Yup, it’s that time of year. Take off your roller blades and strap on your ice skates… or ice skate rentals. Come join me and other event seekers as we learn how to ice skate and then slip and slide all around the rink as a group. ((Don’t laugh when I fall down please, but you can laugh at Cecilia the co-organizer ))

After a 15 minute private skating lesson for our group, we get to skate around the rink or just relax at our designated Random Events table. City Ice Pavilion is one of newest ice skating rinks in NYC. Right over the 59th street Bridge, 5 minutes from Manhattan, it’s easy for everyone to get to.

Why come to Queens and skate?: FREE lessons, FREE extended time, CRAZY discount for our group, and best of all to see the other really cool event seekers!

Date: Nov 7th
Time: 7:00pm – 9:50pm

Cost: $6 (Yup only $6) plus $6 if need to rent skates
Payment: Sign up “Yes” & Pay at the door, Mention “Random Events” for the discount

What to wear: It’s a bit chilly, so dress appropriately. I recommend long socks and a sweatshirt to be comfortable
How to find me: After you mention “Random Events” at the door check in with me at our table which will be located on the opposite end of the cashier booth. I wont be hard to find.

What’s included:
- 15-20 min of training from professional trainers
- almost 4 hours of skating
- Random Events seating section

Directions:
* Take the 7 Train to the 33rd St.-Rawson St. Station. Walk down steps to exit station.
* Walk one block West to 32nd Place (Towards Manhattan & LaGuardia Community College).
* Turn left onto 32nd Place (Must cross Queens Blvd.).
* Continue on 32nd Place past 47th Ave. to the City Ice Pavilion entrance on the right.

More Details to have fun:

1. If your taking the 7 Local Train from Manhattan , go to the last car. This is so when you exit you don't have to walk an extra two blocks.

2. Once you get out of the train station look at the sidewalk. I am going to draw arrows with chalk to guide you through the two blocks :) -> -> ->

3. Once you get there, pay at the door and say "Random Events" to get the discount.

4. Then check in with me at the Random Events table to get a name tag. This will help you know who is with the group and learn people's names. (As many of you know, I typically host smaller personal group events so everyone is always engaged. However, since we have a large group, please do your best to say "Hi" to someone standing by themselves)

5. Since we will have a large group, training will be broken down in groups of 20-30 people for 15 min.

6. Then we skate.. hopefully not fall and have a good time!

REMEMBER!!!!

- It gets COLD! So wear clothes/scarf/gloves that will keep you warm. There are lockers, so you can always remove it if you get hot.
- They have a little food stand, so feel free to bring water or something to munch on.

    •  I was on the fence about going but I'm glad that I did. I got there late and it was a long trip to get there (in a desolate warehouse area - wasn't too crazy about that as it didn't seem safe). The place was clean and the people working there were upbeat. It was definitely the cheapest thing I've done on a Saturday night in years. I wish I had had more of an opportunity to meet more more people but there's always next time. Thanks, Will! 
    •  I had such a blast. Everyone I met was extremely nice and very approachable!

    •  It was a lot of fun and great wrok out. Thanks to Will and Cecilia for organizing this event. I am definitely looking forward to the next one.

       Will and Cecilia did a great job with everything, it was very organized and the arrows on the street were so fun to follow is was like a scavenger hunt. Cecilia is so awesomely fun! no one else boggied down on the ice like she did! I hope she comes to every event! 
    •  I had such a good time skating and wish I would've been able to get there on time. I didn't take the lessons as my skill level was just a little higher than what they were teaching. Will did a great job with the directions on the ground from the train station. Whoever didn't make it really missed out on a good time. 
    •  Really enjoyable- everyone very welcoming. 11
