Are you arriving into JFK on Monday night? because I'm leaving for North Carolina Monday night and would meet you there if you'll be around.

there's a meet up in NYC?
I've been meaning to get back there, last time I went was new years 2 years ago
flights there are like super cheap.

I've no idea yet. My mother's husband is part of some yacht club thingy that's having some big to-do on Tuesday night, and she wants to fly me out there, but we haven't figured out any of the logistics yet. If I end up going in, it'll be on a Monday night red-eye.

i knew you were a secret rich kid alex.

this whole yacht club thing, it has something to do with my 84 year old stepfather's college days. it doesn't help me pay any bills.

My friend called into the shop today to tell me about a Hotel I should stay in. She said the Ramada Inn is nice and as far as I know thats the one Frank booked. (I think my luck is changing).

I think there's a couple in the general area. I hope its the one we're staying at.

I would sleep on a bench in Central Park as long as I get to New York, infact I will probably end up falling asleep on a bench there.

Bring a blanket, it's going to get cold.

and a shopping cart, so you blend.

[QUOTE=tom9d;1063168]Times Square...that's a place that I wish I could see through the eyes of a tourist, because I bet it would be pretty amazing. As a New Yorker, I want to shoot myself when I'm there. Soooooooooooo many tourists, and no one knows how to walk...and I'm a fast walker, which makes it one of the worst places eeeeeever. I can't take it there. But it's still pretty cool to see at night.[/QUOTE]

I remember being really annoyed in time square on my first trip there, I normally walk super slow but through time square I was practically pushing people out of my way cause I just wanted out!

I feel similairly about the tourists on michigan ave in downtown chicago.
THEY MAKE MY BUS GO SLOW AT NIGHT!!!!

Quick Question:

Im after reading at the back of an Arthur Nersesian book that Barnes and Noble have some sort of section for up and coming writers that are just breaking through. Is this true? If it is then I will probably end up buying the whole shelf.

i believe they do have a section like that, new writers or something

Bump Da Bump!

This time next week I should be safely in NYC. I really cant wait. Ive been texting Frank all week with the Countdown and Im thrilled to visit the US for the first time. Ive been on good behaviour all week and Im going to keep on a roll.

As soon as I arrive Im going in search of my very own LOHAN. I want the version without the Herpes!

GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!

I getta go too! I'm coming in Friday night and leaving Sunday night. It kinda sucks though, because I'm sure that everyone will be right in the middle of dinner or something when I get in so I guess I'll have to get cell numbers from people and call everyone to find you guys.

I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet all of you fuckers!

it's all good - can't wait, hope it warms up a tad, it's like -4 here in chicago with a wind chill of FUCK it's cold

Okay, I am set too. I will arrive at Penn Station at...lemme find my paper...7:35PM friday, on the Lake Shore Limited train...so yea, late friday as well, and I have a room with Bess at the ramada friday and saturday night.

I am still open ended, I haven't decided how long to stay, I'd kinda like to stay after the meet-up for some moon-time, seeing the sights and whatnot, and maybe a day trip or two to like Philly and DC...I don't know, I'm debating...

But at the very least, I'll be there Friday and Saturday night! So yea, see ya' then!

I'm still not sure what all my plans are yet, except that I'll be at JFK for giving rides on Thursday.  I don't know what became of the Friday night dinner and I may not be going to that now depending on how things pan out, there are a bunch of people doing a bunch of different things so I'll just try to catch up with people where possible.  PM me if you need my cell #, and travel safely!

WOOT!

I'm excited.

ok if you haven't done so already PM me your number, I'll pass out the phone list to those attending on Monday.

I wish I could get in earlier, but I just couldn't swing it. I hope I can meet up with you guys somewhere for at least a drink saturday night! If not, we'll all have coffee in the morning. What's on the agenda for Saturday in the day time? Anything? i want to go do junkie stuff like buy useless crap on Canal Street. Who wants some useless crap and junk food? Hang with Mama Bess.

Everyone has to call her Mama Bess throughout the entire meetup.

i will def call her mama bess...has anyone seen barca boy?  i haven't talked to derek in what feels like ages... he better be here this weekend!

bah!!! its soo exciting! i have a million things to do!!

yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Hello Im here. Tomorrow Im getting my bags packed then Wednesday night I start out on my jorney. I will be there Thursday and I cant wait!

 Since Tom has failed to inform everyone, I'll go ahead and say so.  The dinner Friday night is at 8:30ish.  So we are go on that one.  Thats all I know about it though, so I hope his elusive ass shows up with more details.

Also, I don't know if I will be taking my computer or not, so any plans and details should maybe be ironed out before thursday... which of course won't happen.  Anyone in my room taking a computer for sure?

doesn't mr. hash have a list of phone numbers or something?  i mean phones really will be needed, no one can just run and check in at the cult to see what is going on...seeing as how most of the people will be LONG ways from home

yes, we need to get that list out soon, MR. HASH, you here?  and if for whatever reason i'm late or don't make it to Brother Jimmy's, i'll pay my $20 later, but i will pay so no worries on that - i'm hoping that there will be some sort of Cult gathering every night, so please call me

I plan on having my computer with me, Melody.  I will need it for video and photos during the trip.  You can feel free to use it while we're at the hotel. 

Sadly, I have to bow out of the friday night dinner, I'll be at an AWP off-site event until 9-9:30 ish but I may try to track you guys down afterwards.

Also, the person who was giving me a place to stay just had a family tragedy so they may not be available so I may not be staying in the city but I will still be coming down on Thursday & Friday and possibly some of Saturday.

I'm sorry to hear that, Jase.  I hope everything is okay.  Best wishes.

Relax I'm here, I'm gonna finish up the list when I get home from work tonight and send it out.

I have a ton of work to get done this week since I'm gonna be gone from the office for a few days. 

So I wont be stopping by too much between now and then.

Jase sorry to hear your news.

Im off to bed now, Im going to try to get a few hours sleep before I start my jouney. Im all nervous and excited.

 I know your journey starts way before ours, so good luck. Good talking to you earlier, as always. See you soon.
