Yay! very exciting. Its very promising that its a longish email and that he asked when you are coming to NYC. I wish I could think of a reason why you could call him, because I too have found its much easier on the phone than email. BUT I kind of think you have to play it cool and only email. I would email him straight back and tell him the dates that you are going to be in NYC, mention all the cool fun things that you are going to do - and then be brave and ask if he wants to catch up.
BUT wait to see if OD has a better idea!
I know this feels like the culmination of many months of hard work.... but from his point of view he probably sees it like catching up with an old friend. You cant be expecting anything more than the gradual reconnection of friendship (and hopefully a bit of sexual tension and sparks!). Its too early to be playing hard to get.
Of course when you see him you will talk about how happy you are and make the first move to leave etc.
Maybe you could make it sound in your email that its a total surprise to you that you might be able to meet up with him when you are in NYC?!?! (tricky - I dont know if you can pull it off!). Something like you had forgotten he would be there, or you assumed that he would be away in June, but if he is going to be around you'd love to catch up?!?!
As to the music festival in NJ - prepare to overhear something about BF, and for it to hit you in the guts, but your face to remain blank.... and just make sure you look hot, and that you are having fun.
You are doing great T - good things are coming your way!
Dont lose your inner mojo - remember you are being happy and attractive for yourself - it really doesnt matter what BF or BF's friends think of you.
