Hmm, well foodwise there are very good IMHO Indian and Thai restaurants
nearby. Though, they may not be that good for passing around books and
papers and practicing alien phonetics and whatever people do at conlangcons.
But, theres plenty of space at the uni. for that, and overpriced cafeteria
food. You have any other ideas Christopher? Dates - see below.

Unfortunately, the 11th/12th I won't be able to do. Actually my calendar's
looking pretty busy with all the Jewish holidays, and I may be away next
weekend. So basically, I'm free on the following Sundays: Sept 14, Oct 5
(but not at night), Oct 26, Nov 2, Nov 9 (but not at night), and I should be
more free after that. Hopefully it won't be that late anyway. What do you
guys think? Anyone else on Long Island BTW?
