 20, 2006 3:06 PM
Instead of actually going anywhere, can we go on an odyssey..of the mind?
Posted by: Matt at January 20, 2006 3:17 PM
I'm all for drinking some underground comedy Kool-Aid with a bunch of people who deep down think they could be the next Eugene Mirman. Sounds like my idea of a hoot.
Posted by: Tim Duffy at January 20, 2006 3:22 PM
What about checking out Chicks and Giggles?! We have boobies! The other shows cannot compete!
Posted by: Nichelle at January 20, 2006 3:33 PM
Nate really likes Sandwich Socials.
Posted by: Jon at January 20, 2006 3:38 PM
Seriously...I'll go out with you.
Posted by: Kambri Crews at January 20, 2006 5:48 PM
I'll go on an Odyssey with Nate.

Way to score a date with Finnegan's girlfriend, dude!
By the way, you and your club can go see any show you want, obviously, but I will say that I have a friend and she went to H2KP and Bob and Todd made everyone kiss them on the lips and now she's got herpes.
Then she came to my show and found a five dollar bill. Just sayin'.
Posted by: Liam M. at January 20, 2006 6:16 PM
I really think this sounds like a singles club. Although Nate assures me it's not.
Posted by: MCC at January 20, 2006 6:23 PM
I'll only join if at some point we rumble with the Red Hat Ladies.
Posted by: Anthony DeVito at January 20, 2006 6:34 PM
Yes, it's true. Someone did get herpes at our show but it was anal herpes, not oral. I don't remember kissing all of our audience members, though I wouldn't be surprised if we did.
Here's what I do remember. It was a sold-out show. I also remember, at one point, Liam being gentleman enough to offer a woman his seat. Whatever happened to her?
At Liam's last show someone was knifed in the bar upstairs. Cops said it was a dispute over possession of a five-dollar bill. That's the third murder at that bar in the last two weeks. Just sayin'...HOW TO KICK PEOPLE, Wednesday, January 25th, 7:30pm - at Mo Pitkin's. (www.howtokickpeople.com)

Followed by CHARACTER at 9 pm in the lounge... with a bunch of funny solo stuff plus a preview of Doody Calls by Wiener Philharmonic. Wieners and Doody - yum!
Posted by: Carolyn at January 21, 2006 12:15 AM
Wow, I guess the whole "going to Tell Your Friends!" thing is sounding sweeter by the second, huh?
Now, I'm not one to spread rumours about H2KP, but I will say that no one's ever killed a puppy onstage at TYF!
Posted by: Liam M. at January 21, 2006 4:34 AM
...and that's exactly why you should go to TELL YOUR FRIENDS! tonight. They're premiering a new bit called "PUPPY HAMMER!" If you can't make it tonight to watch the show's headliner kill a puppy with a claw hammer, don't worry: I've been assured it will be a weekly feature at the show. Don't you just love the NYC alternative comedy scene?
