Well, if it will help recruit more people to your 10 Spot gathering, I will admit that I won't be going. It would be too far to travel since Jen won't be there.

Pete - I'll be at Molly's. As far as the Sports Museum is concerned, I will need to check my son's hockey schedule to see what time his game is that day. If I do make it to the Museum, it's possible I might bring the missus, if she is agreeable to going out to meet a bunch of people I've never met. I will give you a more definite response ASAP.

The whole situation is indeed a little odd, there's no getting around it. But this has become a "virtual" community, and I think it can survive, and even thrive, in the "real world." Plus, I think it will make things more fun if even just a few folks actually meet each other off-line, as they say.

Also, folks may well grab food somewhere between the two events. That could certainly be kid-friendly.

<p>It's time to get serious about the impending 10 Spot outing. As you might recall, it's scheduled for next <strong>Saturday, Sept. 13</strong>. It's believed to be the first event of its kind for SI. (OK, I'm just winging it on that one, but it's definitely a first for the 10 Spot.) </p><p>The plan is to visit the <a href="http://www.sportsmuseum.com/sportsmuseum/" target="_blank">Sports Museum of America</a> that afternoon. The SMA opened earlier this year in downtown Manhattan. It's the home of the Heisman trophy as well as a number of other exhibits and artifacts.</p><p>That particular Saturday, the museum will also be hosting a special exhibit of Super Bowl artifacts, including scheduled appearances by former Giants <strong>Harry Carson</strong> and <strong>Sean Landeta</strong> and legendary Jet <strong>Don Maynard</strong>. We may be able to get a little exclusive time with them for our 10 Spot posse. (Please don't ask Mr. Landeta about missing that punt in the '85 playoffs against the Bears; it was very windy and I'm sure he feels terrible enough about it as it is.)</p><p>I have not locked in a time for the museum visit yet, but I am thinking around 2 p.m. The regular cost is $24 per adult, though we will be able to get a group rate, which I believe will be $19. We may duck into a conference room at some point for a meet-and-greet.</p><p>For Saturday evening, I have reserved the back room at Molly Pitcher's Ale House on the Upper East Side (Second Avenue at 85th Street) beginning at 8 p.m. The USC-Ohio State game will be on at that time, and I'll see if we can get a feed for the even more anticipated LSU-North Texas showdown. It should be a great time.</p><p>I pledge to award a prize to the 10 Spot reader who travels the farthest. There may be additional surprises as soon as I think them up.</p><p>Anyway, I need to start getting a head count for both events. You can post directly on this thread or e-mail me directly at <a href="mailto:pete_mcentegart@simail.com">pete_mcentegart@simail.com</a>. Periodically until next weekend, I will post the running count on this thread. Obviously folks can decide to come at the last minute if they like, especially to the Molly's portion. But I do need to have an idea how many people to expect, since museum tickets must be purchased and Molly's needs to make staffing decisions.</p><p>Also, feel free to suggest anything that you think might make the gathering more fun.</p>
