Important note!
The first Friday of next month just so happens to fall upon January 1st, 2010; New Year’s Day. (For those of you keeping score, it’s been 11 years since the last time this happened, and it won’t happen again for another six.)
Of course, we don’t expect people to give up their New Year’s Day festivities and/or recuperation to come to the 2600 meeting. That being the case, we’ll be doing something extremely rare in the grand scheme of 2600 meetings. The official date for the meeting is being pushed forward a week, to the second Friday in January.
So, come out and enjoy the first 2600 meeting of the 2010s on Friday, January 8! Mark your calendars! Tell your friends! Update your tattoos!
And of course, we at NYC2600.net wish all of you and yours a wonderful holiday season, and a very happy and safe New Year.
We’ll see you in The Future!

A bunch of us worked out our plan of attack over IMs. We’re going to start gathering in front of the entrance to the Hotel Pennsylvania at around 3. We’ll hang out there and wait for more of us until around 4:30, when we’ll grab a C/E to Spring St, and meet the rest of us by the line-up area. Where is unforeseeable; they block off the zone in weird and different ways every year, so we’ll have to find a place and wing it. I’ll have my phone on me and will be trying to corral folks via calls and texts, so if I don’t have your info and you would like me to, get in touch!
There are more details in a mass BCC’d email I just sent out to everyone I know of who expressed interest in going. If you want to join up and you haven’t yet gotten an email from me, get in touch and I’ll forward it on to you!
Also: yay!

Want to see something scary?
This Saturday, you are cordially invited to join us for our traditional tomfoolery in the Village Halloween Parade. A bunch of us participate every year, and it never fails to be lots of fun!
The parade is of course the main Halloween celebration in New York – and many say the entire country, if not the entire world. Starting at Sixth Street and Broome Avenue, the parade marches uptown all the way to 21st street. Anyone in costume is welcome to march in the parade, and your fellow paraders will be all over the spectrum from the quickest face-paint job or dollar-store mask to creations so elaborate your head will spin. For more info, check out the event’s Wikipedia article and official site.
Many NYC2600 folks, including this editor, occasionally or regularly participate in the parade. In years past, many of us have managed to gather before the parade, dig each other’s costumery, perform at the event together, and hang out afterward on the one truly wild event of this scale our town has left.
The plans can be finalized via this post in our Livejournal forum. (A Livejournal account isn’t required to post comments, anonymous comments are enabled. An OpenID will also work.) You can use those comment threads to discuss meeting up, or contact me privately and I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.
Regulars, newbies, and complete strangers alike are all more than welcome to join us! Get in touch.
