Buying Prog in NYC

[Poth]

Thanks again to everyone for their advice. Particularly indebted to VAXman in his attempts not to get me butchered and bin-bagged in the streets of Newark. I think I'll stay in the main city. I'll still trawl around the used shops in the village looking for jazz etc, so you never know. Finally, what a fantastic thing AM is - it could never exist over here; if a radio station doesn't have a brainless megaphone foghorning at people telling them what packaged pap to listen to, the listeners' minds go into meltdown. Anyway, hooray for prog. Cheerio.

Are you in NYC for business or holiday?

Perhaps we could meet up for a beer or three. Do you drink Guinness?

Welcome to the anti-brainless-megaphone-foghorning-pre-packged-pap oasis we know as Aural Moon.

Seeing as I will be on holiday, VAXman, then a beer sounds a fine idea. However, I only have tomorrow left when I can check these forums (although internet cafes are an option, I suppose), so if you could suggest a place and time convenient to yourself, I will endeavour to make it. Cheers. Poth.

Where will you be staying when you are in NYC? One place or moving about?

Thanks, VAXman; I will do so.

Hi, VAXman. Am having a great time in the city. Tried to phone you yesterday evening, and will prob. try again later today. In the meantime, thought I would send this as well. If you could reply with a time and a place for a beer - anytime suits me - then that would be good. I'm off cycling in Central Park now: must remember that you guys drive on the right. Cheers, Poth.
