Going to be wearing the kilt this year, **UncleBill**? šŸ˜‰ I might just myselfā€¦ :eek: I really want to meet **Annie-Xmas** , since sheā€™s into musicals. Speaking of which, my brilliant collaborator **CuriousCanuck** and I will most likely be leaving town on the Sunday, so Avenue Q is out for us. ā˜¹ Oh, and **Billdo** , if youā€™ve started keeping track (which you possibly havenā€™t), **jeremy evil** wonā€™t be coming with me. Heā€™s not really into the Dopefest thing, even on a smaller DoperĆ©al-type scale, so this would overwhelm him. A weekend away from the wife. Yippee! _Shhhhā€¦_ ---

I surely hope that with all those dates, there will be SOME day that I can make it. šŸ˜ƒ Looking forward to finally meeting some of youā€¦ ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Colibri_ > It will be off the Pacific coast. It will be _up in the air_!?!?!?! Ok. Anyway, I think weā€™ll actually get to making our plans when Turkey-Day activities have run their course. Looking forward to seeing you all again. ---

Why, thank you \*\* scott evil \*\*. Have you ever been to Footlight Records? Iā€™d like to get a Doperfest crew there. ---

Oh darn, weā€™re going to have to deal with **Eutychus** and **Mehitabel** , too. What a miserable party that will make. šŸ˜‰ And, Iā€™m afraid, **Colibri** that a research vessel in the Carribean is an acceptable excuse, but one in the Pacific is not. Youā€™ll have to be there. **Annie-Xmas** , one thing we were talking about was extending the Comic/Game store down to Forbidden Planet and the Strand, so your thoughts might just work out as part of the official plan. Theyā€™re pretty near America in any event. Perhaps weā€™ll be in touch. **UncleBill** , you donā€™t know what a pain it was to arrange the subways so **typo\_mna** could get a Swedish lesson. **DAVEW0071** , you know, of course, that the [official disclaimer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=103190) says: ā€œWe encourage all attendees at these events to obey the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are held.ā€ That being said, Blondies is a restaurant and thus should let under-21ā€™s in without a problem. Ace Bar, on the other hand is a bar, and thus theoretically doesnā€™t allow underage people. On the other hand, Iā€™ve heard, only hypothetically mind you, that if a large group of older people walk into a bar with just a small number of younger folks, the IDā€™s of may not be consistently checked. ---

I can hope thatā€™s the case. Iā€™m gettinā€™ tired of being asked for ID. Iā€™m in my thirties, people! ---

If itā€™s January and New York City, it is a kilt, **scott**. No worries. ---

Oh, good, **UncleBill**. I want to get a better, longer look this year. šŸ˜› And I also want to bury my face in your wifeā€™s boobalicious cleavage again. That was fun. ---

As part of the brilliant future Broadway duo, I also would love to see boobalicious cleavage. šŸ™‚ Anyway, it looks like a go for me for sure. IF I can swing Monday off as well, I will. A ā€œfriendā€ Meghan might wish to come as well, but if she comes, I might once again stay at the Wolcott, with itā€™s lovely view of the top of the ESB from the front doors, close to the local Wendyā€™s and Adult video storeā€¦ ---

Put me on the ā€œif at all possibleā€ list. Also, any chance of getting a ride this year? ---

Well, if Meghan comes, then there are me, Scott, Lauren and her which fills me up. If she doesnā€™t come then I can add you, but I donā€™t want to commit to that then have to say no later. If you can find another ride, then it might be better to do so. Sorry, bud ā˜¹ ---

I know youā€™ll be busy (ahem) with Meghan, **CC** , but we have to get our picture taken underneath a Bā€™way theatre marquee, so I can Photoshop in ā€œTRASH! the musicalā€ later. šŸ˜ƒ ---

šŸ˜ƒ Yup. Maybe under ā€œThe Producersā€. ---

**matt** , if you need I ride, I perhaps can provide. Iā€™m not 100% sure what Iā€™ll be doing the week before the fest; I may actually be up in Canada, in which case I would be happy to swing by Montreal to get you and anyone else who needed a ride. Or, you (and anyone else who needs) could take the bus down here the night before and we could drive down from here. Just let me know. ---

Oh, and while Iā€™ve got you here, **CuriousCanuck** , let me express my extreme displeasure at the fact that I have e-mailed you numerous times and not gotten a responseā€¦ but then again, maybe you were busy with your new ā€œfriendā€. šŸ˜‰ ---

As far as I know, I am still in. I swear to God, that for once I will make it to a NYC Dopefest! (after being denied two years ago by my carā€™s clutch falling out, and the year before by three feet of snow!) I do, however, need a way to get down there (Iā€™m afraid to drive into the city.) Maybe even a place to stay. Iā€™ll look at the hotels and see the prices, if they are reasonable then I might be able to stay there, or split a room with someone perhaps? And now that I am 21 I can do the whole bar thing! Of course, since I am broke as all fuck and drinks from bars are pricey, I might be drinkingā€¦but at least I can get in!
