Yvonne Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Don't tell him. But the money is for new dresses (which he will love) and new fabric for my quilting. He already has three guitars - isn't that enough. My fabric vanishes as soon as something new is finished. Just to let you guys know!!!

Yeah, well, one is a spanish nylon string, the other a cheap acoustic, and the third is my real guitar (the Ernie Ball Music Man one). A man can never have enough geetars.

IrishEyes Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he's lost his bleeping mind!Yvonne, you need to find some pills for your husband, as he thinks he's really gonna spend all of your dress money on guitar stuff. I agree, THREE is way too many. You might even sell one or two of them, to have some extra spending cash. That would be more than fair, in my opinion. :cup: Now, back to business... Hotels, museums, list of attendees, chat time, and interesting people for a convention- that is your quest, my children. Find these answers before I return from Texas on Tuesday, ok? We have some BIG plans to make, and I - for one- am getting really excited! Yvonne, hold the guitar pick ransom until he agrees to at least an afternoon at Macy's, ok? We can sneak out of there and spend a few hours on 5th Avenue if he gets too goofy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yvonne Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Well, someone has labelled me the 'real' boss. Tormod had to tell me... However true, I'm definitly not the boss of HCNA 05! I like the hotel. Whatever else happens is fine by me, or if not I'll just go shopping or grab some doughnuts... Chat time, museums, etc I don't really want to much involved in choosing. It's all of you other guys who makes this place what it is - I just support Tormod (most of the time). I am coming and I am looking forward to meeting you all - Tormod tells me so much stuff... and a couple of you I saw last evening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killean Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yes the two crazy Canuk's known as Gahd and Killean went live in Oslo yesterday. :cup: How soon do we need to make reservations for the hotel Irish found (or any hotel down there for that fact)? I hope that it's no more then a month in advance, otherwise I could end up living in the subway stations for the trip duration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I could end up living in the subway stations for the trip duration. With a title like "The Mole" I thought that was the intention...we booked Central Station for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think maybe the reservations should be made fairly soon. But if it's like here in Europe the reservations can be cancelled without paying anything up to a very short time before arrival (days - a least a month)! You guys were so funny last night - I've said OK for T to buy a webcam for him self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yes, especially in New York. At worst, you will need to cancel a week in advance, most places only require 24 hours notice. If you get the right person, you may actually be able to get a *better* rate if you change it to non-refundable. Cheers,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Well, someone has labelled me the 'real' boss. Tormod had to tell me... However true, I'm definitly not the boss of HCNA 05! Ok, now you're "The Wife". I'm waiting for inspiration to strike with a more fitting title. Until then, "The Wife" seems to fit best... I'll get on the reservations as soon as I get back home. Right now, I'm enjoying listening to Grandma's stories, and laughing at Texas State Troopers in their cowboy hats. How do you keep a straight face when you see them, Fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishEyes Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 For any of those wondering why that was in THIS thread, our original plan, when we first started talking about having a Hypography Convention, was to schedule it around a Van concert. Of course, he's also going to be in Italy this summer. Freethinker is gonna kill us for not planning it around this! Of course, if he checks the VanSite, he'll also see a show in Boston. How cool, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Maybe we should move this thread into a separate HCNA forum so it does not disappear all the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zadojla Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Excellent, especially since the Apollo theater is in Harlem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think I really want to squeeze in a visit to the museum of natural history and that planetarium. I have a colleague who visited them to give a lecture a few years back, I'll ask if he can get me in touch with a contact there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think I really want to squeeze in a visit to the museum of natural history and that planetarium.Heck, even if you have no time, at least popup out of the subway to take a look at the building. The planetarium building is on my top ten coolest buildings list. The planetarium shows are expensively produced (thus the high ticket price), and you won't see anything like it elsewhere. Buffy sez check it out...The rest of the Nat is to die for too. Note its on the opposite side of the park from the Met, and if you want a walk between Science and Art, its a nice one.
