Someone should have taken a picture of  that weird piece of paper Dan was looking at. You had to be there to hear AJK's response.  :)
Care to elaborate ?

I don't think I can do it justice but maybe AJK can. It was just to funny.

Best line
It was a crowd that ran the gamut from Modern Orthodox to Chabad, from Chasidish to Yeshivish to Roman Catholic. Because nothing unites people like miles!


That's two lines

Or in my case, I don't suffer. I slept 10 out of the 14 hours without taking any sleeper helpers  8)

Open for everyone.
What would happen if one of the 10 was a noob ?
Seriously would he be welcome and comfortable ?

So jealous and had I been stateside, I would definitely show up, I'm just a tiny shameful for it.
I don't blame him. I think that one can even be past a noob on the forums and still be a noob (read: uncomfortable) at a DO. Had I not gone to 3 DOs this week (especially with some chashuv people) I would not have considered going.

Unfortunately, the whole idea of the schlep + expensive restaurant + no flight home stopped me from joining. Next time we'll make the OOTers come to NY :)
