NO, THIS EVENT IS NOT IN CAVE-IN-ROCK, ILLINOIS: As noted in a few threads previously, some NYC ThingThrowers, including myself, are gathering this weekend. Current plan is to meetup at the American Museum of Natural History (North/Rose Center entrance) around 2 PM on Saturday afternoon and hang out there for a few hours, followed by burgers, beverages, and other deliciousness across the street at Shake Shack after the museum closes at 5:45 (additional merriment may follow). Folks are welcome to join for either or both parts of the event. Feel free to hit me up on Twitter if you want/need more info.

    DC threadjack:  I've received just two emails from DC-area Throwers.  If you want to be included in emails re: a DC meetup, send me a note at russhanser at yahoo dot com.

    This NY-area ThingThrower has an 8-day old in the house, so will alas have to pass. I'm also bummed that the roundtable intro post happened while I was . . . occupied.

    I'll be in town visiting and will be there.  I also plan to be one of the instigators of any post-Shake Shack shenenanigans.  It's a Saturday night in the city that never sleeps and I'm on vacation.  Way-hey.

    I am unlikely to be there as I am overbooked this weekend.  However, if my other plans coincide on the UWS, I'll buzz you, Matt.

    I'm going to try to do a bit of museum time and then sneak off to work and meet up for drinks after. Watts, you'll keep me posted as to your location, yes?

    Oh man, I wish I could go!  I've been wanting an NYC Thing Thrower gathering.  Alas, I've already made plans to go apple picking on Saturday.

    <span>Okay, so let's plan a Brooklyn Thing Thrower gathering!  We can meet in hipsterville or really anywhere that people suggest - unless you don't make a suggestion and then I'll pick a place.  Who's in?</span>

    KR - I'll be staying in Brooklyn Fri-Mon, so if your schedule opens up and you want to stay local, give me a buzz.

    In so many ways, when I'm at the reference desk I do not come across as me.

    Yes, I would love a Brooklyn (or another Manhattan) gathering, just anytime after this weekend! I'm back on the red-eye sunday night/monday AM, and then am not leaving the 5 boroughs again til Thanksgiving.

    Brooklyn suggestions: Pacific Standard on 4th Ave (just a couple blocks south of Atlantic Terminal, near LOTS of trains), in hipsterville, I like the Roebling Tea Room (Roebling & Metropolitan).

    Thank you, Watts - but I live in Brooklyn!  I just have a friend in town, a wedding, a dinner and tix to Kathy Griffin!

    Looking forward to seeing some thing-throwers at the museum at 2pm (will there be a sign?  A carnation in Matt's lapel?  Inquiring minds want to know.)  Can't stay very long, the ball-in-chain will be watching the rug rats and they will be napping at two, but since the meet-up in the the 'hood anyway, figured it might be nice to see some of the real-life-internets people.

    Kate - I'm easy to spot - I'm only 4'10" and am likely to be wearing purple cowboy boots.  Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.

    OOh, I went up to Warwick Winery two weeks ago and the leaves were JUST beginning to change. It was gorgeous. I bet this weekend is going to be extraordinary. Enjoy! The apples are delish.

    I think I will try to be there as well. NYC is about new adventures for me, and this is as good of one as I can imagine...

    Dude, do you have ANY idea how many people in NYC have purple boots and are 4'10"?

    Hi KR,

    An excellent time was had by all.  I was only able to stay for two hours, but it was nice to meet everyone.

    Agreed--all were lovely people, as you'd expect!  We'll do it again for those who couldn't make it!
