An older UK guy flying to New York - should be fun

I am so lucky: I can afford to spend a long, long weekend, Wednesday to Monday, in New York during WrestleFest 2017. I've never attended such an event before and am looking forward to it - nervously! But the organiser has made contact: it all sounds really friendly. In the past, I've booked hotels in New York and found them all formidably expensive. The suggested hotel for WrestleFest is central and affordable.

I've begun to set up some meetings - people officially registered on the WrestleFest database and some others, regular New York wrestlers.

Disappointing that one or two officially registered people have not responded at all. Somehow, I imagined that the level of politeness between WrestleFest participants might be pretty high?

Thanks so much to the organiser. Thanks so much to the interesting, generous people I shall be meeting in New York - for some scissors sessions. Can't wait to meet you!

And, once again, thanks so much, Meetfighters, for existing. Some of you will remember postcards which just said, "Thanks for Being". A bit 1970s maybe but HOORAY for Meetfighters: MF - thanks for being!

I'm going to have a wonderful time in New York, meeting new friends, enjoying some scissors maybe ... going to the theatre ...

In case anyone's interested, I'll probably write again when I return from New York.

As you obviously feel you're missing out on the 1 star mark I'll give you a thumbs down. It is very much tongue in cheek as I'm.the one that complained about the idiot that always gave a 1 star.

Have a great time at Wrestlefest. Will do do a blog with a report?

Naughty!

Yes - I'll probably write about it. Already setting up some promising meetings.

Have a good time. I'm as green with envy as the thumbs up :)

Enjoy.

I posted this 30 minutes ago. I'm still waiting for whoever it is to post his invariable one star assessment.

I've recently read in another member's blog that he is convinced that there is someone here who always posts a "1" grading to blog posts, regardless of content or context. I agree with him and can only ask this person to desist.
