Attention, New York lj friends!

The assignment with the big investment bank has come through; the official word will be in on Monday, according to the client manager. The first move in this project will be a trip to New York for me. The tentative schedule is 24-28 September, Monday through Friday, with possible arrival on 23rd September and departure on 28th.

So, New York lj friends, you going to be around that week? Anyone want to suggest a restaurant for dinner (no fish, please, but vegetarian or carnivorous is OK for me)? I would love to meet y'all.

Comment on this entry and we can get cracking.

There was a young fellow named Locke
Who was blessed with a two-headed cock.
When he fondled the thing,
It would rise up and sing
An antiphonal chorus by Bach.

These kids deserve a medal

...for being the most clued-in guys at their school. They'll go far.
