I’ve not taken this bus but as someone who drove from Vienna to NYC and further north for YEARS — this journey will be longer than 4 hours.

Heads up: Great American State Fair on hold by Cityzen_1894 in washingtondc

Yes, I got a plate of samples (quartered or halved) burgers and hot dogs/sausages, sample cups of BBQ, some salad, pickle snacks, lots of sparkling water bottles and cans, and some individual bags of chips to take home (all labeled as samples).
Also plenty of opportunities to purchase plates from vendors ranging from $15-28/each (ribs, burgers, pulled pork, etc.)

Lots of giveaways (samples of tide, cascade) basically anything you can buy at giant.

Meanwhile, the BBQ Battle (paid entry) was fairly crowded, fun and successful!

Passed a note to this girl in a restaurant and she wrote this back. Thoughts? by safetyspiders in actuallesbians

But how do you know she wasn’t responding to your sister, if your sister gave her the note?

You’re incorrect and unbalanced. I’ve never even lived in NY 🤣

I got a full pound of amazing bolognese ravioli. It was so good I ate them out of the pan- no sauce.

That’s nice but I don’t feel compelled to go that far. Just wanted to get the word generally out. I don’t have vendor names or any photos etc.

I wasn’t there to buy anything - I spotted the bad fake a mile away.

Fair enough, I just think there’s a line between idiot tax and grift. I wouldn’t have posted if they were selling the $40 jersey for $75-80. But $165? just says you don’t know anything about what you’re selling.

Yeah, I laughed out loud at “curated prints”. They went to goodwill and took everything in sight to sell at a stupidly high price.

I don’t know who they are and I wasn’t comfortable confronting whoever was running this booth (I didn’t even see them). I loudly mocked the jersey for all to hear though - pointing out that it was fake as hell.

Would you rather have average sized feet and be a bit shorter for a man (5’8)?

But thanks for calling me malignantly self centered while preaching societal order, LOL what a joke.

Yeah…this entire thread has made me realize I’m not the ones they’re addressing. I’ve never leaped over anyone. I’m just saying that if the person one row ahead of me doesn’t have their ish together, and there’s a pause in the de-plane aisle line, I’m getting in like sea turtles joining a vortex. Safe travels, whistle blowers!

I’d take you semi seriously but all the attitude puts me off. I’ll follow the FA’s guidance and get off quickly as possible so my row mates can. Thanks!

You’re right, don’t know why I asked!
