Ask NYYC: Help us make a gathering plan.

We're planning to meet! We don't have a date or location yet, but that's on purpose. Please vote for the date and location (submit them together) that you think works best.

If you have any questions feel free to email me at jdennis at gmail.

I think the Radegast Beiergarten in Williamsburg (http://nymag.com/listings/bar/radegast-hall/) would be a great place to meet (long tables, beer steins, sausages) and it's very accessible for people of all boroughs (first stop in Brooklyn on the L-Bedford Ave). It tends to get crowded on Weekend nights but should be comfortable on a Sunday evening.

Full Disclosure: I live in Williamsburg. That said, I'm more than open to any other location in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

This place sounds awesome. I'd be down for here.

I like this idea. How about Sunday July 20th starting around 7:30pm?

A simple proposal: if 7 people post here agreeing to show up at the aforementioned time/place, it's on.

Counting me and j2d2, we've got 2 so far.

ps. fortes, you're coming in from Seattle?

Sadly, I'll be gone that weekend.

Me too. Please post the next one though.

How about we make it the last sunday of the month? This will be easy to follow and people can plan accordingly.

Nope, just hadn't updated my profile. Fixed.

Since 11 > 7, it's on. I'll send out an email reminder on friday; write me at stucchio at google's mail service to be put on the list.

That sounds good, but I think some YCers may be under 21.

Is this an issue for anyone?

How about Sunday July 20th, 6pm?

As I live/work in Manhattan, I would prefer if it's reachable by subway since I don't have a car. < http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm >.

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town that weekend. However, I don't want to interfere with the group's plans.

What about the weekend after (July 26/27) or the first weekend in August (August 2/3)?

First weekend of August is great for me.

I'm not around on the 20th either.

But please include me in future gatherings (my email address is in my profile).

I live and work in Manhattan and am happy to travel to any of the five boroughs, though I prefer Manhattan and Brooklyn.

I also live in Manhattan (Upper East Side) and work on the island too (Union Square).

I'd also prefer somewhere in Manhattan but would be open for Brooklyn as well.

Live in Brooklyn; Brooklyn and Manhattan are both easy.

Work in Union Sqaure, live in Gramercy. Prefer Manhattan meeting locations.

Manhattan works for me.

I live in Brooklyn myself, but Williamsburg isn't terrible convenient. It's equally inconvenient for people coming from UES/UWS and NJ. It would be best if we picked something equally accessible to everyone - in my experience Union Square West Village are usually good middle grounds.

That said, I'm definitely interested. Don't think I'd be able to do it on 7/20, but we should make it a regular thing (and even rotate location). Can we make a Google Group for this or something?

That's a good point. I went ahead and created a Google Group in the event that this becomes a regular thing (http://groups.google.com/group/nyyc). From here on out I suggest we use the Google forum to suggest locations, dates, etc.

Live in Brooklyn, work in Brooklyn. I'm happy to travel to Manhattan. The title of this post isn't immediately clear, I'd hate to miss out on meeting fellow NYC hackers

I'll try to attend, as will my co-founder. As somebody else mentioned, a 21+ venue might prevent some people from participating. Manhattan is preferred, although Brooklyn is no big deal.

Looks like I've already been RSVP'd, then. See you there!

I'm thinking about taking the Bolt Bus over from Boston. I know Radegast well, I actually used to date a waitress there.

I live in Manhattan (Chelsea). I vote Manhattan, but I'm down for Brooklyn if it's got easy train access.

Anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn would be nice. Preferably closer to a subway station.

I vote for near a subway stop as well. Weeknights or Sundays work best.

Sounds great. I'd love to join. Can you update this by week's end when you've completely settled on a time/location?

Are non-coders welcome or would I be strung up at the door? :)

I hope so?

I hope I don't get left out!

Judging by HN folk, I believe all are welcome.

Everyone is welcome.

Sweet - I'd be in for Manhattan or Brooklyn for sure then.
