NYC MegaDopefest Weekend IV (January 16-19, 2004): Preliminary Schedule

Going to be wearing the kilt this year, UncleBill? :wink:

I might just myself… :eek:

I really want to meet Annie-Xmas, since she’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. :frowning:

Oh, and Billdo, if you’ve started keeping track (which you possibly haven’t), jeremy evil won’t be coming with me. He’s not really into the Dopefest thing, even on a smaller Doperéal-type scale, so this would overwhelm him.

A weekend away from the wife. Yippee! Shhhh…

I surely hope that with all those dates, there will be SOME day that I can make it. :smiley: Looking forward to finally meeting some of you…

I’ve had a change of plans.

I’m not going to be on a research vessel off the Caribbean coast of Panama at that time.

It will be off the Pacific coast. :smiley:

It will be up in the air!?!?!?!
Ok. Anyway, I think we’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? I’d like to get a Doperfest crew there.

Oh darn, we’re going to have to deal with Eutychus and Mehitabel, too. What a miserable party that will make. :wink:

And, I’m afraid, Colibri that a research vessel in the Carribean is an acceptable excuse, but one in the Pacific is not. You’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. They’re pretty near America in any event. Perhaps we’ll be in touch.

UncleBill, you don’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 says: “We encourage all attendees at these events to obey the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are held.” That being said, Blondies is a restaurant and thus should let under-21’s in without a problem. Ace Bar, on the other hand is a bar, and thus theoretically doesn’t allow underage people. On the other hand, I’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 ID’s of may not be consistently checked.

I can hope that’s the case. I’m gettin’ tired of being asked for ID. I’m in my thirties, people!

If it’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. :stuck_out_tongue:

And I also want to bury my face in your wife’s boobalicious cleavage again. That was fun.

As part of the brilliant future Broadway duo, I also would love to see boobalicious cleavage. :slight_smile:

Anyway, it looks like a go for me for sure. IF I can swing Monday off as well, I will. A “friend” Meghan might wish to come as well, but if she comes, I might once again stay at the Wolcott, with it’s lovely view of the top of the ESB from the front doors, close to the local Wendy’s and Adult video store…

Put me on the “if at all possible” 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 doesn’t come then I can add you, but I don’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 :frowning:

I know you’ll be busy (ahem) with Meghan, CC, but we have to get our picture taken underneath a B’way theatre marquee, so I can Photoshop in “TRASH! the musical” later. :smiley:

:smiley: Yup. Maybe under “The Producers”.

matt, if you need I ride, I perhaps can provide.
I’m not 100% sure what I’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 I’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 response… but then again, maybe you were busy with your new “friend”. :wink:

You have?

I moved and my email address changed. I didn’t even see them!

So to further this hijack, use my work email address. Umm…

myfirstname dot mylastname at bloodservices dot ca

Eonwe, can you be my backup plan, in case plans with my brilliant and devoted co-author CuriousCanuck somehow fall through?

heh, sure. Right now I don’t think I’m bringing anyone with me.

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 car’s clutch falling out, and the year before by three feet of snow!)

I do, however, need a way to get down there (I’m afraid to drive into the city.) Maybe even a place to stay. I’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 drinking…but at least I can get in!
