NYC Meet Feb 4-5 2017

[cetoole]

I could be talked into flying in for this.

[Voltron]

I am exploring the idea as well.

[Grahame]

Travel Team, Assemble?

[tkam]

I've never been to NYC before seems like this could be a good reason for a first visit...

Ohhhhh, SNAP.

[morphsci]

Since I-95 is always the height of traveling pleasure, I may just cruise on up.

[Hopstretch]

Hmmm.

* checks airmiles *

[jp11801]

if even half those that express interest this could be an epic meeting of the travel team!

[Hopstretch]

I'm cleared for the weekend. Going to book tickets. Don't all drop out now!

[Aura]

Less than 50/50 odds I can make this but I started the conversation with the Mrs. We've been needing to visit friends in Rochester so maybe I can fit a city weekend visit in.

[Voltron]

Claire insists that I go, even if Stretch is there. I'm in.

[Hopstretch]

I agreed to chaperone. It put her mind at ease.

[MexicanDragon]

I have a mandatory training at work that spans this long weekend. It took 4 revisions of a timeline to get the trainer and two supervisors to agree that me going to NYC is more important than some silly job. Now, on to the next obstacle.

Are we actually going to attend CanJam at all?  Deciding if I need to get a ticket or not (naturally I'd rather not).

There's a CanJam that weekend?

I have to choose between a this and a 3 day knife forging class.

Baker, please. You have been out of action on the travel team for far too long. Raffy will sherpa your bags and brews.

If I can get rid of the crappy Red Oxx travel bag I have left and get some proper Tom Bihn travelling gear, I will consider it.

[n_maher]

Holy shit, this is coming together. I'm seeking permission to at least cannonball run this event and do a down and back. 

[TMoney]

You guys open to having a travel team newbie come along?

[swt61]

Always!

[Dusty Chalk]

Fuck, yeah!

[jp11801]

Wow this looks like it is really coming together!! I would expect that at least I would spend part of a day at CanJam. I lost a my 13s a few weeks back and likely will just go JH13 but really wanted to explore all options. 

I know a stop at Other Half brewing will be in order, it is right off the subway although it is not s short subway ride. Kings County Brewing Collective is another great new stop (had their beer but not been to the Bushwick brewery). Other Half's tasting room is tiny so getting there early in key!

Clearly!!!  Since I don't drink any more I can be even more active in inventing new stuff for you to drink and "encouraging" more drinking.   

Next thing you know he'll tell us he's doing Pilates.

Fucking Nouveau Vikings!

I'll try my best to make it, but can't make any promises because something always seems to come up last minute.

If I'm actually in town that weekend, and someone really needs a place to crash and doesn't mind sleeping on something not much better than the floor, then hit me up.

But I was planning on getting you drunk and...
