I spun this off to its own thread :)

Ok thanks. I replied to Bakari's response on that thread.

When is the next meetup? Let's do something in September. :)

I'd be up for hosting a potluck dinner at my apartment in Queens again. I can reasonably host 10 people. Let me know if there's interest. I'm out of town starting September 29 and then the entire month of October is bad for me, so it would need to be before that.

I am definitely up for it.

This weekend won't work for me either.  The next two weekends would be fine though.

Please count me in! I will be coming along with my wife and 2.5 years old daughter (Are kids allowed?)

Queens resident here. Excited at the prospect of meeting other mustachians. @serpentstooth - have you decided on hosting this month?

I am meeting a different group of friends at 2pm at Central Park Sunday so unfortunately it would be hard to work in a meetup for me. Saturday at noon or 1pm I could probably do.

PS: I'm more fun to hang out with than MonkeyJenga! :P

That's true. Also my plans have shifted and Sunday is objectively better for me as well, as long as it's fairly early. Anyone down to meet at 11 or noon?

Frankly, the pope shenanigans makes Sunday an objectively better choice. We have been meeting in Central Park when the weather's nice, in front of the Dairy visitor center.

I'm in, and I vote 11AM to force me to get out of bed somewhat early :)

I would love to do 11am.

Great chatting with everyone today.

How about a completely anti-mustachian meetup at the World Series?

GO METS

More seriously though, a meetup at someone's place to watch the playoffs might be interesting.

Hi, gang.  Does anyone want to meet up with a visiting Texan on Monday 11/16? 

I am visiting friends in NYC and (and Hartford CT) Thursday through Sunday, but my flight home leaves Tuesday because it's cheaper that way.  So I will be touristing solo on Monday.  Putting the free in freelancing, so to speak!  Am up for any good frugal ideas.

Have only been to NYC a few days before, though on two or three occasions.  Easily entertained - eg, for me "Meet me for lunch at your favorite Costco" is as good as "meet me at your favorite neighborhood falafel joint", "picnic at X Park", etc.  Will be wearing running shoes instead of my cowboy boots.

Not sure if I'll be available but putting in a vote for riding the (free) staten Island ferry in the evening. You can bring your own drinks/snacks onboard.

The met, natural history museum are both open on mondays I believe and are pay what you will.

Norabird - awesome!  I've never ridden the ferry before. It should be great for views.  The Met and the Natural History Museum are both worthy bucket list items.  This is going to be cool.

I'd be up for a museum visit on Monday, but I come with a coordinating six month old, so if you want me to stay home, that's understandable.

Hi, Serpentstooth.  Six month olds and coordinating are fine.  I have co-fostered babies and toddlers (my girlfriend of the time was the official parent) so I understand.  It will add to the richness of the day.  Also your writing is fabulous so I would be delighted to meet you in person, and any other family members who join, if this comes to pass. I will PM my contact info.

I'm up for any evening activities that this might lead to.

Was a while ago since my last Staten Island ferry ride.

Hi, all. I am planning to be at the Musuem of Natural History most of the afternoon. Unless someone suggests otherwise, will board the Staten Island Ferry for the first trip from Manhattan that departs after 6:00 pm.  Feel free to join!

In reply to messages asking where to meet, I suggest inside the South Ferry building, in front of the water fountain and restrooms.

I will be displaying my artitistic skills there in form of a hand drawn MUSTAChE SIGN (Sharpie on Manila Folder, hand held), starting at 5:50, intending to board the 6:15 ferry as planned.

Also sad to have missed this! Maybe we could get another meetup together soonish? Not sure what everyone's schedules are like for the holidays, but we seem to have a good amount of people following this thread :)

Norabird and StruggleToaster, sad to have missed you! 

Nonetheless, it was a fun event, and not just because of the Magnificent Mustache Sign that was displayed.  We took the ferry to Staten Island as planned, enjoying beautiful views of the City at night from the harbor while chatting away. Then we explored on foot near the trrminal building on Staren Island, finding the gorgeous if sobering 9/11 monument there.  Picture experiments and more conversation ensued, followed by more fine views on the return trip.  Sharing of cookies was also involved.

Hey everyone, at the end of the Prospect Park meetup I volunteered to host a potluck at my place in December. So if y'all are up to come to Bed-Stuy we can enjoy food, games, and my wondrous company. Monkey Jenga can attest to how wonderful I am.

I'm supposed to make a Doodle Pool but I have no idea how to do that on my phone. What days work for you guys?

He's very charming, as long as you're ok with socialism and 100% terrible people.

I laughed!

I should be pretty free with the exception of this coming weekend and Christmas.

Basically this. I think Meowkins is coming up to NYC sometime soon with her husband. Hopefully we can have a nice, frozen meetup :).

Monkey Jenga is half right. I don't know that "socialist" is accurate. At least it's simplistic. I've never used the term to describe myself. And I'm only 30% terrible. There have been big improvements on that front.

How about the 19th or the 20th? That is probably the best weekend for me, and no one has objected to that.

Hi all,

I just moved to NYC a month ago from Houston.  I live in Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) so Bed-Sty shouldn't be a problem, if you're OK with a newbie (to NYC) coming.
