I'm not coming, but I'll be providing a long, rambling audio/visual commentary to Chris's long, rambling videotaped message. I expect you to play both in full.

to WHAT the professor? "Batter-buttle"? "Chain-whip?"
Title: Re: Roll call.
Post by: Shaggy 2 Grote on August 21, 2009, 11:57:31 AM: Pretty close, Jeremy, they share a border. But you would either need someone to pick you up at NWK, or investigate bus options. You could probably take a shuttle to Newark Penn Station and grab the PATH to Jersey City, which would be cheap and take maybe an hour, but might be a pain in the ass.

Its very close. Less than 30 minutes by car, about the same by train. Two stops to Newark Penn then 4 stops to Exchange Place or wherever you might be staying.

Yes, yes, I totally forgot that the NJT train stops at NWK and has for years. And I've taken it to the airport multiple times and have been passing it on the way to work three times a week for the past six years. Obviously my brain is trying to tell me that I am not ready to go back to work.

I want to make a friend or two come, but if not, can I come and sit awkwardly???

Trade books? If you don't mind me asking: who do you work for? I'd be so excited if there was a FOT in my building...

Is it a triangular building?

Do most people go by themselves to this thing and hope some kind of juggalo family vibe takes over?

Yeah, people go by themselves. The last two times friendships were forged and romances were sparked.
I ended up building some scenery for a guy I met at the first one, that was two years ago and a month ago he threw a party for his son's baptism in my garden.

Edit- where do you live? Maybe you could get a ride with somebody.

I'm going by myself. I've never met anyone from here in real life, so I'm a little nervous too. Hopefully everyone will be as nice in real life as they are on here.

Post by: ericluxury on September 04, 2009, 09:50:50 AM: About going by yourself: I would recommend it.
I went to two comedy events that a bunch of people from ComedyZone went to and there were efforts to meet up. The time I was alone it was great, but it is a little weird to be introducing people who know to people you electronically kind of know. It makes an awkward at first situation an awkward the whole time situation.

Post by: iAmBaronVonTito on September 04, 2009, 10:25:58 AM: there is family vibe that comes with this board if youre on long enough. even if youre not on the board that long, there are an adequate amount of FOT who will make you feel WELCOME, beyond what you could imagine from a "stranger".

i love this board and i love the FOT. trust me, you'll feel alone for about two seconds before youre shaking hands and taking names.

Thanks! *blush*

Started listening I believe last November- it was the show where Tom talked about the art student who made a gold fence and put it up around a city park in Baltimore. I work for the art school where that piece was created, so my brother sent me a link to the show, and the rest is history.

Ended up taking the FOTalo express down with other wonderful FOTs (I am terrible and can't remember everyone's names..) You guys are the best. As a tiny young lady it was definitely "one of these is not like the others" in the car :)

We had perfect timing and saw Tom walk around the corner and Mike come out of the pizza show just as we were parking. It was like, bing, bang, Best Show time!
