Ok, so July 1st cannot come fast enough now. Not only did my sister in law say she can watch the kids for a night, BUT I don't go back to work until Thursday! so that leaves plenty of traveling time.

WOO HOO! Rochester here I come!

Heck, we could do that at the Port Authority in Manhattan I owe Cyn a visit.

But didn't say no....I just don't plan that far in advance unless it's a race or an artshow

I wish I could come but money has become an issue, plus I couldn't get the days off from work I will make it one of these times I hope!

tecoyah

Were quickly approaching the omminous weekend of Tilted stupor.....nows the time to solidify the guest list, and begin the planning. I have begun the beer stock up, and need to figure out what we want to eat....any suggestions/preferences?

In order to help the planning of things - Secret and I are more like "weak maybe's" at this point moreso than "yes." Our money situation isn't great right now, so I don't know that we'll be able to swing it. I'd plan more on us not making it at this point though. :/

gettogether

This is a test, this is only a test. Had this been a real get together this post would have been followed by excessive drinking and heartfelt discussion, combined with good food and smiles.

We now return to your regularly scheduled posting.

I'm planning to arrive (with Aberkok in tow) early Friday evening. My wife and son will be with us but likely won't stay too long.

Since I'm leaving for Pittsburgh the next day, you can do with Aberkok what you wish.

I had planned to go back on the Sunday but a free ride back might be worth waiting for. I also have Monday off... I need to check a few things first though...

Shotgun!

Hi Tec,

Abaya and I might make it on Friday night (like midnight) or Saturday morning, and leave on Sunday morning. Would you have a spot for us to stay? We'd basically need a place to park the car; we have our sleeping bags and tent (we're doing a New England camping trip!) so we could stay in the house or in the yard, it doesn't matter .

Thanks!

Halx

Ooooooooooo

More incentive to go.
