Well, we'll definitely set up some kind of get-together for everybody. Mark - I'll send you a PM in the next day or two and we'll come up with some options for times we can get together. Gonna be fun meeting people!

BTW, you and Andromaque need to clear your schedules towards the end of March. I'm coming to NYC and expect to meet flesh and blood versions of the two of you. (And others who may be around...) Poor Andromaque...getting put on the spot like this. You know, there are some of us, and Andromaque may be one, who aren't really looking for real life social contacts via PW. Crossing the online/meat-life divide isn't everyone's idea of a good time.

Very true -- and I can relate. For the most part that's how I feel too. For the extreme most part.  And it's essentially why I don't do PM.

I understand, but PMs do have their place, and I have PM'd with Andromaque a number of times. She is an awesome individual. Also the 'other' Jason, most recently when I went to pieces after hearing some Chopin etudes -okay I did not listen long enough to figure it out- but sometimes one needs to just privately talk. That seems fair enough.

....Also the 'other' Jason.... Actually there's 2 other Jasons (as you probably know!) -- and all 3 of you are right here on this thread.  And probably that's not even counting a whole lot of others who aren't on the thread yet....

And there are a number of other folk I have PM'd with. They know who they are. This is getting confusing, methinks it time for bed. But a great topic on the Chopin Op 25/1. Cheers to all my friends here.

We'll start working on something and I'll put a sticky up here later for those interested. Y'all are also welcome to FB me.

Crossing the online/meat-life divide isn't everyone's idea of a good time. I’m with you! And FWIW it seems questionable for a moderator to single members out by name for a social invite. It has an *appearance* of cronyism and favoritism - *especially so* here given who one of those members is.

I imagine if there were another frequent poster that lists NY in their displayed info, Kreisler may have mentioned them too. However, I like to think of you guys as my "imaginary friends" (per Gooddog's husband) and not too sure I'd want to change that status. All my real friends think I'm a good pianist.  (I did consider that European trip, though)

Andromaque is welcome to totally ignore me and this thread. I totally understand not wanting to mix virtual and real life. My sister is an elementary principal, my mother was a social worker and juvenile officer, my wife is a physician, and my father was a police officer. As a musician, I like FB because so many of my friends and connections are geographically separated. But I totally understand that many people's lives are not enhanced and in many cases endangered by maintaining an known online presence.

Yes, but to those of us who are socially minded in real life, meeting and sharing music with our "imaginary friends" could be a wonderful, memorable time. I get the idea that national conferences, competitions and local piano parties are the vehicle for this. While I have no desire to take the competition stage, I'd love the opportunity to tickle the ivories with my imaginary friends!

Maybe sit back, drink beers, and watch baseball? Well no. Super Bore Bowl tomorrow, but will leave that to others. I am going to an organ recital at St. Mark's (Episcopal) Cathedral tomorrow. The programme looks to be awesome. Can't wait! Bach and Liszt... and a dollop of the crusty Frenchman Alexandre Guilmant, should be fun.
