organize a 43Things meetup in NYC (or nearby)

but how does March 22, 2007 look? that’s a Thursday.

It was crowded, inspiring, and seriously fun last year.

(Excellent holiday presents at cool prices, made by regular humans!)

Mostly we talked about 43 Things and some of its features that I have yet to explore, the lists for one.

Flying Fader, Mary, and I made it to Max Brenner’s.

or at least, my plan…

I’m going to show up a little before 8:30pm with a small “43things!” sign I’ll put on the table. I have actual pictures of me up in my profile, too. I scouted it out yesterday and it looked like there are a few grab-a-seat tables right in the front. The main room and upstairs looked more like a restaurant, and it might be difficult to keep a tab if we have people drifting in and out. I don’t know where I’ll actually be sitting, but that’s the lay of the land. See you guys then!

So, City Bakery isn’t open after 8pm, and Michael can’t come until 8:30. The other two places [Max Brenner and Michel Cluizel Chocolates in ABC] are open ‘til midnight on Friday. It looks like we’ll have at least four people for this meetup…

So, rollcall time! Can you make it at 8:30pm tomorrow [and if not, give another time that’s good for you…] and which of those two is your favorite? We can always do a hot chocolate crawl if people want, but we do need to start at one place or the other.

I looks like we have five or so takers for hot chocolate in or around Union Square on November 17th sometime after work. People have floated City Bakery, a cafe in ABC Carpet+Home and Max Brenner’s… Anyone else up for it?

What we need is someone to organize a meet up. It would involve:
-Picking a location from the suggestions which have been made
-Sending a message to each of the 13 team members with the location and a few suggested times
-Picking the time which works for the most members
-Announcing it and showing up

Any volunteers?

Anyone see anything good coming up that they’d like to do? Are there any winter or holiday activities that would make a good nucleus for a meet up? Hot chocolate anyone?

...what’s going on with this goal?
