Great grammen!
Did the other photographer get a pic?
better, video!
huh???
Whatever.
In Chicago??
yeah maybe I would have came!! Why did I have to miss it???!! It’s not fair!!! 🙁
yes! When is it?? Can you get me cheap tickets too? (live in NY)
Spirit Air had $55 round trip just before. Two of my daughters went to Gefen’s former neighbor’s wedding in Lakewood earlier this month. Don’t know if it’s still available!
Oh and Gefen; My wife says thanx! One of the cakes got recycled at the HP (NK, that is) Vort tonight. Don’t worry, though. There was plenty made fresh as well.
Midweterner,
Mrs. K was telling everyone that your wife made the cakes.
neighborhood
Midwesterner- I got those tickets too, I was on your daughters flight along with sem20, great deal!
do you mean wKrp? as in cinncinati?
just fyi, nonchicago-ians know the neighborhoods your abbreviating….
yenting – then what are you waiting for? Come visit us!
my aunt would love to have my but my student allowance is kinda at the limit….. and megabus/boltbus don’t go NY-chicago…. wish they did though…..
yenting – I was pretty annoyed about the megabus too. Wanted to find a cheap way to send some kids. Spirit air often has $8 tues and wed though so if you change your mind we’ll heat up the oil for you!
syag, your officially on the the list. after my friend’s aunt and uncle in Baltimore, my married friend in Lakewood and that trip to E”Y my parents have points for. 🙂
i don’t suggest mega, i would use bolt if they had that line. i have my horror story from megabus and it aint pretty….
Gefen: Yes, someone must have mistakenly thought there would be more parking in HP than on Granville. BH, we were able to walk. Incidentally, your daughters are a bit too old, but there is a group of girls that have created a whole theme in the neighborhood, calling it HPC (as in club). Sweatshirts and all.
Yenta: I know people that use MegaBus regularly without horror stories. I’m sorry that you had one. The best you can do is NY to Cleveland then Cleveland to Chicago.
Onegoal: We’ve known for a very long time in what city you live. I suppose if you’ve connected my daughters and sem20 all on the same flight, that means you know who I am. Are you willing to offer me a hint as to your identity?
yentingyenta- Megabus just ended a sale that offered free tickets with just a fifty cent reservation fee no matter how many tickets you book. You can go from New York to Chicago and back by going from New York to Cleveland or Detroit, and from there to Chicago. If you choose to fly, take spirit, they have great deals.(There aren’t very many cheap flights on spirit from NY to Chicago until next month though)
i just looked on magabus.com and ny doesnt seem to go to cleveland. first (and last) time i took megabus the bus broke down in indiana and it took 5 hours to send a replacement. then i left my phone on the bus. B”H the return trip was trouble free but i dont think i would take them again. would prefer to fly. spirit sounds like an option, but time constraints are the issue too….
kapusta – don’t bother waiting. here you knock and let yourself in!
midwesterner- The mods didn’t let my other post through, probably because I put a link in the first part, but here was the part that mattered. I’d rather not give out any information, but if you ask your wife she should know who I am, if she doesn’t than I will imy”h come over to you the next time I see you.
Gotcha! My kids who were on that flight told me who they think you might be. When we meet, I’ll let you know if they’re right or wrong.
I’m related to syag. That should do it.
That was what they guessed!
Mom! I can’t believe you gave yourself away!
here you knock and let yourself in!
Nice to finally meet you! (I hope I’m allowed to say this here but you’re one of the CRers I’d like to actually meet IRL)
gefen- lol
gefen- I’ve known who you were for a while, so long I don’t even remember how I found out.
snowstorm thread
gefen- A mix of both. Anything I assumed I confirmed with him.
People know each other here?! WOW!!!!
(anyone know me?)
ZK: People who live out of town are not intimidated by each other nearly as much. There is a natural bond you feel with anyone from your city. I don’t know where you’re from, but if it is from someplace like BP or Flatbush, you probably don’t even know everyone on your block. But I live in a decent sized out of town place. And another poster, several months back, challenged me to identify her. She gave me very little to work with. She lived in my neighborhood (2 blocks away) for 4 years like a decade ago. But it took me less than 10 minutes to pin her down.
I just figured out who another quite regular poster is yesterday. Turns out I was his uncle’s rebbe a number of years ago when he lived in my town. (Next month will be 20 years since I started my first daf yomi shiur. WOW!! From Beitza to Bechoros, plus 2 cycles!) Not gonna go any further, because I don’t want to blow anyones cover.
Oy, I wish we could go back to the innocence of yesteryear! Jothar might blacklist me if I complain about the security enhancements here. I know it is all neccesary, but I just wish it weren’t so. But come visit us here, and try getting used to out of town. We still have it to a large extent. Yes there are bad people here too. I am quite aware of that. But the general attitude is much more welcoming, and you don’t feel threatened by someone else’s anonymity. And if eventually you connect with someone who was previously anonymous, it makes you feel good. Chein Hamakom Al Yoshveha!!

We’ll leave the light on
Chicago? How far is that from Kensington? (that’s the suburb I reside in) I don’t think I’ll be coming there in the near future. But hey, you never know!
