Th Nov. 1: Visit the new Greek/Roman galleries at the Met with la_directora. Maybe go to the Cloisters first, though it's a loooong haul by bus. :|
Fr Nov. 2: Con starts. Tony Amendola and STEVE BACIC. Yum!
Sa Nov. 3: DON DAVIS, Paul McGillon, and Jay Acovone.
Su Nov. 4: MICHAEL SHANKS, CLIFF SIMON, and Kate Hewlett. Play in NYC with selmak, janiekins, & triciabyrne1978?
Mo Nov. 5: Fly home and collapse.

I'll have to dig out my Don Davis paraphernalia from selmak and send off my camera for cleaning/service toot-sweet.

My plane tickets cost me $5 since I cashed in a wad of frequent flyer miles. Quite the savings over the nearly $400 it was going to cost otherwise. :)

Oh, my god, you frickin' ROCK. When I clicked the link to see the details, I held my breath..."Please let her be available the two days I'm available while she's here...please let her be available the two days I'm available while she's here..." (I return from Chicago Tuesday, October 30th, and fly out to Austin Friday, November 2nd.) And you picked THOSE EXACT TWO DAYS to be in NYC!!! You rock!!!

And, yeah, that means I may just have to brave going to the Halloween parade with you. Either way, I'm with ya on Thursday for the museum stuff. :)

YAY! How the hell did we manage that? I thought for sure we were going to do the "ships that pass int he night" thing. :|

Very cool. I'd love the company at the Halloween parade, though I completely understand if you'd rather celebrate Samhain. If I'm going to have company, I might be convinced to peel myself out of bed early the next morning so that we can hit the Cloisters and then make the endless bus trip from Hell to the Met to ogle at the galleries. :) I wonder how far along they are with the new Egyptian galleries. If those are ready, I'd be hard pressed to choose what to do.

By the by, what is this horrible bus ride from the Cloisters to the Met of which you speak? It's so easy...A train to one of the cross town busses near the Met. 30 minutes tops? Stick with me, kid, and we'll get you around town better. :)

Oh? I wonder why jalabert, mcroft, and immlass, and I took the endless, endless bus ride? I probably made noises about wanting to see some of Manhattan between the Cloisters and the Met. If that's reason, they deserve angel wings for agreeing to my screwball plan. 30 minutes beats the snot out of a 1.5 or 2 hour bus ride. :|
