Sorry! It wasn't until late in the planning stages that I'd realized you were on my route, and since it was a path we hadn't driven before we weren't sure exactly when we'd be through. Ended up being there at 10 am on a weekday, so it prolly wouldn't have worked out anyway. Still, sorry we missed you.
No worries Liese, that time of day I would have been in Arkansas buried under a pile of work that I couldn't ask off from. But everyone on the board has a standing invite from me if they're in the city in the late evening or on a weekend, I'd be happy to act as tour guide or offer the hospitality of one of the local clubs/restaurants as proxy for my foodless kitchen.
Are any NYC folks going to go get crushed by the mob of peoplewatch the big apple drop in Times Square?
Not in person -- been there, done that, got trampled by the drunken masses. (Plus, if you want a really good view, you have to camp out at least a day in advance. I'm all about the watching it on TV from my living room.)
Vegas or Little Vegas sounds like oodles of fun, but I've already overspent my travel budget for the year, so unless a winning lottery ticket falls into my lap, I'll be at home with DH, a bottle of prosecco, and the best we can afford from Caviarteria.
Might consider Laughlin: [link] They have casinos, AND glow-in-the-dark bowling.
burning love suite -- DH would die, but I would find it too funny for words.

Nope. I'm probably going to be in NY then, but crowds that size really aren't my thing. Plus, it's cold. I'll be somewhere inside.
It's an Elvis theme boutique hotel located across from Graceland, so only those with a very high kitsch tolerance should consider it.
you have to stay there just to take pictures. and the inevitable stories of crossing paths with those who take it seriously.
Having survived Thanksgiving, I can now start to think about Deborah's visit to Boston. FAQ Wife & I would be happy to host a little Buffista gathering on Saturday night, post-dinner.
Deborah -- does this fit in with your schedule? Also, I think I still need your arriving flight details.
Great, Jon, I was just about to email you about this!
Now, I *think* that Kate's Mystery Books is having their Xmas party on Saturday (and Deb's reading is on Friday) so I don't know about the timing of that will be. I wonder if an afternoon open house thing might be more in line with the schedule. But will wait for Deb to confirm times and stuff.
Tom and I would be more than happy to help with planning and logistics any way we can.
Thanks Nora. I'm going to be busy performing at the Bazaar Bizarre all day Sunday, so the Buffista gathering has got to be on the Saturday.
yeah, I was thinking Saturday, as opposed to Sunday as well...
