<p>VH, mathmom may be able to dig up her “meet up” stickers from GCT. Off the top of my head, we haven’t heard from sybbie719 or twinmom, but I’m thinking that maybe we need to contact them, and others, via PM at the end of the month if we haven’t heard from them. The actual date still is 4 weeks away.</p>
<p>Yes. Agree. I’m just surprised that we’ve only got five Yesses to date. I would think that dozens and dozens of people from all around the Tri-State area would pay for the opportunity to meet us. ;)</p>
<p>Well, one possible issue is that it’s the end of our February break. So some people may be coming home from vacations that day.</p>
<p>Thanks, jym and VH. I’ll miss you guys too. I have to take D into the city so she can do some research, and the library doesn’t open until 1, so that is a true conflict. If her partner on the project goes with her, then I won’t feel the need to go traipse along and there’s a chance I’d be able to meet you - but the chance of her partner accompanying her is pretty slim, so I’m not holding my breath. I hope you all have fun, even if I can’t be with you.</p>
<p>I hope you can make it, LIMOM! Keeping fingers crossed for the partner’s stepping up.</p>
<p>Well, I’m certainly hoping to attend – I’d even be missing a session in the crew tanks at Trinity for it!! And, I anticipate bringing a pic of thumper1, since we’re doing a “meet up” of our own next week!</p>
<p>jym, will you need a ride to Cosi’s, or a ride to the airport afterward?</p>
<p>Bump bump bump</p>
<p>Any Tri-Staters interested in a nice sandwich and some sympathico company??</p>
<p>Requirements: Must have at least one child close to college age!</p>
<p>NYmomof2,</p>
<p>Thanks, but we will have a rental car.</p>
<p>Veryhappy,
Here are some of the threads from the last meet-up. You might want to pm some of the folks who were interested last time and see if they would like to get together this time.

<p>I won’t be at the meet up…but I think a picture of me will be (thank you to a total stranger who took our pictures yesterday when CBB and I met). We had a nice visit…pre-snowstorm!!</p>
<p>jym, thanks for the links. I’m PM-ing 11 more people.</p>
<p>Just saw this thread today … good chance I may be able to make it (and leave H home this time!) I won’t know for sure until we’re a bit closer to the date. </p>
<p>Last time we had a long table and I only got to speak to people at my end. Any chance of a different setup of seating?</p>
<p>ok,</p>
<p>I will come up from NYC to meet the folks (I am an equal opportunity traveler).</p>
<p>Yay!! Sybbie’s coming again!!</p>
<p>Twinmom,
This is a small place where you order at the counter and sit at a table, if I recall correctly. Hopefully it wont be crowded and we can push tables together.</p>
<p>It won’t be crowded because we will be so rowdy that we will drive all the other customers away.</p>
<p>I’d be interested in going, if I can figure out how to drive from New Jersey to New Rochelle!</p>
<p>I might even be able to pick up a person or two from Manhattan and give them a ride, if they don’t mind the slightly bashed-in front end of my Corolla. (My son had a little accident last summer, and I still haven’t been able to bring myself to spend the money to get it fixed!)</p>
<p>DonnaL - northern or southern Jersey? You can probably take the Garden State into the Thruway and head right across the TappanZee Bridge - won’t even have to go through Manhattan that way.</p>
<p>I’ll try to remember to take a peak at some point and see what the tables look like, I haven’t been in there since it was a Friendly’s - many, many years ago!</p>
<p>Thanks, Twinmom; I’m in North Jersey (Passaic County), right near the Parkway, and that doesn’t sound difficult at all. I have a friend who used to have a cabin on a lake in Putnam County, up in the area of the Bear Mountain Bridge, and I used to take the Tappan Zee when I went up to visit her. (I hated driving on the road – Route 9? – that goes south from the Bear Mountain Bridge, since I always felt like I was about to drive off the cliff on one of those hairpin turns, especially at night, so I never went that way.) If anyone in Manhattan needed a ride though, I could still go via the City.</p>
