Quote:Not sure if people knew it, but lunch cost Vinnie $1600, yes, that's $1600 ($25 per head). In the old days I wouldn't have minded paying $25 for head but I got married, which cost me a hell of a lot more. The hotel charged as if each sandwich was "room service". Vinnie's the type of philanthropic person that would never speak of the cost, but I feel that people need to know what he did for us.
Is that how much he paid?! That was more than generous of him.
Quote:Thanks to all those who shared their electrons with everyone and Erik, Vinnie and Yikes for all of the reasons previously stated. This is a wonderful group of people who know how to have a good time.
It might not have been as much fun as the "Cat Writing Expo" going on next store, but it came pretty darn close
Is that what was next door? I kept seeing author or writer on their badges and was curious what it was about. I know the other group were a group of Japanese tourists visiting NYC to watch some shows and were staying at the hotel to save on costs.
Yes, I talked briefly to Bill, who bought several items at our auction, including the game controllers I donated (which he bought for grandkids). He said he was a technical writer and had been a speaker at the meeting next door. He said our gathering was a LOT more fun than theirs, so he stayed!
