Jul 12, 2008 Nico van de Water: One more day...
Hi all,
Just a quick note from Nico. Tomorrow morning, my wife and I will travel from up-state NY to NYC, to attend the pow-wow. Sorry for the lateness of announcing that my will attend, as well, but I am sure that the Cookshop can cater for one extra person.
See you tomorrow, then!
Best regards,
Nico.

Jul 8, 2008 Ann Bishop: restaurant

Jul 8, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Just a small thing

Thanks again see you soon!

Jul 8, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Ok
I will reserve for 10 persons, please just let me know if some of you comes with friend, husband wife etc.. (Nico perhaps?) ok? Thank you all !

Jul 7, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Dear all
I have to reserve, please correct the "may be" according to your availability, I need to know the correct number of participants.

Thanks a lot!

Jul 6, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Dear all
Just to let you know that tomorrow I have to reserve the restaurant, like I said time is 1.pm, date is July 13, places one of the restaurants kindly indicated by Potra -
The Cookshop (20 St/10 Avenue 212-924-4440)
-Barbounia (250 Park Avenue South/20 St. 212-995-0242), so I need to know the number of participants,

please be so kind to change the "may be" according to your availability.

Jul 5, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi all
Please note that I have indicated the time above, let me know if it is ok, I have indicated 1.00 pm July 13, as for the place I am waiting for further confirmations, for reserving in one of the places kindly indicated by Potra both on the 20th street.

Jul 5, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Dear All
Please indicate if you will take part so we can know the number of people for reservation. Thank you all, can't wait to meet you! :)

Jul 5, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Thank you Laura
Your suggestions are much appreciated, we will go there and ask, hoping to know asap the number of participants

Jul 5, 2008 potra: IT analyst
I have an excellent IT specialist that I can recommend to you all.

Jul 5, 2008 potra: Restaurants
The following are my suggestions for NY Restaurants:
-The Cookshop (20 St/10 Avenue 212-924-4440)
-Barbounia (250 Park Avenue South/20 St. 212-995-0242)

They are really nice places, the food is good, but we must reserve ahead of time especially for large parties.

Si tratta di un powow ma da buoni italiani il buon cibo resta sempre l'elemento principale della giornata!

Jul 5, 2008 Angio Garbarino: BTW
Does anybody know any technician to help us with our laptops? We got a virus. Thx

Jul 5, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi
We are looking for a nice place to organize the powwow at. Could you pls confirm the number of participants? Thx a lot. Angioletta&Antonella

Jun 24, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Thank you Carreonp
It would be very helpful if you know some nice place, in the 2 powwow I attended we had a lunch together in a Restaurant, regarding the location, we will be based in Brooklyn but I think that Manhattan is better, do you agree? As for the number I don't know since many people did not confirm yet.
We will be in touch when we will be there, we will leave on Friday! Can't wait!

Jun 23, 2008 carreonp: Suggestions for venue in NYC
Hi Angio - Would it be helpful, since I live here in NYC, to help you find a locale for the powwow? Do you prefer quiet restaurant, outside seating at a cafe, in a bar,...what's worked best in the past? It might also be helpful to know the neighborhoods in which everyone is staying to try to find something central to everyone (a challenge, I know, but worth a try). Since we're not secure on a date, I can try to find a venue that doesn't require reservations. Are we seven people?

Jun 20, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi Anna
You too in NY in July?

Jun 20, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Dear all
When we will be there we will look for a nice venue and will let you know ok?
I think we will be able to send more information during the first days of July.
If someone will not be able to be connected, please let me know or let it know to Antonietta via profile and we will send our phone number
Thank you all!

Jun 20, 2008 lanave: WE days
I only wish to ask if it would it be possible not to organise the meeting on week-end day. I know it's hard, but I try...

Jun 16, 2008 Nico van de Water: Anything definitive? #2
Hi Angio,

Thanks, and sure! And have a good night's rest (uhhh, what's left of it!).
Best regards,
Nico.

Jun 16, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi Nico
I think 13 July can be considered certain, as for the venue I'd prefer to look for it when I'll be there, unless some colleagues can provide a suggestion, but now they sleep, maybe it's better to wait our afternoon for a better update and suggestions of our American colleagues ok? :=)

Jun 16, 2008 Nico van de Water: Anything definitive?
Hello there,

Nico again. Just a quick question: is the 13th July certain now? I am asking this in connection with some planning for my stay in the States.
Angio, could you please give an update? Also, any idea of the venue/restaurant/hotel where the pow-wow will take place?
With best regards,
Nico.

Jun 16, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Come on Bruna!
Jump on an airplane and come!

Waiting for you!

Jun 16, 2008 Maria Antonietta Ricagno: Ciao Bruna
Sorry to hear you can't come. I'd like to meet you. Still, I hope you can change your plans till then.

May 29, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi Nico
Yes right, Antonella and I will travel together and will stay there together;) 40 days in NY

See you in NY!

May 29, 2008 Nico van de Water: Hi Angio
As with Antonella, many thanks (mille grazie; muchas gracias) for the welcome!
If I have understood correctly, you (and perhaps Antonella) will be in New York from the 28th June onwards. The family and I will be flying on the 7th July, and taking a few days into account to settle in, the 13th July would suit me fine. I recently attended a pow-wow in Nijmegen (NL), which was a great success. It is nice to meet fellow-professionals, and it is always handy to pick up a few tips, even for myself (in the business since 1979).
By way of (further) introduction, I consider myself a technical communicator, because, in addition to technical, medical and scientific translations, I do software and web site localisation, and technical authoring. As a hobby, I dabble a bit in XML and XHTML.
So much for my introduction. It's back to work now.
With best regards,
Nico.

May 29, 2008 Angio Garbarino: Hi Nico
Like Anto said we will be there, you are welcome! I see you have bever been in NY you will see, it is wonderful, I love it ;)

May 29, 2008 Maria Antonietta Ricagno: Hi Nico
call me Antonella, pls!! Maria Antonietta is too long:)
Well, Angio and I will be there on 28th June but so far we have not decided either a date nor a place for the powwow. We will keep you all informed about that. Of course, any tips from our colleagues there is welcome.
(My language pairs are English and Spanish into Italian)

May 29, 2008 Nico van de Water: Hi Maria
Thanks, Maria, for the welcoming message. As stated, I have never been to the US before, so everything is new to, including NY and the venue for meeting. Any ideas about the venue?
Also, what is your language combination? Do you have any specialisations?

With regards,
Nico.

May 29, 2008 Maria Antonietta Ricagno: Hi Nico
Angio and I will be glad to meet you there.

May 29, 2008 Nico van de Water: NY Pow-wow
Dear colleagues,
I will be visiting the US in July, and hope to attend. However, we (my wife and I) have not yet settled on a "program" for our visit. More news to follow.
In the meantime, with best regards, Nico (Dutch<->English translator living in Germany)

May 12, 2008 Angio Garbarino: I will be in NY June 27- August 4
I'd like to organize a powwow there in order to meet you dear American colleagues!

Suggestions are welcome!
