All I heard was ice cream, and I'm in.

I am fine to push it out--I'm free the 17th of April but not the 25th, but doing it later may be better for others anyway. I'm free most of May as well, or we can push it out further if people want. I'm in a unique position where I get priority standby flights as benefits of my job (and am not in the Northeast), so I am at the mercy of being able to get a seat (to Boston, I assume?).

Okay, in May I have Sunday and Mondays off, and we have a request for Sunday, so how about a Sunday in May?

I'm just throwing dates out there--you have to tell me what works (or not).

Edit: Yes, Boston.

I am tentatively up for a Sunday in May.

Tentatively good with a Sunday in May.

Alright, May is coming up! Since you have to travel the farthest, which Sundays in May would work for you?

Appreciate that, I'm free the weekends of the 15th and 22nd. That said due to the nature of flying standby it's of course not 100% that I get a seat, so if those don't work for everyone else please don't hold the whole thing up on my account. That said, things are clear as of now (of course, no one is booking flights far out from travel at the moment) so either of those looks good. Having a meetup Sunday works for me, although I'll probably come up Saturday and hang out in Boston since I've never been just to walk around and see things and to not have to fly twice in the same day (and to avoid taking off a Monday).

Edit: Just learned I'm dogsitting for my roommate the 22nd

Alright, May 15th it is!

Edit: you mean the 16th, Sunday?

Yes, sorry, I generally think of weekends in terms of Saturday's date but obviously we're planning on Sunday, so the 16th.

I'm putting it on the calendar. Tentatively still good.
