Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 09:33 am     Ok, I've never actually started a conversation here before and I hope that this is right. Reiki and I will be in NYC Dec. 19 and 20th during Hanukah, and I know that Yankee-in-Ca will be there too! Reiki and I are planning on seeing some Broadway shows. Care to join us for lunch or sight seeing? I am also returning to NYC on Christmas Day, the 25th and leaving on Saturday the 27th. I will probably go to church at St. Thomas in the morning and see an organist friend on Christmas Day. Hopefully seeing some shows again and doing some bargain shopping. I would LOVE to meet with some other TVCHers during this trip. The only big holiday I'm missing in NYC is New Year's eve in Times Square. I'll be in Central Illinois with the family watching it on TV, but please post here if you will be there! START.....spreading the news....I'm leavin' today... New York! New York! |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 11:24 am     Marm, I have to play it by ear, I have been working dog hours in my job and in my sister's job. But, if I can, I would love to see you both on Friday night. Let me know where you will be, or what your plans are. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 11:28 am     Ginger, I'm guessing that Reiki and I will be at a show at 8pm Friday and at 2 or 3 pm on Saturday. Other than standing in the TKTS or box office lines for tickets we are wide open! Don't you have family over for the holidays? I would love to see you (and even eat some Hanukkah leftovers....)! The week of Christmas, I am wide open! Hey is FAO Swartz still having a going out of business sale???? |
Yankee_In_Ca | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 11:36 am     I'd like to meet you guys for coffee mid-afternoon on Friday the 19th. Email me! |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 12:03 pm     Let's plan on it Yankee!!! WHOO HOO, I'm getting pumped for this trip! I can't wait to see all the decorations and eat some international cuisine! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 12:05 pm     And pictures. Don't forget the pictures! |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 12:50 pm     Can't we do an early dinner or something instead? I am working till at least 4 or 5. Marm, let me know what show, maybe I will go with you, if you are going to the tkts booth. Marm, I don't do a big thing for Hanukkah. I am not super religious. The holidays that we cook big stuff for is in Rosh Hashanah and Passover. But, we can go to a Kosher Deli, and you can get anything that you want. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Oooo....Ginger....I'd love to dine with you on Friday! AND do a show. I am hoping for Wicked, but might have to do lottery or SRO tickets. I'm game for almost anything, but I don't know about Reiki. An early dinner in the Times Square area sounds good to me. |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 02:24 pm     Are you going to look for the Naked Cowboy? |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 02:34 pm     Hmmm...hadn't thought about that, but have considered going to "Naked Boys Singing" (or is it dancing?)! Care to join us? I'd love to see you again! |
Hippyt | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Ya'll are going to that? OMG,I can't wait to hear about it! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 03:16 pm     Oh, and don't forget the pictures. |
Reiki | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 03:49 pm     Ocean, ditto what Marm says. Who needs the Naked Cowboy when we can have Superman. Marm, I am up for anything. Wicked would be great, but I am willing to take what we can get. Naked Boys Singing may be fun . I've seen The Producers with Matthew and Nathan. When do they come back? You should see it with them if you can. Wonderful Town is supposed to be wonderful. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Producers with Matthew and Nathan is sold out for the whole run (Jan-April 4 when it closes)...I'll see The Producers at Christmas time. I think that Caberet and Urinetown are closing in January. I'm up for Standing room for Wicked OR the lottery tix. We might consider going down to the downtown TKTS office because it opens sooner and we could get both Friday night AND Saturday matinee at the same time. Or maybe not. I'm taking suggestions for dinner/lunch places. So far I've not had a bad meal in NYC, and I would like to keep it that way! Oh, and Ocean, how about "Naked Superman Singing"? I bet people would pay money for that! <marm ducks and runs!> |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 04:55 pm     And don't forget the pictures. |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Go to 'Wicked' -- it's great. I'm out of town from 12/19 to 1/2/04! I hope you all have a great time ... can you manage without me? |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 06:14 pm     Oh, we'll manage, but it won't be as much fun. I'll need your advice about "things Boston" for when I go in February. OK, I'm up for lottery tickets for Wicked OR standing room. It will probably mess up dinner if we do it on Friday, since you have to be there at 5:30 and they draw the names at 6. OR we could do this on Saturday. I'm a BIG TIME wizard of Oz buff. Weiner....digital camera is already packed, since it didn't get UNpacked from Thanksgiving! |

He was just in my local newspaper!!! They had a piece about the NE storm and said it didn't slow the Naked Cowboy down. |
Reiki | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 07:19 pm     We will miss you Ocean, but another time - if not in New York, in Chicago. I will also have my camera packed and will take a cabillion pictures. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Urinetown Naked Cowboy Naked Boys Singing/Dancing Wicked ???? And they say we in California are immoral? Weiner..do think they should take pictures? |
Twinkie | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 01:54 am     OI, apparently I'm the only one gutsy enough to play with the naked cowboy! LOL |
Reiki | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:25 am     I was really bummed yesterday, because even thought I've been saying for weeks that I won't be in on the 19th, the bosses have picked that day for our annual holiday luncheon. Their loss. I will be much happier lunching with Marm. Meeting Yankee. Seeing Ginger. And all the other wonderful things I will be doing in NYC while they are making merry. At this point Marm the only thing that is worrying me is the weather. We are supposed to be getting more s--- next Thursday. I will listen to the weather and judge what time I should leave from there on Thursday afternoon. I worry about you driving in from PA though. Also, email me with hotel details. Is it in your name? Will I be able to check in when I get there? If not is there a consierge to leave my luggage with? Can't wait. Can't wait!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:30 am     Oh, Reiki -- I hope it doesn't snow on Thursday -- since that's the day I'm flying in from the west coast!!! I emailed you with some more details about where I'm staying, etc. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and Schoolmarm -- this will be my very first TVCH "real-world" meeting! Yankee |
Weinermr | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 12:15 pm     Have fun! And don't forget the pictures! (Thanks Marm!) |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 02:22 am     Reiki....HA HA HA HA....remember I'm the QUEEN of budget traveling. You will be able to check in when you get there. NO concierge, but they have lockers for a dollar, just like in a youth hostel. In fact, you might want to think youth hostel or you will be horrified as to where we are staying. BUT the price is right at $75 per night. Remember, bathroom down the hall. I think that spy was horrified at my room this summer, but it was just fine for crashing at night. There is internet access at a pay station in the lobby, and parking across the street. Times Square vistors center is just around the corner and there is a subway stop at the corner, so you would only have to walk a half a block with your luggage. Do you want to get up early and hang out at the Early Show again? At least the weather guy is going out on the plaza now. That might be a good way to start off on Friday! I'm SO excited to meet Yankee and to see Ginger again! My email is in my profile. Please put TVCH in the subject line so you don't get auto-filed in the "junk mail" folder! |
