oiranOkey-doke. I'm booked. I'm flying on Southwest into Islip/Long Island on Friday, 05/14. I have the entire day to get myself to whatever hotel that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaggirl and I end up staying at, and then I'm going to see Kicky La Rue do her hootchie-cootchie thing at 1:30 AM at the Pussycat Lounge (heh. It looks sleazy!), which is my only set-in-stone plan. In any case, I don't leave until the late afternoon of the 18th (Tuesday), so I have lots of time open to meet with people, see museums, eat, etc.
I'd love it if there'd be some way for all us weary travelers (myself,shaggirl, msdaccxx and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
koimistress being just the out-of-towners I know of) and the locals to get together for drinks, perhaps Saturday evening? I hope that someone in NYC would be willing to help coordinate this (hint, hint kstanley? nerodi?, anybody?)
I want to see the Met, the Guggenheim, and MoMA, though I realize I might not get to see everything, or at least not in as much detail as I'd like. I don't care about Broadway shows or sightseeing tours or anything too official for this trip. I have neither the money nor the interest for "big name" restaurants. I like to get up whenever I get up, do whatever I feel like doing during daylight hours, and make firm plans only for the evening hours, i.e., food, drinks, dancing, go-go boys. I'm looking for the absolutely funnest, most lurid gay club options, so any suggestions in this vein are highly appreciated. Also, if anyone would like to do the museums/clubs/eating, etc. with me/us, I'd welcome the company.
And what kind of weather should a traveler expect in mid-May? I have found on most other trips I've taken in the last few years that I usually wear the same outfit or two the entire time I'm in a new place, so I'm not planning on bringing much if I don't have to.

I have always wanted to go to Baltimore (due to my love of Homicide and now The Wire), and I remember Reet had a good time at Connexions last year, but for some reason I thought it was a con for just Sentinel fans. That's not the case, though, is it? Something to keep in mind for next year, I guess...

I'll email you as soon as I get back. This will be fun! Yippee!
