One of the guys who delivers– well, delivered– press cars to my humble abode related his "normal" phone conversation with the PR folk. "I know the guy comes off like an asshole. Talk to him. Meet him. He's a sweetheart." Yes, well, there's a reason I'm in a tiny office on top of a house listening to the sound of strimmers echoing through suburban surrounds, and it's not because I mastered The 48 Laws of Power. Or basic social skills. Still, I can be charming when I need to be. OK, I can shut up for about ten minutes. Just. Now I'm not saying I'm going to venture south for this Big Apple get together with TTAC Road Test Editor Captain Mike and contributor/podcaster Justin Berkowitz. But if I am, I promise not to make a fool of myself– or at least drink enough so I don't remember it. But there's definitely going to be a brace of Bentleys in the barrio for your dining and dancing pleasure. RSVP below. Or just show up. Enjoy!
The details: Thursday, June 26, 7PM to whenever. Peter McManus Cafe (it's a pub, of course) on 152 7th Ave at 19th st. Close to subways: 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, F, V, L Google maps link.
I shall do my best to make it, although it involves some really complicated commuting issues.
Wow. I hate you guys.
Well, I don’t mean it…at least I don’t think I do.
I might stop by. If you see a white 300zx, that’ll be me.
Wish I could make it.
All the way in Miami (hint: future road trip?).
I`d be there with bells on if I had more than two days notice!
Dropping out of work for a couple of days and catching a flight to New York takes more than 48 hours notice for those who don`t conduct regular business in the Tri-State area.
Please consider sending a flare up at least one week in advance before the next time.
Thanks,
Austin Greene
Love to be there, but I have way more New York than I want right here in Palm Beach County…
But since we’re both in the same time zone, I’ll toast the bunch of you…really loadly…right at 7:00.
I’m there.
Why not Boston?
I’ll try to make it.
I demand a get-together in LA! The weather’s infinitely better.
My lovely wife picked me up at Peter McManus’s.
I shit you not.
Hmm, JetBlue from Sacramento to JFK… Can I get a ride from the airport?
Or not. Call me when the meetup’s in California. I look forward to it.
@Bill E. Bobb:
Then the plan is clear. You could suggest you go there for old time’s sake. Then happen to run into the crew.
That’s believable, isn’t it? Alright, it’s not.
@factotum:
Yes, you can have a ride from the airport. In a Bentley.
I would be sorely tempted if I didn’t have a plane out of Logan at 9AM the next morning.
How about Boston next time? Or even RI?
@Romanjetfighter
LA in the winter, when LA has the advantage
I would definitely be there, except that I’m in DC til August.
@ Romanjetfighter,
Stay tuned for more of these, including LA, Dallas, Denver, Miami (maybe). But the LA meetup might occur in August, with Aston Martin… maybe… cross your fingers….
i’m hoping for a future boston meetup. cheers!
How about one in Chicago? It’s centrally located :)
I have some vacation days to burn, but need a few months notice to use them :(
We need a West Coast GTG.
Uh, Can I break the no flame rule if I show up at the Meet-Up, but there is no Meet-Up!
