Yes, yes, I know about the WRONG COAST's multiple meet-ups in Nancy Pelosi-ville (hate to tell you, she's from the land of my birth -- Baltimore). Let's face it -- these folks are from SF so what else do they have to do but meet up???
Thousands of years of historical data have supported the fact that CORRECT COASTERS have actually hand-cleared a zillion mega-tons of rocks to plant our fields after we hand-wrestled turkeys for the rest of the nation to figure out what the hell to cook for Thanksgiving. Oh, right -- unless you are molding a tofu turkey in SF with arugula stuffing.
Sooooo, those of us who were raised in the correct time zone because we believe that arising at the correct hour to be able to drink at an earlier, appropriate time, would like to share with all of you the joy of gathering for peace, love, booze, conversation and some food in the greatest City in the world.
The angels of all known religions -- even those which don't believe in angels -- showered light down on the arrival, at Grand Central Station, of many important Kossacks who live in the vicinity of THE City but not walking distance.
I was actually prepared to travel in from Brewster, NY on Metro North (going South) until a special angel offered me a ride!!!!
Blessings, thankgodforairamerica!!! When my most excellent chauffeur found us a perfect parking place we were met with Kossacks from far and wide who didn't sign up, but thought they'd get ericlewis0's autograph.
This event would have been impossible without sidnora who is not only an excellent event manager, but one of the most welcoming warm people on the planet.
Right now, I will depend on Belinda Ridgewood, Design the Future, Eddie C and anyone else who took pictures. As you can see from my few pictures, I was too busy blabbing.

No Exit --- argggghhhhh -- forgot to put this great pic in the diary on first publication
Me -- honestly, I thought it was supposed to be a dressy affair
Our wonderful Kossaks who traveled from four States are:
blue jersey mom, rubyr, mconvente, kathny, sidnora, Belinda Ridgewood, MBNYC, ericlewis0, Ollie Garkey, No Exit, Mets102, brooklyn liberal, thankgodforairamerica, Design the Future, Eddie C, moi, and Phil S 33 via smart phone.
Much love to sidnora and Phil S 33 for being inspirational and organizatonal. You two are responsible for a perfect day -- except for missing Phil and a bunch of others who couldn't make it.
The SF crowd already has teaser photos up of their get-together yesterday. Check out and rec NEW DAY: A Little Photo Tease. Also, check daily for Navajo's NEW DAY series for the most up to date meet up in your area. Think about starting one. Even if you meet one other person -- what the hank, it will grow.
Much love to navajo and the SF crowd for being an inspiration for everyone on the site. I'm waiting for the other continental meet ups!
