As you may already know, a bunch of NRO writers: including Rich, Kate, Ramesh, Jay, Byron, and more will be hanging at a Big Apple bar tonight, right before the convention gets under way.

WHERE? The place to be from 4-7 on 8/30/04 will be Turtle Bay Grill and Lounge. It’s at 987 Second Avenue (between 52nd and 53rd Street); www.turtle-bay.com.

WHAT DO TO? RSVP to [email protected] if you’re planning on attending. (Please put Turtle Bay in the subject line.) All are welcome–pass this one to your favorite delegates, speakers, and NYers.

IF you already RSVPEd, you’re good. I know I missed e-mailing a few who asked for confirmations back. It’s really casually, anyhow. RSVPing was just to get a rough headcount. Thanks! See you tonight.
