Middletown would be the pickup point. ---

Okay, I confirmed I can get NJTransit from 30th st station. According to the auto trip planner (which I don’t trust. SEPTA’s auto planner is worthless) I then take SEPTA to Trenton Transit Center. Then, I go to Rahway. Then I go to Middletown. If anybody knows an easier route, I’d very much like to hear it. I am prone to getting lost and fear winding up in New York, Connecticut or even Texas. I’m really hoping **Brer Lapin** comes through. ---

Sorry, not happening. My best friend’s graduating tomorrow. ---

Oh, I almost forgot. Since I lack any mobile device with which to access the net, I’ll need a number to call when I reach the station. Obviously, it would be unwise to post the number, so you can send it to me in a PM or e-mail it to me at [doccathode@yahoo.com](mailto:doccathode@yahoo.com) ---

Final Bump, but I might not see this thread again until after the Dopefest. Give me a call if you have a last minute question. ---

Thanks once again, Jim – always a good time! Sorry I couldn’t stick around longer (gotta get the little one back home, though)… ---

Many thanks to our charming host and his wife for a great Joisey DopeFest! It was good fun. The company and the food couldn’t be beat, even if we got rained on just a little. ---

And a good time was had by all. Thanks for hosting another one. The subject of a NYC Dopefest, which we haven’t had for years, came up briefly, and the reasons turned out to be mostly the hardship of hosting one (don’t look at me). So your efforts (and the lovely Eve’s) are appreciated. ---

Thanks to **What Exit?** for hosting this! I had a good time meeting all of you. I do wish that I’d known **DocCathode** was having trouble finding a ride as it wouldn’t have been too far to me to pick him up. ---

I’ve been mostly away from the computer until now. Jim. thanks for hosting. It was great to attach faces to some of you. I had a great time and I hope this won’t be my last one. ---
