Chumley’s has been updated on the number of people. I said 49, but one or two either way should not be a problem. I think I’ll get some fake IDs in case we get hauled away in a paddy wagon. ---

Well, since I flirted back, guess I’ll have to join Trip in the penalty box. Be back later. MUCH later. 😉 (And um, Tripler? Flirting IS Doper-like conduct.) ---

Wow this fest sounds like a blast. I’ve always wanted to attend a fest with a boatload of dopers. Hmmm…count me in as a maybe. Although, I have no idea where I would stay overnight. 😕 ---

Silo - Check back through the thread and the first one…a few people have offered up their apartments for us out-of-towners. ---

- Good news\* I have accepted a new position (it’s only part time but who knows maybe it’ll grow) so it’s off the unemployment rolls. _bad news._ it means working weekends. and I start in 50 hours. _that leaves worse news._ due to location and hours required I must regretfully change my status from definate to absent ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > Brodeur is better than Kolzig, your German/South African/Canadian import. No way, jose. In your dreams!!! Kolzig is not only **the** sexiest goalie of all time, but also a kick-ass player as well. You think Brodeur is better with 735 SA and 665 SV? Please. Maybe he’s got Ollie beat in MIN, but other than that, dream on. And Richter may play for the big bad Rangers, but he’s not even close to Kolzig in SA and SV either. One day…ONE DAY! The Caps will get the respect they deserve. ---

We hadn’t offered before, but Maeglin and I would be happy to accomodate anyone needing a place to crash for the night! We have an… get ready for this… air-mattress! 🙂 The only downside may be the four cats (which we keep out at night, don’t worry). For those with allergies, it wouldn’t be the best thing. But anyone who wants, let me know! 49 people, eh? It’s going to be a blast! ---

Allow me to publicly rephrase: Flirting: _good_ 😉 Lack of a big-bad General: Bad. :\ Tripler I don’t mind the box at all. So long as Falcon is the ref that throws me in it. 😉 ---

\ Sara, Igive you Kolzig over Richter, who I did not mention. MR is an underrated goalie, though, because of the nature of the shots he faces. The NYR have one of the best D-men in the league in Leetch, but he’s an O-Dman, and they have to crease-clearers like a Stevens, D. Hatcher, or Pronger. Guys are in his lap all game. ``` Brodeur's name is on that lil' Cup twice. Counts for a lot. Been to Cap Centre. A tomb. I understand the Phone Booth is half empty a lot, too. The Caps recognition is pretty low. Whatever else the NYR do, they do it in front of fans. ``` ---
