I don’t feel up to hosting it but I thought maybe we could plan to meet at a restaurant or something in the Central Jersey area near the trains. If anyone knows a good place near a station that also has parking.
So if there is any interest, start posting.
I realized my last Dopefest was 2 years ago.
Where are the trains? Is Woodbridge central enough?
I’m interested. And I actually have a sane, normal person schedule for the next month or so. I would prefer sometime after next week since my little brother is visiting then.
I’m theoretically up for it, but my life is going to be pretty much non-stop from now through the 20th. Definitely can’t make any guarantees, but if something is planned out, I’ll do my damnedest to get there.
Alas, my work is in retail and includes Saturdays and many Sundays. How I wish there were enough Dopers with Mondays off for a Monday Dopefest to make sense.
That looks like a workable location. Have you been to the place? It sounds fairly good.
Maybe June 25th (Saturday) is a good target date to start.
No, never been there so I can’t vouch for it personally, but I’ve heard it’s pretty good.
I’d likely be able to make that.
So should we postpone this for later in the year maybe?
Dunno if this would be too far away: Jersey City (+NYC, +NJ) Dopefest: June 18! - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board
I like that location and am only not showing up because my tires informed me they are about to explode. Need to replace them tomorrow. (It’s still a 2+ hour trip for me, and the chance of me getting the tires on before 10 AM is negligible.)
So count me in for some not too distant Dopefest there.
Yeah, we’re still doing tomorrow (Sat. Jun 18) at noon in Jersey City in case anyone from this thread wants to join us. If you all are doing Woodbridge later this Summer, we will be happy to join!
