So what is it you people hate about coming to New York, anyway?
I got a note this week from The Bruce saying that if I was to be in Boston this weekend, so was he, and we could meet up. For whatever reason, it got me to thinking about how long it's been since I've seen any of you, my regular readers, and the pattern that ensued is as follows:
| Name | Last Seen... | ... In ... |
|---|---|---|
| Matt & Celeste | Jul 11 2005 | Cambridge, MA |
| Jay & Eileen | Jul 8 2005 | Boston |
| Matt & Julia | May 6 2005 | Oakland |
| Toby Mandel | Apr 21 2005 | Washington, DC |
| Liz Clough | Apr 21 2005 | Washington, DC |
| Angie Unruh | Apr 21 2005 | Washington, DC |
| Matt & Allyson | Apr 17 2005 | Las Vegas |
| Update: Mark Coen | Mar 25 2005 | Worcester, MA |
| Mark & Sarah Coen | Jan 3 2005 | Boston |
| Jon Couture | Jan 3 2005 | Boston |
[Nick & Katie, you don't count. You live here.]
Based on the data shown, I have no choice but to insist you come visit. Each and every one of you. If you want to do it separately, that's fine, or if you'd rather have some sort of convention-type affair that can also be arranged.
Millions of people from all over the world come to New York, and they don't even know me. Why not you guys? More than that, though, my travelling has been seriously curtailed (see previous post) making it harder to justify a trip out to see anyone in a while. I don't want to have to go a whole year (Jon, I'm looking your way...) without picking on you in person.

Anyway, why should we come see you when clearly we are all adept at getting together with you wherever you might be? Heck, when you come to Boston you can see me, Matt, Mark, Sarah and Jon all at once.

Posted by: Cooch at August 16, 2005 02:13 AMI wonder when I'll next be invited to a wedding in New York (if ever).
As of this weekend, Massachusetts retook the lead from California among states in which I've attended a wedding reception. (Massachusetts and California remain tied at 2-2 among states in which I've attended a wedding ceremony, thanks to the state-line-crossing Harper-Nixons.)
