| Is anybody going back to NJ after the dinner? What are peoples plans. I will be flying solo if I go and I don't really want to stay in a room alone. I am also not familiar with NYC and it can be a bit intimidating to drive their after dark (Don't want to end up like Clark Griswald did asking for directions in the truckster  ). TCK | | |

| We are heading home to NJ. Not sure if we are going on our own or together with my brother. I will let you know.
Let's see who else is heading back to NJ.
P.S.: We may stay for the After-Dinner thing, are you? | | | |

| TCK,
Read "Bonfire of the Equities" and you'll never want to drive in NYC after dark for sure. | | | |

| Davidn - do you mean "Bonfire of the Vanities"?  Your title was actually pretty funny. Great book. | | | |

| Well it has been quite a few years since I last read it. And I like my title better too. They made a terrible TV movie of it.

Re: Bonfire of the Vanities, wasn't it Tom Hanks who played the role? Or was it someone else? | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| Read the book. It's great IMO. Not the movie. Completely different ending. | | | |
