Well beyond my planning horizon!
Is it still? (Just in case anyone is reading?)
And did the September 2011 party actually happen?
(I saw references to such a thing planned, up to
the preceding July, but nobody appears to have made
any post-party posts!)

I definitely think it should be on the planning horizon now!
I did suggest it on the soc.biter facebook group, last September. 27
people saw it, 5 people liked the suggestion, and 4 people posted
comments, one of which was Lisa suggesting holding it in London this
time, in September (because she has rehearsals at weekends in
October).
I'd love to see people, and I'd obviously be happy with London, but I
am equally happy with NYC again as I have enough frequent flier miles
to get there for free.

Still reading.

Missed that: I don't do bookface.

You're not the only one. Open question: is there anywhere else,
besides soc.bi itself and fb, where former soc.bifolk gather these
days?
I was just thinking yesterday, I know of three people who used to
post to soc.bi who have died in the last 5 years. We should
definitely try to have YASBPs more than once every 10 years!
I have to say just the thought of NYC freaks me out, for no concrete
reason. (At least two airlines [Air Berlin¹ and Eurowings] are adding transatlantic flights to Boston Logan to their schedules this summer,
though. Do we still have a Boston contingent reading here?)

Guess not.
I suggested 17 September 2016 as a suitable date and nobody has objected, so I think we'll be going with that.
Any votes for specific location?
By coincidence I shall actually be in the UK that weekend but I don't
know if I'll be free to travel away from where I'm supposed to be...

So is what you're saying, if that turns out to be the date, and if
the location turns out to be convenient, and if it turns out you're
free, then you'll definitely show up?

Phht. I have been known to warp time and space to make events; but
whether I am free to do so is never predictable.
The 30th anniversary of soc.bi will be on Friday, October 22 2021 but
things aren't looking good for international travel.
