I… might be coming 
Due to the generosity of a few friends and low transatlantic airfares in the post-xmas climate, it’s looking like I might be able to make it.
I’ve only been to America once before and never on my own or to NY. I am tentatively excited.
Looks like I’m goin’. The ‘rents have ok’d it so I’ll be goin’ with 'punha. I’ve always wanted to go to New York. w00t. 
Yeah, very little.
Sorry; I’m not being snarky. It’s just that that’s one of my favorite snappy comebacks, and I never get to use it, because I’m such a nice guy and all.
Anyhoo, yeah, e-mail me whenever you want, and we’ll discuss it.
You got it. I have to discuss the details with my wife to make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid like forget this is happening.
Oh, and it will be very fun to meet you, Fran. Great that you can skip the Atlantic to participate.
Yay, Frannie! It’ll be so cool to meet you IRL. I’ve never met a foreign Doper before.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Frannie is coming to Noo Yawk for my birthday!
English birfday smooches! Meeting Frannie in person! New York City, laid out like a carpet of jewels at my feet!
Oh maaaaaan, I am so there. . .
Yikes, how many people are going to show for this?
I might have to stop lurking and attend.
I’m curious, I’m in New York City, I’m on vacation that week, I’m a newbie–what am I in for?
Y’all new guys … there was something more tyhan 100 of us last year, but asides from the actual dinner Saturday night, most folks split up into smaller groups to do things they wanted to do.
One morning a number of people went to the Brooklyn Museum (I among them) while others, who had never been to the city before went to the Statue of Libert and the Empire State Building.
You can do whatever you want, though you may find it easier to go with a group that is doing something you will enjoy.
Pssst. Gorgon. There were something like 65 of us last year.
As for what happens, yeah, that’s basically the deal. The main event is on Saturday night, but there are tons of other things organized for Friday night through Sunday brunch, and they’ll get posted here as the time draws nearer and people get struck with bolts of inspiration.
Hey, kiddo, I only know what I’m told. Since I got to the dinner late, I was told “something like 100.”
So there! 
Hey all, the second installment of the NYC MegaDopefest III thread has been posted with the details of the Dopefest Dinner. Check it out over here.
If a kindly moderator could close this thread, that’ll help direct comments to the new thread. Thanks.
