TFP New York City MEET-UP Discussion WHEN?
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.

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....

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...

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!)
