The original eXtreme Tuesday Club is a weekly gathering of eXtreme Programming practitioners that has taken place in London for 8 years or so. It has provided a great community for like-minded software developers, managers and coaches to get together in a very informal way to discuss the ups and downs of using XP and other agile Software Development methods on a wide variety of projects in all sorts of organisations.
I (Mike Roberts) got a lot out of London's XTC when I lived there. Even though I wasn't a 'regular' I still found it a great place to pop along to every now and then when I was in the mood. I miss the informality / beer / random banter that it provided so I've decided to kick off a similar event here in New York City. I'm not sure if the US / UK cultures are aligned enough that it will work, but you don't know if you don't try.

Mike, great idea, I hope to be there, Bill
anon - thanks for the heads up on the links. I haven't yet - I thought we'd try a few events first to make sure it will work.

Mike,
Could you also add this to upcoming.org? Come to think of it the XTC wiki would also be a good place to advertise this as well.
Heya Mike... I'm transferring to Manhattan the middle of this month. I'm very much looking forward to being able to attend stuff like this. Count me in.
