May 6 sounds like a good date for us, but since we were on the bus last year, I know that we will be put at the bottom of the standby list. This is no problem because the meet place is ten minutes from our house and Dan can let even let us know as he boards the bus if there are any no shows.
The only priority that we might have is that I actually spent some growing up time in Brooklyn so that I might get a few nostalgia points when the list is finalized.
