We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Manhattan nights

I’m going to be on the road again this month, so I don’t know how much posting I’ll be doing for a few weeks. It is the perk and the curse of being a freelance consultant. The upside is lots of travel and interesting people. The downside is lots of travel: sometimes three or even six months at a stretch away from home. The other downside is spending months at home between jobs with little to do but learn new and interesting ways of convincing the landlord not to put you out on the street.

This will be a short trip. I’ll be doing a job in San Francisco for a week and then back to Manhattan for a few days before coming home. On the San Fran end I simply won’t have time for anything – it will be 12 hour days netcasting a major business conference for which failure is not an option. As soon as we load out, we catch a Redeye flightback to the East Coast.

If any Manhattan bloggers are interested, I will have some free evening time there between January 16th and 22nd. (I have been known to frequent the Trad music haunts of the Lower East). If you miss me, don’t worry all that much: I’ve a regular customer there and pass through once or twice in almost every year.

  • Dale, too bad you can’t meet up on your San Francisco trip. On your Manhattan leg, I think you’d probably enjoy meeting my good friend Perry Metzger, if you don’t already know him. Let me know and I’ll put you in touch with him.

  • I will be back in New York after Jan 9th (I am making a week long trip to the land of mystery know as Washington DC) .

    Given your interest in Space matters it would be fun to get together and chat about RLVs and Bush’s possible new space policy.

    Send me an e mail with you coordinates and we can meet.

    I’m on the upper west side but it’s fairly easy for me to get around.

    Have a good trip.

    I second Russell’s comments. Lemme know if you’re ever in SF & have time to meet.
