Trying to plan a May Day Meetup in NYC to surprise a buddy on the day of his bachelor party. The long story is this: we grew up in the Washington DC area and went to a school that celebrated May Day (not the USSR celebration with missiles, — the old English celebration with Morris Dancers, tumblers, Maypoles, and singing of songs like "Unite and Unite".) I'm trying to get a group of singers and dancers together on the upper west side at 4 in the afternoon on May 1, 2010 to surprise the groom-to- …
