Good work!!!! But please consult Doug and Oldkr...........this must be a combined with the beautiful Shidoobees...Also, are the Euro board people coming??? Is ther enough room? Are there 2 mens rooms?
First of all..why do YOU care? You aren't joining us.
Doug is set at Walter's.....which I am told is a block or two away.
IORR is at Mustang Harry's according to Gazza.
So between the RO/Couchie Party, the Shidoobee Party and the IORR party....we are all close and can party hop.

Seriously, I advise against a cover..I know it's only $15 bucks, but you will be surprised how many are turned off by that..just have a bar where people can buy what they want..That's my opinion and I am very serious..the cheapness of some is appalling....... |

Domestic Beer and complimentary peanuts are always a crowd pleaser. (remember my father was drinking Budweiser in Memphis to wash down the Burritos!) You bought me a Bud Light, and I thank you, but I then began to purchase Newcastle! |

My legwork is very preliminary as I have little to no time to devout to this venture (see LJ's parents are in very rough shape).
I am just trying to secure some space JUST for us.

You were just flying in to greet? You are much loved...why can't your Rocks-Off sistahs get you a ticket..........they must come through or be thought of as failures. Pud=g is a failure as he refuses to fly in to Boston or Chicago even though wife is dong fine....you should reject his friendship...he has let you down. I will be there and greet you somwehere near venue.......maybe Hotel Lobby off Penn.. |

me an my buddy are arriving at 1630h on the 18th and leaving 22nd eve.
so far got tickets for the 20th.
would in principal be interested in the 18th as well
but no idea if i arrive on time or if i can get tickets...
does anyone know how long it takes to get from jfk to
the time square (incl number of stabwounds), and at what time the gig starts?
other than that, just point us to the right bar! |

Oh No! I am not flying in. Are you kiddin'? My husband lost his job in August and we have no money whatsoever...I mean NONE. Zero.. Zip!
We are driving from OH or we can't make it at all. I am asking people we know along the route if we can crash at their pads so we can make the trek in with as little expense as possible.
Accordingly, I never had the plan to see either show although if things break (Chris is offered the job he interviewd for 9+ weeks ago in NYC) we will get tickets at the last minute. It will really suck not to see the Stones, but it's worth it. I feel I have to meet you and the rest of the Summit crew.
As it stands now we must meet outside of the venue.
Don't you have a Penthouse overlooking Central Park for us to stay at while we meet and greet?
No Martha, No jb!

allow an hour in the traffic at that time of day..unlikely to be any more than that. Quicker by subway though, if you know what youre doing and have planned your route out. The customs will probably take anything from 30 mins to an hour to clear. JFK is a bit of a bollocks to get out of in that respect (strangely enough, despite all the post 9/11 supposed tightening of security, the only time I've been since (2002) was the least chaotic of all of my trips when it comes to customs. Others might tell you different, though)
Times Square is about 10 blocks uptown from MSG. Not that I want to tempt fate but aside from the prospect of metting certain people from this board, I've never found Manhattan in any way threatening in the 3 times I've been there.
I would imagine the Stones should be onstage by 9 o'clock or so, although I guess those who were at the shows earlier on this tour could tell you better |

Egon, NYC has never been safer but it's still wise to watch yourself in any big city. There's a train service that I've been told is good that takes about an hour or less to go from JFK-->>Times Square. A cab ride is a fixed price of $35 or so plus tip of $5 or more. Time on that depends on traffic but I'd recommend the train instead as the roads around JFK get crowded at about 3PM & you won't get out of customs before then.
Are you staying at Marriott Marquis? I'll be there on Friday & Saturday. Good luck on the flight!

Okay gang...just talked to the people at Stout.
http://www.stoutnyc.com/
They will reserve space for us in the Bar...have Stones blastin...and NO cover...ie...you pay for what you want to eat or drink.
Only hitch....they cannot guarantee the reservation past 5:15 on Friday the 20th. MOST of us have to be ready to start eating and drinking by 5!!! Not a problem for me!!!
Okay....I've done my homework...you decide.
LJ.
