Don't know about NYC gatherings, but Boston has gatherings quite frequently. I've attended two so far; the first in London in March of last year, and the second in San Francisco this past April. There's been several gatherings in Florida, one in Albuquerque, and I think one in Wisconsin. This will be the second gathering in Texas. A2K Gatherings are fun; we get to meet the people and party together; enjoy good food and conversation, and visit interesting venues. Most A2Kers are above average in every way.
