I…doooooooooooooo…
Actually, yeah, I do…that’s going to be our first stop. 
I may have missed this, but what time is our little soiree starting tomorrow? I can be there any time, I just don’t want to show up before anyone gets there and stand around bugging Zebra in the kitchen, but I don’t want to miss the crazy Kwik-E-Mart stories either.
Seriously though…what’s the deal with the Kwik-E-Mart? I pass through that station twice a day–is this something I need to see or is it just another bodega? 'Cause I have about six of those within a stone’s throw of home. Anyone? Kwik-E-Mart?
A Kwik-E-Mart is the thing just like in Simpsons, right? One they made to look just like it? Well, we’re just curious. Me being upstate, we don’t get quirky stuff like that up here much.
As for our soiree, hopefully the train I’m taking is going to hit GCT at 11:43, and I thought it was originally supposed to start around 1?
Er…Hal is coming? I thought he said he couldn’t! Numbers are going up again, I count (counts fingers) 7 with Hal, am I right?

Yes, that is 7. Anyone else?
Right. It’ll take about an hour to get from GCT to Zebra’s.
I will have to make a stop at 34th, and one at GCT, or possibly the people from 34th can meet us at GCT.
So, who’s going to meet at GCT, and who’s going to meet at Zebra’s?
You are making us walk, aren’t you?
DAMNIT!
Whoops…sorry to be misleading. While yes, I’ll be in NYC tomorrow, and yes, I’ll be going to the Kwik-E-Mart, I won’t be there as part of the Dopefest (unless timing just happens to work out that way).
My wife and I will be arriving in NYC roughly threeish, and heading right over to the store. If anyone happens to see me there, well then very cool…I wouldn’t count on it, though (I’ll be guy with goatee that hasn’t been trimmed in almost a year).
But… I had roast mutton!
Are you driving or taking the trains?
By subway train from GCT it will probably take 30 to maybe 45 minutes.
However
Now is the time for all good Zebras to clean their apartment within an inch of it’s life.
God! Where do I put all the porn?
On the INTERNET!
I hope you have plates, a working microwave, some drinks, some forks.
I have a bizarre amount of meat and barbeque sauce and bread and hush puppies and fried pickles (Mmm. Soaked in jalepeno brine for a day and a half before frying)
I have no idea how I’m going to get it into the city, but I’ll figure a way.
It looks like Zebra’s place is a straight shot from my place! Granted, it is the entire length of Manhattan away, but the A stops in front of my place and I can take that into Brooklyn and just walk the couple of blocks over. I will bring something delicious…probably brownies or cake of some sort because there is no such thing as too much dessert right?
I sure hope not as I am also bringing dessert! I also have to figure out how to pack it and bring it, it’s kind of a challenge.
… I has banana pudding.
Probably too much of it.
Yes I have those things.
Plates and forks? What do you think I am? Some sort of barbarian?
Actually if Zebra emails me his address by the morning, I can just hop the subway–didn’t realize it was on the C which goes to Port Authority.
LAKE PLACID!
1980 Winter Olympics. I was off by one.
Damn! My geography knowledge is spotty at best. Next time I suggest Pictionary or perhaps Cranium. Good to know about Lake Placid though…I will keep that in mind for the next time I need such information.
Spotty? My geography knowledge sucks eggs. I second the vote for Pictionary or really anything else. The game was fun, even in our ignorance.
Thanks, Zebra, for hosting, and thanks E-Sabbath, for bringing me over and for such good directions.
I quite enjoyed geography trivia
Additional props to Anaamika for coming out so far (!)
Eh, it was a good adventure.
Thank you all for coming. I don’t know why I didn’t take any photos to prove that women have actually visited my apartment.
I warned you guys that UBI would kick your ass, but nobody ever listens.
