I'm definitely planning to go; will probably be on an 8:30-9:00 AM train from the city to be at the games around 10AM.
An on-site meet-up place/time makes sense. How's noon? Place? I don't remember the layout well enough to suggest one other than near the tour entrance to the mansion or at the beer tent?

And this shall be for music, when no one else is near; The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear; That only I remember, that only you admire; Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire. (RL Stevenson)

Noon sounds good. I've never been to this event before, so you all know the layout better. I will be there with wife and children, so I should probably suggest the tour entrance to the mansion, if just to ensure "family friendliness"--not that the kids don't see us imbibe. Should I make up an XMarker sign as I have seen others use, or should I just stand in the open and bray Scottish imprecations?

A sign would be great. I know most of the NYC rabble by sight, but there are bound to more Xmarkers than just us...

I'll be there. I live in western nassau county, so it's not too bad a trip at all.

Great! Noon it is for the meet up. I'll make a sign to display prominently with the XMarks logo. I'll also contact the event hosts to let them know who we are and that they don't need to go to orange alert over our sign placement or gathering. Cheers!

Time Change to 1:30 PM and Location Info
Greetings Rabble. Spoke to the Chair of the Games, Mr. James Hogg. Nice gent. Asked us to change the Meet Up Time to 1:30 p.m. They have moved the Opening Ceremonies up to 12 Noon. Also, he has made a place for us on the main thoroughfare, near the Clan Associations and Heavy Games. Look for an Official Looking XMarks Sign in those parts. Cheers.
