I'm booked up on the 31st, but it's with a fundraiser for Team Newyorkistan's Mongol Rally Entry which everyone reading this, regardless of whether I've ever heard of them, is cordially invited to. (Post going up later.)
Hey you know what would be really ideal for me? Tuesday the 28th or Thursday the 30th. What do those days sound like for other people? Saturday the first would probably also be good, and has the special bonus of being April Fool's Day -- certainly an auspicious date for a Mineshaft meetup.
13: Huh. I actually had a dream about apostropher last night. We were both touring a high school, and it turned out he was the Director of Foreign Intelligence (probably not an actual job title) at the CIA.
And I'm booked up on the 30th, not the 31st -- the Thursday, whatever the date is.
Ok, I put Thursday in my list of ideal dates cause I thought you could do it not Friday. I am putting Tuesday forward as my favorite day to meet. Could probably do Friday but I would be enkidded and hence not able to hang around very long. (But I expect Sylvia would think it fun to meet you folks.)
Jeez I try to give you guys a rallying point and what do I get -- petty cavils. I can at least show my face almost any day of the ones BW will be in town. The only exception is the 26th, when I have a date to see "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day".
I may, just possibly, be in town (well, Long Island) for work. Scheduling is less than definite. Barring work requirements (entertaining customers, etc.) getting in the way, and assuming scheduling works out, I'll definitely try to make it.
I was just up in New York today, sort of a spur-of the moment trip. As long as there's no traffic, it's a surprisingly painless drive. If it was on a Saturday, I could make it.
I'm free during the week. I was thinking of a trip to Philly on the 25-26 but could postpone it with notice. I was probably going to D.C. the weekend of April 1-2 but that could also be moved (although with a bit more difficulty) if necessary.
I just made a little table which indicates to me that Nobody has expressed any problem with Wednesday the 29th. Is that accurate or am I missing something in my review of the thread? Here is what I have: (question marks indicate "Could maybe make it but would have issues")
Whoops, I'm also out of town the 24th through 26th, and I have limited availability the next weekend. Pretty much, weeknights other than that Thursday are about it for me.
(Given that Wolfson is the one who started this all, he's in charge of actually picking an evening.)
What we really need is an over/under line on how many of these meetups can take place before someone is murdered or maimed at or after the event. Maybe teased by whether or not B-Wo is attending (as I assume he is the one most likely to get murdered or maimed) or Emerson is attending (he's killed before).
What if we met at New Green Bo on Wednesday night for dinner, followed by Chinatown Ice Cream where we can ascertain once and for all whether Almond Cookie is better than Pumpkin (assuming they have Pumpkin, it might be seasonal) and then progress up Mulberry St. to a bar?
44: Fair point. Weiner is pretty likely to kill as well; if John David Stutts taught us nothing else, he taught us that it's always the quiet ones who snap.
That may be the first time I've ever been described as "quiet."
I plead this: If you ever do run into me IRL, and I'm saying, "That's not my name, my name is Sarah," please try to use non-deadly force in subduing me till the men in white coats come.
As far as venues, while the traveling thing described in 45 sounds like fun, I think sticking with one location would be much simpler. Latecomers would know where everyone was and it would be easier on the wallet as well.
In that case, I like the idea of a restaurant/bar. I spend most of my life at O'Reilly's Irish Pub on 35th b/w 5th and 6th, and it's nice that way. (Plus, every fourth pint is free!) Haven't been to Old Town, but I assume that's similar.
LizardBreath: wouldn't it be more that Chicago forms a fundamental domain? Differentiability is more about the local smoothness (of the pancake batter, natch)
I'd had been on the bring of suggesting a satellite location in Chicago for those who couldn't go to New York, Kosko lives here right?, but this future domain business is better.
Wolfson is probably thinking of the Original House of Pancakes in Harper Square. Many's the Sunday I've spent about forty-five minutes waiting for a table there. Originally a branch of Walker Brothers, they are now independent but serving the same stuff. My family gets it's fix--just last week--at the Walker Bros on the Evanston/Willmette line.
LB: you're going to force me to do this, aren't you? Damn the ghods of procrastination for making me add what is probably an in-joke to an out-crowd. Or the other way round. That is to say, it commutes, as it where.
Ben, did you ever eat at the Valois? See your food? I avoided it for years, I guess on some sort of vague notion, and at the very end of my long stay down there, found it was pretty good.

Mr Wolfson, if you're reading this, you should probably post updates about the state of negotiations on the frontpage.
I refuse to dignify the aspersions as to my motives with a response, though you can rest assured that I have one. If I were to give one, it might be that my team has won fairly recently, and probably would have won yesterday in the counterfactual world where our team music geek wasn't on vacation.
The coup d'etat is complete. We don't know their names, so when their bodies are found we won't hear about it.

I refuse to dignify the aspersions as to my motives with a response, though you can rest assured that I have one. If I were to give one, it might be that my team has won fairly recently, and probably would have won yesterday in the counterfactual world where our team music geek wasn't on vacation.
First prize is $200, more info here.
