If we're definitely on for Sunday, I will PM some others who seem to have missed this thread. Bethc, thought's on locale? We should PM and put it down in ink.
Dagnabbit! I was just in NYC for sample sales last week and don't know if I can get back before Christmas, and I'll be driving to Florida between Christmas and the New Year. Phooey.
I'll be flying in for the spring sample sale at H, though, if we want to start thinking ahead...
Hah! Tell me about it. When I took the train into the city last Wednesday, it was the day of the heavy rains and wind/freak tornado in the Rye/New Rochelle area. Blew a billboard and several trees over onto the tracks, and I had to detrain the Acela and get on the Metro North local from Stamford to NYC. Blech. And when I got to Grand Central, it was raining SIDEWAYS and I had to stand in a 20-deep queue to get a cab to my hotel. Fun it was not.
And of course I packed for warm-ish, rainy weather, and after the rains came and went, NYC was a good 25 degrees colder, and WINDY. Brrrr. Made window shopping on 5th Avenue kind of a blustery winter funland, though.
