CR Get Together?
Good morning all!
First, you've got to go over to Skinnybitch's blog (she's so nice, so it's a most amusing choice of names) and read her entry for today. It's brilliant. She compares the number of calories she ate yesterday to what she could have had at McDonald's for the same number of calories. Then she compares the nutrients and the total grams! It's so great.
Second, MR and I have been thinking of hosting a CR get together at our house in Philly sometime in the spring. We're easy to get to by train, plane and automobile, fairly centrally located, and the conference isn't till November so it would be great to get together before then. We could have the gathering at our house for lunch and an afternoon of hanging out, and anyone who wanted to could go out in Philly for dinner afterwards... I know plenty of places where we can get a quite decent meal. We've been talking about a CR Girls' weekend, but we have a few wonderful guys and I don't want to leave them out. What do you think? Anyone who wanted to stay in town a bit could do so... there's tons to do here. I'd love to go out on Friday night with anyone who wants to come in early, and there's a Residence Inn in walking distance of our house that has kitchen facilities in every room - ideal for those CR folks who need a fridge wherever they go. There are some cheaper places to stay nearby too. And a few of you could help me cook for the lunch... last time we did this, we put calorie and macronutrient ratio labels on all the foods, so that takes some time and effort. With all these CR whizes hanging out in the kitchen, we could get it together easily!
Let's pick dates soon so Shelia can schedule her vacation time! And Robin can book her flight... flights from Boston to Philly are so cheap these days! Maybe Chris can come in from Chicago... though I'm a bit scared that he's going to try to bike the whole way after he posted his daily biking mileage the other day! Who's in?

Ohhh nooooooo I can't!!!! Too much already going on :(
But I may be there in May so perhaps we can meet then.

April, this sounds terrific, and I would truly relish the opportunity to learn some tips and tricks from experienced folks as well as putting faces to these great online personalities. Plus I've never met a naturally orange person before (though I've met those ones who try to fake it with sprays and what have you).
The only time possible for me would be during my spring break, which is March 26-30 (including the weekends bookending those dates). And don't worry--I won't bike there! But I will likely take Amtrak, because I LOVE taking the train. I'd likely start off or finish in DC where I have friends, so I could combine visits efficiently!
