INCOMING!!!!!!!!! (NYC edition)

[mangosteen]

I will be down in NYC from 12/7 until 12/15 helping to run the network for a very large networking conference.

To give you an idea how big it is, I'll use the languages of some of my readers:
Bostonian: "It's a wikkid big conference!"
New Yorker: "Da conference is fuckin' hyooooge!"
British: "Well, I suppose the conference is not small at all."
Californian: "Dude, that conference? Yeah. It's hella big."
Northern Virginian: "Yeah. The conference is pretty big. AND YOU CAN'T CARRY CONCEALED THERE EITHER, YOU NANNY-STATE LIBERAL!"
中文： 会议很大。

So, while I will be spending most of my time running around like a madman inside what I believe to be the largest contiguous enclosed space in Manhattan, I want to see as many of you as I possibly can, once I figure out what my schedule looks like (honestly, I really have no idea at the moment beyond "show up for orientation at this place at this time").

Ergo......
IF you're going to be in NYC between 12/8 and 12/14* inclusive
AND you'd like to hang out with me, see me, etc. during that time,
AND if you're not 100% sure that I have contact info for you,
PLEASE fill out the following poll:**


[Poll #626748]

* I'll be in transit on the 7th and 15th, and likely not up for much.
** Alternately, if putting that info in an LJ poll creeps you out a bit much, send mail to my actual last name at gmail.com

I like the NoVA one, although I would have put it: "Oh, yeah. This is conference is going to be tiny. Tiny like a Halliburton contract." (Sarcasm + Beltway reference = NoVA speak)

Since you had a space limit, here are times we could hang out:

-8:15pm on ward on the 8th (you are welcome to come over for nosh)
-If you want to hang out on the 12th I'll come back from MA earlier (I'm off that day).
-Currently free on the 13th and 14th (but work will be getting hectic)

Minnesota: "That's quite a conference you got there. Some people might say it's pretty big. Compared with the other ones. [run fingers through hair]

i thought it was "you know, a lotta guys might think that's a big conference."

Would love to see you! I have stuff to give you! (well, it's for your mom, but whatever). The 10th and 11th are bad for me, but I think other days are all good. There may be an update or two on that...

short shameful confession: i've never been to interop.

Until the one in Vegas earlier this year, neither had I.

I only ended up on the NOC Team for this one because I walked by the (plexiglas-enclosed) NOC bullpen area, and saw (at least) three of my NANOG homies, at which point I was invited in, introduced to the guy who ran the NOC Team, and it all went downhill from there.
