When Parche comes to visit New York City

[ThomCat]

October 23rd and 24th, I will be organizing a DU meetup here in the city to welcome him.

On Friday evening we are planning to meet for Chinese food, and then go hang out in an Irish pub for the evening. :toast:

On Saturday plans to be determined. :)

If you in or near New York City and you want to join us, please let me know. Any and all DUers are welcome.

1. Put me down as a 'highly likely', TC.

I trust you'll be posting further details?

[ThomCat]

3. Hi, Thomcat

Please keep me posted. I hope to meet up with you folks at least once over the weekend.

[ThomCat]

5. Cool. I absolutely will.

:hi:

4. UPDATE:

We have a location!

Instead of having dinner in one place and then going out to drink in another, we found an Irish Pub with a really good full menu, so we're going to spend the entire evening having dinner and then hanging out in the Irish Pub.

The Pig and Whistle, on 2nd Avenue between 50th and 51st streets. www.pignwhistleon2.com

We will be meeting here on Friday, October 23rd for a DU Meetup. Anyone is welcome.

I met with the manager, a very friendly Irish lass named Paula, and we talked about having the meetup there. This pub has a back room on the first floor that has room for plenty of us. It is wheelchair accessible. There is pretty wide variety of food on the menu, including a number of vegetarian choices (or choices that can be made vegetarian). She is happy to have groups come in and we are happy to hang out as long as we want. :)

6. Keep me informed. I'm interested.

Always good to meet fellow DUers in the flesh once in a while.

UPDATE: Got update re meeting place on Friday. I'll see what I can do, maybe take half a day off from work and take the train down to Manhattan.

:yourock:

7. I am going to see Leonard Cohen Friday, but will meet up after

Should we do a Facebook thing too?

[ThomCat]

8. Yes, I should. That's a good idea.

:)

But Parche needs to delay this trip because of some official type stuff that he needs to deal with. So I'll post the new date as soon as he knows when he's going to be able to get free to come to NYC.

It should only be a short delay, so this will be soon. :)

9. DELAY for a few weeks.

Parche has some stuff keeping him at home right now that has to be dealt with before he can come to NYC. So we are delaying the meetup.

As soon as we know the new weekend I'll post it and PM people. It should be soon. :)
