I vote for Manhattan. Convenient because all roads lead there. And many of us could just take the train in instead of wasting gas and driving.

Plus...you know all the fun places we could hit up! Can't find that anywhere else!

True, but driving into the city and finding parking is always annoying. .

That is why I suggested some place right next to a train station:)

But if everyone votes for Manhatten . . but lets start narrowing it down . . . cause we'll need time to make arrangements . . .

You know PA people could come also? I wonder if they check the thread . . .

Equeen, can you rename the Thread: Northeast GC meeting? or something. People from Pa are not even accessing the thread it seems, but they are pretty close to us:)

ok the weekend is one day away and i have no plans and my best friend is going out of town...

anyone want to hit up the city saturday night? i'm serious! i know it's short notice but it could happen!

oh, and James, whatever is most convenient for everyone is what we'll do. what train do you take? wouldn't one go right into Penn station or grand central?

and matthewg...i really hope you can make it. you are definitely on my "want to meet " list!

I am down near Atlantic City .. . . unless you wanted to come here and gamble.. I would probably drive up to wherever . . . .


NYC is about 2.5 hours. Philadelphia about an hour. Any place over 2 or so hours away and I would probably get a hotel room for the night. That way I can sample some spirirts while hanging out:)

For me it would definitely have to be an overnight stay. It's a 4 1/2 hr. drive.
I know a cheap hostel in NYC on 45th reight next to Times Square (4 bed dorm rooms, 33 bucks/pers.). The only thing as James says is: Parking in the City sucks.
You NJ people, were would be a good park and ride station??

It would be so cool to meet you all guys!

I'd come if it wasn't horribly far. I mean, being in Philly is close, but I'd rather drive than take the train. But if you all are going to do Manhattan, I guess the train it is :) Let me know when you decide. The 2nd and 16th are out for me, as I have plans those weekends.

I don't know guys, The City is such a place of temptation and sin, I wouldn't be able to hang with you guys, I would be too overcome by my passionate need to wallow in decadence and debauchery. I might not be found for DAYS!

Also, ouside the city we could get a suite in a Hilton or something for only slightly more money:) But hey I am up for anything . . I just feel kind of helpless without my car.:)

What about Saturday 23rd February.
I cannot on either the 2nd (wild Jacuzzi Party with friends - want to come?) or the 16th (grad student recruitment weekend in our department).

James outside the city is fine with me, too

You guys decide and I only hope I can make it

How about FEbruary 9 th everyone? ITs like 17 days away. The 2nd is too soon. And I don't have the attention span to be interested in meeting anyone after that . . lol.

So far that meets the people's requirements that have said something.

OK - now the WHERE?

My birthday is Feb. 13th! Heather come. I want to meet my D Phi E sister!

Does that mean we all should bring you presents Cream?;)

okay, this thread doesn't necessarily pertain to me because currently i'm not living in the area(ya'll should wait til september, dammit :)

but as for park&ride..you can always meet in hoboken and take the path into the city..just a suggestion :)
