**Hal Briston** and I will be in New York City on one of these days, in the afternoon/evening sometime. If anyone would like to meet, let me know, we might be able to get together for an hour, two, or three for a bite to eat or something along that nature.  
We’ll obviously have to decide on a day, though…chances are Hal and I won’t know what day is good for us until I actually get there, so this one may have the latest known/set day.

However, we might be able to base it around those people who are/would be able to attend one held in NYC. If you’re interested in going to one in NYC, let me know and list the days that would be good for you (between the days listed in the title).

From [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=807144), one person has seemed to express interest so far:

It’s a busy time of year; the 9th 10th and 13th are specifically out due to prior commitments. The 12th is also less than ideal. That makes it sound like I don’t want to make it much of a priority but they’re mostly events involving lots of people & where I have responsibilities etc. The sooner we nail down a date the better.

I can’t commit without knowing the exact date. Even then I probably won’t know until it gets close. But I am interested.
