Howard....

.. I don't think New York is in Philadelphia.

Do you want to travel to NY?

Trapped inside zee quote box again?

I'm for the "pick your own hotel" thing too because I'll most likely stay at a Marriott property (hubby's got enough points for a free room ;))

I'll see if I can talk Hubby into staying there, too.  ;)

How about if the West Coasters get a hold of me, and let's see about doing a faction here?

yes I was.

Hey, I'd love to.

In the true sense, anywhere will do fine, but the cost will have to taken into account.

Do you want to travel to NY?



Howard, I was in NY just a few months ago.. and I'll be back not too long after christmas.

Yes! this time a trip out for lunch with Howard is very necesary.

Pphh, if he'd come out of the rat nest that is Queens. Or if you'd lend me your car.

Yes it will. So will a number of other factors.

I only diary I have is the one I use at work

Hey, maybe we could set up simultaneous meetings and have people bring their laptops & webcams ???  We wouldn't be in the same spot, but it would be as close as we could get :)

Are you going to New York Philip??

do you think that'll work?

It wouldn't quite be the same. :-\\

Ok...so Kkay and I were talking today about starting a committee to help plan our little shindig in the east.  We were saying that it would be cool to rent a place where we could hang out, eat good food, drink good drinks, etc.  Something like a hall, a pavilion, or similar to that matter.  So far....I think this is what everyone was tossing around:


the meeting will take place in Philly
It will be in or around the beginning of July
Everyone will make their own hotel reservations at their hotel of choice (I will do some research and give you guys a list of hotels/prices/etc)


I know pavilions are usually cheap to rent, but we probably need to reserve one sometime soon. We need to find out exactly who is seriously interested in attending...and then go from there.

I know the last time we tried to vote about certain things (a place to meet, a month to meet, etc)...and that didn't work out so well...so perhaps we should just leave that stuff up to the committee? what do you guys think?  We are open to suggestions.  As soon as we figure out an exact weekend...and we find some potential places to reserve for our gathering.....then we can let everyone know how much they will need to submit toward the rental fee, etc.

I'd say June.

Just.. Philadelphia.. July.. outside.. sweltering.  ;D

As you know, I'm interested, from now just forward info to Kay, she'll just come round and wake me up with a "Come on, we're going."

June could be a problem for me. My parents will be the ones watching Vaughn...and my mom doesn't get off school until the end of June (she's a nurse)....due to a teacher's strike.  Maybe we could make it the beginning of July...I dunno?

Hmmm...

My aunt is going to be in NYC still, in June.  If you give a date perhaps we can come hang too.  Spring quarter ends on June 9 and Summer quarter begins June 18.

I see.

Do they strike on the weekend?

I see.

Do they strike on the weekend?



no....but since she is still in school mostly all of June...it might be a problem for her to watch Vaughn. It's pretty hectic at the end of the year. Yes, she has weekends off...but I will have to talk to her and see if she will be able to do that then.

Right. Is your Dad at work yeah?

I was just figureing a weekend would work best for everyone anyhow.

ya, a weekend would definitely be good. Chris and I would probably leave on Friday and stay overnight...both Friday and Saturday. If I'm driving clear to Philly...might as well make it worth our while and stay a couple nights.

i will check it out ....if anyone has special reuqests or ...well, you can PM me dates that will be good and i'll see what's best for the majority.

I think the last time we discussed this it was June 22nd. We were planning to be there BUT, now I'm not so sure because my niece is graduating college and my nephew is graduating high school. My dad has it in his mind about having a big family party-but I'm not too sure how other family members feel about this. So, that may or may not happen. Since the plans for the family gathering are up in the air (with no definately plans IF it will happen at all), I can't give a percise date of when we will be available.

It just may be that mid-July might be better because I don't know how many others have graduations to attend in June. I once talked to gemini about it but her daughter is graduating from high school and she doesn't know the date.




Cat

sounds like mid-july might be good for everyone.

we need a road trip.

i've heard good things about atlanta. and savannah kicks a.

You're damn right.

If we took Pete and Mike they could split the driving and we could make out in the back.

oh boy. maybe we should take the train.

I second that..I love Savannah!

Suggestion.  Since we were planning on Philadelphia, but there is talk of the heat in July, which would definitely rule out Savannah, how about a place close to the water, not all that far from Philly(in the scheme of things) that could be family friendly for those wanting to bring the kids.  A weekend here could be good, and anyone wanting to turn it into a real vacation would have plenty to do with things to spare.  Something for absolutely everyone.

Couldn't there be some way guys could make it in New York cause I can't travel to Philly or Georgia all by myself? ???

oh boy. maybe we should take the train.
then davey and pete could make out and we could play cards.

Maybe we can get a consensus on this.  I haven't been there but have heard all kinds of stories.  It is great for kids, great for adults, great for families, great for singles, and not that far from the original idea of Philly.  If we could do it on a weekend it could be a little vacation for some of us, even if no one else showed.

yes...right.
i posted earlier that people can send me short PMs...tell me the dates you think are good for you and the preferred location and i'll tablulate the info...
or we do a few poll threads!

sure. just an idea. i figure after a fun day in the sun, a bed is a bed.

the only problem with a tourist spot is that i'ts expensive...however, cooking ourselves saves cash.

We (Carlos & I) don't have a problem if people want to move it. Just let us know where & when. Like I said, June may be a bit dicey but July seems good (at this point).

i can pretty much go anywhere as well.

Can't you take the train to Philly by yourself?


I could go by Amtrak.

Average walking speed of about 4 miles per hour.

8 hours of sleep a day, 2 hours for water, washing, food etc.

That's 14 hours of walking a day, 14 x 4 = 56 miles per day.

5253/56 = 94 days.

Math say's you should be able to get there before July.

True, that is 5253 miles as the crow flys. So yes, I suppose you're probably looking at more like 6000 miles unless a bridge is built across the caribbean. But you can walk from New York to Argentina, it's land all the way.

Getcha boots.

I thought that I would bump this thread up and find out what the lastest is in the meeting plans. I think where we last left off, it was going to take place sometime in July around Philly. And please guys, try to stay on topic this time. Some of us need to make plans if we are going to do this and it really hard going through pages of b.s.




Cat

i think that's the idea, yeah, philly in july, thereabouts. i wonder if we should start a new thread, like we did with the look-like thread? that seems to be working out wonderfully.

What about New York? ???

it stays on subject or it gets the hose again!

we already debated places! for a looooooonnnnnngggggg time! it's philly, bro! that's the place we all agreed NO one wants to go, so that's where we're going. it's all about the art of compromise.

i was just joking.

I forgive you.

;D

i'm not apologizing, i just wouldn't want people to think i wasn't stoked about getting together. i think it's funny we started off with london, vegas, new york city, and ended up with... philly. philly's cool, it seems sorta... off the wall. but it works good for me, in terms of anything besides washington/baltimore, it's about as close to me as i could hope for.

This means that every Penguin that goes to Philly this year must do the Rocky run!

What if I can't make Philly?

Sorry I can't make it.



why not? Can't you take a bus or a train or something? You take train rides to visit your friend every once in awhile, don't you?

that's so far off, i might be able to plan it so i swing up to NYC beforehand, hang with kkay and mebbe davey or whoever else for a day or two and then we swing pick howard up on the way back. i'm sure we'll be sane and healthy and no harm will come to him, even though it's just now dawning on me how thoroughly unnerving my avatar is right now.

i've been totally fine with that avatar for however long, and then suddenly like ten minutes ago it struck me as incredibly disturbing. so i changed it.

Howard for God's sake, get on a train to Philly.  You live in NYC for cryin' out loud.....trains go to Philly from there all the time!    There's nothing keeping you from going, and you would have a good time.

Would his parents let you do that?
i thought that might be the problem. full disclosure: i'm a rather bad influence. so yeah, maybe it won't work. but if how wants to hang i'm totally down with helping him get out to philly.

ok, you guys gotta take a video camera and film this momentous rendevous at Howards, that would be so awesome, trying to explain to his parents where & why you're taking him and who you are and how you met  ;D  I would pay money to see the look on their faces as you and Davey take their son to a Real Life Meeting.

of course they would but I'd think they'd want me to have someone travel with instead of doing it alone.

So. As of this point in time we have:

Philadelphia

Second weekend in July - Right? That would be like Friday the 6th through Sunday the 8th.

There's about.. what.. a dozen people who've expressed interest?

And I think a BBQ in the park was leading the way as a neat idea.

how are we all going to have group sex in a public park? this isn't very well thought out.

Might be useful. Most people get the 4th off and such.. if it's on a wednesday I guess a lot of people might have a little bit of time off.

july 4 wouldn't be nearly as wild in philly as it is here in DC. i would actually be relieved to get outta this town for the fourth... although being in a band, a lot of times we play the fourth.

But I thought we all voted for Vegas, Penelope... I must've missed something... ???

i think vegas was up for a while, a long time ago, but last i saw the consensus was for philly.

i doubt i could make vegas so we might just have to have two.

Vegas is hella expensive.  Not to mention, the bulk of the people that would be attending this, live on the East Coast/Midwest, so Philly is more accessible.

Naw, we're going to have to do a west coast and an east coast thing. 

Vegas is hella expensive.  Not to mention, the bulk of the people that would be attending this, live on the East Coast/Midwest, so Philly is more accessible.


Vegas would actually be cheaper because you can get room deals or stay in the cheaper hotels.  Plus food is cheap and you could hang out anywhere and for as long as you want and everything is within walking distance.  The biggest problem for the east coast people would be the travel expense and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to pay that.

Naw, we're going to have to do a west coast and an east coast thing. 


Er...ok... but it will have to wait until you move to Idaho... thus a west coaster.

I'll have to keep those dates in mind.

we stay at the Lodge on Pioneer Trail. you guys should get a room there, or across the street at the Americana, but you probably want a more luxurious accomodation and should stay at the Embassy Suites. The Horizon casino hotel has the best pool. I've stayed at harrahs, and Ceasars, but Ceasars is gone and now its MontBleu and I don't like it.

Are you serious about Ceasars?  Whoa!  We stayed there awhile back.  I remember telling you they were filming that movie Smokin Aces when we stayed....that wasn't too long ago.  George is going to trip!  I'd like to try the Embassy Suites and it's a nice location.

not kidding. they Eff'd Ceasars up by changing ownership or something and now it's some French style classy joint that has no charm or appeal to me. Ceasars was cool. I remember you were there when they filmed that.

Can I make a suggestion for those of you who are planning the West Coast get together? Try not to make it the same time as the East Coast because there may be a few people who might actually be able to make it to both.



Cat

Are we going to do this Philly thing or not?




Cat

I am totally up for it.
i thought it was a go- i guess it's time to plan...right?

Ok, this is the last time I'm bumping this thread up. The last we decided, it was going to be in Philly sometime in July (we hadn't decided on a date) and everyone will pick their own hotel (if needed). So, in order for this work, we need to pin-point the date, and where/what we will be doing. If no one comes up with anything, that will tell me that this is NOT going to happen. 




Cat

Philly isn't far from me. 

I have a get together with Ash like every 6 months.  LoL.

Can this still be arranged?

If I ever make it to New York...I will definitely meet ya for lunch Howard. :) I just don't know when I will make it out that way.

Something tells me that when Pismo Beach happens, there will be a few of us "accidentally" meeting up!

Jeff, Q- any comments?

Erin- if any meetings are happening in Cali, lemme know!

How near Philly? :)
I'm bridesmaid at a wedding in Delaware on the 22nd March and the bride has assured me I'm very close to Philly, as I'm hopeing to hook up with a penfriend (of the last 20 years who I have never met face to face before!) possibly in Philly.

If Himself comes with me we are planning to go to New York for a few days as we will fly into JFK and he's never been before. I'm not sure exactly what my plans are yet but I will be in the U.S for at least a week.

Philly is known as the tristate area.  Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.  So you're close.

What about Real Life phone calls.

That would indeed be a start.

It IS possible I might meet Philip for a cider ... if he's available / interested. I intend to be in the UK ... by July ...

That would indeed be a start.
our call could be something like this "Wayne, how are you, how's the family and Oroville? by the way, I'm wearing a leather hood right now"
