I'm in.

that would be a long long train ride.

i should be in.

I'm planning a west coast trip April 2010. I've time to budget & save for Philly in May. Yum. Mojitos & gelatto on Walnut Street. The spa & masseuse at Loews is good. I love this town! Oh yeah, & you people too. SAS .. do think of coming, please.

30. Intercourse

Count me (and Mrs. Big Al) in. Dates are flexible for us.

Big Al

first or second week of June, school is still in session.

if it could be in may, that would be so much better for me. i have applied for a couple of fellowships back east that end at the end of may. it would be difficult to go home after nine months away, and then turn around and go BACK east.

i won't know for a few months if i even get a fellowship, but things are pretty hopeful, especially for the one in nyc.

but even if i don't get a fellowship, and am living back in montana, june is very difficult. we only have a couple of flights a day, and once school is out, everyone and their families are flying here, and the planes are packed. it's difficult and expensive to get in and out of montana in the summer. fly fishing season, you know.

april or may would be my own personal preference.

My preference would be in May, also. June starts camps and vacations (which is why I couldn't attend Elena's Carnegie Hall gig and parties), and I'll need the rest of April to recover from Thing 1's bat mitzvah.

To which we will be receiving our invitations by approximately what date?

rich,
please weigh in with when cunningham's is available!

i think we really do need to do memorial day weekend if we're going to do may, so that people from the left coast and thereabouts have enough time to travel.

is that doable?

is there anyone who can't come then?

Can't come on Mem Day Wkend - that is my big plant sale weekend. And the next. Mid June I could get away.

Darn, I'd hate to think of you all partying without me...

Whenever we plan the party, Cunningham will be available!

(One requirement - everybody has to sell pianos if we do this during regular business hours )

I'd be happy to sell pianos for Cunningham. However, I do require a base salary of $12,634.38 per week, plus 15% commission on all sales $10,000 or less, 20% of all sales over $10,000. My contractual minimum is one week's base pay.

Deal?

rich,
is the store open on saturday nights? can we do it on a saturday night?
