I was going to start this thread with something really corny like "Intercot takes a bite of the Big Apple" but thought that you all would throw rotten tomatoes my way!

Anyway, we're constantly trying to set up a meet and never quite seem to make it happen. I'd like to suggest Saturday, July 28, or Sunday, July 29, for an Intercot meet. We could have lunch somewhere nearby or even meet for a picnic in Central or Bryant Park, and then maybe visit the World of Disney store. (I'm suggesting these dates because they fit into my chemo schedule well.)

What do you say? Do you think we can finally pull it off? :D

I'll be there. Just tell me when.

I would love to, but am unsure because Ashleigh is unsure if she wants to compete in the Keystone State Games this year. She's done it the past 2 years, but last time was not a great experience. She has to make up her mind soon, so I'll get back to you ASAP!

This sounds like something I would enjoy doing and might very well be able to do. Keep me posted and thanks for the great idea! :mickey:

Now is a good time to bump this thread to the top of the forum.

OK Jared - I will be there. Saturday the 28th yes? Someone said something about the Intercot site might be going down for a while in July? Is there a way we will be able to keep updated about the meet if that happens? I am amenable to whatever Ellen and the group decide to do. My real priority is ensuring I get a chance to visit the Disney store. :mickey:

As I mentioned previously to Jared, I will be in CA the 24th-31st...but would love to attend a future NY event.

Have a great time! :mickey:

I think Central Park would be a great place for the meet. We would have plenty of room, we could each bring our own food, and we could be as loud as we want! Also, it's not far from the Disney Store, so people who drive will not have to move their cars.

However, the only problem is if the weather is uncooperative. If it is 120 degrees with 100% humidity or if it is Hurricane Zelda, it would be good to have a backup indoor site. Something like the food court at Manhattan Mall or a large McDonald's. Just some thoughts.

Here (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=98619&page=11) is the spot where JohnY is talking about the server update.

The site will not be down for an entire month. When John updates the server, the boards will be off-line perhaps for a few days.

I'll talk to Ellen this week, but we'll meet either Saturday, July 28 or Sunday, July 29 in the afternoon.

We always start at the World of Disney store and usually move to have lunch. Ellen and I will keep everyone posted.

right now the plan is to be there, Jared. I may wind up bringing my dad. The only thing that would really stop me from coming is some family event or other event i promised my dad i would attend that i am spacing out on. i should know within the next week or 2 tho

Hello Kids,
I would love to get the chance to meet you all! Either date seems to work for me. I hope that we can pull this off! Thanks for putting it together Ellen & Jared.

Hey everyone! Boy, when was that Intercot meet at Bubba Gump's? That was the last one I was at. I have to figure out my work schedule, and I'll be sure to get back to you when I do. It'll be great seeing you again if I can make it!:mickey:

looks like i am gonna have to miss out on this one. The transmission in my car just went Kaputsky, and i can't afford a trip to the city right now(hopefully it doesn't eat my disney trip in the process). I was really looking forward to it, but i will have to wait til either the next NYC meet or the next NE meet to see everyone again.

Jared

This meet is coming fast, so it's time to start thinking about a final plan. Post any suggestions in the thread soon.

Thanks!

Did we end up confirming the day (Saturday or Sunday) and time? I'm pretty flexible about when and where but would just like to fit in a trip to the Disney store. :mickey:

I just spoke to Ellen. Let's meet at the World of Disney at 12:30 before having lunch at a restaurant. Ellen and I will make some suggestions.

Does anyone care which day we have this event? I am available on Saturday and Sunday. We will just go with the plurality.

Saturday (July 28) is better for me than Sunday. I can't wait!

What restaurant are you considering? And how would we get there from the WOD? The train?

Hi everyone! I know I said I'd get back to you if I could/couldn't make it. Unfortunately, I can't make it. I have plans that I've already RSVPed to and can't turn down. I really hope you have a great time!!:mickey:

Jared
07-16-2007, 08:46 AM
It seems like more people want to meet Saturday, so maybe that's the day we should shoot for. I'll talk to Ellen today and try to hammer out the details.

I will not be able to make it... my DH is going away for the entire weekend and I have to watch the kids. But hopefully I'll see some of you in October!

We'll have to plan another meet maybe sometime in January, when all the holiday madness is past...

Me too ;) Looks like I will be free that weekend and will be taking a three hour drive south for the day! Of course I will need to fit in a trip to Chelsea Market for stock :D

Jeff are you actually going to make it to one of our NYC meets? :blush:

I am sorry you can't come. We will miss you! I am happy you plan to organize another CT meet. We had so much fun. DH and I will be in Orlando the week of January 13th so if at all possible please do not schedule it then. :mickey: PS I'm still on the fence about The October meet.

Going to try for this one depends on the actual time and if I have to watch my Nieces on Saturday. And no I am not dragging 2 two year olds to the city with me.

I almost had to miss this...my friend almost needed to fly me out to Wyoming this upcoming weekend, but she found somebody else who could help her (and who she didn't need to fly in from New York!)

Awwww man. I was looking forward to seeing you again. :(

If you want to come down sometime to go to the Disney Store, let me know. I'll go with you!

Oooh, is it too late to add me to the list? I never remember to look in here! I can make a meet on Saturday. I would bring my sister, but she is leaving on a business trip to Atlanta the next day. Let me know if you have room for me!

Jared
07-26-2007, 10:56 PM
Since someone dropped out, I'm sure we can squeeze you in. ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Christine!

I was looking forward to seeing you again too and all the cool people we met at Rainforest as well as Ellen and other intercottees I have yet to meet.

I have taken on a bunch of special projects that are converging into a series of deadlines. I am supposed to be in the city in August ,
(17,18,19). Will you be at DW then or back teaching? I will pm you and see if we can meet then. :mickey:

Hi everyone!

Thanks for letting me join the party! It was great meeting everyone and hearing some great stories (that I will not repeat, I promise!).

After I left the meet, I went over to Grand Central to catch my train home. I got in one of the middle train cars only to realize about 20 minutes later that there was NO air conditioning whatsoever. I swear it was 90 degrees in that car. By the time I got to Stamford I was officially cooked!

Anyway, I'm home now. Hubby survived a day with our little ones. Let's try and get a meet going in six months or so -- and I should see some of you in October! (Ellen, if you need any help organizing things in Oct let me know, I'd be glad to help)

It was so great seeing all of you tomorrow, making new friends and seeing old ones as well. Even though I was tired by the time I got home (Ben and I ran some pre-school errands when we got back to Brooklyn), I was still smiling!

I'm looking for the cable to transfer the picture to the computer and I'll post it.

We should take Jared up on his offer to start planning our mid-winter meet! :thumbsup:

In the meantime, I'll be looking forward to seeing people in October!

So how'd it go? Anyone have a meet "report" posted? Or pics?

Unfortunately I was unable to attend. I've been home with my brand new baby boy for 3 months, so I just recently started frequenting the boards again from work...I didn't see the post until the day before!!
