Bong and I took LIRR to the last NYC Meet that was in the same place. Round trip is $6 from penn station.

any chance Smyth Reaserch could show? - someone might mention the meet to them:

(at least offer to distribute lit if they can send any)

Smyth discussed near bottom

 

[philodox]

Well, I'm going to be there [somehow!]... and my last name is Smyth... but I don't think that counts.

 

[rudyhf]

Please add my name to the list of participants. All blizzard activity should be history by that point in time.

This coming from an unexpected source: The Chinatown busses take you from Phila to NYC for 10 bucks a pop and drop you off anywhere between Lincoln tunnel and Manhattan bridge, passing Penn station in fairly close proximity. Catch a cab to Penn and take LIRR from there and use the 3$ pickup offered by the hotel from there. Or have a nice head-fier pick you up at the bus stop. Either way, you should be able to get from Phila to the venue for 20 bucks or less.

Oh man, I'd love to hit the Flecktones show on Friday, but it appears to be an 11:30PM performance.

I'm up for night-owl duty. However, the Toots and the Maytals/Soulive show is also tempting. Soulive is amazing live. tons of energy. The Flecktones are pretty amazing as well. Victor Wooten on bass and Jeff Coffin on sax. I guess we should wait to see if there is anyother interest and whether there is agreement on one show over the other. Friday night makes more sense than Saturday as there will be plenty of stuff going on Satuday night, I expect.

I am pretty sure we can convince jp11801 into this.

I could dig the Flecktones show on 4/21.

 

[Lawmanfox]

can't wait anymore

If we got 1-2 more people that would work out better. I would considering staying over night depending how long the drive is.

Biggie.

 

[Drag0n]

Paul...There are 2 different types of money collection and they will both be at the door.
One is for running the meet and supporting Head-Fi which is entirely up to you and...
The second is for a $20 raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the expensive giveaways that you can read about in the first page (and there are many more to come). All raffle tickets after the first $20 ticket are $10 bucks. All money will go towards the meet which is going to cost about $10K (including buffet and panel discussion at the end of the meet)and anything left over will go to Jude and the server costs for 2006/2007 (hopefully).
