I was there!!!! I got there around 7.00 and waitd for 40 minunes

I didn't see anybody, even spent sometime talking to a couple of people in the bar; some guy was in pretty god drag and one blond girl in a white costume.

Anyway....since I didn't see anyone i went to see the parade and tried to have a good time. Hopefully the next meeting will be more succesful

That's terrible if two or more of you were there within feet of each other
without realising it. Take a tip from us guys: A tiny bit of pre-planning will avoid that next time. Either give each other a little bit of description of yourselves, or do what we also do and post your cellphone numbers beforehand!

Better luck next time!

Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Mobile phone numbers are a must to exchange beforehand.

OK. We tried. Let's try again!

I know I am guilty too. I said I was interested in a meet and I did not show.

I think there were a few basic problems from the start.

#1. A Sunday is not the best time for me. I am almost 2 hours from New York City. Saturday would be great for me.

#2. The time. 7pm is too late to start, especially on a sunday.

#3. The Holiday. Halloween is a good time for getting your feet wet (pun intended), but I had plans locally for halloween.

Now lets see who is interested in trying it again.

I would suggest we meet around noon on a saturday for lunch. I would hope one of our members living in NYC or very close, can choose an informal place for us. We can eat, chat and get to know each other a bit.

Then perhaps someone can suggest a few places to go. I know 8th street was the "Shoe District" a few years ago. Is it still? I know NYC offers tons of shopping places but I am not real familiar with the city myself. Perhaps a trip to Barney's, or Century 21 (which I hear has many many shoes), or even a visit to some tourist attraction.

I could see us visiting a museum, or other tourist attractions during the later afternoon. Or just some general shopping. I know NYC has lots of great bookstores and other fun stores.

Then we can end our day with dinner, perhaps by 5 or 6 pm. We can discuss any purchases we made, enjoy a meal and each others company.
Say our goodbye's and look forward to the next meeting.

I think we need to plan ahead, so, how does March 5, 2005 sound?

This could be a lot of fun. So let's do it!

Damn, I would go, but I'll be out of the country from 2/22 till 3/12.

New York City Heel Meet.

Looks like by popular request, we are scheduling our meeting for March 19, 2005. It does sound like a long way away, but we want to plan it out a bit and make it work this time!

We are hoping to meet at A To Be Determined restaurant at noon. Probably in the village area. We will get to know each other of a casual lunch.

I think we all would like to do some shopping, or at least looking. So any suggestions are welcome, Please. 8th street keeps coming up as a good place to start for heel shopping.

Any other suggestions for the afternoon? Then we can finish with dinner.

SPREAD THE WORD !

I'd love to participate, but I have a wedding to attend in Washington state two weeks prior... I can't afford to take more days off as this trip to Washington will take six days out of me in March!

I wish you all the best of luck, I'll be there in spirit. I might go to downtown New Orleans in my heels and enjoy myself there...

I will be there. If any body else wil be there Please PM me so we can swap phone numbers so we will recognise each other and not repeat the last one. Pam and I were probobly within 2 feet of eachother and we did not know it.
