I’d like to come, just to talk some Yankee baseball and Giant football with people who know far more about both teams than I do. If I do go (which would be decided much closer to the date), I’d be driving from Queens and available to pick-up a Queens / Brooklyn doper or three. I promise to limit my Jersey jokes to a dozen or less if I do attend!
One of these years I’ll make it, but I’m flying back from London on that day…
And boy, will my arms be tired!
I don’t know my plans as yet, but I wanted to check in and say at least I’m aware of it. 
I’ll give it my best shot.
Great, ask anyone that knows me, I can talk Yankees forever and I am pretty sure Hal can do the same about the Giants.
Hope you make it.
Remember when the flight is over, ice those arms. It is what all the pitchers do.
I hope to go. Right now I’m ill but June is a way away. But can I make something other than cole slaw? It didn’t seem to go over that well. Although I thought it was damn good. But…
You can’t make friends with salad, you can’t make friends with salad…
So if I can make it I’ll pull out all guns and go for my cranberry tart. It will only cause you to gain…oh 10, 15 pounds. 
A Cranberry tart sounds great and I hope you feel better.
Just wondering if anyone else is interested in the Dopefest or if there are any other questions.
I will definitely check my calendar…I’m not a regular poster - but have been around for a while. I also have a lil’skittles - 18 months…so that would be neat.
Let me see what our family calendar looks likes.
We’ve got it on our calendar – myself, the wife, and The Littlest Briston* should see you all then!
*she’s recently discovered the joys of a good barbequed burger. 
Hey, just spotted this (I seem to have a bad habit of disappearing from MPSIMS whenever you’re planning these, Jim 
). I should be able to make it. Thanks for hosting us yet again!
Mother Puss Bucket! So there’s only ONE day in June that I couldn’t get to. Well, just put up a picture of Matt Damon (from The Bourne Identity, please) and write Shecky under it. We’re like twins anyway.
I’m working on talking my formerly-Jersey Doper fiancee Triplr into finding time for this the weekend we’re up in Bergen County for his aunt’s 80th b-day. I see from the maps there’s only an hour drive between the two, but we’re flying out that day, I think and would hate to inconvenience anyone else for our schedule. Hmmm, I shall work and connive.
We are getting close now. I am hoping we can confirm who is coming and if you are planning on bringing anything.
I plan to have meats for the grill, Hamburgers, Hotdogs and Sweet Italian Sausages. I will lay in a lot of diet soda and some regular Coke. I will have Ice Tea (homemade) and seltzer.
I will have some chips and dips and I will pick up some sides if it looks like we will be short.
My kids will be there, ages 7 & 9. Will any other kids be there?
Still open for others to join in.
Jim
Looks like we’re still good over here. My Denverite brother will be arriving in town that day but A) we have no idea what time, and B) 'eh…he’ll be here for a couple of days…I’ll have plenty of time to see him.
I’m sure we’ll be bringing something, I just haven’t planned things out that far in advance (although damn, this is starting to get close!). I’ll say it’s subject to change, but there is a good chance of a homemade fruit salad.
As for kids, 1.5 year old Shayla will be there to amaze you (and mortify us) with her ability to repeat anything you say.
Glad this popped back up-we’ve got directions printed and a room booked for Saturday night. BiblioCat and I are looking forward to meeting a somewhat new crew of Dopers. We haven’t decided what to bring, yet-weighing what will travel well and need minimal refrigeration.
Cool, Look forward to meeting you.
Hal, I look forward to seeing you and your family again. Do you need anything for Shayla like a high chair? We have one in the basement still? Give me a little notice and I will clean it up ahead of time. We have some fisher price stuff around still. I bring a few thing up ahead of time and make sure they’re clean.
Jim
Hey, are Dopers in NYC invited, too?
If so, could you count me as a “maybe”? By when would you need a definite “yes” or “no” answer?
Yes they are, come on down. My Email is in my profile, if you Email me, I will send out directions. We are easy to get to, just a few miles and a few turns off the Garden State Parkway. We will even run a shuttle to and from one of the Jersey shore line train stations if we can coordinate it.
Jim
Even I am considering coming, though it is a hell of a drive for me. But it would be great to see all these Dopers.
What Exit (hah, how appropriate) I will e-mail you from home for directions.
Thanks all.
Nope, we’re good, thanks. We have a setup with everything we need to an 18-month-old. Portable high chair…toys…tranquilizers…duct tape…we’re good and set, thanks.
Might I just note that that would be cool as hell. Hope you make it.
