I’ll send exact direction once I build up some Google Maps and Directions from many places. > [@athelas](#): > > I am already in state, but can’t come this year. Maybe once Pton starts. Maybe the next one. > [@Spatial Rift 47](#): > > You just HAD to put in on the 20th, didn’t you? I got all excited. I don’t know why none of you know that I was born and raised in Bergen County, NJ. If it is on the 20th, I can’t come, because that’s the day I’m graduating. Any day between then and June 3rd is golden. I sorry, I think we have too much commitment to the 20th already. Hopefully the next one. > [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > Um…Buffalo. > (this is where you say “find your own ride”) Gulp!, Yep, I think you’re on your own. Jim ---

I’m up in Morris County, my May 20th is free, and I’d like to come! Sorry I’m late - I just spotted this, as I tend to come and go as Real Life interferes. ---

Hello, fellow Jersey Dopers! I am in Florham Park, which is exit 142 off the Parkway. It would be great to get together with you all. Should I bring beer, wine, or sangria? Or all of the above? And soda and juice for the kids? ---

Should I bring beer, wine, or sangria? Or all of the above? And soda and juice for the kids? I would say BYOB and maybe a little extra would be very cool. What ages are the kids? We’re ranging from under a year to 8 so far. Jim ---

Since I’ll be out of town Thursday and Friday, so I’m not going to try to cook; put me down for (deli) coleslaw and potato salad. Looking forward to it! ---

Much as I’d love to meet some of the Jersey folks, I’m tentatively scheduled to be working in MD and VA on the 19th/20th. Should that plan go sideways, I’ll revisit the thread. Party, hearty 😃 ---
