If I had a summer DU MeetUp, would you show up?

[BeachBaby]

Just trying to see what interest there is. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Yep!

:)

[JackBeck]

21. Interesting...

You guys would totally have a place to stay, you know? Our place isn't huge, but we've got an extra bedroom and bathroom.

[BeachBaby]

32. Does that mean that you'll be showing up, too?

:hi:

[JackBeck]

78. Of course.

As long as no one's relying on me to be the designated driver.

That would be my chauffeure...I mean my hubby...

Did I spell chauffeure correctly? On my blackberry without spell check....

[bicentennial_baby]

50. Sounds like a plan!

:bounce: We could make a weekend of it.

:loveya:

[JackBeck]

80. Totally.

If you fly down we live super close to Newark airport.

Parking is limited if you drive but as long as we know in advance there are options.

[BeachBaby]

31. REALLY?????

Wow!!! I didn't think you would make the trek!

You and sniffa both?

OMG - I would be THRILLED!!!!! :hi: :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

48. As long as it's on a weekend, yes.

We'd love to come down. :D

:hug:

[sniffa]

74. I'll need a few days off from work after it

It takes a while to get the NJ smell out.

[JackBeck]

81. A picture of Fresca couldn't even get that smell out.

Ya' D-bag.

[sniffa]

86. Bwa

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

2. Depends on where you live. I live in MS and there aren't

too many meetups around these parts.

[TZ]

6. Its NJ.

Sorry Shell Beau. I'd love to meet you. But I don't forsee going to MS anytime soon..:hug:

[CreekDog]

11. What exit?

:rimshot:

[Shell Beau]

12. Yeah, it probably won't ever happen! I will be there in spirit.

[lost-in-nj]

3. if I'm not away

I will be there !!!!!!


:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

PARTAY!!!! PARTAY!!!!


lost

:hi:

[BeachBaby]

35. You HAVE to be here!

:hi:

[TZ]

4. What do you think!

Pete and Repeat! :D
I'd be soooo stoked for that!

Edit: If you want to do it around the time of my bday in the end of June, I'd love to celebrate my 40th that way!;)

[BeachBaby]

42. Duh! I'm making you come up early

to help me out! :P

[TZ]

51. I was gonna offer to do that anyway...

:)

[Aristus]

5. If I could convince my wife that I HAD to go to New Jersey for a clinical rotation.

She's hung up because one of my rotations will be at a rural hospital a three hour drive away. Don't think she'd like me crossing the continent...

B-)

[BeachBaby]

44. Hey babe - aren't you supposed to be studying????

:spank:

See you Friday!!! :hug:

[Aristus]

73. Taking a break. I think the Pharm. mid-term went well today.

The Emergency Medicine exam tomorrow is almost a gimme. Almost. Now watch me fail it... :eyes:

Whew! One exam tomorrow, then the rest of the day off! Won't that be nice!

[geardaddy]

7. Absolutely!

Are we going to the Shore?

[LostinVA]

8. Very good -- you know what to call it!

[geardaddy]

9. My mom grew up in NE PA.

:D

[BeachBaby]

45. Nope. On the farm, baby!!!

You still game? :hi:

[geardaddy]

92. Yep!

I'm still game.

[NJmaverick]

10. Any time Beach Baby

:hi:

[BeachBaby]

46. Yay!!!

I will keep you posted - literally! :P :hi:

[NJmaverick]

91. I have only one potential conflict, and that would be my week at Giants training camp

other than that, I would be happy to go and I would also be happy to help out.

[madinmaryland]

13. Are you going to pay everyone's tolls to get there???

Pretty expensive to get through DE!!!

[TZ]

14. You can actually avoid the tolls by going through PA...

Thats what BB told me last time I was up there... So PFFFFT..:P

[LynneSin]

16. By the time you get to the one bridge without a toll and then drive back down to south jersey

you' would have burned more gas money then just paying the damn toll

[TZ]

17. good point.

But I wanted to show the FVI that you don't have to go through Delaware if you don't want to..Plus I found that the tolls in Maryland are about equivalent to Delaware, really.:)

[madinmaryland]

20. Actually when I was doing my weekly runs to CT, I would go up to

Harrisburg and across to Allentown on 78 to 287 and over the Tappan Zee. Total tolls were $3.00 going up and $1.00 going back. I missed all the I-95 and TJ TPKE crap. Timewise it was about the same, though about 60 miles longer.

[CreekDog]

27. You can avoid DE by going thru PA, but there is a toll on the Wal Wimmin bridge

be aware.

[BeachBaby]

49. Ahhhh......definitely a Jersey boy.

You mentioned that infamous bridge. :)

[LynneSin]

15. Don't do it during the Wilmington Italian Festival

gotta be around incase Joe Biden wants to stop by my porch again

[BeachBaby]

52. You told me to sleep over that weekend.

Just remind me - I want to be there, k? :)

[KansDem]

18. I'd like to come, but really don't like sand in my hot dog...

:9

[BeachBaby]

53. I don't actually live on the beach....

I live on a farm. Just sayin'. :)

[motely36]

19. I would seriously consider it

:hi:

[BeachBaby]

55. Cool!

I'll be posting later about what weekend I am choosing to do this. :hi:

[kentauros]

22. Yes, though probably not this year.

I'm spending all my money to get my girlfriend to here from New Zealand (well, not all of it ;))

[BeachBaby]

56. You suck!

I'm kidding. :P :hi:

[kentauros]

72. Well, there may be sucking involved...

[TK421]

23. I would love to...but I won't get to throw snowballs!

:( whereabouts in Jersey?

[BeachBaby]

58. Easy for you to get to.

Take I-95S to the Commodore Barry. I'm about 10 minutes from the bridge on the Jersey side. :)

[SacredCow]

24. Would you let me win at Guitar Hero?

;)

[BeachBaby]

59. HA!

Good memory! :hug: :hi:

Think you could make it?

[SacredCow]

70. Perhaps... I've never been to NJ

And never been to a DU meetup....

[Bucky]

25. As long as it's not in South Jersey. Damn, those people are just evil

Something in July might be fun. If I was close to it, I'd be up for it.

[BeachBaby]

60. I've been called a devil before.

It's nothing new. ;)

I'm not sure about exactly when - all I know is that it will be in the summer. I'll be figuring out which weekend very soon. :)

[Midlodemocrat]

26. No. You people scare me.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. But yet, you hung out with LiV and me

[BeachBaby]

61. You have to!

I promise to keep MiM away from you. :)

[CreekDog]

28. I'm planning a summertime Jersey trip anyway

God knows what this group will do to me. :hide:

[BeachBaby]

62. LOL!

PM me with the dates of your trip, please. :hi:

[CreekDog]

84. I will when I know them

But I have a fair amount of flexibility.

[malta blue]

29. I would surely try

:hi:

[BeachBaby]

63. You must!!!!!

Twins stick together, you know? :hug: :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

68. Twins stick together?

I think that's just Siamese twins.

[FarLeftRage]

30. Yes, I will be there

I'd like to meet more DUer's...

[BeachBaby]

64. Looking forward to meeting you!

Looks like you may be meeting ALOT of DUers at once! :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Sure

[BeachBaby]

65. Cool!

[SallyMander]

36. I don't even know where I'll be living then!

:cry:

[TZ]

39. Oh man

When are you moving? I'm trying to visit my Dad in Cincinnati this spring and I was hoping I could swing by Columbus for a meet up...

[SallyMander]

41. I'll be here for the spring!

I graduate in early June... then my life turns into a gaping black hole. :scared:

Actually I'm being overly dramatic -- most of the jobs I've applied for are somewhere in the Northeast, except for one in CA. We'll see!

[BeachBaby]

66. God - I hope you and Iza can make it!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet youse guyz! :hug: :hi: :loveya:

[SallyMander]

76. I would LOVE to meet you!!!

:D

:bounce:

:hug:

I hope it works out!

[blondeatlast]

37. Very possibly--I have a free airline ticket to anywhere in the US.

My son would be with me--I think it would be good if we could arrange something for the youngsters, too, so parents and guardians could attend.

[BeachBaby]

93. Check your pm.

:)

[Pierre.Suave]

38. Hmmm, depends...

Will there be any alone time?

:P

[TZ]

40. With me?

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

43. Hmmmm

maybe I will need two alone times...


:P

[BeachBaby]

94. What is it with you Minnesota men, anyway???

:rofl:

[Sanity Claws]

47. I'd go

I live in NYC and could drive to NJ. Anyone care to join my carpool?

[BeachBaby]

95. Happy to hear it!

Once I pick out the date, I will post it and you can work on the carpool situation. :)

[no name no slogan]

54. As long as it's anywhere but Jersey

:hide:

[BeachBaby]

96. SOUTH Jersey.

We're like our own separate state, or somethin'. ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. Are you near the Pine Barrens?

I've always wanted to visit the area. It'd be fun to take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, too!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

67. There be dragons there!

:scared:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

103. I don't know about dragons,

but I'll bet there's plenty of quicksand.

[BeachBaby]

97. About an hour from the Pine Barrens.....

45 minutes from Cape May. I drive kinda fast, though. ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

101. Ooo!

I'd be game for that! Could I bring my kid? He's a good Democrat.

[latebloomer]

69. I'd be interested, depending on the date

I'm in North Jersey.

[BeachBaby]

99. I'll be figuring that out in the next month or so.

There seems to be quite a few from NNJ who may want to do a carpool-type thing. :)

[BarenakedLady]

71. I have no idea of my living situation this summer

Hopefully I'll be all settled someplace. Prolly won't have any money to go anywhere though. I'd die for a meetup though. I need real life hugs. :)

[BeachBaby]

102. I don't think I'm all that far from you.

Maybe between you, me and malta blue, we can figure something out. :)

And I would love to be the first to give you a real life hug. :hug: :hi:

[charlie and algernon]

75. sure, i'd love to go

never been to a DU meetup before


:hi:

[BeachBaby]

104. Awesome!

Would love to meet a fellow baseball fan! :hi:

[SPKrazy]

77. I would love to, make it later in summer...

more chance of being able to come on my own, or early and I can switch and trade times for having my son...


Count me as interested, not July 4th though, going to my first ever HS reunion, and it is my 30th! :woohoo:

[Ava]

79. since it won't be in the southeast, most likely not

:(

[CreekDog]

98. Southeast Jersey?

:shrug:

[TZ]

100. I'll make sure that I'm in charge of the music......

:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

105. Great. Now no-one will show up!

[TZ]

108. PFFFT...

You fucking nun....:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

110. Nice post, trumad. Or is that upton or cboy??

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

107. That's okay

I'll be in charge of the earplugs. :evilgrin:

[TZ]

109. Fine with me.

I can go around saying bad things about you and you'd never know!:P

[CreekDog]

111. that's okay too

i'm putting madinmaryland in charge of you. :rofl:

[Kool Kitty]

82. Yep. I would.

[Robeson]

83. I'd show up in my Speedos....

...let me know the time, date, and place...:D

[ThomCat]

85. Yes!

I'd find a way to get there. :)

[TZ]

87. Get yourself to the Wilimington train station and one of us

Can pick you up...:)

[meegbear]

88. New Jersey? What exit?

[EstimatedProphet]

89. Pay me enough and I will

[Blue_Tires]

90. where would it be?

the closer the better...

[mike_c]

106. wrong coast, I'm afraid....

I'm getting grief for complaining about having to travel back east for my daughter's wedding. Doing it to party with DUers would be a total non-starter, I suspect.
