Thanks Sol. I understand more than you know. I was not seeking shelter, shade, drink or food (I can get those on my own or just as well go with out) only a good reason for a music/singing party. I'd sleep in the gutter for a chance to be partying in NYC with the loads of friends that I see you've listed. If we're all gonna be getting togther Sunday from noon till 5, I see a party the night before as much a top shelf social event & as a good reason to get all those New Yorkers out of their slumber buns. Someone has to warm them up before they open their mouths to sing.
