Geocache Description:

No, this isn't a meeting of the Teetotalers Section of the He-Man Woman-Haters Club. It's a very informal get-together/mid-winter social to be held beginning at 6:00 p.m. on March 5, 2004 at McSorley's Old Ale House at 15 East 7th Street, NYC.

PLANET MEETS THE MAYOR!

For those without a GPSr: McSorley's is on 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues not far from Cooper Union. Subway is the best way - the No. 6 to the Astor Place stop.

This is a good opportunity to thaw out from attending the St. Valentine's Day M.A.S.S.A.C.R.E. cache since this event will be held indoors and you may fortify yourself with the wide variety of beers offered at McSorley's: light or dark.

Bring nothing but bonhomie and your wallet, purse or European carry-all. This is McSorley's so no children, no assigned seating, no reserved tables and the definite possibility of a long line on Friday night. It's catch as catch can so try to get there early and wear some geomerchandise or give the secret Irish (the person, not the ethnic group) hand gesture (no, the other one) to distinguish yourself from the beer-swilling legions of muggles that frequent this museum.

Wassailing shall commence promptly followed by the telling of war stories, the spreading of idle gossip, the airing of grievances (real and imagined) and the circulating of rumors as to the identity of NJ Admin. If you can't make it, don't sweat it, we'll just talk about you at the event. (It's more fun when there's no rebuttal!). And remember, although not yet an Olympic event, drinking is nevertheless not a spectator sport. Please bring proper safety equipment.

So the evening's not a total waste, you will have an opportunity to claim a find on Markwell's traveling Photographer's Cache which is currently in residence at McSorley's. Just be sure to follow that cache's requirements and bring your GPSr, a camera and your winning smile to claim your smiley. Be sure to submit your find by March 7 because, after that date, this traveling cache will be rambling on.

Please note that the day for submissions has been moved up from the 12th to the 7th!!!

There are also some virtuals a short stumble away.

Feel free to bring travel bugs to exchange as well as signature items to distribute and to amaze and impress your peers with your arts and crafts skills.

P.S. Notwithstanding the title, women are invited, in part due to a federal court order issued some thirty years ago but mostly because they're more fun. Sorry, ladies, but McSorley's does not serve Cosmopolitans (pink or otherwise) or other fru-fru drinks. Frankly, after last year's dismal performance, there is a question whether McSorley's would serve Metropolitans either.
