NYC Meetup Update

Asides, WordPress

Based on the comments on the last entry I think we’re going to kick off the April 11 meetup at Bryant Park at 6:30, and if needed migrate for drinks at 8 PM when the park closes to someplace like Heartland Brewery on West 43rd. How’s that sound to the New Yorkers in the audience? Update: Scott says “The northwest corner of the park is the most accessible (south of the Starbucks, east of the Verizon shop). Plus that’s where the coffee is.” That’s where we’ll meet. I’ll be in a beige overcoat and green shirt.

    how will us newbies find you?

    Hey, hey, Bryant Park is a fine place. I don’t think it’ll be Texas-quality warm, but should be nice enough. Instead of Heartland Brewery for drinks, though, I’d suggest nearby Stout NYC. They’ve a beer for everyone. ;-)

    i would love to join in. what part of the park will u be at?

  • Kurt G April 10, 2007 @ 12:19 pm

    Sounds great! I’m going to make it a point to be there.

    My only question is, since Bryant Park is a bit on the largish size, where exactly can I find you all at 6:30?

    Thanks!

    Sounds fine. I just hope it’s not cold.

  • Thom April 10, 2007 @ 2:00 pm

    Sounds good (although I’m coming from Jersey). Hopefully I won’t be too late!

  • Rachel April 10, 2007 @ 2:07 pm

    That sounds good to me

    To this New Yorker, it sounds a little on the chilly side. I suspect somewhere indoors would be more pleasant..

    Sounds good. Where in Bryant Park will we meet? By the Merry-Go-Round? The Fountain? Should we wear funny hats to recognize each other?

  • Matt April 10, 2007 @ 11:07 pm

    What do you guys suggest as the best place to meet in the park? I’ve never been so I don’t know.

  • Scott April 10, 2007 @ 11:21 pm

    The northwest corner of the park is the most accessible (south of the Starbucks, east of the Verizon shop). Plus that’s where the coffee is.

    Frankly, I have to agree with ERH after looking at tomorrow’s forecast. Not exactly spring here yet. Of course, it won’t be terrible so it might be practical to meet there, and then move along after an hour.

    See you alls tomorrow.

    Northwest corner it is!

    It’s too bad about the weather, maybe we can circle laptops to generate heat.

    If anyone misses us at the park, it’s probably because we went to the Heartland venue a litte earlier than 8PM.

    Regardless of rain, sleet, or snow, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone. :)

    I’ll be there, looking forward to joining you all!

  • Mike April 11, 2007 @ 2:23 pm

    How do these meetups normally go? What goes on? I’ve never been to one before and I was curious.

  • Eric Skiff April 11, 2007 @ 3:53 pm

    Looking forward to it – see you in a bit!

  • Elliott C. Bäck April 11, 2007 @ 8:34 pm

    Ah poor me, I should have paid more attention. I was actually in the area around then!

  • Elaine Vigneault April 12, 2007 @ 9:09 am

    Sorry we couldn’t stay and go to the pub. We knew we should have dropped the pup off at the sitter… aw well…

  • Mike April 12, 2007 @ 1:58 pm

    Who’s posted pictures yet?

  • John Keegan April 12, 2007 @ 9:45 pm

    I posted pics at http://tinyurl.com/38d3af

    Please post comments on the pics to help me identify everyone! I’m so bad with names!

  • ME April 13, 2007 @ 10:01 am

    It was great to meet everyone. I am glad to hear Matt survived his late night excursion to the terrifying wilds of Central Park : )
