- quote from Friedo— ## CWN, the best way is to take the shuttle to Times Square and then take the 1 or 9 downtown to Christopher St. Which Metro-North line do you take? I take the Harlem (blue) line. Thanks Friedo, I am taking the New Haven Line ---

The PATH train from Joisey lets you out right at Seventh Avenue and Swinging Christopher Street. You can purchase all the sexual aids you’ll need on the short walk to Bedford and Barrow. ---

Hey **Falc** , here’s some navigational aids: I-95 (aka New Jersey Turnpike) to exit 15E (you’ll see signs for the Holland Tunnel). Follow that until you see signs for either Hoboken Street or Luis Munoz Blvd. Take a left onto either (heading NE ish), and it’ll put you on Newark St. Take Newark St all the way down (going east towards NYC) and the Hoboken PATH station should be there. Parking, I dunno. . . There’s probably an easier way to do this, and someone out there probably has a better idea of how to go **Please, someone tell me if this is right!**. I still say take the train, but hey . . . I should be there pretty close to 5:PM (2200 ZULU) so lemme know. If yer going on the museum tour, you’ll be in the City before I get there . . . Tripler Holy cow! A _ **non-flirting** _ post! Bookmark this one folks!! ---

So we’re gonna have 50 drunken, rowdy members of an internet message board wandering around all liquored up in New York City, looking for trouble and wearing name tags. Alls I’m sayin’ is that if we’re not on the cover of the _Post_ on Monday, I’ll be very disappointed. ---
