I’m currently residing in Hartford, CT while working with the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Since I’m a short Amtrak ride away from New York City, I’ve decided to visit the place, as I’ve never been there before. I can ride in either late Saturday evening, or on Sunday or Monday. If any Dopers want to hang out, drop me a line either in this thread or through email. Also, let me know which day everyone is most up for. ---

Are you attractive? NYC dopers only are known to only hang out with the asthetically pleasing and physically beautiful. ---

> [@JohnBckWLD](#): > > Are you attractive? **arches eyebrow** A true gentleman would never ask anything so presumptuous of a lady. Suffice it to say that I possess the normal number of sensory organs, fibrous material sprouts from my scalp, and my legs extend from below my hips to the ground. The only Doper who’s ever seen me in person is **Biqu** , but **GingeroftheNorth** and **Weirddave** have both chatted with me on the phone and **Ginger** once said she’d like to eat me with a spoon. 🙂 ---

regardless of your looks (and you certainly _post_ attractively) I must respectfully bow out - this weekend is nuts for me - but then again, I have two children, ages 6 and 3, so every weekend is nuts, but this weekend I am playing a gig with my midlife-crisis band, going to a T-ball game, a bris, a birthday party and a few other things. eeesh. Have a great time! ---

Where is your band playing? If it’s at a public venue or an 18-and-over club, I can attend. Let me know. ---

Love to be there, but I’ll be out of town most of the weekend and doing my “housewifely duties” when I get back (laundry, not sex). ---

Shame about that, **Eve**. Would have been a great pleasure. Let me know if you change your mind. ---

Unfortunately, this weekend is ChiDope, where I will be this weekend, along with a few of the other New York regulars. If you are in for another weekend, it would be better. ---

Point taken, **Billdo**. Maybe next weekend. ---

My offer is now extended for this (Memorial Day) weekend: New York City, whatever time, someplace. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or possibly all four. Any Dopers who can make it are welcomed.
