If anyone has any ideas for all of us to get together let me know. Are weekends better or during the week? I was thinking of trying to find a nice coffee shop somewhere in the middle of the state that we could meet at some evening. Let me know what you think!

Keep me posted! My schedule is pretty full pretty much all the time but I try to squeeze in a special event here and there I'll keep my eye on the calendar for the Asbury Event, but do keep me posted if you decide to do Coffee Night! We tried it here in North Jersey a few times and it didn't really pan out in the long run, but I'd be willing to drive to Central Jersey if my schedule allows

Road trip weekend is coming up in Asbury park and according to someone who lives there, it is gayer then pride. I will be there if my health holds up. Anyone else wanna come? There is a ladies dance one night. If anyone is interested I will find out the particulars.

Sorry I haven't been more on top of this folks, but I had a hospital trip weekend before last and have to take it easy. Suggestions for a coffee shop somewhere a little north of the middle of Jersey would be most welcome. Seems like that would be the best area to meet for coffee. I don't know the area so. I can always find a Starbucks, but frankly, would rather go to a local joint. Let me know.

Don't know if there is a dodge ball event ... but I do know it is hard to get a room. I was suppose to stay at a friends house but her plans have changed. So now I will have to find somewhere else to stay. Getting difficult to find.

Yes sweet Rutie - your friend is correct. Asbury is WAY gay & I'm sure you 'll have blast! They have booths selling things. (all pride related)

Be sure to bring a large blanket to lay in the part where the music is. Some people brings chairs, however, a large blanket will hold you spot for day.

There is food to purchase, HOWEVER, unless you have full intentions of having a heart-attract from all the greasy cholesterol, I'd suggest you bring a picnic lunch from home and then just go out to dinner.

Be sure to hook up with someone that has a room at the Hotel right there. You're going to need to use their 'powder room' several times during the daily events.

Parking is difficult. Be sure to check the sign where you were to be assured it's no illegal that particular day.

I'm still attempting to be all healed by the time of the Reunion. I've got one more surgery to go, recoup from that and WALLAH - I'll be just as good as new!!

Have BLAST in Asbury- you're going to love it.

Oh, funny story must first year I went, about 10 years ago. I had NO IDEA where I was going to go once I actually entered the town, so i began to drive down the GS Parkway South & knew I'd figure something out. Low & behold, there's a vehicle in front of me, loaded with females and a huge pride sticker on their bumper. So at 65 miles an hour, we began to chat through opened windows and they agreed to have me follow them right to the site where all the action will be.

I think I just may be in contention for the nicest Queer Femme out there, I even begin friendly conversations on the high way as were speedy down as to not miss out on anything! They were really nice women and I ended up have a meal with them later in the day! It just amazes me all the different places you can chat with another queer!

Thanks for the advice and for the story!! Too much fun! hopefully I will be able to get a room.. Berkley is already sold out and Pradise is just plain too expensive. My friend who I am sharing a room with is looking for a room. If she doesn't find one by this weekend, I may just take a ride down to see if I can find one.

A__ is that you??? We should get together soon for coffee!! Let's pick a day in the next few weeks and we'll post it here in case anyone else can join us. Sound good??

I'm off to play in a poker tournament in Atlantic City so I'll be offline for a couple of days. Text me - I'll have my phone with me!

QueenofSmirks · 07-07-2010, 07:27 PM

It's 103 degrees outside, but we're still gonna get together for coffee!!! (Iced coffee, tea, water, whatever!)

This Friday, July 9th around 5:30pm - 7:30pm - north Jersey. I'm open to location if we can find something centralized to everyone who wants to come along, but our default location will likely be Panera Bread in West Orange, off I-280.

Please let me know if you plan to join us and we'll figure out the details!

If STORY picks an additional date later in the month, perhaps we can all meet up then, Ruthie. If she doesn't post here, I'll text her and we'll figure something out
