I might be able to come too, if I can find someone to travel in and out with me–NYC makes me very nervous. The only caveat is that if there’s much smoking wherever we get together, I won’t be able to stay long. Allergies. ---

I’m in, barring any unforseen difficulties like last time. ---

Just a warning, folks. For me it doesn’t matter - May 12 is on one of my Fire Island weekends, and since I’m seeing my parents the following week anyway I have no need to make a pilgrimage. Anyway, the likelihood is that I _won’t_ be there unless the weather is truly horrendous. (Pray for snow? ;)) ---

Luckily, my mom is opposed to Mother’s Day on the grounds that it is a “Hallmark holiday” as she puts it. Though I’m sure I will call her on Sunday just because. ---

The question of whether or not I can make it depends on whether or not my exams are over by then and whether or not I can afford the gas money, the second consideration being the more worry some. (worrysome? worrisome? Eh, screw it.) And because this is a pseudo-north east thread, anyone who would be interested in a Burlington dopefest, let me know. Come on, city kids! The Fresh Air Fund has been sending us bedraggled kids from the city for years! It’s time for a few bedraggled intellectuals to join the mix! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ExTank \* > While I’m not Santa, I’m making the list and checking it twice… And somehow you still missed Geobabe. Put me down as a maybe. I have some out-of-town visitors sometime in May, but I don’t know the exact dates, yet. ---

Missed it by that much. I’m working that weekend. But if this meeting ends up being postponed until the 19th or the 26th, drop me a line. ---

If I’m coming, hopefully **lurker** will be too… Should be, anyway. I’m not sure if he’ll be able to make it if I’m _not_ in the area by then, but I’ll do my best to get him there if I am. (I can be a pretty persuasive lady, or so I’ve been told! 😉 ) ---

You forgot to put **Cajun Man** on the definite list. Remember, he’s the one who posted that both he and **Dr. Matrix** would be there. They come in a set, you know. ---

I see my proofreading skills are a bit rusty. **Cajun Man** did make the A list. Forget I said anything. ---
