Hartford, CT area DUers (and Mass, RI, NY, or whoever wants to come)
We talked last week and if it's cool with everyone, I guess we're looking at Saturday, January 17, 2:00 pm, at the Triple A Diner in East Hartford. I was only there once in 1990, so I'm taking NightTrain's word that everything's cool there. :)

Any more comments and can we have a headcount?

I'll be there.

1. If anyone needs directions, feel free to PM me.

I drive in this area for a living, so I know the roads pretty well!

2. Is it OK if I invite some friends who are *not* DUers?

I know some folks who might just be interested in attending this get-together. And with their respective mindsets, they'll get along just fine with the rest of ya!

7. About an hour and a half
I'm just east of where we're meeting and I made it in an hour and 15 minutes to Cambridge. (About $3-$4 for tolls though). I think RationalRose is interested in going, so perhaps you guys can hook up?

11. Well
It seemed like the concensus was to have it earlier Saturday afternoon and Black Eyed Sally's didn't open until 5:00.

I will be there in spirit.

35. I'm coming
Although I have no idea what you look like. I just realized this. I saw one picture of NightTrain and one of Amaya, so I hope I can spot all you guys. If you see a women with longish blonde hair, jeans, early 30's, and a navy blue peacoat, that's probably me.

36. OK, I'm on my way!

Look for a chubby guy in his late 30s with gold-rimmed glasses, bluejeans, a navy blue coat, a black "Sun Studios" baseball cap, and a "WHUS 91.7-FM" sweatshirt.
