I hope NY Freepers are ready for this....
You know, I've signed up to be a volunteer at the convention (already endured the first orientation session), but if they're going to bring the city to a halt and make it so that I can't get to the convention...well, I'm just going to take a big glass of iced tea, a good book, my CD Walkman and my cell phone down to one of the outside decks at my apartment building and wait them out.
Of course, I might feel compelled to kick their asses, due to the fact that their antics are costing me and my fellow New Yorkers untold tax $$$ that we can't afford.
I truly resent that their putative "freedom of speech" costs *MY* money!
i've heard from a friend that alot of people are not being called back - depending on what you say you are willing to do, they mostly need people for transportation to/from airports to hotels, etc.
I'd encourage you to hold your post. We're going to need you there.
