Demo and I will be there! We expect to make the Friday night get together, the Museum of Natural History, dinner Saturday night, and Billdo’s Brunch. I am so looking forward to meeting folks, and seeing others again. See ya’ll then! ---

I’m still in. Staying at the House of Pain. Plan on attending brunch. ---

I may be at Thursday’s Korean dinner. I’m not sure yet. If I do go, the Sprout will probably be with me. I will be at the bar on Friday night, sans Sprout. I will attend Dim Sum with the Sprout. I may well rest with the Sprout in the afternoon so that we are all perky for dinner Saturday. And I will go to the bar Saturday night. I will certainly be at the bagel brunch, as will the Sprout. I will have to ask **Overengineer** what he wants to do, but he’s asleep. ---

Go **Sprout** , go! Is **Exgineer** now **Overengineer**? ---

I will stop by No Idea bar for a drinky-poo… (or two) 😉 ---

No, **Overengineer** is my husband, Jeff. No relation to **Exgineer**. Jeff virtually never posts. He got his name because he tends to overengineer everything. In other words, he can take a simple task and make it really really complicated. ---

I will be there for the two dinners and the bar. I plan to be sleeping it off for Bill’s Bread Bombardment. You guys know if you need help you just have to e-mail me, right? Am I too late to do the heavy lifting? Yes? Good. Timing is everything. ---

**Weirddave** and I will be wherever **Hamadryad** , **iampunha** , and **Fizzestothetop** will be. Damned Virginians and their mini-vans. ---

I will be there. I don’t know what’s up. All I know is that I am going to the Museum of Natural History. I’m gonna get a picture of me with the coelacanth. ---

I’m still sad I won’t be there, but I did want to pop in and say I’m ever so impressed with your organising skills **Billdo**. Good job! ---

I’m afraid I have to beg off as circumstances are not such where I will be attending. Regards to all. ---

I will be there, arriving with **Eonwe** sometime Friday, staying at the **House of Pain®** , and leaving Sunday. I’d like to meet everyone at the bar on Friday. Saturday, **matt\_mcl** and I were planning on touring the subway anyway, so that event sounds cool. (There’s art in the NYC subway? 😕 :p) I wanna check out the Village (obviously), and Ground Zero, since that’s not too far away. And of course I’ll be at dinner on Saturday evening… with my tiara and **Double-amputee Wonder Woman** of Doperéal fame. Fear me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by racinchikki \* > **Disclaimer: Whether or not I can attend depends completely upon whether or not my managers give me the weekend off, as I’ve requested.** But…but…you **have** to attend! I already bought the Aero bars! And New York City is a perfectly safe place, honestly. It may be a bit overwhelming at times, especially if you’re not used to large, busy noisy cities, but there are so many friendly, helpful people there, it just ain’t funny. ---

I will still be there. I’ll be staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania right across the street from Madison Square Garden. So far, I’ll be at the Friday night dinner, the Saturday night whoop-dee-doo and Sunday’s bagel brunch. Everything else is up in the air. ---

I’m up for Friday night at the bar, dinner at America and drinks at No Idea afterwards. Museum of Natural History sounds good too 🙂 I’m not sure about Sunday, although considering that nearly 30 people have already RSVP’ed for brunch, I doubt I would be missed 😉 ---

Would anyone be interested in spending Saturday afternoon strolling about and seeing touristy things? I would like to go down Fifth Avenue, see some tall buildings worth taking pictures of, etc. ---

I’ll be at the dinner at America for sure, and I’ll try to make the Bagel Brunch the next day. Other events will depend on my work demands.
