organize a 43Things meetup in NYC (or nearby)

so if nothing happens by then I’ll take it off my list. Guess I was just too busy cramming the best part ofa masters course and moving away from home to the other side of the world into a year to fit this one in. Good luck to you all in this goal though.

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

My husband, two kids and I are coming to celebrate the New Year in Times Square and I am SO excited! I’m going to meet a friend I made
while playing the AOL online game GoldRush while we are there. I’m just getting started on my list but I have always sort of done something like it, on my own, my whole life. I think it is the best thing a person can do!

Anyone planning on doing this again? I missed the last one. How about something in the near future?

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?
