> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ace0Spades \* > Hee. Just to recap the space that remains here; RTFirefly has taken one space; which leaves proper couches for one or two more dopers; floor space for 'bout 10 if people are friendly and don’t snore overmuch; and we do have a cat. Hey, didn’t I email you about a spot on the floor or couch or whatever? ---

I’m just in here to say that I am **still** freakin’ THERE barring natural disaster. If I can only come up with $10 for the weekend I will freakin’ bring my own crackers. Mwahahaha. And planning to carpool in my vehicle, so I **know** I have a ride. No cleavage shirt, tho. And it’s possible I’m bringing a non-Doper (but Doper-friendly) friend along as well, ha-HA! ---

This might be a good time to mention that I’m planning on going. And if I can beg a place to crash from someone? ---

After I spent two and a half hours trying to hunt you down in midtown Manhattan. There’s more than one Starbucks near Penn Station, in case you hadn’t noticed. Knowing which one you intended to be in would have been a plus. ---

**Waterj2** : Hey, you did, didn’t cha? I think you said you weren’t sure – want me to hold a space or no? **Mrs. Robyn** : Yes m’am. Honeymoon suite comin’ right up. **Hama** : I’m looking forward to seeing you again, kiddo. Didn’t bring a tent, did you? I think we’re down to the backyard; gets kind of cold, too. 🙂 ---

Yes, if you could, please hold a space. Thanks. So, uh, is there any sort of itinerary yet? Not that I’m not a last minute kinda guy myself, but just something specific to look forward to? ---

Actually, **RT** , I really think this “cawfee” thing has run its course. Really. That, and I have only just realized that this year I shant have the same location to stay at as last, and thus, I’m in trouble. I figure my wife’ll be along, too (probably) and so I am seeing a bit of a problem. Bah! We shall persevere, Yossarian! ---

If anyone still needs floor space, I’ve got a hotel room at 31st and 5th (or so). There’s only the one bed, and I can’t actually vouch for how _much_ floor space there is (having never stayed there), but the offer stands nonetheless. I’ll be there during the nights of the 2nd through the 5th (four nights, that is). ---

Barring other alternatives, may I be the first to take you up on that offer, **Lindy**? [sub]Actually, could you get in trouble for having additional people staying in your room?[/sub] ---

Well, they say it’s like $20 extra per person per night (with a maximum of three people per room), so no biggie. You’re there. We can sort out the details via e-mail. ---

Yeah, along **LindyHopper** ’s lines, anyone up for sharing a room? Or, if no one is, any NY Dopers still have floorspace? I can afford the flight in, and about $200 for lodging, but that’s it. So sharing is definitely in order. I’ll be there the nights of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Email if you’d like, and thanks. ---
