Meros and other SDMB expats are aware through the MADoper egroup. I’ve just dispatched a reminder.
Sorry to hear that. How about Roland Orzabal? Don’t tell us you two are staying home with a drunk chicken. 
I e-mailed Meros earlier today. He replied that he will most likely be unable to attend.
I’m awaiting responses on a few other e-mails.
Something’s come up and I may not be able to attend, I’ll keep y’all posted.
Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the two-week countdown of “oops, not actually gonna make it” posts begins…
Snif Their loss. Mayhaps I’ll get some kimche this year, having sadly missed out on the Gettysdope II vintage. 
Haha. It’s to be hoped that he’ll drop back into this thread soon to say what’s up.
Crap. All the replies have been negative so far.
Wisely, many Dopers in this thread have not listed their locations. This prevents me from figuring out who else lives in hit-up-for-a-ride radius.
Hmm, mayhap I can strike a bargain with one of the plain people and ride a covered wagon to Lancaster and head over to the house at Pooh corner.
I could start a fire so massive, DWC must come down to fight it.
hmm.
I’m still trying to attend, and will most likely be able to. One of my closest friends from college is going to be in town for just a few days in order to attend a wedding, and I’d like to drink a few beers with him. I’m trying to work our schedules so I can both attend the Dopefest, and go out drinkin’
Like I said, I may not be able to attend. If I wasn’t gonna, I’d have said 'naw awww!"
It ain’t like we ran out, man.
Tris
Of course not. When the kimchee is opened, it’s the rest of us that run out…of the pavilion…
My bad. Too busy socializing-gimme a whap upside the head when you’re serving this year, and I’ll be sure to indulge.
If you find yourself totally hosed, figure on doing the bus thing to York-I can run over from my house and pick you up before heading to the party point. Return to Philly would also be of the busly variety.
Yay, thanks, dances – I’m hereby removing myself from consideration as the good doctor’s personal chauffeur.
Are we going to do a book exchange again this year? I’ve got a couple of things sitting around that I would consider Doper-worthy. (And if you do bring books, write your username in them – it’s fun to see where these random reads came from.)
BTW – there’s a “buy soda, get free water” deal happening at my supermarket right now – so I’ll have a couple of 12-packs of 1-liter bottles that I’ll be happy to donate to the cause – whoever’s bringing beverages, bring something other than bottled water!
You volunteered on three seperate occassions to drive me somewhere. Wjhere you get this attitude that I continually impose harsh and unreasonable demands on you, escapes me.
DancesWithCats The bus cost $19 last time, plus the fare on the el, plus a transfer to the local bus to get home. I view doubling all those and still being reliant on people to pick me up and drop me off at the terminal as rather unsatisfactory.
Yes – I volunteered on three separate occasions. I’ve been trying to make it clear that you should not rely on my volunteering to do so on any given occasion in the future; depending on my own plans, such an invitation may or may not be forthcoming.

- The lovely Mrs. Teasdale will likely drop me off, then go spend a few hours at the Boyds Bear Barn nearby (a building with four stories of Boyds Bears is her idea of a good time),then rejoin us when she’s had all she can bear.
As far as I know, I can still come, but I haven’t received any new information regarding employment. (Or my AP scores :mad: )
For those of you wondering who I am, check my sig. (And now I make sure that my sig is checked)
Are there going to be spare coolers, of either (or both) the ice chest and dispensing liquids variety? I have neither, so will need to either borrow or acquire same. Dispenser cooler for lemonade (made with fizzy water if I can find it) and ice chest for bottled water and (possibly, depending on cash) sports drinks, fruit juices, and sodas. Maybe not too many sodas, since they tend to dehydrate.
