A new week has dawned, the work week begins tommorrow, but there is
something to look forward to - on Friday begins THE BOINK WITH NO NAME.

Okay all of you soc.singles types (posters and lurkers) in just 5 days
there is going to be a Boink in NYC that promises to be lots of fun.
It's not to late to say yes, in fact, you could just show up (BUT, it
would be nice in terms of finding a place to crash if you let me know
so that you could have some space and to know where we're meeting and all).

This is not an exclusive event.  Other than it's primarily a
soc.singles type thing and for people who can physically make it to
NYC/NJ, it is open to anyone - REALLY!  Take a break, have some fun,
come to THE BOINK WITH NO NAME (read on for details).

Some basic terminology for those who do _*not*_ know what a
'boink' is or know some OTHER definition - like having sex:

Now that your minds are out of the gutter ...

BOINK = large soc.singles gathering where people, who've read and/or
	post to soc.singles <from the hyper-active ala Larry Margolis
	to your garden-variety lurker types>, congregate for a weekend
	to meet and enjoy the company of other people from the
	newsgroup.
 
Now to the details as they stand:

"THE BOINK WITH NO NAME"

DATES: July 31st - August 2nd 1992
LOCATION: Various sites around NYC and Haledon, NJ

AGENDA:

  * pick-up/escort from various transportation locations will be
    arranged (airports,train stations, bus depot). People if you need
    to be met at a location MAIL me with details and someone will meet
    you or will give you directions on how to get someplace to be met! 

Friday: Gathering at Larry Margolis' and proceeding to the "No Name
	Bar" (or Bar to be named later - the No Name has gone missing
	until the wee hours. 
 
Saturday:  Dim Sum Brunch
	   BBQ Picnic and Party at Eleanor Evans' (PIGLET) House 

Sunday: Circle Line Tour of Manhatten

  * drop-off/escort to various transportation locations will be

Miscelaneous:   Informal trips to Chinatown, the Village, Museums can
  		be arranged as interest is expressed.  In other words,
		if you want to do something when you get to the Boink
		let me know!!

 
ACCOMODATIONS: 	We still have some spaces in asst beds, floor space (BYOSB -
		bring your own sleeping bag), tents (BYOSB) at three
		of the local soc.singlers [interested locals - if you
		have space let me know].  Hotel accomodations can be
		recommended as interest and need arises [people, if
		you can afford an inexpensive hotel ~$40 night or
		want something more plush than a floor space - let the
		'starving grad. students' have the free spece].


PARKING:	For those of you who want to drive to the city - and
		are close to NJ - there will be some parking space at
		Eleanor's (even if you're not staying there).

	
Please mail me (haroome@rodan.acs.syr.edu) if you are interested in
showing up for what will be a fun time and if you need space,
directions, or whatever!!!
