We’d love to come (especially since we’re not sure if there’s going to be a Gettydope this year), but my 20-year class reunion is that weekend and we’re going to be in Altoona. ---

I only just found out about this - don’t read the boards much these days. Is it too late to RSVP? ---

Does anyone need directions? Who is coming? Do you think you will be early or late? Is anyone bringing anything? ---

At first I thought this was a Dopefest in the [Channel Islands!](http://www.jersey.com/english/aboutjersey/pages/default.aspx) 😕 Anway it’s a bit too far for me (3000 miles :eek:), but do have a good time. ---

Yep, we have kind of stolen the name, but as there are 8 million of us in New Jersey I think we can get away with dropping the New most of the time. ---

There’s always “Joisey.” My mom’s from there originally, so I can get away with it, plus it’ll never be mistaken for any British island. 😉 ---

Don’t think I need directions (it _is_ Exit 109, right?) Looks like it’ll be just myself – **kittenlm** and The Littlest Briston will be off with grandma, doing some shopping. I’ll probably be there sometime between 2 and 3. Anything in particular that you need? (If not, then **even sven** ’s current pit thread had placed cupcakes on my mind – might do some baking on Friday night) ---

(If not, then **even sven** ’s current pit thread had placed cupcakes on my mind – might do some baking on Friday night) Nothing specific is needed, so cupcakes or desert items are good. Mainly I am trying get a feel for what we need to pick up besides the meats to grill. ---

I just never know my schedule any more! Wow… and I never made it to a Dopefest. I just can’t commit right now. ---

I e-mailed **Brer Lapin** but haven’t heard back yet. In case she’s unavailable, how do I get there? I can get to the PATCO high speed line but have no idea where to go from there. ---

I can get to the PATCO high speed line but have no idea where to go from there. I’m sorry, I don’t know, I am afraid it is nearly impossible. You have to somehow find a link the the Jersey Coastal line and give us a ring to pick you up at the station. I think it is very hard and might require going up to Newark to come south. ---

I think it is very hard and might require going up to Newark to come south. What transit stations are you near? Maybe between Septa and NJTransit websites, I can find a way.
