Hello Skaters,

Just a week an a half to go before the Big Apple Roll, the turn out is great and
the hotel is fully booked. If you have not reserved a room yet and need help
finding available space, contact us at info@...

Our weekend itinerary is complete and the event will be just as hot at night as
during the skates.

Friday night we will be dining on the water at Pier 63, home to the Frying Pan,
http://www.fryingpan.com/ and The John J. Harvey Fireboat
http://www.fireboat.org/ a truly unique New York place.

Saturday night we will be partying at Lobby, http://www.lobbynyc.com/ , a hot
lounge in NYC where it is common to find celebrities and other high profile
people. BAR registrants will enjoy an open bar from 10:00 to 11:00 and free
admission (normally $15). This venue requires proper attire (no athletic wear,
no work boots, no hats)

We still have availability for new registrations and request that anyone
planning to attend register now. We want to make sure that everyone who
registers receives all the planned benefits that include an event t-shirt,
goodie bag, dinner and lunches.
