Sorry for the really bad play on words of that old Genesis album (one
of my fave Genesis albums, though).

But, it's a go.  I'll hit New York on the afternoon of the 30th, and
leave on July 5th.  Tickets have been purchased (at surprisingly low
prices, I might add g).

The CMWC (Cycling Messenger World Championships will likely take a lot
of my time - most of it, in fact - but hopefully I'll be able to get
away to meet with some New York friend.

I'll have the luxury of staying on Annsan's floor while there (thanks,
Ann!), so I know I'll be able to at least harass her for a time.  g

As far as anyone else, it's looking like Sunday may be my best day to
get away and do stuff.  I've had more than one offer for fireworks
viewing on July 4th, but that evening is when we have our awards
ceremony and cocktail party (okay, not quite a cocktail party, but
drinking will occur).

I'm thinking that what I'll do is perhaps exchange phone numbers (I'll
have my cell, plus of course, I'll be staying with Ann) so we'll see
what can be arranged.

Woo-Hoo!  Big Apple, here I come!

By bike it's really easy. But instead of going over the bridge, I would
recommend taking the Roosevelt Island tramway, enjoy a view
and avoid the accidents at the same time. And from the Roosevelt island,
it's ~30 minutes walk to Astoria Blvd.

Venturing to Queens no problem in general - but if
I'm too exhausted from
doing the flea market I might not manage it.

I'll be working all day Saturday and Sunday at the
flea market unless
weather is either totally rainy or as hot as it is
today.

Don't count on me for anything - that is, make
plans without 
me and if I can get there I wlll get there.

For the most part crowded and bar keep me away

MOnday night I'll be watching fireowrks with
friends from the
roof of our apartment building -

Happy to have you guys come over for that if you
like
