Ok, if we’re talking this weekend, everyone pray **really** hard that I get a job and move the week before! (Since that’s my master plan anyway) **Falcon** , if that works, maybe we can get **Scralden** down that weekend instead of the one we were talking about??? I’ll do my damnedest to be here for this, though. ---

TP - that would work…I think he already asked for that one weekend off, tho. Hopefully he could switch it… ---

If he did, and can’t, we can still get together when we were talking about, b/c I **know** I’ll be in the area then. I personally wouldn’t mind trying to do both, as long as I’m there for them both. Just don’t know what the finances will be like, or what other people’s availability will be. ---

Being a native RIer who now lives in NY, I’ve been keeping an eye on this thread. Count me in if it’s in the City. ---

Unfortunately, whatever is set up, I believe I will be unable to attend, as I lack transportation. Sorry, count me out. ---

Well, I can’t make it to NYC on the 12th. When I read northeastern dopefest, I was a little annoyed the you mentioned NY, NJ, CT, RI, and MA, but not VT! Oh well, everyone always forgets about us. Maybe we can do a dopefest later in the summer in Boston, or in NH, or something. ---

It’s a possibility. 🙂 ---

Okay! The 12th in “the city that never sleeps” (NYC for y’all young’uns) is looking to be the ticket. And for you folks saying that you have no transportation: what about taking a train? Doesn’t the E. Coast boast a fairly extensive rail/light rail network? ---

Woohoo! All right, NYC on the 12th it is. **ExTank** , as the OP, you get the honor of deciding whether we should start yet another thread so as to catch the attention of the city folk. ---
