Why would ya go to a chain restaurant in the middle of NYC? Especially one that serves lousy food and tries to rush you out as quickly as possible… Of course, my opinion doesn’t count. I’ll be working on the river in Mass. that weekend. ☹ ---

No Sax Face? No Green Bean? No good. ---

Because I am stupid, I did not realize that this was the Memorial Day weekend. This does not necessarily exclude me. I have to check with my family (I have one, you know) to see what they have planned. If anybody really cares, I’ll come back to this thread with the results of my research. ---

You know, none of this is set in stone. I’ll check with SisterRiddles, but if it means meeting more people, I’d rather do it another weekend. How’s the second weekend in June for people? I have a show opening the week after Memorial Day, so I could probably use the time. It’s up to you guys, I want the most Dopers for my buck. ---

The second weekend in June is better for me, too. A lot of New Yorkers go away for Memorial Day, so that weekend may not be good for many of the other folks that might just show up without much pre-planning. Besides, I’m hoping to take a kayak course up on the Deerfield River in Mass. (the same river Green Bean works on) on Memorial Day weekend. I’d hate to have to choose between the course and finally meeting the one-and-only true love of my life, SisterRiddles. Bill P.S. SaxFace, Surgo is just up in Ithica, not far from the catskills. Maybe you can take him to the Latvian weekend, too, and really get em talking. ---

Lux, awww, you almost made me cry. Now I know why you’re such a hit with all the ladies. Billdo, at the Latvian party last Saturday everyone came up to me asking, “so where’s your 18 year old boyfriend?” It was quite embarassing and I had a lot of explaining to do. Surgoshan is invited to come - but only if he manages to hold his liquor this time. SR, the second weekend of June is good for me at this point. It would be great to meet you. ---

> [@](#): > > Now I know why you’re such a hit with all the ladies. There is so much irony contained in this statement, compasses point to it instead of magnetic North. 🙂 Whatever weekend works for everyone else works also for me. I have no real schedule to speak of, so if everyone prefers June some time, that’s cool too. ---

The second weekend in June is both Okey and Dokey with me. I’ll be lurking to see when and where to meet. I can’t wait to finally see y’all face to face. ---

Actually, if we can push it out to the weekend of June 19-21, we can include **pldennison** and presumably **Mrs. pl** in the festivities. I’ve got a couple of vegetarian restaurants that are worth a try. ---

I’m afraid that I am unavailable on June 20. I beleive that Green Bean will be away for that weekend as well. Bill ---

Wait a minute!!! 1. I screwed up. I will not be unavailable June 19-21, and I don’t know of any reason that Green Bean will be either. (I was confused with the weekend of May 20). **BUT** 1. I think Manny screwed up as well. _There is no weekend of June 19-21._ June 19 is a Monday. I’m free on the weekend of Friday, June 16 through Sunday June 18, though. ---

How did the third weekend come in to play? I was talking about the second weekend in June, the 10th and 11th. How’s THAT for people? ---

I am up for going, whatever weekend. I can work my schedule around it. I will watch this thread for finalities, but count me in! ---

Just tell me where and when. I’m going back to GQ, where I actually factcheck stuff before I post it. ---

Still seems good for me. Is SisterRiddles still coming? Have you told her of my intense, burning, and undying love for her yet? ---

I’ll pass the word along, Bill, and see if she decides to attend or not. Then again, SisterRiddles enjoys a good ego boost every once and a while, so she might dig it. ---
