DC and NYC here I come

[gwyn]

I'm going to be in Washington DC and NYC in a few weeks -- I'll be in DC on the 15th, though I get in kinda late in the afternoon, and then my BFF and I are heading up to NY on the 17th for a couple days up there, returning to Washington on Sunday the 19th. I leave for home late in the day on Tuesday the 21st.

So with that schedule in mind, I wondered if there's anyone who feels like meeting up. I'll have my friend with me in NY, but he's what I call fannish adjacent -- he's a fanboy without really being in fandom, and he's well versed in all my current obsessions, so he's safe for fannish meetups. I haven't made a hotel reservation yet but the place I'm looking at is near Times Square. I'll probably be in a couple different places in the city in Washington.

I don't have a lot of plans other than to hang out with my friend and see some places I haven't been to before. I want to see the High Line when we're in NY, but that's my main focus besides shopping because I always love shopping. So that leaves me with meetup time, for once!

And I don't have much for the positivity meme day 3, but I'll use this, I guess.

1. Got my plane tickets for the trip.

2. Am going on a trip, which, since my plans with the BFF for Hawaii in October fell apart due to his life issues, is at least something to look forward to.

3. Uh, made nominations for both Yuletide and Festivids that are adjacent to my current obsession with all things Winter Soldier.

Ohhhhh, I usually kinda skim past posts like this because I am in Alaska and never near ANYTHING, but I am actually going to be in upstate New York for the better part of this month! It's about a 4-5 hour drive from where we are to NYC, but I did want to get down to the city at some point during my time in the state if possible. And this is most definitely during that time!

You know, I realize you're back to having limited net access so I might have missed my shot at this, but if by chance you get mail, my direct address is gwynethr at gmail dot com and I will check it pretty regularly. I'll be in NY on Friday, not sure what time, and then we'll have all day on Saturday as well as most of Sunday before we head back to DC. I know it's a long way for you to go, but if you do think you'll want to head down there, it would be a total blast to meet up with you!
