Hey. New board.

I have no pimping to add to Boston other than, when I was there last week, it was very pretty. And the North End has very, very good Italian food.

New York, on the other hand, well, here are some reasons off the top of my head:

1) The Museum of Modern Art, my favoritest place ever
2) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, my dad's favoritest place ever
3) The Museum of Natural History, my brother's favoritest place ever
4) About a trillion other museums, most of which I haven't checked out, but are supposed to be cool
5) Broadway
5) Off-Broadway
7) Off-off Broadway
8) If you the date is late enough, Shakespeare in the Park
9) The Park, including The CP Zoo
10) Other parks
11) Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
12) Bronx Botanical Gardens
13) World-class nightlife
14) I went to this restaurant one time that had a Scotch menu with over 100 types of Scotch
15) People-watching!
16) I hear you can shop here
17) You might see a celebrity
18) Good food of every type (though Boston does beat NYC for seafood, on the whole)
19) Talented street performers
20) It's NYC!

Okay, that's all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I hear you can shop here

Dirty liar. There is no shopping in New York.

The status is NOT quo.

Just a feeble reminder (echoing Sean) that we'd talked about deciding on the date before we make the vote on the location.

Side note: We adore Holiday Inn Express. Awesome value, great linens (yes, this matters to me because I am a pretty pretty Princess), free internet and breakfast, and coffee and free cookies and milk in the lobby!

I think that would be a good idea too.

Okay. Let's do that. I'll set up a poll.

You really should be wearing your flashing tiara hat while you do this, you know. It's only right and fair.

Or not - I have no Mr Poll account. Jessica, can you set up a poll for me? Here are the dates:

May 18-20
June 1-3
June 8-10
June 15-17
June 22-24

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just a feeble reminder (echoing Sean) that we'd talked about deciding on the date before we make the vote on the location.

Wait, isn't that what we generally do? I thought the radical new suggestion was to pick place then date?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Wait, isn't that what we generally do? I thought the radical new suggestion was to pick place then date?

No, no, no. The radical new suggestion was to pick a llama and then do the hustle.

We've chosen place first in past years so that people could base their date decision on plane fares. But, whatever. We can do it this way.

Also, Victor. There will be no llamas. If I'm doing this, it's camels.
