I was thinking that since the people on the Left Coast were going to get together that maybe we'd try to get together here on the East Coast.

I wanted to try to gauge how many people would be interested in getting together and then I can start looking for a suitable venue or location.

That's a bad weekend for me, I'll be in Maryland for a wedding Any other weekend and I'll most likely be in. Okay, except for the last weekend in June. So anything other than that

I might be able to make it if this is our only option - this is part of the three weeks I am gone this summer. That said, if this is going to be the day, I'll try to come back early to do it. I think Supple Cow will be in NY that weekend, so she'd probably be there.

If it matters, just about anytime after July 5 would be fantastic for me.

Also, I am sure that you put it on the same day as Seattle and SoCal on purpose, but that would preclude Halx from finally having an excuse to come here...

well... we have no commitments from anyone at this time, I'm going to couch this idea for a later time.

Icelandair had a good fare and I've just booked at trip to Iceland on that weekend.

Let's start talking about When in the future we can get together...

Averett

Well, I'd go. I just can't go June 13th or June 26th. Any other weekend than that and I'm 98% there.

I can do late summer

heyal256

I'm generally free most weekends, so whatever dates are decided, I can probably make.

ubertuber

I suggest the following three dates:

July 25, August 1, August 8

This mostly meets the criteria of late summer.

Have a good time in Iceland Cynthetiq!

one good thing about New York is..
That every sat and sun in the summer there is a huge street fair on a differeent block each day.
The 24th of July is NO good for me

I'll be in NY sometime mid - late july.

WarWagon

If I haven't moved or am on vacation, then I may be able to make it. Only about 1 1/2 hours by train.

KWSN

I'm never good at keeping making a commitment to a certain date, so once I see the final date I'll know whether I can go.

It's not a far cry for me though, on a day with good traffic the city's only about 20 minutes away.

It doesn't look like anybody's been trying to organize this for a couple of days so I'll go ahead and jump in...

Why don't we see if we can agree on one date first? I think August 1st looked good and there were no 'nays' yet (as far as I can see).

I'll bring ya lemon twists, as a backup...
(I'm nice sometimes, but don't let that get around.)

So -- what are the thoughts on what to do -- based on how the summer is starting to look, I get the feeling we're going to be in for a hot humid summer, I was only half kidding about the airconditioning... .but....

31 July works better for me, but I could swing 01 August. I'd prefer a Saturday over a Sunday since I have to work Monday.

Depending on the amount of people gathering and weather...

I'm thinking that keeping it closer to midtown since those people who come in from Long Island/NJ would come in via Grand Central and Port Authority/Penn Station.

locations: Bryant Park, Bowling Alley in Port Authority, misc midtown bars

I'm planning on going to NYC Summer Stage on July 31, as they will have 2 Icelandic bands performing.. that's free too. A bit further than midtown...

ubertuber

Hey I love that bowling alley! You can rent lanes there for a decent hourly rate, particularly if you do it online. We could bowl, drink some cheap beer, and then the whole city is right outside. Not to mention, it is kind of skeezy, the way a bowling alley should be. I am not really comfortable with the flourescent sanitization of Chelsea Piers. (Did I mention that I was the founder and president of the Juilliard Bowling Club? Not that I am any good though!)
