Given what the weather is like at this time of year, meeting or
congregating at the duck pond is not always a good proposition; it
can get mighty cold (as Paul and I found out last winter).
On the other hand, we could meet at a well-known spot that is decent
and affordable; I'm thinking of the restaurant called Dojo (a/k/a
Dojo West) that is on West 4th St. and Mercer St., one block from the
big Broadway Tower records. If we agreed on a date and time and
number of people, I can probably arrange to have a large chunk of
tables cordoned off for us -- however many of "us" there are.
And, ironically, it would put us literally across the street from
where this mailing list now lives. That's not why I suggest it,
though; it's because it's cheap, it serves beer and curious drinks,
and it accommodates both vegetarians and non-.
So, that's my suggestion. I would not mind during the week between
Xmas and New Year's, but early in January is certainly fine too.
