About average I guess.  My wife and I, Tom and his wife, one of my
wife's co-workers and Greg Dinkins from the NYSS.  Attendence varies
greatly.  Some months there are a dozen or so and others there are
just three or four of us.  I think attendence might have been a bit
off because Tom's second notice didn't make it out on photo-3d until
the day after.  This probably had something to do with the problems
Bob Wier was having over the weekend.  I also think that there may not
be that many NYC stereographers online.

Well if we try this in NYC the bar will have to be much shorter,
probably about three feet and hand held.  I may set something up using
the monorail from my Bender 4x5 camera.  Given that the crowds will
be shoulder to shoulder, there won't be any space to set up a tripod,
let alone two.  If we go out of the city (perhaps to Long Island or
the New Jersey shore), then the two tripods and a long bar will be
more doable.  This gives me a great excuse to get that second tripod
and head I've been thinking about.
