This is follow-up to GChaucer2's call for a meet-up in the Northeast corridor written last week. Please see diary here
The challenge has been put out there---East vs West; as navajo has organized a couple of large events on the "other" coast.....
I'm sure we here in the East are up to the task.
We have sorta narrowed down to a possible August 19th date---a Sunday. This seems to work for a greater number that wished to attend.
That said---NOTHING is absolutely set in stone; but time is moving on so best to firm that up this week.
Discussion on exact location follows below the squiggly....
Being that we aren't likely to try for the Four Seasons; or the Rainbow Room (is that still there?); we need to focus on someplace; and book that location this week or next.
It seems that the consensus that has been agreed to is we'll get the most attendees by having it IN the city---transportation being the driving force (rail,etc); and, it's central locale.
Now the task is to find an appropriate restaurant.
General requirements:
Can accomodate 15-30 or so people in a reasonably separated area.
Is reasonably inexpensive..
Has free wi-fi.
Presumably in Manhattan --for easy access for all, once arriving in the city.
S0...the purpose of this diary is to try to nail down who's coming; and additionally, for those in the know--coming up with a location. Those Kossacks familiar with the city--please offer up location ideas---and websites, so we can make some determinations where to go. Additionally, please send us your email addresses, so we can communicate quickly, as we get closer to the event.
The floor is open.....offer all thoughts in the comments.....and if you wish to leave some private thoughts---Kosmail me--or GChaucer2.
Remember, navajo has already got a couple big bashes scheduled----we can't let the West Coast shame us---can we???
NO WAY!!!!
