<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 hours north of montclair, nj, is prolly the faire
at stirling forest in tuxedo park... NY. careful there, dear, we
snooty new yorkers are very sensitive about being associated with joisey.
(as billy joel once put it in a concert... "i thought anything west of nj was
west. hell, i thought *jersey* was west!"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>anyway...the faire at stirling forest is one of the
biggest ones in the ny metro area, and i'm trying to get there this fall
(hopefully i will finally have a car at uni and can actually drive places) --
anyone in the NY area planning to go? (yes, i know it's a month long...minor
detail :-)</FONT></DIV>

As a playtron - <BR>> always in garb (I went twice to AZ in mundane, but
now, I wouldn't <BR>> dream of not going in garb. It's more fun, IMHO). A

I've been sewing for several days - have made three new <BR>underskirts,
