no can do...I'll be chillin' in Firenze.

This date gives the out of towners about 2 months to figure out some way beg, cheat, or steal their way to the city and enjoy the company of fellow travellers (and beer)

Bill, you forgot to add one thing.

It's not just (and beer) but rather (and lots and lots of beer)!

Fixed!

Since we missed the last meetup, my husband and I hope to see you all in Sept!

Thanks Bill!

I'm down for kickin back some beers. I'm not sure if I'll be busy that weekend yet. Hope this thread stays updated so I can check back when I know!

I'll be there. Here are my picks for the meetup. They are all super dives, not for the amateur sippers.

Grassroots Tavern
Old East Village type place
Jimmy's
I wasn't the one to put the word out on this place, I wanted to keep it a secret.

Rocky Sullivan'sI've been kicked out of here for talking too loud during a poetry reading. But I don't think they remember.

The second two have excellent jukeboxes. Irish at Rocky's, and Soul and R&B at Jimmys.

EDIT: I didn't write this, marty did but forgot to sign me out before posting, so I don't take any blame (or credit) for the above.

So it is marty we have to keep an eye on?

Yea, maybe a bit. Even at my advanced age, I can still be prodded to steal a glass, but only with a very compelling reason. (like if Boston Bill wants the "Boston Lager" glass)I've spent years in bars though, which is better than years behind bars I guess.

Anyone else have thoughts on where to meet?

I'm there.

Figures ...this year I am coming home early (normally I am there in September)...

home the 19th of July till the end of August...maybe there is a time for people that can't make September. And as a south Jersey native...NY is an easy trip by greyhound...as is AC and Philly....

perhaps I should have done another thread....but thinks its ok...also maybe some will wantto meet up twice?

i'm so there! people, i don't troll the boards as much so please let me know when these things happen. thanks, bill e. this is the senior bna meetup class, as rachel called it!

Ahhhhh...you guys have no idea how much I wish I could be there for this meetup!!! A little BnA shenanigans is in order! And no chance of a blizzerd this time....

Anyone want to meet up in South Korea? Busan is lovely this time of year....
Fat chance, huh. Bummer....

Have enough fun for me too...not that there's any doubt of that.

There does seem to have been a lot of kissing... particularly involving BillE... no wonder he wants to plan another meetup.
