I sure wish I could join you guys! But that’s OK - my wife and I will be arriving in NYC a month from today, we’ll have evenings free, and I certainly want to see you guys then. 🙂 I’ll start a thread in a coupla weeks, but meanwhile, be thinking about it! ---

Hey now, Gorgon. Far as I can tell, we’ll have a bigger crowd on Friday than on Saturday. So don’t accuse me of preempting! 😉 Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. ---

[sup]Tee hee[/sup] Well, it seems it’ll just be me an’ tha missus tonight. And it looks like I’ll get out of work a little early, so we’ll actually be right on time for once. Or maybe early. Isn’t that cool? Isn’t it? 🙂 ---

I’ ll be there for both Friday and Saturday. The thought of riding on the Cyclone when I’m all hung over just sets my stomach all a flutter. woo-hoo! Whoops I don’t feel too good now.But fear not I trust If I become weak in the knees Biggirl will just rent a stroller to pop me in and you all can take turns pushing my weak and alchol saturated body along the boardwalk. If this gets tiring then after a while we can take turns. BC sighs please form an orderly line I promise you’ll all get a turn beig pushed in the stroller. ---

Sorry, can’t make this one, am off to long beach tomorrow. Have a great time on the Cyclone – remember, part of the fun is hoping the ride won’t collapse! ---

I would come, but I’m going to be hanging out with the guys from Cypress Hill this weekend. A drummer I know is in town recording tracks for their new album. He’s invited me to hang out starting at about 4:00 today. We’re going to start at their Hotel room, party at clubs all around the city, and then cruise down to Atlantic City for the rest of the weekend. Too fuckin’ cool. I’ve been a Cypress fan for a long time. B Real is gonna hook me up with some Vinyl that you can’t get in stores. I love this town. Next time . . . DaLovin’ Dj ---

Just for the record, is it still Flight 151 tonight? Jerseydiamond is planning to go, and I’m trying to get her the details. ---

Okay, I take it back. I _don’t_ have to work Saturday. So, I’ll be coming to Coney Island along with the Beansprout. Yay! Hopefully, someone will be willing to keep an eyeball on him while I risk life and limb on the Cyclone. **Beerchick** –I’ll have a stroller with me. You and the Sprout can take turns. **del** –I’m prolly up for the museum too. I’ve read a lot about Coney Island in its heyday. Endlessly fascinating! I won’t be at Flight 451 tonight unfortunately. I can only do one of the two, and I’m not missing my chance to go to Coney Island! **RTF** –I’m definitely up for hanging out with you and the missus. Keep us posted. **dalovindj** –You lucky sot! ---

Flight 151 is still on for tonight, Joe. I don’t think anyone announced an official time, but it’s probably 6:30… Losers like Gorgon Heap will be gone by 8:15, and that’s when the real party will get started. Oh and DJ? Cool motherfucking BEANS. ---

The Coney Island Museum mostly has stuff (from what I understand, I’ve never been there) from the grand days of the Coney Island boardwalk and the various amusement parks. So things like carousel horses, beach photos, souvenirs, vintage ads and promotional posters. I hear they also have a tattoo parlor, to make it worthy of the whole Coney Island boardwalk vibe.
