I was talking to people about doing a meet for August actually at:

Korova Milk Bar
200 Avenue A (13th-14th street)

or

Lit
5th-6th street and 2nd ave.

or

Otto's strunken head
14th street bet- ave A and B

All are fantastic!!! I think we should have one every month or one every other month. I expect a bigger outcome this time- since this one was so great- thanx Ched!!!
To Udo, Ty, Ched, Staci, Jessica, Larisa,( of course Liz) and many others that I can't remember your names- nothing personal-I owe it to drinks- believe me- you are ALL fantastic and wonderful!!! Can't wait to see you all again- and very soonhopefully!!!

Sorry, I had a few days off and then work and Had to miss it all.  But If you want the most people think about close the 14th street either east or west side.  Easier for NJ people and Brookyln people to get to.

One concern that was expressed before this past meetup was that underage members would be excluded.  A quick browse shows that 200 of New York/New Jersey's 700 models are under 21.  Maybe something to consider would be a pub or a restaurant with a great bar, so everyone could attend.

Not that I don't love the milk bar.  And not that I wouldn't want to go there after the meet up.   Or just about any random night.

Mr. Diaz you stole my line!! LOL........ I was just going to post that I am so sorry that I couldn't attend because of my age. I know Liz and Udo and it would have been an extreme pleasure in meeting the rest of the talented people that were in attendance. Well, lets see if someone will come up with a great place!!

Hey Udo (130) and Liz (3272) it would have been great hanging out with the two of you. Oh, I think Igor was there as well, right? Well then, the three of you plus of course the rest of the gang!! Maybe there will be a next time.

As I understand it, you can be in a bar up until 10 or 10:30 without issue, you just can't drink alcohol. That's why I said 8pm in the first place. After that time comes around, we can move the party or split the party.

Hi Everyone!!!

It was so wonderful to meet all of you.  I'd been afraid of meeting up with people trying to bite each other's heads off too but it turned out we were among friends... 

Ched: thank you so much for bringing this together.  And thanks for the lovely dance  smile  I do hope we'll be doing this again and think that every other month is a good idea so it doesn't get old.  Hhmm...that Brooklyn Lager sure was good too...all 3/4 gallons of it  8)       

In the meantime, that Atari sounds grand! 

Ty: I'm definitely up for the shoot on Thurs.  We just need to confirm with StaciF and Bpruck.  We're going to Jersey for it right?

Dave: Thanks for the ride and for all the help in getting me started here.  Also thanks to Craigslist and my freezer, hehe 

Kisses to everyone!

if underage is a big concern we can use the Leisure Time Bowling Center and Cocktail Lounge at the Port Authority in Times Squair on 8th ave I am sure it would be fine for under age talent, Also a side note why dont we try to do the partys on a Saturday seeing that most people work on Fridays and it can for some people a little harde to attend a party  after working a long day at work but it dosent matter to me I am up for anyday at any plac

That sounds like a great idea! We could do one of those lounges first  Maybe august 20th- on a Saturday and then around 12-1AM go to the Milk Bar? Sounds Good? Like an after party think people are up for it? I know I was...wink

What if we keep the bi-monthly bar night and add a monthly brunch?
