Not after the mess you left last time you were here!

A September get together is fine with me. There are plenty of bars that rent rooms.

Could you make it the week before since this will conflict with the Jewish high holidays :-( Plus the fact that I'll be in NY the week before :-)

sam shopping in NYC could be the economic stimulus this country needs!

I would like to come but this ist just to near-term for me. If you want to give Europeans a chance to attend you should set up a date several months before. Don't want to stop the September gathering from happening ... however NYC would be the best place in the USA for an intercontinental gathering.
