Is someone going to a show afterwards? Because at 7 pm Juniors will be packed to the rafters. At 8 pm it will be empty. That’s how it goes in the theatre district. ---

Oh - I didn’t realise that. Well hopefully we can get a table and hold out until the place empties, unless people are up for a change of time. ---

Sorry, I should have pointed that out sooner. I think I’ll be able to make it though. ---

Most theatre goers will come earier and leave by 7:30. We might have to wait a little bit, but not very long. If this warm weather holds and they let us, we could eat outside in the dark. ---

Eat outside? I think not. Anyone who wants my mobile is welcome to PM me. ---

I will try to get there 5 to 10 minutes early . I’m thinking I will be wearing a blue sweater, jeans and suede blazer but I am liable to change my mind depending on mood and weather. Looking forward to it, I’m thinking I will be the oldest person there. My real name is Barbara if you think you spot me looking lost ---

I think I’ll book a table, and will probably do it under the name Cecil Adams as suggested. 🙂 ---

**Illuminatiprimus** , are you by chance a religious man? I only ask because since you announced your landing in the states I have noticed many, many sailors in their uniforms wandering the city. I saw at least 6 of them earlier tonight. I assume this is because you prayed for hot men, yes? Or did someone else perhaps pray for sailors?😃 ---

Well, heck, I will try to stop by! I’m planning to be in the city anyway. I remember a lot of things I read on this board, and recognize a lot of user names and I might even recall a few faces from the photo threads, but I’ll be damned if I could ever put two out of the three together. 😛 I guess I’d better try to get my beauty sleep… ---

I’ve got to get myself a nap between now and 7 PM, though. This getting up at 3 AM just doesn’t cut it for dinner in midtown… ---

I’ll be the woman dressed in lavendar and black, looking confused. ---

**pbbbth** , no I’m not religious, but I have run into quite a few army guys whilst I was in meatpacking the other evening. I decided against shamelessly flirting with them. 😉 Oh, and of course I forgot that you have to have ID with you to go into bars here and didn’t have my passport so couldn’t have a drink with my friend (but was very flattered that I could be mistaken for anything close to 21). ---

I might stop by, too. No guarantees–we’ll see how today goes. It would be great if I could meet you guys, though. ---

We’ll be there. I’ll be the pale blonde wearing grey slacks and a sparkly black top, and accompanied by a bespectacled white guy with a Jew fro.\* \*Except he’s Italian, not Jewish. But anyways, look for the 'fro. ---

I’ll be wearing my rainbow-coloured baby grow tshirt (believe me, that’s an accurate description of it) with jeans so should be recognisable enough. ---

I’ll be there! I should be able to stop by at around 7:30ish. I’ll be wearing a purple hoodie & green paisley bag. ---

We are on our way out the door and should be there by 7pm sharp. If we get there early we’ll just wander around the city. But today is game day in New Brunswick so we wanted to leave pleeenty of commuting time.
