| [OT] New York M&G at Rye Playland!
In taking feedback from everyone, we are trying to rotate these meetings so they encompass a wider geographic area thus allowing "other than Long Islanders" to participate.
That does not mean we can't still hit the wineries one time this year, but if we do this one at Rye, perhaps another one at 30 Rock and one in New Jersey, we can get more people to attend.
Jwersan and I along with anyone else who wants to help out will set this up for the May to June time-frame.
Volunteers?
Anyone interested in attending? |

Im in like Charlie Sheen on a Cambodian hooker.
Here's the specs on the park:
Hours on Saturday (I assume we'd go on a Sat) are 10-6 on May 3, 12-9 on the 10th and the 17th, and 12-12 for the rest of the summer.
Admission is free, however, there are ride charges. If you get a ticket book, its a buck per ticket. Some rides are one ticket, some are a few. You can also get a ride bracelet, which is unlimited for 6 hours, for $35 (sounds like Verizon's definition of "unlimited"). If we somehow manage to get 20 people in on this, we can get group rates.
Here are the details for the MTA package:
Metro North Package (great savings!)
For any futher information regarding this 2008 package, you must
call: 1-800-Metro-Info or if in NYC (212)532-4900
Package is valid from May 10 through September 7 and includes:
* Round-trip rail fare from Grand Central Station, 125th St. or
Fordham Stations
* $4 Metro Card for the Round-trip Route 75 Shuttle Bus from Rye Station to Playland*
* One Playland Fun Card Coupon
(20 points with 4 free rides for adults; 15 points with 3 free rides for children, seniors and disabled)
Redeem Fun Card Coupon at any Playland Sales Booth, except Group Sales
* One Playland Beach/Pool Discount Coupon for $1 Off
* One Playland Bonus Coupon for an additional 2 free rides with the purchase of an additional $30 Fun Card.
*Package Prices below include a $4 MetroCard for Adults and Children 5-11. If a customer has a valid Metro Card to use for bus fare, the Package Price will be reduced accordingly.

I'd go to Rye, it just has to be in late may, like around the 20th or so. Finals and term papers have me rolling in paper for the next few weeks.
