If you live in the Boston area, we're going on a Fallapalooza outing to Red Apple Farms in Western Mass tomorrow, and we have room for 3 more in our cars! So if you'd like to join us, check out the post here for details, and e-mail nqdonne or myself to RSVP! It's going to be awesome ... I am soooo looking forward to it! Cider doughnuts!

anthimaeria and I took a super-early bus down to NYC (you can see her post about our trip here) and met up with fbowden and her friend, who were both awesome! OMG, we had so much fun ... went over to see the Statue of Librety and Ellis Island on a ferry (I'd never actually been; the last time I was in NYC was just post-9/11 and the ferries weren't allowed to actually go to the island, so I enjoyed that.) and then we went to see the World Trade Center site and a shopping store called Century 21, where we looked for shoes for fbowden but didn't find any. Sad days. :(

After that, the four of us went, in spite of some confusion, to dinner with alisanne, sassy_cissa, lotus_lizzy, and heathen_ursidae ... a place called Angus McIndoe's which is apparently Dan's favorite restaurant in NY. He wasn't there, but the waiter did confirm that he had seen him there three times, in spite of the fact that he hadn't been working there very long yet. The food was good, and I had a scrumptious Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. :D :D :D

After that, we all went to the Atrium bar in the Marriott (where we were originally supposed to meet before things were confusing), and met a bunch of people there: ziasudra, treewishes, tray_la_la, accioslash, dracofiend, bk7brokemybrain, venturous, dementordelta, theentwife ... and possibly some other people? I had a really yummy (realllly expensive) chocolate martini and the alcohol muddled my brain a bit, lol!

And anthimaeria and I had time to grab cheesecake from Junior's on our mad dash to catch our bus, and we were tipsy (and talking loudly about fandom) while we ate cheesecake on a bus full of unsuspecting normals, lol! It was such fun!

OH! And I forgot to mention the amaaaazing chocolate chip brownies that fbowden and her friend found for us at the bakery/mini grocery store that was across the street while we were waiting in line for the ferry. We also got yummy goat cheese pizza there afterwards when we were starving, and it tasted so good! New York is just made of awesomeness when it comes to food! :D

So, yeah. When're the next crowd of fen going to be in town for Equus? I want to go back to New York! :D :D :D
