Coffee hour in Old Greenwich?

A number of readers have written me to say they’d like to meet the other commentators on this blog. What do you think about a coffee meet at, say, Arcadia during the week before or after Christmas? People like Walt could, and probably should, stay anonymous, but I think it would be fun to meet up with the various readers of this nonsense who seem so disparate in so many ways. I’d spring for coffee if people want to come. Any interest? If so, report in and I’ll see what I can do.

    Sorry I won’t be there with you.

    CF, now why would you advertise your where abouts……that’s like telling al qaeda where and when the president will be with his entire cabinet. Shall I wear my bullet proof vest? I heard Tamar is gunning for you and wouldn’t want to be caught in the cross fire.

    i’ll wear a George Bush mask.

    Yes, I am looking forward to meeting the person who made a threat of discovering my secret identity via my blog name DB .

    Sign me up.

    Yeah, I can see how this plays out. A bunch of people peering in the coffee house to scope out the ‘blind dates’ and walking away.

  6. kidding really!!

    considering the real estate market is coming back strong – and you just closed on the Bada Bing Soprano’s house in Cos Cob – ARE YOU BUYING COFFEE FOR US? That could be the lure for many of us.

    Make it a game in which we’d have to guess each other’s screen names — that could be fun.

    George Bush, CF? I think not.

    In fact, I suspect you and Walt are one and the same, for a couple of reasons:

    1.) You, CF, looking for any venue to exercise your writing skills, create your alter ego: Walt.

    2.) If Jonathan Swift is your model, then satire would be your game.

    Ergo: CF = Walt

    Getting hot enough for coffee? Or at least warm?

    Ou Le Bistro Figaro de Paris? L’Escale?

    who wants to meet in person? I prefer to make snide comments and hide behind my keyboard.

    i don’t much want to meet most of the clowns who comment on your material, but it would be great to meet you and thank you for your insights, honesty and humor.

    In many ways I think this would be a great event, but I don’t think I would come. I don’t want to ruin my pet theory that “Christopher Fountain” is the pseudonym for a certain Christine Fontana at a local real estate firm.

    Sounds like a great idea. Have a good time. Since I’m one of CF’s longer distance correspondents, I’ll have to have a cup here instead.

    Bring your piggy banks and open another bank in Cos Cob.

    I’m partial to the grand illusion, CF, or as Jean Gabin put it in a film by the same name:

    “The theater’s too deep for me. I prefer bicycling.”

  16. Cos Cobber

    I always figured Walt to be one of CF’s kids. A little creative writing from the progeny.

    I won’t be in attendance. Enjoy though, be sure to post a complete set of mugshots with screen names!

    I’m not getting outed by this event.

    I’ll be washing my hair – or at least Andre will be…

  18. christopherfountain

    For two weeks?! That Andre must give a hell of a wash.

  19. Vineyard Vines

    tempting.

  20. XYount

    And we don’t want to meet you either, Anonymous, you drip.

  21. Arouet

    I’d be willing to hike in from Manhattan for this.

  22. G W Chase

    Where did I put my trench coat and Groucho glasses? Sure, I’ll be there.

  23. Anonymous

    There are many anons I suspect. I think that for the meet though, all should be an anon. To maintain the mystery. But, I’m not going if Greenwich Gal’s not, and Cobby has to go too.
