**Gorgon** , you live in Westchester, no? Once you cross the TZ, it’s a mere hop, skip and a fart to _Casa Dave-Guy_. Email me your 10-20 and I’ll see you get comprehensive directions. That goes for all my peeps out there. Directions are not difficult or involved. Most of them will be either the Thruway, the PIP or the Jersey Turnpike/GSP. But I need to know where everyone is starting from. Email me ASAP to let me know where your point of origin is, so I can put together good directions for you. Do this sooner, rather than later, as the last couple of weeks tend to get rather busy for me at work. Those who are late will not get fruit cup. ---

I’m bumpin’ this puppy again, and I’m serious as a pimple on prom night, folks. Anyone who wants/needs/desires/requires/don’t have/must have directions to _Casa Dave-Guy_, email me now, right this second, I’m not kiddingIreallymeanit. I ask this as a favor to me, because the end of every month is crunch time for me, and I will not be happy if I have to work my butt off AND give directions to people at the same time. I don’t multi-task well. So please contact me and tell me where you’re coming from. I imagine we’ll all want to get to the Faire by 11:00 or noon at the very latest. This is subject to change, but I wanted to establish this so that people could plan on their drive time. ---

Yaaaaay! **Persephone** got her ticket! _::happy Dave-Guy dance::_ Okay, folks, I’m serious, here. I want emails from people so I can give them directions to my house. I’ve been in touch with **Billdo** and **Euty** , and **Zyada** has emailed me, but I’m holding off on her because things are still up in the air about her flight (no ten inpunded). Look, we’re meeting at _Casa Dave-Guy_ Saturday morning. **TruePisces** has promised to bring banana bread, and I think I’ll supply cinnamon buns or something along with coffee. So let’s go, people! I promise, I won’t make you do yard work or anything. Contact me. ---

I got the 3rd off work today, so instead of lifting roughly a ton of pet supplies that Saturday, I will be staring at DoperCleavage and such. W00T. Thus was it written; thus it shall be done. ---

Niether you nor anyone else will be staring at very much DoperCleavage if you don’t contact me and tell me where you’re starting from so I can give you proper directions. [sub]I swear, this is like trying to organize a basket of puppies…[/sub] Come on, people, we only got a couple weeks here! ---

Shameless bump to see if we can cajole any more people into this. And maybe get Dave to bump me again 😃 ---

While my life currently resembles a ride on a roller coaster, it appears that I will be able to attend the RenFaire after all. I have recently relocated to Orange County and have made arrangements for a cow orker to cover my job that date. Barring a last minute loop the loop, I’ll be there. So, Dave, if I can get directions from Middletown to wherever we’re meeting, this puppy’s in the basket. ---

**Toons** , are you coming to my house, or are you going to save a little tire tread and meet us in Sterling Forest? ---

Arrrgh. I’m being strong-armed by the Philly contingent into going down there next weekend for reasons best left unspoken. Feh ! If I can go, I’ll meet deep in the cool woods of the inimitable Sterling Forest. ---

Awww, damn. Now I find out. Finally move from Western Pennsylvania out to Southern Jersey to be near all the cool stuff (well, and to land a job…), and I’m missing out. Note to self: Must post and read boards religiously again. And must kick **punha** for not bringing this to my attention earlier. (Actually, I’ll hold back on the kicking, as he can kick himself for missing the opportunity to see li’l ole moi in a corset.) Have mucho fun, peoples. 😃 ---

I may just honor y’all with the presence of King Arthur. In other words, I might be able to come to this shindig after all! Would someone who has directions from 87/287 or the Garden State mind emailing me the directions to La Casa Dave-Guy? it’s [elizabethgeller@hotmail.com](mailto:elizabethgeller@hotmail.com) Muchas gracias. ---
