Hello all,

Im trying to arrange for people to meet up a day before the workshop starts. I, and a few of the other foreign attendees, plan to arrive the day before it starts and thought it would be good to have some drinks and meet up. Is anyone gonna be around New York the day before? Does anyone recommend a hotel for us foreigners to crash in? I have no idea of where to meet so il leave it to the attendees who live in New York to decide.
let me know what you think..

Gareth

Hi Gareth,
I live in NY and will be in he city before the workshop... I suggest the East Village for a drink. Let's get in touch in the coming weeks to fine tune...
Myriam

I will also be in NYC with another Barnstorm attendee. It would be great to meet up.

Brenda

I'll be in NYC on the 4th as well. I would love to meet up.

--Beth

That's a great idea. I'll be in NY on the 4th. let's get in touch soon.

Carlos

Yes, me too!

Hi, I'm new here.
I'm going to be around a few days earlier – let me know what's up!

Ok, sounds good. I have been looking at hotels in New york to stay for the night of the 4th. Does anyone olse have a booking arranged? where you all staying?

Hey Gareth, lets definitely meet up. You can always check for hostels in the area. I found a number of them for like $30-40 a night. We should plan a specific place and time sometime soon.

I would be interested as well.

I'll be kicking around the city as well and would love to hook up.

me too! i'm arriving kinda late on the 4th though but i'll try to follow! see you all soon!

hey, sounds good. someone should post where we should meet up thursday night on this thread come thursday night. i only say this because it seems like the best way to actually reach people.

i will be in early, too with kim raff.

hi guys + girls,

i as well will be in the city on the 4th. count me in for drinks! anywhere on the lower-anything-side of manhattan sounds like a grand idea.

yana

Cool, I'm in too.
I'm arriving to NY on the 1st

Hi all

Me too. Me too.

I'm in, too...

I'm rolling into town on the 4th as well. Is anyone staying in Brooklyn?

Did someone say drinks?

Oh Yeah!!!! I am definitely IN!!!! Hey Grant, see you at the bar and you better have a beer waiting for me! I made it all the way from Cali to Ohio so far! Never going back to Ventucky! Drove 2500 miles till now! Long-ass trip, man... Still got all the way to Miami after the Workshop.... phew!

Hey! Who will be rocking PINK with me!?! (Man, I hate that color!)

;)

Hey! The East Village has many many fun bars, we just need a place that would be spacious enough for all of us!!!!
Let me think of a cool spot and post the directions...
Liam, I am staying in Brooklyn......

I suggest we meet on the 4th evening at Mama's bar on 34 Ave. B at 3rd St.
The closest train is 2nd av. on the F and/or V train.
Mama's food shop is just next door so hungry people can eat too!
Let me know if that works for you...
See you soon!
Myriam

Sounds good to me. Il be arriving in NY around 16.20 at JFK so prob be over the bar by 7 i would hope. Is it anywhere near the ICP? I am meeting bess greenberg there before meeting you guys.. look forward to the drinks flowing hahaha..

not very close but a few stop away on the same train line... ICP is on 42nd street...

I too would like to meet up. I fly in around 7:00. So is Mama's the place to meet then? Gareth is it OK to call/text you Thursday evening to get an update?

No probs Ivan, Text me would be the best, ( and cheapest ) Anyone arriving at the JFK around 16.20 on thursday? Il be there if anyone want to share a taxi or something..

Myriam, thanks for thinking of a place for all of us to meet. See you soon!

My pleasure Beth!! I will try to be at the bar by 7 or 8 pm...
See you tomorrow!
