Kristin -- I'll be staying in NYC for a few days. I've driven into the city many times and have no problem with doing so this time as well. The insane part is taking 95. I always use 84 --> 684 --> Saw Mill Parkway, and have never had much trouble. Plus, it's all pretty and scenic and stuff.
Sturbridge is attractive because it's right on this route, and because

but let's see what Nilly wants. I'm fine with driving stright from Boston to NYC, if she'd rather see more of the City.
Nilly would start her NYC adventure in Grand Central Station. Is there any better place?
That is just achingly true.
Tour shirt related email just sent -- if you pinged me expressing an interest in getting a shirt and *don't* get an email in the next couple of minutes, ping me again.
Lee, where are you and Sean & Sparky meeting for dinner on Friday? I may be able to crash that.
And Deb, I'm happy to bring a kosher dessert to the BBQ if someone tells me what that means in the context of baking. No dairy? I can make, say, a dairy-free berry pie or something...
Also, playing catch with Hec.
Yeah, bring your glove. If the field is open, Emmett will come down and play catch with us, triangle style.
Consuela, I'm cooking for Sean, Lee and Jessica. You, and anyone else who thinks they'll be in the East Bay that evening, is more than welcome to come on over! Ping me at the profile address and I'll give you an address and phone number.
JZ, my e-mail is running achingly slow. I responded to your e-mail about color a bit ago. If you don't get it soon, please e-mail me at fisher_deena AT yahoo DOT com and I'll send it again from there.
'suela, you can make the BBQ? WOOT! I think the only thing a kosher berry pie requires is no lard - make a butter crust instead. From what Nilly told me, basic butter, eggs and milk are not an issue, provided they come from cows. But organic is even more of a surety.
JZ, I want a teeshirt, and no ping, and I didn't know I was supposed to ping, and do we have a design and did I miss something?
We do have a design, and she posted about it in Press, but the files are huge to compensate for the required number of pixels per square inch, so no link to the design, but she describes it pretty well. Black shirt, mostly fiery gold/orange/red lettering.
