Have you got old and useless junk that not even HAX can make useful again, just taking up space? Here’s a chance to free up that space for new and useful junk.
This Saturday, January 16, the Lower East Side Ecology Center and Tekserve are throwing another of their e-waste recycling events. Bring your old computers, printers, monitors, TVs, and other unwanted electronics to Tekserve on West 23rd St (between 6th and 7th aves) for recycling. In addition to the generally warm and fuzzy feeling associated with recycling in public, every participant gets a $25 coupon and a chance to win a new MacBook Air.
See Tekserve’s page about the event for details, and the full list of acceptable recyclables.

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!
