7ish. I'll probably get there at 7:20, and people will still be there for a good long while after that.

I'll probably be early again, sitting in the back on my lonesome, writin' stuff on my laptop. Assuming I can make it.
(and will similarly be leaving early; suck it, haters—come to the upper Manhattan meetup if you want more QT with YT)

I have officially placed this Meet-up on my Google Calendar.
Which raises my chances of making this to about...20, 30, 34, no, no, 37%.
This is huge, people. HUGE.
(I will know better tomorrow, if the Gods will be on my side...)

I met Skygazer once. Several months ago. When I was drunk. So there you go.

Amateurs. I saw Skygazer drinking a pina colada down at Trader Vic's.
His hair was perfect.

Would you look at that list of yeses and maybes! This could be the biggest meetup in a while! We could start a company softball team with these kinds of numbers!

Can the place even accommodate that many people? (Assuming we have it inside-- it's calling for rain tomorrow, and I really hate their picnic benches.)

Yes, it can accommodate that many people! It is an awesome place! We can always have an inside group and an outside group! We are a brilliant and flexible people!

If I don't, well, you'll either see lots more of me or lots less. =\

AHHHHHHH SKYGAZER'S COMING
But a more serious question: are there any dining establishments near the 4th Ave Pub? My memory from last time is hazy and the new Yelp app update is being weird.

bookwibble, there's a deli across the street that makes sandwiches and has organic-y food. But yeah, not a whole lot of options.

Bookwibble, there's a decent pizza place across the street from the pub, Chinese takeout nearby (standard quality for fast food Chinese takeout), a fried chicken Halal place and another Halal deli/shop of some sort that I haven't tried yet.

I had a dream about a cat last night. It was on an old Victorian house getting swept away by a flood, but it was like a boat and the cat was the captain of the boat.
It was a nice cat.
Will be ready to discuss it more at meet-up!! Bring cat dream stories!!

OK, I'm coming. Skygazer sealed the deal. I'm leaving now, so I'll probably be there around 6:30. And I'm leaving at 8. I needs my sleep.

I am glad I got to see Skygazer on my way to the subway. He is the only one I wanted to see!
Honestly, though, I hope I get to see all of you at another meetup (or multiple meetups) where I get a chance to talk to many more of you at length. I like getting to know people and their stories!
