10 BRT's, and 10 trips to Coney Island.

I've made adjustments to the first post on page 1 to reflect additions and subtractions.

I think that's because someone (I won't say who, but he is wearing a blue shirt and is in the middle of this photo), loves roller coasters

All good ideas come from the ground up. It was one of the riders on BRT 7 that suggested the ride. The guy in the blue shirt, believe it or not, does listen. Juammer, please take note.

First reminder... the BRT has a reputation for pushing back on time. Unlike the airlines, which close their doors 10 minutes prior to push, the BRT doesn't. Last year we departed at 10:03. I have been known to leave a person or 2 behind over the years. As many repeat riders will tell you, we have a lot to do during the day. Eating is time consuming.
Many people arrive between 9:30 - 9:45. N.B. Cell phone service on the block can be sketchy.

Late comers will be given directions to our first stop.

A map left under a rock?
Oh, they probably don't have loose rocks laying around in that part of Manhattan.

2 BRT's, and already he's our historian.

Post 1 updated.

Info on WineDo 3 here >>> http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...l#post13870090

Open to everyone that can afford the $70 tab, plus the cost of a bottle of wine ($25 minimum).
If you don't drink, you're still invited. After a day of not spending $$ (AUD$) on Saturday, a few of us splurge on Sunday dinner.

You're set.

1 seat left, and that's with 6 weeks to go. Wonder who's going to get lucky.

54.

I'm going to save this seat for the Press... just in case. I have an e mail out.
If Randy decides to drop in, I'll have to give up my seat.

I just booked my ticket so I am pretty sure I will be going. Can you please mark me as confirmed? Also, can you please PM me information on how I can pay for it? Thanks! Can't wait to see everyone!

netfishpanda, in post 171 you indicated that you were interested in coming on the BRT. As you can see, there is a waitlist. Please do not purchase a ticket to New York until you hear back from me confirming a seat. At this time, you're #2 (see below).

Note to all: please read this thread for (somewhat) important information when it gets bumped. I'd hate for someone to buy a ticket to NY if their seat isn't confirmed on the tour.

As of this writing, I'm saving a seat for Randy and 'the press'. If I don't hear back from the newsmedia by Friday, I'll confirm #1 on the waitlist (see below). I will hold Randys seat until the bitter end, unless I hear otherwise from 'the boss'.

Let's say you paid for a seat, and something comes up; and you can't make it to NY.

It's happened in the past. If I'm able to give your seat to a waitlisted person, I'll ask them to paypal you or send you a check. This way, everyone is happy. If you have to cancel, and I can't find a replacement, a refund will be forthcoming (if all expenses have been met; and as of today, they have. YMMV).

Have a question?? Please ask.

Waitlist:

wait-listed

Thanks for putting me on the wait-list! itsaboutthejourney convinced me this weekend in Kansas City (MCI BBQ Do) that this would be a great event to attend!

Ah...I thought I had cleared the wait list. I should have looked closely!

My guess is -- with nearly 6 weeks still to go and more than 50 in the confirmed group -- that there WILL be a few cancellations, and therefore, the waitlisted people will eventually be accommodated.

But that's only an educated guess. Anything can happen. @:-)
