Maybe for me. I'd have to red-eye in for Saturday's activities as I have zero vacation days available until later this year.

Living in the area and working in NY, I would normally attend this event, but unfortunately, I'm going to be traveling that day.

Just a heads up...
UCBeau and I both have a second hobby. Wine. We're headed to an upscale restaurant (unknown at this time) on Friday, where we will bring a good bottle of wine priced between $50 and $75. If anyone is interested in joining us (and bringing a good bottle), please post.

Would love to join you, but unfortunately, I will be 4,000 miles away that day indulging my taste for wine in Tuscany.

If you're like me, you were saddened to read Randy's e mail about the cancellation of The Freddie awards. 
These awards took place for 24 years. There was a time we'd fill out the ballots that were included in InsideFlyer, and mail them to the HOM in COS.
couple on the net. Lots of good times. ^
In order to fill this void
, especially since some of you depend on using the weekend to pad your mileage accounts, I'm starting the first annual in honor of The Freddies DO.
Where: New York City
When: April 24th, 2010. This was the same weekend as The Freddies.
Here's how I envision the weekend...
April 23, 2010. Arrive New York City - possible dinner plans.
April 24, 2010. Saturday.
Meet at a central location in midtown Manhattan aka NYC.
Visit the NYC Transit Museum in Brooklyn.
Visit the Brooklyn Brewery.
Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge (not sure which way yet).
Walking tour of Little Italy/Chinatown, and maybe Greenwich Village
Visit the World Trade Center area.
Take a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry.
We'll lunch along the way.
Dinner will be a sit down at a restaurant to be named later.
In keeping with the theme of the Brooklyn Reality Tour, I'll try and work this out to be cost reduced. You can forget the $75 steak dinner. I want as many as possible to attend, and not worry about cost.
Think you can make it?

First post updated to include violist, who will join us for the wine dinner too. He'll bring a Bordeaux-style wine.
