Wilkommen in New York, pipedream! You will definitely give our Broncho a certain jet-setting glamour. 8)
Here's a website with some hotel info (the Hotel Newton is fairly reasonably priced and is in my neighborhood): http://www.newyorkhotel.com. But you may want to wait til some other Bronchers check this thread just in case they can offer you a spare bed.
Can't wait to say howdy in person! :D

Meryl, thanks for that link! I just made my reservation at the Hotel Newton for one night (sunday to monday). Jenny will let me stay at her place for the other nights. She rocks (you rock, Jenny!!!).
I am so looking forward to meeting you guys. Got the gummi-bears already. Got a new haircut already ("Boys don't cry"-style...). Getting excited. Sheep be damned.
See ya!
:) 8) :)

Hey Jeff Wrangler: Have you checked train schedules yet? The options for Amtrak are pretty limited via Hartford on a Saturday. I can catch a train in that arrives at Penn Station at 10:50 AM, but the departures are 4:30 pm or 8:00pm.
Pipedream:
Concerning the T-Shirt thing, what about something like:
International Brokie Brunch
April 29th NYC
Redlined it all the way,
couldn't get there fast enough!
You got a better idea? Hunh??
???

Thanks for asking, David. Yes, and no. I took a quick look when this brunch was first discussed, and I was going to make a more detailed look at work tomorrow/Friday (the boss is out Friday afternoon. ... ;) ). Thing is, I'm in Philadelphia here, so every train on the Northeast Corridor running between Washington and Boston goes through here. There is at least one train that will get me into Penn Station about the same time as you, 10:56 a.m.. I have not yet looked into any trains to get back home. That's been concerning me because it's difficult to estimate when one will want to leave, and, as I've been complaining, all the Corridor trains are by reservation these days.
It's even possible for me to make the trip by commuter rail, changing at Trenton, but that takes forever.
For me it's the train or not at all. I live right in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, and it's too expensive to keep a car.
