Reminder: NYC OPEN SPACE STAMMTISCH - Thurs. Aug 7th, starts 6 pm, at the Pig'n Whistle

[Ruthann Prange]

Scott,
Still planning to come.  Am trying to arrange a minor foot surgery for
my mom in Gettysburg - moving it forward from later in month as she's
experiencing more pain.  Unless that ends up requiring my being there,
will see you Thur.   Will advise if I cannot make it.  Thanks again for
coordinating.
 
Hugs,
Ruthann

Hello all. 
 
Please enjoy the reminder and most of all, join us if you can.
 
Please come and join us on Thursday, August 7th, starting at 6 pm, as
the OPEN SPACE community of NYC holds a Stammtisch at the Pig'n Whistle
( <http://pignwhistleon2.com/> http://pignwhistleon2.com/) on 2nd Avenue
(between 50th and 51st) in NYC.  if the weather is nice, we can sit out
on the second floor  balcony.
If you are traveling from elsewhere and happen to be in or around NYC,
please come meet other people who like to work in Open Space! 
If you are wondering what is a  "Stammtisch?"  
 
Here's a copy/paste of an explanation of OS Stammtisch Michael M.
Pannwitz, of Berlin, Germany, provided a few months back : 

"A stammtisch is a regular gathering at a regular time (like every
Tuesday evening, or once a month or, as is the case with the os
stammtische around the planet, every Monday of every odd month at
7pm)where people interested in a particular aspect of life, as for
instance open space, gather for beer (other drinks are perfectly ok) and
food as everyone wishes and talk with each other about whatever is on
top of your mind regarding open space (in a broader sense). People come
and go as they find useful, some arrive at 7 pm (I usually even earlier
to secure a table and talk to the people in the pub), some as late as 11
pm and it will usually last until well past midnight. No agenda, lots of
energy. Last stammtisch in Berlin several people came because they
needed work (in os, of course), well, they in fact found others that
were looking for help. So its networking, creating collaboration, new
ideas are born, people bring stuff for each other to look at (pictures,
a couple of books of proceedings from recent open spaces, a bottle of
brandy from Kyiv,  there are always a couple of laptops to show things
to each other and to write an email to another stammtisch lets say in
Kyiv or Budapest..).
Often, there are also visitors from other countries passing through
Berlin that are real open space stammtisch addicts, they have heard of
the Berlin one and join. So its international, too."
 
I know Michael let's us know odd month Monday nights would put us in
sync with the rest of the OS world, this at least gets us started in NYC
talking together about Open Space.
 
Esther Matte, a recent NYC transplant from Quebec and I look forward to
meeting whoever comes.
 
Scott
