OT: STTF NYC Get-Together Venue! (PM me if interested)
 

First, if you are interested in attending, please PM me! It will be on either Dec 2 or Dec 3. Also indicate if you are willing to pay a cover. See below.

Alright, the responses in the poll basically suggest that the weekend is good. However, there are a few complications.

It seems like a lot of people want there to be Poker. The problem is a place for it. I don't know anyone who has a really big house with several tables. We could rent a room, but that costs money. Which means we would need to charge a cover.

Also most of the respondents want alcohol, which also puts constraints on choice of venue.

The other option is alcohol & no poker (i.e. bar hopping). This would both have no cover and no poker, but also leave it basically impossible for people under 21 to attend.

If anyone has a good idea for a venue, please reply to this thread.

If you don't see your name on this list, you haven't PMed me yet.

Bar hopping might be your best bet. I have a friend trying to organize a Xmas party that weekend, and said many rooms/bars in NYC have already been booked for other Xmas parties.

Personally, my .02:

We should just go bar hopping, it's too hard to find a place to play poker in the city.

If people are still interested in poker, I'm totally down for an AC or Foxwoods trip. This could involve plenty of drinking for those interested, and people could sit at similar tables based on personal preference and bankroll limitations.

Any thoughts, comments, criticisms?

I really think bar hopping (or no hopping as I am lazy) is best...its more likely to come together this way, and will better for socializing. If you want to ensure that there will be no one of the opposite sex around, then a room for poker is fine... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As for guys like exitonly who is only 20, anyone got a brother who is not driving that weekend? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It's funny that all the actual replies don't want to do poker, yet a ton of ppl voting voted for poker.
