So do I. BTW, I’d be getting back from the Key West area with the family. We’ll see when we can schedule the trip. ---

I am SO there! Well, I haven’t looked at my calendar yet, but baring any other commitments, which I don’t think I have, I am SO there! ---

I might be able to. Classes will have started by then, but I’ll see what I can manage… this time I will actually be able to get in the bars! Whoot! ---

Might as well mark me down as a “maybe”. I don’t have any specific plans to be east in January but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if I happened to be around. Also, I can’t read the thread without replying and can’t bear to see myself on the “no in stone” list. -wm ---

I’ve been to the last three and I _intend_ to be at this one assuming that: \*I have the money necessary \*I cadge a place to crash from someone \*I can carpool in some way \*Monsters don’t eat my head I will almost assuredly be going without accompaniment this year. Next year. When it happens. Assuming I can make it. Yarrrrrrr!!! ---

As this is after our accounting year ends, I may be able to make this. I was really bummed when I would see those NY mega dope fest threads. I couldn’t even bring myself to read them because I knew that because of work I couldn’t attend. And now, dates that I can work with. Yippppeeee!! My calendar is marked. ---

We have a family thing sometime in January. If there’s no conflict, we’ll be at the 'fest. ---

Damn, I thought I had already posted to this thread. In any case, **jeremy evil** and I will endeavor to be there, driving down with **CuriousCanuck** (see above). A couple of months back a certain NYC Doper told me Jer and I would be welcome to stay at his place… ---

As usual, there will be questions as to where we will stay during the nights, but you can certainly count us on being there. This Fest is far too fun to miss. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by OxyMoron \* > \*\*Well, howd’yalikethat: [Transit Museum Grand Reopening, September 16 2003](http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/mta/museum/). \*\* Yeah, that’s almost Spring of 2003. **Zoltarb** has been passing by the entrance once a week this whole summer wondering why it hasn’t opened yet. You keep your Manhattan-ass over on your side of the bridge and let the _real_ Brooklynites take care of buisness over here. FTR, I am not a real Brooklynite. Born and raised in The Boogie Down and kidnapped by my then future husband. **Zoltarb** was born in Coney Island Hospital (much to my consternation. I had visions of clown doctors and roller coaster stirrups), how more Brooklyn can you get?
