The time approaches, July draws to a close and August looms large on
the horizon, it's time for the "Boink with No Name" <musical
crescendo>.  It began with a vision - that one day, there would be a
boink on the east coast so all of us on this side of the continental
divide and east of the Mississippi River could congregate and frolic
with other soc.singles people.  But the vision faded, there were none
willing or brave enough to undertake the task of putting it all
together.  Then a glimmer of hope appeared, a committee was formed -
their calendars consulted, a date set, activites planned - a "Boink
with No Name" was born.  Don't let this vision die, if you believe
then come to "THE BOINK WITH NO NAME"

First some basic terminology for those who do _*not*_ know what a
'boink' is or know some OTHER definition:

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 Paramus, 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' 7- 8 pm and proceeding to "The
        Slaughtered Lamb" (182 W. 4th St.) in the West Villiage
        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
    arranged (airports, train stations, bus depot).

Miscellaneous:  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@mailbox.syr.edu) if you are interested in
showing up for what will be a fun time!  We need to get some numbers
to book the CircleLine tour and DimSum space so indicate in your
response Positive or Tenative and if you need more information.

If I forgot anything I'm sure Larry Margolis, Paul Wallich, or Piglet
(once she gets net.access again) will add it or tell me to add it ...
Please let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know
