If we're looking for March, could I request March 3-4-5 or March 17-18-19? That middle week will be Caitlin's birthday party.

Great news!
Waiting for the added details so as to block off the event days!
BTW- West Bank sounds fine to me. It would be a first for me. If you're open to suggestions, you might also consider Cite!

This New Yorker will be happy to attend and meet some of you.
<<<will be happy to be a personal tour guide. Anyone up for Coney Island in Brooklyn? We can get some Nathan's hotdogs. Then stop in to ANY bakery for some really good cake.
FYI Coney Island is about 20 minutes away from JFK. Sometimes, depending on the flight approach, you can see the beach out the left hand side of the plane. That's the Carnarsie approach. My favorite. I can see my old house. Ahhhhh

Now if only I could make it to 50,000 with UA.

Catman: Don't forgot about possibly having one of the events in downtown Newark! (I hope, I hope!) We will be in the midst of The Sopranos third season when the "trois" rolls around.

Two more things about the C-D Trois:
*There's NO RUSH for picking a date. I just want a general idea where most interest is.
*Just an advisory that the Saturday dinner (and depending on turnout for Friday's thing) WILL BE PRE-PAID!!! If you want to attend, you will have to pre-pay! I promise to have a restaurant for Saturday selected early and prices provided. THERE WILL BE NO DINNER LOTTERY LIKE LAST YEAR. THIS WAY EVERYONE SHOWS UP AND THERE IS NO CREDIT CARD CHAOS AT THE END OF DINNER!
OK? Again, questions or suggestions please e-mail me.
Thanks and six months to the TROIS!
ANd Randy, I hope you can come as well!

Catman, please count me in. This is so far in the future, that any of those dates are good for me.
I also like the idea of diversity by having part of the event in Newark for some good Spanish/Portuguese food. This way, the "alley cats" can represent with some pride.
Please keep us posted.

16th/17th of March would be best with me and it is also St.Patrick's Day weekend which should be a blast in the NYC/NJ region [McSORLEY's here we come!]. Second best for me would be the 24th/25th of March or even the 31st/1st of April.
Like dgolds, I would be curious to see more of Newark, having now been exposed to 8 episodes of THE SAPRANOS. The rest of the first and second series will be unreeling each night a 10 through this week and next on our CTV television. (That's on free TV up here.)
Back to the purpose of this posting: My calendar for 20001 indicates that Easter is on the 15th of April, but Passover and Palm Sunday are on the 8th. Any later in April is not really good for me, as I am off to South Africa on the 25th and couldn't justify the weekend of the 20th. Won't be back until mid-May. (BA First all the way...oh joy!)
Gaucho100K, as far as I am led to believe, any FlyerTalker in good standing who asks politely will likely get an invite from Catman. And particularly someone who can appreciate the finer aspects of a perfectly cooked, fork tender pound of beef. I would certainly think Catman would want to compare notes with you, based on our own "conversation" a few weeks ago about the finer things Buenos Aires has to offer in this regard. But if you do come, you must bring me a box of Havannas: no Catman, not the ones you and Cigarman savor, but Alfajores! If you've ever had one, you wouldn't have to ask about the difference. (But let's just say they are Argentina's answer to Krispy Kremes.)

3/16-18 or the last 2 weekends in April are my 1st choice, 3/24 and 3/31 are my 2nd choices.
How about a Saturday Matinee Broadway show?
