Joe,
You dont have to miss out totaly. There is a little fish-in going on Montauk at the end of Oct. Ok ,I know it wont be like Idaho (Gawg I wanna go to Idaho but I CANT , so Ill quit whining about that ) but there will be chilly water ,cool air and probably a couple nice folkes to hang out with once in a while. I met Thunderthumbs last year , he seemed nice. Met Gigger 222 , he seems nice . Met Betty Hiner (she wont be there but she Is nice) Give it a shot. Could be nice.
Chers ,
