If I go, will someone of the female persuasion sleep with me? Didn’t think so. OK, I’m in. BTW, if y’all can handle one subway stop into Brooklyn, I have a perfect spot for dinner, with a private room, at an Irish restaurant called Eamonn Dorans in Brooklyn Heights. I held my wedding party there (long story), and we had a fantastic time. Possible spots for drinks afterwards would be Pete’s (microbrews!), or Last Exit (more fun, but definitely small), also in the Heights. Sua Sua ---

Put me down for a definite maybe. And, **racinchikki** , if you’re listening: in the other thread you said you couldn’t drive in NYC. I’m not to far north of you (in Saratoga Springs), so if I do go, I would drive past you. I’d be happy to give you a lift if your parents would let you go with a strange man.

I’m used to being out until midnight or 1… or 2… or 3… in the morning anyways though 'cause I go to the races.) ---

Um…Sua was a definite. 🙂 And his idea for where to go sounds good to me, but I honestly don’t care…just tell me where to go. I _think_ I might drive/train up Friday night, so if people want to do something during the day Saturday, that would be cool. And where are the NYC regulars? Hmmm? 🙂 ---

Alright kids. . . Business trip in May got nixxed. Count me out. However, I expect that one round be dedicated to me. As a matter of fact, I’ll send cash for one round of beer. And make sure you designate a **Note Nazi**. Tripler **Falcon** I hope you are enforcing this policy. 🙂 ---

Oh Cajun Man…you know you’re irregular, and we love you for it. 😉 (You finally gonna get me drunk at this fest, hmm?) But seriously…I meant like Ike, Eve, Manhattan, Alphagene, SaxFace, soulsling…where are you folks! 🙂 And Trip, you know I’ll enforce it. I just won’t be the one taking the notes.
