I am up for either and either dates.  I do like the idea of Princeton though.  I've never been there and I love to explore new places.  The beach is good, too, but maybe we should leave that for closer to summer.  I don't know.  I'm up for whatever everyone else wants.  The only suggestion I would ask is to not make it the first of the months.  I'm always paying rent then and would prefer to have some money for spending.   [smiley=laugh.gif]

I like the Princeton idea - the Cape May is better left for ... May.  LOL  [smiley=laugh.gif]  I think let's go for the Princeton idea, during the MLK holiday weekend.  Let's see if we can get group rates.  

BTW, ALL ARE WELCOME - DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STATE!  Considering this is not an 'official' gathering, and this is more of a local gathering, but want acknowledge anyone who would like to join in from afar, or may be in the area at that time.

:)It looks ;ike it's going to bePrinceton and I think that we'll all love it.
    Lets shoot for MLK weekend.  How many nights are we talking.  A group rate could be possible but how many are we?
Let's move on this, so please post me with me with your intentions [smiley=thumb.gif]  This sounds great so far.

I know that we're calling this a North East meeting But all are welcome [smiley=wave.gif] [smiley=wave.gif]

You can count me in.  My brother will not be able to make it unfortunately since he will just be starting back to work on Jan. 1st after his surgery.  I know he wishes he could come, but it will be impossible for him to get the time off.

I plan on coming Friday (Jan. 13th) through Sunday (Jan. 15th) for sure.  I am going to try and ask off for Friday and Monday if at all possible, but  not guaranteed.  

Hey....just a thought.....we could take a train into NYC on Saturday if anyone is interested.  I would love to see a Broadway musical.  But if not, then I will save that for when I go to visit Trina.  ;)

Hi all:

Tom, see if we can get group rates.  Yes, Michelle, I think I had the date wrong - it's the 14th and 15th (saturday and sunday) of January.  I unfortunately
can't come the 13th due to work, but I can come in on the 14th.  (Do we want to, on Friday the 13th?  ;) ).  

I think we should keep it to the 14th afternoon to the 15th evening.  My personal opinion is that I don't wanna make it too big since we've got Orlando and I don't want to detract from that (with respect to people's time and expenses).  I'm sure though if anyone wants to come in earlier or stay later, that would not be a problem of course.  

Michelle, I'll be awaiting your visit to NYC soon so we can go to a broadway show (I got so many on my list to see!).  However, I definitely feel that for this particular weekend, I think a hockey game, as Tom suggested, is a great bonding event for everyone (and not cost prohibitive - it is just Princeton after all ;) ).  What do you think?

I think anyone interested, should post or private message Tom so he can look into group rates and get a preliminary count.  

Tom, we'll look to you as managing the schedule and what not, if that's okay with you.  Let me know what you think of the ideas above and how I can help or what I can do.  I am sure Michelle & Shari would be willing to help as well although I would hate to burden them two too much, given all the great work you did for Vegas!  But it's up to you all - let's all coordinate!  

Woohoo, party!!!!!!!!!!  :)

Count me in - arriving on that Saturday for me....!!  Can't wait!
