NYC (or NY/NJ/CT Metro Area) Dopefest - 7/21

You could bring your family. It looks to be a rather small gathering.

I am going to have to pass of the Dopefest. A family obligation has occured.

With regrets,
Jim

So does that just leave the three of us? Are we still going to do this?

E-Sabbath, as a sort of aside, I PM’ed you back with a question as well.

I’ll be there! And I’ll bring beer. Only enough beer for 4 people is needed, though?

Ok, yay! And enough beer for 3 - I won’t be drinking any beer. Yuck! :slight_smile:

Not a beer sort, myself. Beverage of choice is Diet Pepsi.

Well, okay, I’ll bring my wii and maybe some barbeque. I hope it travels well.

OH and I have this board game that kicks so much butt that nobody will play it with me. It’s acutally hard for myself.

I can bring some chips, I guess. I may bring something more complicated; it depends on what I feel like carrying on the train. Perhaps some dessert (cookies or something uncomplicated.)

We shall see.

cookies=good

My apologies for bailing, but my dad’s in the hospital plus I have to work this weekend to hit a major deadline. :frowning: I have no idea how I’ll swing the two of them as it is…

Have fun!

I’m still planning on coming. Foodwise though, uh, I’ll have to think about that a little bit. E-Sabbath if it’s worth your while coming to 34th, around when would that be?

Well, looks like I’ll be… I dunno. Either round 10:30-11:30 AM, I guess. PM me your phone number, I’ll make sure everyone gets together in the City.

I still want to go! I make no promises about staying all day as I will have purchased HP7 at midnight on Friday, but I would love the opportunity to meet some other dopers. Would you mind terribly emailing me or pming me directions somebody? I have never been to Brooklyn before and I get lost very easily.

I just sent you an email pbbth.

Woohoo! Cool. E-Sabbath has got some kind of cool plan for herding us all together. Looking forward to it.

Yay! Thanks Zebra!

Indeed. Everyone PM me your cell number and when you intend to hit the City.
I shall round us all up, and we shall proceed in one group to the mysTERious destination.

So, for confirmation: Anamika and iwakura43 are going to meet me.

pbbth, are you coming in through Grand Central or Port Authority/34th?
Millit the Frail is a native, will get there by themselves.

A: Does anyone want to hit the Kwik-E-Mart before we head for Zebra’s? It’s on 42nd.
B: I will be bringing good foodings. Is anyone a veggie/offended by pork/a huge rib fan, as it will be really good barbeque. Right now, my meal count is 5, and I will be picking them up after 5 PM, but before 7, tonight.

Generally, the plan is that I will hit Grand Central at some point around 9ish, and then bounce around the city collecting people until we’re all together, then we shall set off in a group to Zebra’s. Less chance of getting lost that way.

For distinction’s sake: Yellow/Orange t-shirt with Darwin on the front. Floppy hat with computer-pixel camoflauge pattern, suitable for fishing. Technical description is ‘Digital Desert Boonie Hat’. Probably with at least two backpacks and maybe a bag.

A - Sure!
B - Nope!

I think I will be wearing capris. I have long curly hair that should distinguish me enough. I don’t know what shirt yet and prolly won’t until 11 Pm tonight.

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
