Nothing more than that has been decided yet. Just giving you a heads up on the possibility. :)

I have two queen size guest beds, and enough space to set them up.

So it's short notice. :(

But if you ever plan a trip to the east coast please give us some notice and we're guaranteed to host an event. :)

But think of the road-trip, and the DU'ers you could pick up along the way. :P

30. I can take a train or drive....

I just need to me sure it is on a weekend that Little MB is with her dad...
I may need a place to crash out - the situation at my dad's house has reached critical mass. I think my stepmom is Nosferatu in drag...

32. Well, I am definitely not close!

But, I bet it will be a great dinner party.
And, if I had more vacation time this year, I might be tempted to fly out there! :-)

Hey, good luck with that guest list! lol :hug:

42. I live in Brooklyn

And I'm a student, so if you host a dinner party, I will not only come, but will eat everything for fear of not being fed for another 4 months.

youngred(zack)? I haven't seen or talked to him since the 2004 DNC convention when a shitload of us stayed overnight at Curse10's(another disappeared DUer) apt. in Boston. Hillary interns were passed out everywhere on the living room floor the next morning. :crazy: :hi:

45. Yeah, I do.

He is doing well, he and his girlfriend are moving to China for the next eight months to teach English! He hasn't settled into a job yet, seems like he's kinda been all over the place since graduating. He did bartending for awhile, which in my opinion, was a waste of a great mind! He's a very smart guy, I think he'll benefit a lot from going over there and teaching. I haven't heard from curse10, maybe Zack still keeps in touch. I'll ask next time we talk. How've you been? :hi:

46. Ha, that is cool about China and that he has a girlfriend, too!

Some guy from Rhode Island ANSWER that I met on one of their buses to DC a few years back ended up going to China for the very same reason. As for Curse10, I am not even sure if she is in Boston still. She was a student after all.

I am doing great, btw, and I hope you are as well. :D

and tell Zack hi, if you think of it whenever you speak next.
