So the semester is almost over (I have one week left. I have one week left. I have one…) and I am in dire need of a NYC trip, to spend time with my godfather (who is the most fantastic human being I know…) and wander the Village and go to Chinatown and…ooooh, I love New York.
I have a huge kick off of a major theater event in the beginning of June, so I know I’ll be rehersing my ass off. However, I did tell my godfather I’d come visit in May, and I’d like to stick to my word.
So how’s about a mini-doperfest either the last weekend in May (memorial day weekend, people might be going places…) or the first weekend in June. What say you all?

bump. Come on, I wanna play with the cool kids! Very informal, no countdown needed, SisterRiddles has given me the thumbs up for Memorial Day Weekend, given that she doesn’t have to work. (she waitresses, it’s possible she may have to.)
And Billdo: sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, I am just going through the surveys now. SisterRiddles has never seen the board, much less posted here.
Though I can’t claim to be one of the cool kids, I’d be all for another gathering. The last one was industrial payloads of fun. I don’t know nothin’ about nothin’ as far as NYC gathering-places go, however, and can merely offer my scinitllating presence. So I must then ask:
Is Brooklyn in the house?
Strong Island in the house?
Boogie-Down in the house?
Manhattan in the house?
Is Queens in the house?
Shaolin Island in the house?
'Cause Connecticut’s in the house.
a chance to meet the riddles sisters? I think perhaps I could pull myself away from my busy schedule of…um…listening to the radio and reading to make the drive to NYC.
I’m gonna be in NYC for a few days in either July or August with my mom and my best friend who lives in Conneticut. Just thought I’d let you guys know so you could prepare for my arrival.
First weekend in June I’m off to Chicago for the annual booksellers convention. Any of those booksellers give me any lip this time around I’m gonna remind them that they’ll all be replaced by robots in another two years.
Alright. Now this is more like it. So far we have:
Lux Fiat
Joe_Cool
Biggirl
psycat90
Ukulele Ike
Demo’s Flashy Shirt on Lux
I say we bit Barnes and Nobles and demand Eve’s book. I’ll bring a camera. Again, I can not commit SisterRiddles presence. Though with the Swiddles herself, SisterRiddles is simply an added bonus. (I’m fun alone, but paired with her, we take over whole coffeehouses. No lie.) Any suggestions on resturants to meet? I’m having a celebratory coffee session with SisterRiddles Wednesday (we’ll both be done with exams), I’ll ask her to finalize her work schedual, but I’d like to do memorial weekend myself. That way I get an extra day in the city.
It would be my privilege to be the Flashy-Shirted Demo Proxy. But hey, no need for you to shell out postage. Brotha Lux got his own stash of flashy shirts to draw upon in a pinch (no dragons on those, though, just flowers).
Memorial Day weekend is a definite maybe. (Gotta run it by the CEO, y’know). But getting into Manhattan is the proverbial piece o’ cake for me, living 30 minutes from the GWB as I do. Keep me posted, kids. When, where, what, who. I’ll take care of my own how, thanks. Casual dress, I assume. I’ll be the one with the red carnation.
As long as I’m not working that night, and the city is not on fire, I’ll be there. I assume I’ll have to be seeing as Lux will be staying at my house. Besides who could pass up a chance to meet the ever-charming Swimming Riddles?
coming to nyc??? a doperfest? im interested if i’m invited.
Straight outta Brooklyn, taken over Queens, SOULSLING in da HOUUUUUUUSE!
was that homey enough?
i always had trouble being homey. 2nd Ave. Deli sounds like a great place to congregate, its big, and well…
its kosher
Ah, Dreamworks. We meet again, my young friend. I wasn’t going to bug you twice in a row, but since you offered and all, I’d love to crash at your place. Thanks.
And for those who asked: The response I got when I asked if I would be welcome at the last NYC Doper gathering was, “The more, the merrier.” I would assume this still applies. Since no one else has said anything, I’ll take it upon myself to say, “Come on down! Or up! Or over! Just watch out for the pimps and C.H.U.D.s!”
Boo Hoo! I’ll have to wait 'till the SDCon 2000 to see you guys again. I can send Lux one of my flashy shirts though, so I can be there in spirit…
