[QUOTE=MsRobyn] Screw the trains. The cheapest way would be to go from Harrisburg to Philly, then take a bus to Trenton, then take the train to Middletown. To go from Philly to Trenton to Middletown takes three hours or so, according to the NJ Transit site. To go from my house to Middletown takes 3 hours and we avoid the PA Turnpike. The 29th is the Saturday after my birthday. Cake, presents and general adulation will be expected. 😃 Robin [/QUOTE] I have a bunch of pirate themed party favors left over from my son’s birthday party and some custom made foam swords. If these will count as gifts, we can easily accommodate you. 😉 ---

I think this might conflict with the Mongo Ponton Pool Party. ---

The 29th of June is not doable for me because of prior committments. Sorry. Perhaps another time. I had lots of fun at one of the previous Jersey Dopefests. ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] Well, I can’t very well let **Risha** be the only one to make it to all four, can I? [/QUOTE] And I can’t very well let **Hal** be the only one either! June 29th is fine for me. ---

I shall pencil it in. Are non-doper spouses invited? Or is it only for those with the super secret decoder rings? I’m in Somerset County if anyone needs a ride. ---

To be frank, Philly’s got nothing on New York, but I know y’all actually get together now and then. Now, going to Jersey … well, sacrifices must be made. 😉 ---
