NYC MegaDopefest Schedule – Jan. 2-5, 2003 – Please check in

I’m flying in on Thursday, and I’ll be doing most of everything. You should ask JoeyHemlock about the Korean thing on Thursday though, if he’s going, I’m going. I plan on going with GeoBill to the Museum on Saturday, and would very much like to have a ton of bagels before I fly back home on Sunday.

BTW, will I be the only Euro-Doper? And how much should I be able to charge for Swedish Kisses?

The current exchange rate is 1.35 Swedish Kisses per US Kilt Check.

But, there’s only one of me, and many men in kilts. However will I be able to check all kilts? What if I kiss someone who’s not in a kilt? What will I check then?

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that I am totally bummed that I am not able to get back there this winter. Snow on Christmas an’ a DopeFest an’ everything and here I am stuck in the frickin’ tropics… grumblemumbleragginfragginnutpuckers…

Enjoy, all.

I’m in for Korean on Thursday (so apparently Soda is too).
Friday night at the bar is a definite.
Saturday afternoon, I don’t know. I’ll glom on to someone.
Saturday night at America is a definite.
Sunday morning at Billdo’s is a very good thing.

I’m sure you’ll think of something. :wink:

Are there any NYDopers that have a bit of space for the Weird One and I?

I’d like to join folks for the Natural History Museum… I love that place, and haven’t been since I was a wee tot. :slight_smile:

I’m sure the guy will think of something, too.

Uh, you doin’ fedora checks, soda? Goatee checks? Anything?

Oh, I forgot to add…

Billdo check yer email, willya?

OK, my status.

It looks like I am leaving from Poughkippsie train station with racinchikki. And it seems she might not need a ride to the station, but I’m still available for one if you do. I’ll arrive at the samne time, so if I could get picked up with her I would appreciate whoever said they would do it. I will be attending dinner at America resteraunt, and hopefully the bagel brunch. It depends on when that commuter rail travels…

Right, bouv, I don’t need a ride now, but thanks for the offer. Poughkeepsie’s an hour and a half from here, so if you’re coming from … um… that Rensasomething-city I can’t spell, as your email address suggests, it’s probably closer to two. I’m not sure where in P’sie the station is, so if you do, let me know? What time do you wish to board the train?

Okay, I’ll be skipping Thursday but I’ll be there Friday night all the way through Sunday brunch. Probably do the Museum of Natural History on Saturday.

This time last year I was lurking in the planning thread, trying to get up the nerve to go. Awfully glad I did. :smiley: Is it Friday yet?

I know this thread is for those attending but, I wanted to wish my fellow birthday dopers, **racinchikki
** and Zappo a safe and happy birthday. I so wish I could be there. I will raise a glass for each of you on January 5th.

Honey

Well, thank you Honey! And the same to you.

We shall be sure to raise a glass for you, too. :slight_smile:

Anyone interested in getting together for a late lunch (meet 1:30-2pm) on Friday? My train’s scheduled to get in around 12:45, and once I drop my bags at the Red Roof, I’ll be looking for food, which is always best with good company. I’m thinking deli, but I’m flexible. :slight_smile:

The Tees are definitely in for the dim sum on Saturday afternoon. We will not be at the dinner or any of the other events though. Dim sum fits in well with BabyTee’s schedule. Sounds great!

I’m RSVPing for two brave non-Dopers.

Lisa will be joining us for dinner on Thursday, dim sum (I think?) and the subway tour on Saturday, dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday.

Lynne has yet to confirm her plans, but please put her down for a tentative on Thursday dinner and Sunday brunch.

If anyone knows of people who plan to come but haven’t RSVPed yet, please encourage them to do so!

[sub]Woo![/sub]

I’m doing my best to show up if y’all don’t mind a newbie poking his head into the good times.

Probably just the evening events on Friday and Saturday.

I am 99.9% certain that I won’t be there.

I work 6 days a week, and I had to take a lot of time off last month for medical stuff. I work for a really small company, where we all put in a lot of time, so it kind of taxed the rest of the staff. I wouldn’t feel right asking for a Saturday off when everyone else has to work, after taking all that time off. I thought of driving up Friday after work (cuz broccoli! will be here for good as of tomorrow so I’d have a travel partner) and back that night, but… I know I’d end up having too much fun and I’d call in sick to work, and that would be a suck thing to do to my coworkers.

I can’t believe kaf will be on my coast and I’ll miss him! You all have fun, be (relatively) safe, and take pictures. I’ll be thinking of you.
