OK, I know it’s late in the game, and I’ve only just found out I’ll be in Pennsylvania over January, so can someone give me a summary of this 5 page monster - is it still open, what style kilt I should wear, etc. I’d have to have myself shot if I missed the chance for a MEGA dopefest in my one time in the USA. Please be kind to the Aussie … ---

The summary is right at the top of this, Page 5, darlin’. And so long as you’re wearing a kilt, it can be any kind you want! ---

Thanks **Geobabe** - I saw that and was just worried I’d missed some mention that it was full up, or there was a no Aussie rule or something. I hope to see everyone there 🙂 ---

Well, I bit the bullet, dug around in my couch and scraped enough change together for a plane ticket. I’ll be in NY, and I’d like to make it to a few of these “activities” y’all have planned and meet these characters I’ve been reading about. 😉 My partner in crime and I might need a place to stay, but I’m not sure just yet. I’m still working that part of the plan out. So Biggirl, [giggle] it looks like I can buy you that beer after all. 😃 ---

If there are any dopers with kids who want to go out drinking late Saturday night, depending on when I leave Sunday I might be able to provide some semblance of child-care. I don’t know what kind of quality it’ll be, though, because whenever I offer this sort of thing it’s always free, and I don’t often have repeat-customers:) ---

Yeah! I just got my itinerary. I’ll be flying into Philly Thursday the 3rd and then take the train into NYC Friday with **Verrain** on Friday, since I’m so not trying to do the train route he has planned alone. So I’m available for festing duty on Friday night. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/back-on-track-nyc-mega-dopefest-january-5-2002/83057.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/back-on-track-nyc-mega-dopefest-january-5-2002/83057.md?page=14)
