Moxie is so nasty. How can you drink that? ---

**Rasa** : > [@](#): > > Slummerville! Yeah, it’s true. They used to say they should just fence the whole thing in and give everybody 10 to life. Not far from the truth. I still had fun. Primo’s pizza used to be the best damn pizza ever. They made a mean cheesesteak too. And we had Somerville Lumber . . .and . . .and . . .well that’s about all somerville had going for it I guess. ☹ DaLovin’ Dj ---

**Eonwe** , thanks for the heads-up. I generally shun Price Whopper like the plague (OF COURSE :)) but this may be just the excuse I need to go use their check-your-self-out machines. And I don’t mean mirrors. ---

Yersinia- what’s the word on you making the Boston dopefest? ---

Our school sells Moxie, which I find amusing on some level. I might bring some so we can have a group taste test. Dopers who are uncertain- any word? We want to know who to expect. ---

Count me in for the concert. If anyone needs a lift, I can take three passengers (four in a pinch, literally). ---

Robot Arm, sign me and Jen up as passengers. It’ll be a wonderful concert. 🙂 ---

I am a definite for the dopefest and the concert sounds like a blast. I’ll have room for 3 other people in my car coming down from VT and while in Boston ---

Unfortunately I’m in the middle of a job situation right now. I’m kinda bouncing between 2 stores, so I don’t know which one I’ll be at for definite in Novermber. Hell, I don’t even know where I’ll be next week! We’re reformatting the management system of the whole company pretty much. So my answer of “I dunno” is gonna be in play for awhile now…sorry about the indecisiveness… ---

Just to let everyone know, the aquarium stop is open again. I saw it in the paper yesterday. And I’m officially putting my name on the there list. ---

**Andy** , I don’t really know what my exact plans are yet… probably, but not definitely… although if you needed a ride that’d help me make up my mind. Oh, BTW, is this concert something I should be getting tickets for ahead of time? And **Wonko** , there is _no_ room in my car for a goat, so I’m affraid that **whatmove** will have to find another way to get to Boston if he plans on bringing livestock. ---

If you wouldn’t mind, Jen and I might need a ride back to Hanover. (It’s right on the way, n’est-ce pas?) I don’t know if anyone from Dartmouth is going yet. Goats! Woo! I don’t think this is an advance purchase necessary kind of thing. ---

That’s no problem at all… do you need a ride _down_ to Boston as well? ---

Most Rent-A-Centers have them too. ---
