If you don’t mind the bump, **JC** , I’ve got a possible situation and a question: Next week, me and mi esposa (and El Niño) are seriously considering driving from E-City (NC) to Clinton, NY, to hear Bruce Campbell speak at Hamilton College. (Why not? It’s Fall Break for me and The Kid and I’ve never been to New York.) Anyway, _IF_ we make the drive (weather and $$$ permitting), I would like to _try_ to convince her to drive through your neck of the woods on the way back down to NC; that’d be the Saturday of Dope-A-Ween. I think. It’s next Saturday, right? Bottom line: _ **if** _ we drive to New York next Thurs./Fri. and _ **if** _ I can convince her to let us stop by for the Par-Tay (however brief our stay might be; it is a Par-Tay, right? I can’t be bothered for a mere party.), and _ **if** _ y’all don’t mind… could you e-mail me (it’s in my profile) the directions and stuff? ---

Beats me–I don’t know nothing about no East Coast driving. If we’re coming back from NY, we’d probably approach Virginia from Harrisburg, PA. ---

Ooooohhh, **Pantellerite**. Airman, Zappo, Aaron and I are coming from Harrisburg! Not that that is really relevant or anything. Robin ---

It’s relevant to my plans! I’ve got an Olde College Chume that lives up in Harrisburg whom I haven’t seen since 1995 or 1996 (although we’ve been in constant communication via The Miracle Of E-Mail). So hopefully on Saturday morning, we’ll leave Clinton, stop in H-burg for a bit, and then continue tracking south. ---

Well I have the new car, but Gas for the Aztek will kill me. If anyone from NJ on south wants a lift and will help with gas I’ll pick you up and I’ll be able to go, otherwise yet another year I miss the bash ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > \*\*And now an update… > > Three bags of Circus Peanuts acquired! \*\* Oh, Jesus. Airman will be in heaven. **Ginger** , Circus Peanuts are these peanut-shaped marshmallow candies that are orange in color and banana in flavor. They’ve got roughly the same consistency as Styrofoam, if Styrofoam melted in your mouth. They’re bizarrely addictive, although they do last in our house until Dave gets a hold of the package. (It’s these little quirks that I find so charming.) Cecil had [this](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_222b.html) to say about them. Robin ---

I was planning on taking the motorcycle but I might not since it might rain and my tires need to be replaced. shoot me an e-mail in my profile and let me know. I’ll be coming from Germantown so it’s not a problem to come down into No VA.
