United States of America Meetings and Events

I will be in NY May 14-16. I wonder if anyone would be interested in going out for a coffee/drinks or salsa dancing?

I will be in San Francisco Friday and Saturday, and would love to meet up with any local or travelling VTer?s!

I would suggest Calzones, at 430 Columbus Av.
Time: 8pm

Last time we had some great fun there, as you can see here:

If you have any other good suggestions please let me know and we readjust the meeting place.

I am going to the Philadelphia Air Force Week during May 26 - June 2 (http://www.airforceweekinphiladelphia.com). I already found VTer Benwrite who will be working at the Air Force events & just wondering if anyone else would like to meet in the evening for a drink.
Drop me an email if you are interested and we will decide the place & Time.

It will probably be the most crucial match of the year for Oranje - our second game in the "group of death" against the favourites France.

Bring your Oranje kits, paint your face, settle down at the PH sports bar with a bottle of "heerlijk, helder, Heineken" and support your team!!

Planet Hollywood Resort - Sports Books/Bar

I'll be in town for a week and would love to go out for dinner/a drink or two, whatever. No definite plans, but preferrably somewhere with air conditioning! Saturday night works good for me, so far, but it can be changed.

VT meeting for early summer in NYC will be on June 21. Dining for lunch will be at Metro Marche French Braserrie. Its a french style restaurant with decent prices. We have a nicely priced pre-fixe menu of about $24.95 a person. This is actually the best way to do this. Its located in Times Square. Address is 625 8th Avenue at 41st Street. Commencement of the luncheon will be at 12:00. Would like confirmations 1-2 weeks prior to date. This way, there will be enough time to make changes if need be.

Please join me in welcoming VT member 'Soulanjuli' back from over a year of service in Iraq. It's been awhile since we've had a local event and I can't think of a better reason to celebrate this summer.

This is a great place with a view of water,lots of fruity drinks, and cool live music. Great happy hour drinks and food from 4-7.We have a VIP reserved booth from 4-8. Afterwards we can kick it there or walk over to the Auld Dubliner for drinks and an Irish band.

Have I ever let you down?

Matcrazy 1 and his lovely wife Matcrazy 0 are coming to Chicago in July and I thought it would be nice to have a meeting to welcome them to Chicago. Since the Crazies are doing a tour of Polish Chicago with a Chicago Greeter in the morning, the Greeter thought it would be nice to have lunch at a Polish restaurant afterward. Please meet us at 12:15pm at:

Red Apple (Czerwone Jabluszko)
3121 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60618
Tel. 773.588.5781

Red Apple is a Polish buffet, the cost is $10.99

If you are taking public transportation, the closest el station is Belmont on the Blue line (make sure you are on the blue line going towards O'Hare as there is another Belmont stop on the Brown line)

Part II of Matcrazy1 and Matcrazy0's VT meetings has been changed because of the Chicago Greeter that I was able to set up, Polish food is now on Saturday. For Sunday, it's a two parter, 1st let's meet at the corner of State and Chicago ABOVE GROUND at the Chicago red line stop at 10:30 am for a ride down to Chinatown for their summer festival, we'll grab dim sum for lunch, watch the parade.

Then the Crazies and I have tickets for the White Sox, I have one extra ticket if anyone is interested and the best part is that it is free :-)

Part II will be deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's River North location at 439 N. Wells at 5:30.

I will be in Las Vegas on Tuesday July 29 wednesday July 30 & Thursday July 31 2008 .
If anyone happens to be in Vegas during that time or close by in the area ,why not have a drink or lunch or dinner together .
Write me an E-mail if you are interested .

Hi I will travel to Buffalo on July and I´d like to meet some interesting people who could show me what can be done by night.

Thanx a lot Mike

All Carolinians and Virginians, Georgians, hell anywhere in the South: Pay heed! A VT meet is in the making. Apparently there haven't been many (if ANY!) VT meets in the NC area, so be a part of VT History! Come one - come all... bring guests and your great travel spirit!

We plan to have a leisurely meal on Saturday August 23rd around 1pm. It will be at The Federal (http://www.thefederal.net/menu/menu.html)

FEDERAL: 914 West Main Street Durham NC 27701 ph# 919.680.8611

Seems like it has about everything we could ask for: Reasonable enough prices & interesting menu plus a full bar.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Gates open at 11:00 and the music starts at 12:00. I'll be in the dance tent located beside the concession stands most all day. The weather promises to be great.
See the tip on my page there is a link to the rhythm and roots home page there for more details.

Hi,
I would be in Roswell, New Mexico from 20 Oct until 14 Nov 2008 on a seminar and would be staying at the Best Western Sally Port Inn during this duration.

Would love to meet any VT members from Roswell, or any VT members staying nearby and passing by Roswell, during this duration.

I am a Malaysian, 54 years old and works for the government. I can be contacted through this e-mail or through ivan9220@yahoo.com ......

Hope to meet you fine people out there [ minus the aliens, of course !!! ].

Regards,

Ivan Christie Jeremiah.

Hey VT folk!

I'm coming to town! After having spent 4 nights in Vegas I will hit the (relative) calm of Redondo Beach on 1 November.

I've taken a wander through the nightlife tips on VT - seems like there's options to choose from all the way up to Santa Monica.

Suggestions for a place to hook up with the wonderful Californian VTers would be gratefully appreciated - accessible from Redondo Beach by a non-driver.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!!

Hey VT folk!

I'm coming to town! After having spent 4 nights in Vegas and 3 nights in LA (well, Redondo Beach) I will hit the beautiful calm of Dana Point on 4 November.

I haven't had a chance to take a wander through the nightlife tips on VT yet so I'm totally open to suggestions for a place to hook up with the wonderful Californian VTers. Though we could meet around 7:00pm for a meal and then head somewhere for a few drinks - whatever everyone fancies!

Looking forward to meeting you guys!!

Hey VT folk!

I'm coming to town! I'm heading down the from Vegas over to LA and down the coast and will arrive in San Diego on 6 November. So I thought maybe the party folk of San Diego could show me the highlights of a Saturday night!

I haven't had a chance to look at any of the nightlife tips for San Diego on VT but I'm sure you locals will know the hippest hoppest joints to visit!

Suggestions for a place to hook up with the wonderful Californian VTers would be gratefully appreciated - I'll be staying in Old Town without transport.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!!

Vinoy Park St Petersburg Florida. Live Music (Doobie Brothers, Styx, Little River Band and others) and World Class Barbecue. Festival info is available at www.ribfest.org. Feel free to email me with questions, suggestions or whatever. It appears to have all the makings of a great festival event - looks like a great time. So please, sign on if you're in the neighborhood that weekend. Hope to see you there...( the beer isn't really free, but the first round is on me)
