Stepping out

[pecunium]

I'm going to be in Jersey City/New York City, from the 20th, to the 29th. I have a number of friends in the area, whom I've barely met, in person, or know only from this here internet. It occurs to me that I should like to see/meet some of them.

It seems, given the constraints of time and space, arranging a specific time and place to do so might be in order. So, ladymondegreen and I are looking at arranging a small gathering (or not so small depending on how many people elect to show up).

I am leaning earlier in the visit. I have a couple of reasons; the first being it's a visit with ladymondegreen, and time is short enough. The second, I will have empty time when she is at work, and if any of y'all want to/have the time to wander around the city with me, I'd probably like it, and such things would be easier to plan, face to face.

So the plan is... Either a reading/chinese food afterwards on Weds 21 Jul at The KGB Lounge where Cat Valente will be doing a reading.

If that's too late for midweek, make a comment, and we shall figure something out for Friday, the 24th.

Are you planning to ride non-stop from Oak Ridge to NYC? I ask because I'd like to catch you on the drive up I-81 if the timing would work out. Getting to NYC in mid-week from Baltimore is probably not going to happen for me, but I might be able to drive out to Hagerstown MD (or perhaps somewhere in northern Virginia) and intercept you if I have a good idea when you'll be coming through.

I am not, at this point, planning to blow straight through, and was figuring (basesd on previous interest), to try and arrange a get together in the DC area on the way.

It's a long day's saddle time to go straight through, adding the needed rest/fuel/food stops, and it becomes something like 12 hours from start to finish.

So yes, I think we can figure something out.

OK. It's obviously easier for me if you come on east to DC and/or Baltimore.
