Kitty? Matt? Anyone? Is this going to happen? I'd like it to happen again, the first one was fun :D

i gotta find out when Ron is going back to Africa before we can set a date. :D

Omg Grrrrr, lets do it next weekend!

Omg Grrrrr, lets do it next weekend!
this coming weekend, i will be in CT with Matt, and I have to talk to him tomorrow if I will be in CT with him next weekend. I will let you know tomorrow :D

I'll be in Allentown this weekend, and next weekend too if there is a BREWERY MEET!!!! :)

You can put off plans for a weekend....and CT is overrated ;)

ha ha :D

I have to pick him up in CT to get his bimmer (He just purchased an exploder to drive to and from work, since his job is across the street from a housing project). He's got to register the bimmer in the state soon and get his plates changed.

I really want to have the meet next weekend, let me see if he needs me to drive over there, and if not, I might bring him back to PA ;)

Yeah, bring him back to PA, the more the merrier! We gotta set up an official date soon so we can set a place/make rsvp and let everyone else know.....

defintely :D I will ask him tomorrow what we are doing for that weekend ;)

Where is everyone else, they can't be asleep already....is there no interest in this anymore? :(

I thought some guys where planning on commuting up with me from the DC area....

we'll generate some interest in this, i'm sure. Don't worry too much, i think there's someone from VA that wants to drive up for the meet.

yeah Phat Ham, hope he's still interested. I gotta pick up Brendan from Dulles airport in VA at noon on the 15th too, we're gonna haul ass somewhat to PA to make it :)

someone call me?

I'm still up for this. The weekend of the 15th works best for me. This weekend might not be so good since I'm in Tokyo right now and will probably be busy this weekend after I get back, not to mention jet lagged.

We should also get the NY/NJ people in on this since they are pretty close to it.

yes, we should get the NY/NJ folks and maybe the western PA people?

I am still game for this meet and finally meeting you guys, but unfort, my car is in the body shop right now, prob won't have it back till end of next week, not sure :( Later date for me for sure!

i bet you could hitch a ride with someone?

i bet you could hitch a ride with someone?

Yeah true, never thought of that! Guess I love driving too much to think of "riding" along, haha.

I'm right in Arlington, a few miles from Georgetown, anyone?

so the date may be changing from the 15th? hmm. anything earlier i cant make, anything later i am still game since preppy is driving my ass :D

During the day on the 15th still sounds like the best option. I'm headed to Atlantic City that night, if anyone would be game for some gaming.

alright, talked to matt, he won't be coming to the meet :( but I will be in town and we can organize for the 15th

aw damnit, wont be the same with out ole Matty! :(

I'm not too sure about doing it during the day since the DC guys gotta make the drive on this one. We'll probably be leaving around noonish/1pm since Brendan's flight doesn't get in till there. Plus I don't drive like a maniac *ahem: Brendan* so making it there in 2.5 hours is hard to do...

Kitty, what we did last time was excellent imho. Meet and greet before strolling over to grab food.

okey dokey, then early dinner would be cool with everyone?

where is everyone? stuggart (Mike)? Ron? Al? Simeon? everyone else?.........their moms? :confused

i wanna join :)

which brewery is this at again... though i'm not a fan of beer i'll find something to drink (but not to drive)

you're gonna be drunk from your birthday until the 15th arent ya? :stickoutt

bring your girlie friends Siobahn!!! :devillook

yeah Phat Ham, hope he's still interested. I gotta pick up Brendan from Dulles airport in VA at noon on the 15th too, we're gonna haul ass somewhat to PA to make it :)

You guy's can swing by and stage at my place I live off Rt28 less than 10 min from the APT. Sorry I can't go. :(

I need to call them tomorrow to see if we can get a whole table for all of us again. I would like to have a more finite headcount before I call.

she probably wont come to the meet on the 15th... she still has to work, but you can count me in

who is this 'she' you speak of...

Clint, ya if we can find an easy place to stop and go, we'll take you up on that offer :) Thanks man!

my friend Erin; she's 23 or so and i hope she'll come up with me to my party on the 11th... and no, i dont have any pictures

Not gonna happen for me: I'll be in Miami, bitches!

Do you have any other girly friends? I bet Erin is a cutie, I have yet to meet an Erin who is either hot/sweet/cute...

Hey Kitty, I think I am going to pass on this. I know I am horrible for starting it all back up and then backing out.

I am looking at my revised schedule and since I'm going to be in PA this coming weekend, then Colorado from the 11th until the 15th, I don't think I'm going to be up for driving up to PA again, and then school starts back up that Tuesday (the 18th)..... :help

Maybe we could do this the following weekend or the weekend after?

you're just making excuse so i'll stay on the east coast longer... well guess what; it just might work :(

come on, you're not coming to my party, you're not coming to the meet, what type of loser are you ;)

I might be up for it. I'm just posting here so I get an email when people post to this thread. :)

pussy. chris and i are coming, dont listen to his incoherent ramblings.

Well crap if i'm going to be the only one from the DC area then I probably won't go. Damn it Chris don't be a girly man. (My attempt at peer pressure)

all right, lemme see if i can push the flight up to Friday the 14th to go home rather than Sat.

*succumbing to peer pressure....and the lure of beer* :stickoutt

How's about a tentative headcount of 15 sound?

OK.......Dinner is at 5:30, but please arrive at 4 for a meet and greet. Same parking place as the last time. :D

Needing directions? Email or PM me

We'll be there. We might be a bit late for the meet and greet (depending on much ass we haul to get up there), but we'll be there by 5:30 for the fude and bere :stickoutt

Hampton, I hope you can keep up cause Brendan is going to be driving my car there, and he doesn't like to go below 80 unless there is a cop arouns :eek:

I drive like a grandma though...I'll be stickin around 80-90....95 tops...

thats strait, but u can drive most the way.

95 is faster than most grandma's go... besides chris, ur parents are the ones that dont even think the car will make it :nono we'll show them!

rofl, true that, they probably don't think I'll make it, longest i've ever driven straight is 2 hours...

but yeah, we'll have to make a pit stop somewhere

I'm game. Need me a quick road trip, beer sounds like a good enough reason to me!

Nice! It's always fun drinking with Andre :)

Doh, go check weather.com for next Saturday in Bethlehem, PA :az
30% Rain/Snow showers

Should I throw my all-season tires on for the trip for safety's sake? Or should I risk it and ride on my 18's :dunno

My car is on snow tires, will stay that way until late march or so. Mebbe early April. Bring on the snow. My ez pass and me will get there no probs.

But yeah, if it snows, you don't want to be on summer rubber. For that fact, if it's below freezing summer rubber will get slick as snot.

where is everyone? stuggart (Mike)? Ron? Al? Simeon? everyone else?.........their moms? :confused

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yea i should be able to make it...im still not of age tho :(

it sucks looking old but not being old

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yea i should be able to make it...im still not of age tho :(

it sucks looking old but not being old

dont worry, brendan will buy you a beer :D

i need to learn how to log off after using other peoples computers.

I should be there but will most likely be pimping the Camry as my car still is in the shop getting its head done and the bad weather is bad news for my S03s. See you all then.

i hate to back out this late in the planning but i'm gonna be getting on a plane headed to cali at 8am that morning...

omgwtfHI2U!? You cannot cancel on us, I cancelled my flight to CO for this cause you were whining earlier in this thread...:mad

Oh well, enjoy yourself over in Cali, cause you'll be missing out ;)

hey, be nice to me! sorry but sh!t happens and that was the earliest i could get a flight for the cheapest ammount of money...

you should try to make it even for a little bit on the 11th so i can have a kinda birthday/going away party/meet... come on, you know you want to :)

What's the earliest folks are arriving?

Im in... new M car wont be arriving until later in the week but Ill bring the old P-car again. :D

What's the earliest folks are arriving?
4 :)

We should be there around 4-4:30 assuming there are clean roads and no traffic problems. Hopefully Preppy and I can get there smoothly.

oh mannn dont know if i can make it now..gotta take momma to the airport..so ill see

Hampton, I hope you can keep up Do you guys have an EZpass or smart pass or whatever those things are called? Because I don't. Might be a problem if you guys have to wait for me to pay some tolls. Are we even going through tolls? btw, if it's snowing I might have to drop out of this one since I'm still running summer tires.

Also, where/when do you guys want to meet for the drive up there?

I'll be there unless its cruddy outside and i'm 25 on saturday. :redspot

Shouldn't be any toll...

Ah, Ill be looking forward to seeing your beautiful Coupe again. ;)

How many do we have at this point? Based on cancellations I would suggesting moving it to a later date this month... but Im assuming we are working around alot of winter breaks for the students?

Yeah, it's all about the winter break stuff, and the fact that Kitty already made RSVP's...:dunno

Yeah, it's all about the winter break stuff, and the fact that Kitty already made RSVP's...:dunno
I did make RSVP for 15 people, sorry I didn't post that :D

Everything's taken care of for that

Shouldn't be any toll...

Ummm..

Baltimore tunnel
Just past the bridge over the Susquehana at Havre de Grace

Both of those are tolls we need to pass through.

If somebody can post directions that would be awesome.

Yeah...see.....we're goin up I-270, then hitting Hwy-15, then 83, then 81....or something like that

Yeah...see.....we're goin up I-270, then hitting Hwy-15, then 83, then 81....or something like that Are you going to go straight from Dulles, or are you going home first after you pick up Brendan? If you're going straight from Dulles I could meet you guys out there and then take 28 > 7 > 15

We're rolling straight from Dulles...

Hampton, do you know if Dulles has the deal where the first hour of parking is free?

We're rolling straight from Dulles...

woot.

No free parking at dulles. $4 for the first hour. And they do mean 60 minutes - was parked for 70 minutes and the damn machine charged me $8!!

I'd love to come up to the meet this saturday, but I've got a broken car that desperately needs to be fixed!

We're rolling straight from Dulles...

Hampton, do you know if Dulles has the deal where the first hour of parking is free? Just keep driving around the arrival lobby to avoid having to park. I suppose eventually they will notice and think you are a terrorist and arrest you, but me and my friends have never had any problems with this strategy.

EDIT: happy 15kth post btw.

Where is the Brewery meet? Im interested in going, if it is a social gathering and not just private.

woot.

If you want to hitch a ride you are more than welcome

I appreciate it, but my limitation is daylight hours not cars. I can't afford to pass up any more nice saturday afternoons with my car immobile on the street. I'm afraid the neighborhood fascists will tow it before too much longer. :(

Sorry, didn't mean to get off topic.

Bethlehem Brew Works, Bethlehem, PA

EDIT: happy 15kth post btw.

:lol I thought I was the only one that did this. After a while the cops stop caring. I may be able to make it. I'll let you guys know on the 13th.

EDIT: At what time are you guys leaving?

Picking Brendan up at 1pm...then heading straight there...maybe we could swing by Tysons to meet up with whoever?

Everyone should print out a map/directions too, just so you have a gist of where/how long it will take.

Everyone should print out a map/directions too, just so you have a gist of where/how long it will take. It might be faster if we all meet up out by the airport somewhere. from dulles maps.yahoo.com says to go back to 495 and take 495 -> 95 through ballamore -> 83, while mapquest says to take 15N -> 83. yahoo's total distance is 229 miles (4h 23min) and mapquest's 198 miles (3h 39min). Don't know which way is actually faster, though, or if any of the other people are willing to drive out to Dulles.

Who else is going from the DC area?

woot.

actually the first 20 minutes is free at dulles :)

First 20mins?!!?!? Wicked nice.

Hey Hampton, I still don't like going that route...I would like to stay away from B-more if possible. The route Brendan takes home is the way we're going to go, it might be longer or whatever according to the map, but thats the way we're goin.

You could roll up with Adolenc maybe? He's going to be taking the route you're looking at...

I haven't looked at a map yet to figure out how I'm getting there. The 270 route could be cool, I live close to there. I don't really have a problem with 95, EZpass makes that route a lot easier. I'll bust out a map tomorrow and figure it out, tired from brewing beer tonite.

Doubt I'll go to the airport and start there, but we should definitely try and meet up and caravan.

If you guys are taking 15 -> 83, I could meet up with you in Harrisburg to join the caravan the rest of the way to Bethlehem.

Is it me or is this getting somewhat complicated...

What's the route that Brendan is taking?

Well, it's the route he normally takes, he'll be riding with me, but we're going up I-270 to Frederick, then hwy15 up to Harrisburg, then hitting whatever freeway it is (I-83?) to get to Bethlehem/Allentown, PA

Well, it's the route he normally takes, he'll be riding with me, but we're going up I-270 to Frederick, then hwy15 up to Harrisburg, then hitting whatever freeway it is (I-83?) to get to Bethlehem/Allentown, PA Coming from Dulles, that route should take you through the Tysons Corner area, right? If so, couldn't we all meet up at Tysons somewhere and then caravan out from there?

Yeah, I said that already...;)

Yeah, I said that already...;) alright so what time and where in tysons?

If you're doing that way you'll take US 15 north to Harrisburg, then pick up I83 for a bit which will lead you to I81 and I78 which will take you to Allentown.

Let's do 1:15-1:30 at Tysons. With 1:30 being the absolute latest...I am hoping Brendan's flight is on time too, and if it is, we should be there at around 1:15-1:20...if not, we'll be scrambling even more and can plan on an alternate meeting spot further up I-270/hwy15 or something...

Let's meet at the Exxon gas station in front of the Bertucci's on rt.7, it is right next to the Best Buy/ forgot which book store....same side of the street with the Cartier/Hermes stores as well as the Chili's/On The Border restaurants...that way, we can fill up on gas before we head out, because I plan on going straight to be theet without stopping unless my car has a problem :stickoutt

Do you have my cell Hampton?

Oh and do you have a two-way radio?

I'll shoot to be at that gas station as well. I'll PM you my cell, and have a few 2 way radios I'll try and remember to throw in the car.

Sounds good Andre, I sent you a PM with my cell as well

I have no radio, but I PMed you guys my cell number.

Just a reminder though guys, to print out directions just in case we get seperated or something, having maps is helpful to make references when we're trying to get you back on the right roads...:)

OK.......Dinner is at 5:30, but please arrive at 4 for a meet and greet. Same parking place as the last time. :D

Needing directions? Email or PM me I sent you an email a while ago but you never responded. Where is the meet and greet?

I sent you an email a while ago but you never responded. Where is the meet and greet?

Yeah, Kitty, do we have directions to that train station parking lot????

I'll be there unless its cruddy outside and i'm 25 on saturday. :redspot

Gregory, what time are you heading over? If it is nice out I may break the ///M out of hibernation. Your car looked great when I saw you in Q-town. Now I have to get you to come to the track with me.

Miller, glad to see the wife is letting you out. I'll be heading out around 4. If you want to meet up let me know. Now as for the track, when do my lessons begin?

Anyone going from Philly that wants to give me a lift? My car definitly won't be done anytime this month it looks like.

I'm in. Chris, I'll email you my cell #.

PM'd ya back

K, just to double check with everyone who is meeting up on Sat and rolling up:
1. Me/Brendan
2. Hampton (Phat Ham)
3. Andrej (Adolenc)
4. Paul (CASTRO)

Am I missing anyone?

Ok - who is going from the Philly area? Caravan anyone? I can get to Bethlehem but the specific parking lot is going to require a bit of detective work...

I have a problem with tomorrow, it's too late in the day... I could do noon-3pm or so, but the earliest it starts is 4pm... I need to be back home around 5/5:30pm... :az

Hey Mike, what are you doing Monday Night around 5-6:30pm??? I'm heading to Monks before the Soul's Pep Rally and Bon Jovi concert...

Hey guys:

I apologize, I was away for the past two days in Ohio:

Here are directions again to the train station parking lot:

From I-78 (from the east) Make a right at the light at Exit 67 (Bethlehem, Hellertown exit) and Follow 412N until you see the New Street-Fahy Bridge (about 5-7 miles). Make a right onto the New Street Bridge and make a left at the light at the end of the bridge. You will see the Main Street Depot restaurant to your left, and directly in front of it will be the parking lot that we will be meeting in. Make a left at the stop sign to get into the parking lot.

From the Philly area:
PA 476N to NE extension. Take the QuakerTown Exit (John Fries Hwy, Rt 663) Make a left at the light after the toll and follow until you are at Rt 309 (about 5-6 miles). Make a left at the light for 309N and follow until 378N (about 10-12 miles). Make that sweeping right onto 378N and take 378N into Bethlehem (about 12 miles). You will come up to a large steel bridge onto 378, take the first exit after the bridge (Main Street) and make a right at the light. Follow the road down the hill and make the first left. The parking lot will be directly in front of you.

I-78 (from the west) Take exit 67 (Hellertown, Bethlehem) and make a right at the light. Take 412N until you see the New Street-Fahy Bridge (5-7 miles) and make a right at the light onto the bridge. Make a left at the light at the end of the bridge and you will see the Main Street Depot restaurant on your left hand side. The parking lot is just beyond that, make a left at the stop sign to get into the parking lot.

I will be driving siobhan to the philly airport in the late morning/early afternoon, so if you guys want to caravan from Philly with me, that would be fine. We would probably get to the meet a little early, but I will call one of you and let you know when I would be heading up to Bethlehem. Mike or someone else, PM me your cell, and I'll give you guys a call and maybe we can meet somewhere and caravan up.

mike, i'll be heading up 309 around 3:45 if you want to meet up let me know

Ok - who is going from the Philly area? Caravan anyone? I can get to Bethlehem but the specific parking lot is going to require a bit of detective work...

I am coming from Philly area, if it is nice out :rolleyes

Feel free to give me a call guys (and gal). We'll organize something. Im closest to the Lansdale exit so if Kitty is going to be coming from Philly "a little early" I can always meet up with her (and maybe slick too) somewhere outside the city and we can swing by and meet you in Q-town, bsg.

Two One Five, Two Zero Six, Three Zero Two Seven. (spelled to avoid spam programs...)

Dave, you might as well write that down too, I still have yours lying around here somewhere - I responded to you in the other thread - but Monday might be OK at Monks - Ill let you know by Sunday evening.

Extremely attractive and open minded females in the area are free to call as well. ;)

Pics of the dropped TI ? Sorry we couldn't make it but the 325e needed some wrench time before the snow hits.
Next time we'll be there. Mmmm Rudolph's
Maybe we'll be up for that, Matt put that craven into my head.

didn't do the work on it yet, will be dropping it in the spring so my car isn't more of a snow plow than it already is :D. They just took the rudolph's off of tap :( You guys have to come up next time.
