Greetings all,

We still need a guaranteed number of people for the dinner at OTTO. Would those who have committed but still need to verify, how many, please chime in.

[Stephane]

A small udpdate as Kruzer comes alone...

@Vly: I suggest you book for 14 as nobody else came back to us.

We must move forward.

If some more persons would want to join, well I guess it will still possible from what I read in your mails with OTTO...

Hi all,

Got a pm from a local buddy, RedRoom.

He cannot yet tell us if he will be in town that monday.

But, if he is, he will join "last minute".

Cheers

Stephane

Great news Jojo.

This put us at 15 I believe.

At least with wifes and GF around we will behave properly

I can't assume that those members who have not validated the list will be bringing a guest.

I am asking everyone to confirm and add to the list.

[RLudlowe]

Is it too late to get in on this? I'm a local but never did a GTG before.

Let me know if you can make room for 1 more -

Not yet, but there will be an after dinner for sure

@VLY: did I say EddHead should most probably attend alone ?

[vlydog]

No Stephane, I did not hear this. Should we confirm Eddhead as "attending alone"?

[Stephane]

Yes. Until further notice, let's say "attending alone".

[yellomen]

Haven't been reading a lot over here so i completely missed this thread, Stephane. Excellent plan to organise a GTG on New York!

And for those who can't make it this time or want more... i will be visiting NY a few weeks later I'm there from september 18 untill september 22. I'd love to meet a some fellow forum-ers! So if you fancy a small GTG, drope me a line

[peterw2]

Newbie here, I live in NY but will be away on vacation and won't be able to make the GTG.

There are a couple of places you all may or may not know about but would be interesting to visit to compare, salivate, or purchase vintage rollies (gens, perhaps frankens but you experts would know):

Aaron Farber gallery just off of fifth avenue on 52nd street

And there is a booth in the diamond district between 5th and 6th avenue on 47th street, north side toward the middle of the block, slightly closer to 6th avenue. Look for the deep red awnings in front of his window. He's got all sorts of 5513s, DRSD, etc. Almost too good to be true last time I looked a few weeks back, I wondered how many were actually Frankens or even whether this guy knows as much as the experts here. His inventory also changes frequently, but certainly seems to specialize in vintage subs/SDs.

Enjoy.

I cannot even begin to believe this... but as a single father I may have to cancel my trip this week. My 3 year old started getting pretty sick last night and it hasnt subsided.

The nanny just called and said I need to come home and possibly take him to the doctor as he cant keep anything down. Unless there is a marked improvement between now and tomorrow morning, I will have to cancel.

Anyone else from SoCal able to get the time off if I cant go? I dont think my ticket is refundable...

T

UPDATE: I am out. My son has a 102 fever and the nanny wont stay with him while I am gone if he is sick. I may even need to get him off to the doctor tomorrow morning if the fever doesnt subside.

I cannot even express how disappointed I am. I have made some great new friends that are going to be there, and I was REALLY looking forward to meeting them.

I will be contacting one of you attending for a little favor...
