**Jamaika a jamaikaiaké** and I will also be on the 2:15 pm train, and we’re going to bring some veggie-type burgers along with the cupcakes. **What Exit?** , could you PM me your number in case we miss the train? ---

Well, something’s come up, and we regret to say that we can’t make it tomorrow after all. Which totally sucks because we had a great time last year. ---

Hm. After doing something horribly unwise, it seems to be better. Odds up to 50/50. ---

[QUOTE=pseudotriton ruber ruber] This is heresy. I will bring some Italian (Hot) Sausages to offset this impending tragedy. [/QUOTE] Sounds good, but we just need to clearly indicate which are which. I went over to Sweet over Hot when my own stomach went south on me and could not take spicy foods any more. The only thing I really miss is chili. I can’t even handle the mild chili that Wendy’s make, never mind real chili. **liberty3701** , I’m sorry you two will miss it. Have fun tomorrow. **E-Sabbath** , Hope you can make it, but whatever is for the best of course. My wife and I just got back from the Supermarket, a cart and a half worth of food and soda. There are two types of Juice Boxes, 6 types of Diet Soda, Coke[sup]TM[/sup], lots of bottled water and 36 Bass Ales already in a cooler pack full of ice. I know there is Root Beer and Crystal Lite coming. Sangria and I am sure some other beer and wines. This should be fun, and it looks like it will be the largest one yet. I should still have plenty of room in the house if it rains and we will park a few people on the front lawn if it gets crowded. The grass grows very quick there anyway. ---

I was hoping to come, but it turns out I have some family members playing a music gig on Staten Island tomorrow afternoon. Hope to make another one. Enjoy! ---

I hate to do this at the last minute, but we’re going to have to beg off. Unfortunately, I’ve got physical issues that make long-distance car travel, um, inadvisable. Robin ---

Eek! Help! My hotmail has picked a _great_ time to misbehave, and I can’t get into it to print out the directions! (Yes, I should have done that before…) Would somebody mind forwarding them to me at my alternate email account? jt08901 at [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) Thanks so much! ---

I’m always the last to find out about anything cool on these boards, and this thread has been up since April! ☹ I would have loved to meet all you guys and would definitely have adjusted my schedule to be there today. I’m only 45 minutes from Middletown, and could even have ferried a few of you over from the train. Oh well. Maybe next year. Have fun everyone! ---

Thanks for coming everyone. It was fun. I think I have enough leftovers to do another though. I still want to try for a restaurant or bar type Dopefest later in the year to welcome \*\*olivesmarch4th \*\* to New Jersey. ---

It was fun getting to meet everyone today! I did end up making it home, despite the electrical problems of NJ Transit, and I was able to use my return ticket to get from Secaucus to Manhattan.
