piscataway

hmmm that's about an hour and a half away. Maybe if I am not doing anything that night.

It is over 40 miles each way for me. That is the only thing that is making us a maybe instead of a definate.

Well we hope to see you there

You joined AT so you could go to this thing?

:laugh:

My wife is also a member here, but she has never posted. That makes 4 of us going so far. Possibly 5 if SoulAssassin goes.

Of course all 5 of us have already met, so it'd be nice if some of you other guys go...

Ummmm I said I might come too... See my post above

Yeah, I should be there. Hopefully we have a different waitress this time. The service was probably sub-Denny's and Denny's really really sucks.

The state isn't THAT big! Your e-mail address is at NJIT - Newark is only 30 miles from Piscataway. Granted you'd be driving away from NYC after work, which kind of sucks....

It kind of annoys me that there are now 3 Craigslists for NJ, because I'd be willing to drive pretty much anywhere in NJ or the Philadelphia area for some stuff but I have to search for the same thing 4 times.

Quick side topic...I need a better way to get on the turnpike to avoid traffic. I'm coming from around Exit 36 off 78 (Warren area) a few miles east of where 78/287 meet. I usually take 78W to 287S but 287 is a friggin parking lot at rush hour...if it's not an accident in the direction I'm headed it's gaper delay from an accident in the other (which is one of the most annoying things ever possible...just drive people!). I've tried taking King George/Warrenville Rd down to 22 then either West to 287 or Washington Ave all the way down to I think it was Exit 5 on 287 but at rush hour the volume of traffic is just too high. I took 206 off of 287 once and it's probably shorter distance wise but the stop and go traffic was a PITA. You end up further down the turnpike that way but I don't care about saving a buck or two on tolls since it's expensed anyways...time and sanity are the most important things. It's killing me...it takes me an hour to go 20-25 miles to get onto the turnpike and I can drive the 90 miles to Delaware in an hour and a half.

Any other back roads or other routes I can take to get on the turnpike?

You're going to Delaware? Head WEST surely there's a way off of 78 West to pick up something in PA, no?

Tough call...when 78 goes into 287, it's always backed up like a mofo to keep going on 78. I dunno if it gets better after that but 78 looks ugly from what I've seen though I could be wrong. And if I go into PA then I'm probably going through Philly though rush hour could have calmed down by then.

What I really need is an express/private road only I'm allowed to drive on w no speed limit that runs right from the job site to the turnpike.

You are fvcked pretty much either way. There are no other major roads without the stop n go traffic. I live off of exit 7 on 287 (been here for 30 yrs) trust me, just put on some calming music and relax....
