Hi guys,
After a good amount of planning and deliberation, I am coming to the NY area in mid- to late March, sans the boyfriend (for budget and cat-watching reasons).
While I'm there, I would LOVE to meet up with those of you who live in or near New York City!
I'd like to propose a meet-up on Thursday, March 15, in Manhattan, from about 6-9pm.
If you can make it, please PM me as soon as possible, and I'll give you the details about the location, etc.
I'm really excited for my first multi-person OS meet-up, and I hope I'll get to meet a lot of you in person!
Also...this wasn't intentional, but doesn't this post kind of look like a skyscraper?! NYC, here I come!

It's a fantasy destination for me, and will remain so, sadly.. for now.
'Meet-ups' are always so fun. 'Tis the season
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I hope it's great and look forward to reading about it!
i would need a beer or three to alleviate my social anxiety
& total surrealistic experience of meeting up
with what Mom would call "yer little friends on the computer"
I probably can't make it, but who knows.
What i am looking forward to is the gossip & pictures
& impressions of people, from you.
If i dont make it, consider me there in spirit.
I suppose i might wear my new hat to this.
In NYC, my big sis says, they all dress in black...?...
i have a black coat and black jeans that are a little baggy on me
since i lost weight...
Nyc is said to have alot of good bookstores, and i sure would
love to go off on an adventure to get some books.
Skyscrapers make me dizzy & insignificant, so i would need
someone to guide me. My agoraphobia virus may kick in.
Gosh i wish i could go...
Too bad if not, really. I would like to thank you personally somehow for your Fiction Weekend. I could NEVER have grown like this on my own, and I really mean that! It's the college of creative writing class I couldn't have.
Do have a great sojourn (French!), no matter what! You've earned it.

Every meet up I've been at in Manhattan has been a delight. The OS people are great at partying. Looking forward to it.
Standing by for location and details.
I would SO LOVE TO MEET YOU. Any chance I can talk you into coming to Seattle?
I have a place for you to stay...
xoxoxo -Ingrid
Have a wonderful time!
I'm going to do my best!
- Beth (why am I signing my comment? Coffee hasn't fully kicked in.)
I posted this last night (my time) and had a visitor here, so wasn't able to check back in and comment.
I'm so thrilled that some of you can make it - and I'm so sad that I won't be able to see all of you, of course!
Ingrid: That is an amazingly kind offer; unfortunately, this time I'll only be in the NY area. But thank you - and I hope we will get to meet in real life some day! Boy, do I hope!
James - If you could figure it all out, how could it would be to meet in real life! And not just because I love your new hat!
no not at all. actually, hard time discriminating between
long curly haired me (in need of trim)
and guy under hat.
would be beyond amazing, us mouses, us shy folk,
meeting......
i loved that movie. the utter miscasting of clooney,
who pulled it off and finally won my grudging respect.
the people coming into coma lady's room and berating her
ha ...the wonderful pact between distant Dad and alienated
Trouble Daughter..the last scene , hangin out on on the couch
together as a family..........what is the competition, hah?
some damn silent film? oh how clever.
is there any STORY in it?
The help, huh. havent seen it due to fear of sugar overload.
A safe flight to you, Alysa.

Alysa, I hope you have a wonderful time and say hello for me!
Larry - Yes, it kind of does...though I think the meet-up probably won't end the same way....well, at least if none of us drinks too much....I guess you'll have to wait till we post the pictures.
