public transportation here, and that location is ideal for me.

meech,

I think we should just go for it. I'm not sure you're going to get any more responses in this thread than we already have. Without making this official we're not going to get a true response from everyone that's actually going to attend. I think we have enough people to make it worthwhile. The space is good. Parking might be a bit of a problem, but it's just like going to any other event in the city. You gotta pay.

I think we can make this a really good event but if we wait around to get a consensus from everyone as to whether or not they're coming, if it works for them, if they're driving, etc., the date is going to come and go. I'm sort of going on the advice in Tuberoller's thread. It's nice to get the input of everyone but after a while it becomes counterproductive. It's like the field of dreams: build it and they will come. Although, I'd like to hear the opinion of some of the veterans who have organized these before to see if I'm on the right track with this train of thought.

The space isn't that expensive so that if this becomes a total disaster we can't afford to pay. I'm already willing to guarantee that I'll put of $50 towards the venue if we fall short in the donations/raffle. If worse comes to worse I could always up more.

When do you have to give the deposit to secure the room? Is there a cancellation date so that we don't have to pay?

I say let's just go for it!

I totally agree with all of that. I'm leaning towards doing it I just wanted to get one last bit of feedback. As it stands right now, the place is on temporary reservation. If someone else wants the place, they will contact me and then I'll have to either put up or shut up. Hopefully by then we will have the plans set in stone.

I'm in. Let see... this would be my 8th meet.

I love the location and place. I'd be taking the subway.

I'm in also. I'll be taking public transportation from NJ, unless a few people want to carpool in from NJ and split the costs. (Morris County)

Don't know exactly. bozebuttons posted a few weeks ago that Grado's wasn't availbe, so you'll have to ask him. That's why we've been looking at alternate places.

The time and place are great for me as well. I'll be there!

(By the way -- pics of the Qualia mini-meet round 2 are posted. See the Impressions Thread.)

Just a little bumpage so everyone knows this meet is now official. If you're planning on coming please post in the official thread. Those that said they were coming in this thread have already been added to the guest list. Check to make sure your name is there and let us know if your plans have changed.

Generally, we have a spring meet in Bayside and a fall meet in Babylon every November.
Stay tuned. A meet thread will probably be started in late September.
