NYC Area Dopers October 8th & 9th get together

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Hello fellow NYC dopers.

October 8th and 9th Open House New York is having their annual weekend of free events. They take people to places not normally open to the public and have tours.

What sounds interesting to you?

Why why why must all the Dopefests be held on days when I have something else to do that I can’t get out of?

Well, in all honesty, October 8th I plan on recovering from a monster hangover, but I’m free October 9th. :slight_smile: All I would request is skipping the high places, unless somebody wants to hold my hand and assure me that I am not going to plummet to my death despite the fact that I’m still inside the building.

Architecture & Design; 'nuff said.

Zebra, I know both first and second hand how difficult it is to coordinate these soirees. In the interest of keeping your sanity, you have my firm commitment that (barring death) you can put down (or etch in granite) the following:

Definites: (2) JohnBckWLD & Guest. I also have a third who’s a more than likely yes.

BTW, for single ladies, he’s a half anglo/half Chinese 23 year old, charming ex-rugbee player…

Thank John, I knew you would soon be here with your vainty search list.

The Prince George Hotel looks pretty nice and there is a different event at Radio City.

6

Thanks for the nod, JohnBckWLD. I’m afraid I’m going to be occupied here in Houston about that time.

Hmmm…, damn! It’s been a year and a half since I’ve been able to make an NYC gathering.

Well, at the least I can bump this for y’all.

7

I have a party on the 8th, so the 9th would be better for me. I don’t want to commit just yet so I may lurk in this thread for a bit before responding further.

8

I think I’m off that weekend.

9

Yeah, it worked!

But I can’t come to New York in October. Sorry.

count me in - either day is fine with me (i’ll keep the weekend free)

11

Come one Eve, Greenwood Cemetary is one of the sites.

12

Should be able to make it- count me in

13

They are going to email me more infor on 9/21 about the various events.
I’ll post details then.

14

Yes, I am vain.

Let’s see the details.

15

Seriously, John, would you take me off that spoiler list? I don’t live on the East Coast anymore, there’s no way I’ll be attending any dopefests there in the immediate or not-so-immediate future.

16

Um, I won’t be able to make it this year as I’ll be located in parts more distant [sub] and hostile[/sub].

However, I plan on being home for a few weeks when I get back, and I’m thinking of throwing an impromptu “Summer of '06 DopeFest” in the NYC area.

That, and my MonDopeFest in Glacier Nat’l Park the same summer. Oh yeah, it’ll be a party-a-week around me. :smiley:

17

Let me thow my name into the hat for now but I reserve the right to back out at the last minute if something prevents me from attending (which usually happens)

And Draelin if you want I would hold your hand and assure you that you am not going to plummet to your death despite the fact that your still inside the building. (Stricly platonicy because the 24th of Sept is my 2 month anniversary)

18

Have they bought Florence La Badie a gravestone yet? I’m not going back there till the poor girl has a gravestone.

(I might be interested in some of the architecture tours, though . . . )

19

I’m so vain… I probably think this thread is about me…

(Thanks John for that list).

Sadly, NYC’s a hair farther than I think I can make it this fall for a day trip. Sounds like a cool event though.

That Monday is Columbus Day. (if you get it off then you can spend two days)
