I can help with transportation as needed. I live right near the New Brunswick train station. I’d be willing to take people up to and from the DopeFest from anywhere reasonably close to the New Brunswick area. ---

What do you estimate the drive time from CT to be ? I’d love to come, but can’t commit at this point. **If** I am able to make it, I would be happy to pick up a couple of people in NYC on the way … ---

I will get a large Email mailing out later this week to everyone who has checked in so far. It will have maps, directions and phone numbers. The last 2 weeks have been crazy. Sorry for the delays. > [@Pixisis](#): > > What do you estimate the drive time from CT to be ?

Norwalk is under 2 hours again traffic permitting. I did Springfield Mass in 3.5 hours and Framingham in 4 hours. Jim ---

I sent out and Email with Direction to my home and my Phone Number. Trying to build the Email List I used the last one and added the new Emails from this thread. The board froze for a while, so I am sure I missed someone and \*\*Eve \*\* your Email is not public. So please Email me if I missed you or you need directions. Thank you everyone, Jim ---

We’re going to have to bow out. That’s Airman’s drill weekend, and I definitely have to work. Maybe next time. Robin ---

I really want one of those ice-cream balls, which I actually have zero use for – maybe I’ll get one and bring ice cream fixin’s for my contribution. There will be kids available for the rolling around of the ball, right? ---

My work schedule is, well, really weird (ask any of the Philly or MAD crew) but if I’m not on call that weekend I’ll definitely try to make it. **DocCathode** , if you need transport and I end up being able to go I’ll gladly give you a ride to/from. ---

Prompted by an Email and with one month to go, I guess it is time for this post: \*\*People want to know what they should bring. \*\* I plan on having Hamburgers, Hotdogs and sausages to grill. Rolls for said. Some desert. I will have plenty of Soda and Diet Soda, homemade Ice Tea, Bass Ale and a few bottles of Wine. Oh and some some juice/juice boxes for the kids. I will then fill in whatever is not covered by volunteers. Please bring any side salad, salad or desert or chips that you would enjoy bringing. Let us know. If you want to bring something special to grill, sounds great. If you see something I am forgetting, please remind me. If you bring beer or Wine Coolers, I would ask that you bring it in a cooler that you can then take home with you and bring a beer you enjoy and would like to share with others. I am looking forward to a fun day. Jim ---
