I feel like it'll end up being an annual thing. I hope so. That's if we get enough people to turn out; I got all excited and locked up the bar we're going to and all of a sudden everyone clammed up.
Anyone planning on attending this shindig?
Anyone traveling from out of town?
I'm trying to figure out how good of a host I need to be, on a scale of 1 to 10.

I will be there, and I'll see about collaging some sort of Chestermate{Patent Pending} cut-out that we can put a santa hat on, and force feed liquor to, and take compromising photos of: involving a donkey and the loser of a mariel hemingway look-alike contest... in honor of our missing compatriot.

Thanks Josh, now all of us non-attendees are square. Wait, square. Like little pieces of paper with designs on them.
That would be a great party favor. The LR logo on hits of acid.
Clint, please do! And put a camera on it and a teletubbie screen for the abs so I can interact.
Oh, and make sure to trademark everything. Even the drinks you drink and chix you bang.

Depending on my work schedule, money, and finding a place to stay, I will probably be there!

I can say that I am free to go, but have no way to swing this in all likelihood. Haha.
I'm becoming convinced no world exists on the outside of my door.

Unless something huge changes, I'm there. Looking forward to flying in. And Rob, as I said before, you only need to be a good-enough host to make sure that I get a killer pastrami sammich. And even then, you can just tell me where I should go!

We should all go to Katz's. I haven't been there in forever. I need good pastrami in my life.

Yea, I don't really expect to be able to come up with a hard and fast number, but I'd like to be able to give a rough estimate to the guy who runs the bar.

July 5th @ 6:30 PM at that bar. I think I can swing that so long as school doesn't require my presence for no apparent reason. That and I don't get sucked into another summer love.

@ChesterPane, I am going. Believe it or not!! Shit. I even started writing this week so I wouldn't feel like poseur extraordinaire when I show up!! I got some splainin' to do to a you and Liana and a few others. Also now that I remembered I was Kaetea around these parts, I gotta see if I can get that back. Maybe one day this year, I'll have an income again and get my arse back out to Portland. :)

New York's alright...if you like saxophones.
After I get my wings (?) I hope to do this meet-up next year, or sooner but in the future, depending on how often this happens. I'm having a blast here, and I only just started.
I hope there's some official write-ups of how this goes. Have fun everyone!
