Well well. Brooklyn and dope. Daddy likes. I gotta figure out a way to work it in. Damn vacation plans. . .

I’m going to officially nominate the Transit Museum as a Saturday daytime activity, possibly beginning with lunch/brunch in Brooklyn, then to the Transit Museum, and finally into Manhattan for debauchery of various sorts.
Don’t be afraid, folks, plenty of actual Brooklynites will be on hand to escort to you to and from these various exotic destinations!
Anyone have any thoughts yet about a location for said debauchery? I personally love the Idiot, and it was plenty large enough for our group, but I am also the first to admit that it is, in fact, a very dirty sort of place to hang out.
The only other suggestion that comes to mind is The Stoned Crow, on Washington Place. They have a large back room, and if we arrived early on a Saturday, we should have no trouble establishing squatters rights. I will note that while it’s not an expensive bar, it’s more than the Idiot (pretty much everything is going to cost more than at the Idiot, though).
How do people feel about restaurant followed by bar (what we did last year) as opposed to finding a single place that is both a restaurant and a bar? On one hand, the change of scenery is sometimes nice … on the other hand, it might be easier to organize if we are only working with one place.
I very much like the idea of the Transit Museum, one of the underrated jewels of New York. I’m a bit of a transit nerd so I’d be willing to play docent.
One thing we’ll have to bear in mind, it being January, is to have alternatives in the event of foul weather. One of the virtues of the Transit Museum is that it’s so easily accessible by subway - around the corner from one of the larger transfer stations.
Well, gang, I’m just about to head off on my sailing adventure. I won’t have much time on the boards (if at all) for the next month or so, but I’m still looking forward to the Mega-Dopefest in January.
In my absence, my sister and favorite legume, Green Bean, will keep the process of getting the Mega-Dopefest organized on track. That way, I can take credit for everything that works out and she’ll take blame for for all of the problems (though in fact, the reality will be exactly the opposite).
See you all in January, if not before.

FOR SALE: MISS CREANT’S SELF RESPECT
As I have no shame, and no money, I will prostitute myself out to any male doper interested in providing me with plane tickets and lodgings for this event. [sub]hint, hint, Uncle Bill![/sub]
You might want to chat up manhattan at ChickDope.
Transit Museum’s closed for “renovations.” Try us again in 2003.
– Uke, who was in that neck of the woods on Friday
Miss Creant, if I’m back in the bucks by December, I’ll see what I can do. And I’ll still respect you in the morning. 
Well, what would be the point then?
I wish I could come and meet all you… weird people, but I can’t 
Well, respect can indicate a moderate level of awe, y’know.
Is it January yet?
Did someone say KILTS?
No need to hit me over the head with a 2 X 4! (Unless I get out of hand). Plane tickets? Lodging? That could be arranged!
And TruePisces, maybe now you can quit asking when I’m coming up to see you!
Now it’s off to check my freaky flier point balances and look at airfares from MIA and ORD!
So, uh, Bill… When are you coming up to see me?
:d&r:
As much as I hate cold weather, since I’ll be in the Bronx for the holidays I might be able to postpone my southward migration long enough to make it.
Put me down as a definite maybe.
12:30pm Friday Jan 4, if you are at the AirTran gate at LaGuardia. UncleBill is the proud new owner of a roundtrip e-ticket to the NYC Mega-Dopefest.
Geobabe, don’t tempt me about wearing a kilt, I’ll do it! I swear I would!
Make it a mini-kilt and you’ll be a DoperBabe[sup]TM[/sup].
Now that Uke has put a big ole hole in the Brooklyn Arts segment of this MegaFest, are there any other suggestions? Uke? Pixellent? Delphica? Anyone? Hello?
If I made it a mini-kilt, grown women would faint dead away!
How would people feel about a Saturday matinee Broadway/off-Broadway show?
If we get a big enough group going, we might even be able to get a special deal on the prices…
This includes musicals (stop throwing things!) AND plays, for those who may have freaked out there for a second…
That sounds great, Pucette. I haven’t been to a show in NY in YEARS!
