"Summer in the City" blogger party
With summer almost over, I thought it was about time to have one of those world-famous blogger parties. This is that initial post to gauge interest and enthusiasm, as well as learn which dates work best for the great majority of bloggers. Please use the comment section to express a preference so I can have all the information in one convenient location.
There are only 2 weekends left in August--either this upcoming weekend, August 18th or 19th or the following one, August 25th and 26th. I actually prefer the 19th but I'm fairly flexible. It wouldn't be unheard of to have the party sometime in September, either.
So, do let me know your preferences and I'll do my best to accomodate them.

Sounds like fun. I'm pretty flexible. So whatever works for you all.
Posted by: Zelda at August 13, 2006 04:22 PMI believe Patterico will be in town the 26th.
Posted by: ace at August 13, 2006 04:36 PMWe could incorporate my birthday party into it.
Except that I won't be there. That'd make it weird, I guess.
Posted by: Allah at August 13, 2006 05:42 PMi heart parties that aren't held in indian bordellos. i actually kind of like those parties too.
Posted by: E.E. Grimshaw at August 13, 2006 06:03 PMI'd prefer this weekend. But how about an August 22 "Hidden Imam (Not)" do?
Posted by: JSU at August 13, 2006 06:03 PMAllah--I would tell you that you suck but I feel like you'd enjoy that.

Hetero.

My confidence that social isolation is in my best interest is unwavering.
Posted by: Allah at August 13, 2006 06:41 PMI think either weekend will work as long as it's Sat night. Or in walking distance of my apartment. So yeah, I'm interested.
Posted by: Esther Kustanowitz at August 13, 2006 06:52 PMLet's shoot for the 19th. I have to see "Snakes on a Plane" on the 18th.
Posted by: Dorian Davis at August 13, 2006 07:31 PMYikes, I got a lot going on in August. I'd love to be there, though. May just have to play it by ear...
Posted by: Mary Katharine at August 13, 2006 09:25 PMDoing the NYC half marathon on August 26, so I vote for 8/25 - higher degree of difficulty = big style points. :)

Posted by: at August 14, 2006 08:59 AMDoes it have to be in the UES?
Posted by: ccs178 (Chris) at August 14, 2006 09:16 AMI will come, but only if I get to be Allah's birthday surrogate. So that I will accept all birthday gifts, drinks and wishes on Allah's behalf.
Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at August 14, 2006 12:51 PMLet it be so.
Posted by: Allah at August 14, 2006 01:34 PMFisch:
You're going to buy ALLAH a drink? Why not order him a ham sandwich, while you're at it.
Posted by: Joe Grossberg at August 14, 2006 02:49 PMWell, since he'll be buying me a drink, it's ok. I also like ham sandwich's. On Allah's behalf of course.
Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at August 14, 2006 03:22 PMA friend is coming into town this weekend from Montreal, who is on my NYC Liberal Hawk email list, she would love to meet people. We are going to do Shabbat things on Friday so I hope the party is Saturday.
(But if it's Friday, maybe we can make a Shabbat dinner with Esther.)
Posted by: Judith at August 14, 2006 04:14 PMthought i wrote! am still homeless so august probably won't happen for me, but i do hope to come see you soon!
xo
Posted by: candy girl at August 15, 2006 12:36 AMMy birthday is the weekend of the 26th but any other weekend is great....can't wait to see you all again sometime soon, and hopefully I'll be able to get that superstar Candy Girl to tag along with me.
