randissimo Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Sounds like it'll be a fun gathering... Wish I could be there..... Quote

catesta Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Posted April 11, 2005 C'mon, Randy! You could just drive through the night on Wednesday! The folks from Michigan could rent a van and take turns driving. If they really wanted to make it. Quote
Guy Berger Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I'm actually going to the Jazz Standard to see Ben Allison/Medicine Wheel. I'm not sure if I can come down earlier but if so I'll meet up with you guys. Guy Quote

I still have plans to get with you guys in Philly. I think Peter might have just been going after the free beer offer courtesy of maren. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I'll be there- I'm looking forward to meeting you folks! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Have fun, folks!!! Wish I could be in Manhattan this weekend instead of up in Petoskey, MI. Boo! My wife and I met maren when we were in NYC in February. She's a sweet gal! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Petoskey, MI. Boo! You are being reported to the authorities. Quote
Ron S Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I still have plans to get with you guys in Philly. And hopefully you'll reveal those plans to us before you've come and gone. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm going to make it to New York. But there will of course be a Philly Catestarama! Not sure how many of us are here, but how about lunch on Saturday? Quote
rachel Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Shouldn't that be a "Philly Catestanissimo"? Edited April 12, 2005 by rachel Quote
Ron S Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Actually, there's a whole weekend Catestaval here in Philly. Unfortunately, I just found out I have to be out of town from Saturday until Sunday, so I can only make a Friday night event. Isn't that when Catestamania is being held? Quote
7/4 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I'm just getting around to checking in, good to see a thread started! Jez, what a day...glad to get home and listen to some music. See ya all on Thursday. Quote
maren Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Did I say "southwest corner" in a PM? It's the NORTHWEST corner of Avenue C and East 7th Street, where the little party guy () is! The red star on Avenue B marks the house with the plaque that says "Charlie Parker lived here..." Subways are in the yellow circles or boxes (the F train stop is named "Second Avenue" but it will really let you out on First Ave and Houston Street. The M21 bus is a good connection "on paper" -- but it doesn't come along very often! The other buses -- dotted lines and "M##" -- do.) Catestapalooza!!! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I don't know where you fine folks are planning on eating, but my wife, a good high school friend that lives on the upper west side, and I all ate at this amazing place in the Village called Moustache. Great meditteranean/Greek food. Best hummus I've ever had in my life. Quote

Guy Berger Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) Question for the locals -- will I be able to find on-street parking around there around 5:30? Also... is the Jazz Standard walking distance away? (The maps suggest about 2 miles.) Maybe I should look for parking there and then walk over? Recommendations are welcome. Guy p.s. I hate waiting for the train!!! Edited April 13, 2005 by Guy Berger Quote

Catestapalooza!!!   And if you take the 'F' train(I work by Rockefeller Center, so I will), you get off near another landmark- Downtown Music Gallery! If 400,000+ people show up, it rains like mad, etc. can we call it Catestastock? Edited April 13, 2005 by PHILLYQ Quote

Michael Fitzgerald Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Oh come on, Chuck. It's not such a big deal. Look, visitors to NYC - just leave your car with one of the valets. You will know them by the bucket and squeegee. Mike Quote
JSngry Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 And if a valet's not handy, just leave the keys on the dashboard, with the car unlocked. Somebody will be along shortly to move it to the proper spot. Quote
