Title: Post Show Meet Up
Post by: Keith Whitener on July 09, 2009, 02:32:34 PM
A few years ago I attended a post show meet up that Tom held in Jersey City. How often was/is this done?

It's a shame I live 300 miles away. I suppose I can go to one of the local dive bars and experience the same thing, though.

I selfishly vote for not that week because it coincides with my first out-of-town vacation in a bazillion years. Unless everyone wants to meet up in Puerto Rico.

Maybe the meet-up should just be at Gonerfest.  Maybe the FOTs should buy Tom a plane ticket.

I would like to go to this whenever it happens—so long as it's in Jersey City, or at least the Tri-State area.
