I wish I could hook up with the group going to Newport on the 25th, but once again work is interfering with my life!  Sunday could have worked, our Cape plans fell through.  Labor Day might be tough too, the daughter is going back to school that day.  The hub, is taking her don't know if I will be able to escape.  Oh well, have a blast!

Birdie, we will be dining at the Black Pearl Sunday night, you're more than welcome to join us if that fits in to your plans.
Broc....We'll be at the mansion on and off all day Monday.

At this point, it seems that I will be attending.  Not sure why I'm feeling so hesitant this year.

In any event, I'm sure I'll have a good time, and I'm looking forward to meeting some of my fellow posters.

Regards,

John

Sorry Bob, I wasn't able to get on the computer till now and miss the chance to meet you. Thinking the chances of being able to catch you guys on Monday had been impossible I ended up working my tail off in the yard.  I would have loved to have been able to meet you guys.  Thank you so much for including me.  Have a fabulous time.

I probably won't actually register for the Festival, since I imagine they are doing the same idiocy with pre registration that they did last time.  If I go, I will just sit in the lobby and look for some old friends I only get to see on these occasions.

Gothick--

So, like, are you going to be working the lobby?  My mom wants to know when you've decided whether you're going to be there or not.  'Cause if YOU'RE not going to be there, she sees little point in attending.  She's already pissed that Annie and Carol aren't going, and I'm pissed that Carol's not going.........we're all just pissed.

P.S.--TERRY308, are you going to be there?  I need someone to talk to who appreciates Barnabas, as do I!

I'm in love with Barnabas so you can hang with me if Terry isn't there.  I'll be in the lobby at 4 p.m. ish on Friday.

  I'm sorry that I am causing you so much grief by not going to fest but I really didn't have any plans to go in the first place. It would've been nice to have someone ride shotgun with me in case I got lost maneuvering the city streets but since none of my friends were interested in driving down with me, I never pursued the idea of attending.

PS--Your pix of Steve Tyler reminds me of that new fashion stylist, Steve Cojocaru.

Hi Love at First Bite,

at this point, I'm feeling more negative than positive about going to the Festival.  I just had another harassing weekend of dealing with stuff connected with my move, and I'm just not sure I have the stamina for a day trip into NYC next Sat.

I am asking folks who live in the area whether we might be able to meet up in NYC later in the Fall, if I can't make it to Brooklyn for the big whoopsie.

Is your Mom back online now?

cheers, G.

Gothick...hope everything starts to smooth out.

I'd cure you...but that may still be wrong (and I don't wanna curse you)

Autumn is absolutely THE season to visit New York....the only problem would be picking the places to go and the things to do out of all the possibilities!!

Heck....we could debate where to meet from now till Halloween!!!  [blackbat]

An autumn get-together is a great idea.  I'm in Philly, so a day trip to NYC would be no problem for me.  Plus, I like the idea of meeting others from the forum in a setting that is less "intense" than the Fests.

Regards,

John

Well, this is starting to sound excellent!

maybe we could do the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village!

Sat. before H'ween is likely to be a good one for me.  I'm in  Canada the weekend of Columbus Day, and am helping to run workshops the following weekend.

I'm feeling very excited at the thought of being once again in the company of the legendary Marginalia du Pres!  Not to mention the handsome and mysterious Claude North ... and the Legend That Is Connie!

Jennifer, would be great to have you come too!  maybe we could do the bus from Chinatown together.  Having a companion would make the time on the road pass more pleasantly.

Cursing someone on the forum is a good thing. ;)
