So I hope many of you are aware that this Sunday, February 14, is Chinese New Year. Seeing as some of us are Chinese, and this is a special event for our people, I propose an outing to Chinatown. There will be the usual lion and dragon dances which will make its way around the main streets of Chinatown (Mott, Canal, Bowery, East Broadway, etc.) while a Firecracker Ceremony and other festivities take place at Columbus Park. Main times are from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm but celebrations may go later than that.
Since I will not be returning home for Chinese New Year, I will be going no matter what, by myself if I have to. My roommate may possibly be accompanying me. If anyone is free on Sunday, I/we will be happy to have you along. Post your thoughts and we'll plan from there.

This is the first time I've actually received stuff during Chinese New Year! And this holiday is generous as a mofo. I might attend.

Well, I'm planning on going to Chinatown on Sunday to see the dances and other ceremonies. I'll probably be going with some other friends though. Hope to see you guys around anyway.

Fair enough. Have fun with your family Jeff! What about the other Chinese members? Lena? Jack? I know you're not going home for Chinese New Year, might as well come. Dude, you're Chinese, you have to do something. And no, watching anime all day does not count as an appropriate celebration.

Well, my roommate and one of my floormates will be accompanying me to Chinatown in the morning. We'll head out around 10:30 am. Anybody who decides to come with us last second or wants to meet up sometime after, call me or call someone with my number.
