Paging all NYC Balloon Juice peeps!
Mr. Bemused Senior will be in NYC this coming week and would love a meetup, if it’s not too last-minute for everyone.
He going to be visiting family in NYC and also attending the TPM “happy hour” on Tuesday evening, 7/9. Anyone else attending, or want to attend?
But wait, there are more options! Sunday 7/7 or Monday 7/8 are also good for him. Afternoon or evening! He will be staying in the Chelsea area, around 28th Street & 7th Ave, and he said that anywhere in Manhattan would be easily accessible for him.
Paging LAO and others – Mr. Bemused Senior said he would like to meet you!
Open thread!

If you complain about how last-minute this is, you can blame me. Mr. Bemused Senior first wrote me about this nearly a week ago, and I dropped the ball.

Well shoot. I’ll be at least in an adjacent borough.

Monday, please. (I have a long drive back from the shore Sunday afternoon with my sons.)
Trivia Man
Not NYC, but any body interested in Madison to meet and see Joe tomorrow?
RedDirtGirl
I can do Monday and finish up work in the Chelsea area at 5.

Can be there most anytime, Monday evening is fine. Suggestions for exact time and place welcome.
Apologies, I ain’t got the spoons, right now, to do planning for this. But looking forward to seeing all yo’ jackals.
Hope everyone’s having a Glorious Fourth !

I would love to meet up–unfortunately I tested positive for Covid this morning. Next time.

signifying nothing in particular, the British bookie Bet365 has set the over/under on the number of seats that the Tories keep at 78, just ahead of the LibDems at 70.
Go Lib Dems!
Mr. Bemused Senior
@RedDirtGirl: can you suggest a place? Maybe drinks around 5:30 Monday?
RedDirtGirl
@Mr. Bemused Senior: I’ll put my thinking cap on!

There is Peter McManus Cafe, NYC’s oldest family run bar, at 7th Ave and 19th Street. People can grab food if they want, or just a drink.
Mr. Bemused Senior
@RedDirtGirl: seems good to me. See you on Monday.
JAFD
OK, C U Monday, 5:30. I’ll be guy with big light gray beard and mop of brown hair, which badly need trimming. May ask one of you to walk with me, back to PATH station, afterwards.
Monday forecast – clear, sunny, high around 90
Will have to get one of their burgers, compare with Krug Tavern’s

I just emailed Watergirl to see if she will post about it, and maybe we will get a few more people to join us. See you there.
Mr. Bemused Senior
@RedDirtGirl: thanks
