Perhaps you read on Gothamist.com or elsewhere about the existence of Smiths Speed Dating, hosted by comedian Dave Hill. It happened on Friday (with another one planned for February 12), and it was so packed they were turning away folks at the door.
Someone who attended blogged about the event, and here are some highlights.
When a cameraman from Time Out New York criticized everyone playing around on their iPhones: "What should we have been talking about, oh wise dating sages? The
21-year-old with the goatee and the size negative 4 jeans standing in
the corner? Congratulations, cameraman. You’re at a Smiths speed date.
In a sea of Greenpoint hipsters you’ve managed to ascend to the apex of
hipsterdom and earn the prize for biggest douche of them all."
About an anarchist he met during the speed dating: "If I ever met her in a dark alley, one of us would be getting
their face bashed in, and you can probably guess who that would be.
That’s right…her. There’s no way I’d let a girl kick my ass. Still,
she’d probably put up a good fight."
"The crown jewel of the night, though, was a girl that had a role in a
movie I saw recently. I distinctly remember thinking to myself during
the movie that the girl was beautiful. I also distinctly remember
thinking to myself during our brief encounter that the girl was
beautiful. Lest you think my attraction to women is purely physical
[you mean there's more to women than looks?—Ed.], she also had a great
personality! Or so I think, since I only had William It Was Really Nothing to get to know her."
