Your bestt bet is to set a date/time and location a week or two in advance, otherwise you'll just have a repeat of what happened today.

Btw, AsherO, IIRC when arranging the last nyc ddf do there was a limit to the amount of participants.  Was there any special reason for that?

Dan was present and he didn't want to meet with 50 people.

Even without that a DO isn't a reunion to meet and greet. You can't have a meaningful discussion with too many people.

Also general rule of thumb if you put a limit on participants , you have a bigger chance of success.

I agree on all points, even though the first offical NYC DO was with 25+ participants and it was definitely more of a meet and greet. The second one (which Dan attended) was much more intimate and conducive to dialogue.

Tempting. If I can find a ride in from NYC on that Sunday (assuming you're aiming for a Sunday) after 3pm... Just for the record, DDFers (myself included) are much less impressive in person ;)

I could just envision this going through peoples mind. That ( weirdo , chusid , schlob , bum - you get the gist) is who I'm conversing with and respecting his knowledge and opinions. I think it would be a solid lesson in the pitfalls of labeling others through dress and affiliation.

I was actually quite fascinated at the breadth of types of people I met at the NYC DOs earlier this year.
Always had good conversation and good times. (And good food!)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Wow you're all 4 ;D
I know enough about you that your for sure not a Ch"U"sid maybe a Ch"O"sid.

I think the point I was making and the lesson I was relaying  was clear enough,   and that I didn't mean anyone or type specifically. Sorry if I'm not that articulate and clear.
