P3D Stereo Dinner *tomorrow* in Manhattan

[Tom Deering <tmd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that things have calmed down from the holidays, why not stop by 
to share some stereo slides with an appreciative audience?

If you've never come by, this is how it works:  People stop after 
work, usually between 6:30 and 7:30.  They often bring some slides or 
photos to share with the table.  We've had 2x2, 5-perf, medium 
format, Loreo prints, stereo cards and other formats.  Sometimes 
people just come to look at the stereo pictures, and that's okay, 
too.  Cameras and other apparatus also show up from time to time.

We put the pictures away (mostly) when dinner arrives, and chat about 
techniques, formats, cameras--the sky's the limit.  As the table is 
cleared off the pictures come back out.  People leave when they like, 
usually between 9:30 and 11:00. It's always a good time.

It's a friendly scene, usually 5-8 people, maybe as many as ten on a 
big night.  The table is small enough so you can hear other people 
and they can hear you.  But big enough to support 2-3 conversations 
at once. It's a very personable evening.

We always meet on the third Friday of every month at La Cocina, at 
85th and Broadway.  They make excellent Mexican food; the best, 
really.  It's nicely decorated upstairs and down, and not at all 
expensive. There are several good, big meals on the menu for under 
ten bucks.  We often get a section to ourselves, so we have some room 
to spread out.  The hostess will cheerfully point us out; we are the 
table having the most fun.

Join us tomorrow, Dec 21, at La Cocina, 217 West 85th Street, just 
off Broadway.

Tom

"NEW YORK (AP) -- After the 21st century dawned without a crippling 
Y2K catastrophe, some people branded the millennium bug an 
exaggerated threat, a huge angst-washed waste of money that got 
mounds more attention than it deserved. "
