New Paltz is really far south. I'm sure you thought it had a lot more in common with metro New York than with Potsdam, right?

Actually, it wasn't all that different, except there were a few more hippies about.

also, I wish I could find a dunkin donuts up here (/sarcasm)

You haven't seen true Dunkin Donuts saturation until you've been to Boston.  There are at least five Dunkin Donuts within a five minute drive from both my house and work.

All of New England is infected- more and more keep popping up here. I can't imagine there's possibly enough business for all of them, but they seem to manage. Better Dunkin' Donuts (which I still hate) than Donut Inn, I guess. My friend and I pretty much made it through weekly youth orchestra practice by making it our goal to find the weirdest seasonal donut at the break- some of them were pretty elaborate.

Was Larry Campbell there? 

[<<<<<]

I don't think donut joints do well on the West Coast.  Or at least, they never caught on here, really.  There are spots in Seattle where there are upwards of 7-8 places to get espresso on a single block though.  Different version of the same phenomenon, I think.

I thought that was John Redcorn.
