I presume that some of the other NYC Box denizens may be interested and might have a venue they would think is preferable.

Depending on the time , I may be able to make it
Im flying back from Florida that afternoon .

Box Obscurity update: the Hardy Boys book in which I inspired a character was either released or is very close to it. I don't know if the copy I got in the mail was an author's advance or not. Will post details once I read it.

The Box Economics: Hypothetically speaking, based on the economy and car industry today, would you pay invoice price for a car or go for a few hundred under?

Never hurts to start below invoice - especially with where they're at these days.

Since, just as there is no location yet established, there is no time yet established. So tell us your ETA and, as long as it is within reasonable dinner hours, that will be the time.

In preparation for our 0600 flight to tomorrow (CLE-IAH-CUN), we are having some wicked margaritas tonight. They look yellow, but they taste like pure Tequila.

If you don't hear from me until 2/16 - that's what happened... I know that drunk posting is reserved for the more senior members of the box ;)

I'm in the slow upload process to Youtube of a 2 minute video from Miles or No Miles, game number 2. Will post link in the DO photo thread as soon as it finishes uploading and precessing.

Please do, I look forward to reading it. Shaun Cassidy or Parker Stevenson....it was always hard to choose which one to have a crush on.

Did you inspire the character as a kid or as an adult?

For me it was easy. Shaun Cassidy, hands down. (I even had all his albums.. <= sad).
