Additionally, there is an optional post-meeting dinner at a neighborhood restaurant.

Nightscream (
talk) 03:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC) Since it's been so long since I've been able to go to a MeetUp, this may be one I might be able to go to, if I don't have a lot of work to do. UPDATE: I have a book signing I want to photograph near Grand Central at 2pm, so I'll try to scoot over to the Meetup right after I get all the pics I want.reply
If I'm in the country. (I may be in England on a trip; I'll know by the end of the week.)

Wow, has it been two months already? If I can figure out how to dispose of my dog for the day, I should be able to make it.

DanTD (
