LOL Johnny!

Brooke, we are going down....and as of now we are planning to truck back to Jersey the same nite -- still a little up in the air on that, but we both took the day off Monday, so no pressure.

Let me know if you decide to go!

tdb - don't know if you caught my post on the Philly roll call thread, but I got the 4 - star Hyatt @ Penns Landing for $70.00 through Priceline for the night of the show. I was planning on driving back to LBI after the show, but couldn't turn that deal down.

It's right across the street from the Riverstage, and only a couple of minute walk. 8-)

driving down from long island with the ms. and also got a room at the hyatt for $70 from priceline.

would love to meet some of you before the show

Cool beans headhunter. I guess you weren't kidding when you said you were going to try it after Newport. 8-)

Looking like this might be the place for a pre-show meetup. Hope to meet some folks before the show also.

newport was awesome.

my wife and i took the road trip to merriweather post a few months back and it was one of the best 24 hour trips we ever took. amazing show!

she told me i could go to all 5 at terminal 5 in nyc but only if i took her to philly for the mmj show.

she didn't have to twist my arm that hard.

Yes, MPP was a great show,and I'll be hitting all 5 @ T5 also. 8-)

Glad the Priceline deal worked for you too.

headhunter · Aug 06, 2010, 10:00 PM

me too, thanks. extra $ for a (hopefully) cool philly poster and one of those nice owl tank-tops for my wife!

i'm thinking this show could be a good warm up for the you know what @ the you know where ;) .. living in nyc rules but not having a car sorta blows. less come and go (from the city) as i please ... we shall see if i can cobble something together but i'm thinking work on monday is going to be the kicker.

Have you looked into taking a train down?

Amtrak has a train out of NYC Penn Station leaving @ 1:17 and arriving at Philly 30th St. Station @ 2:38 for $35.00. Return trip leaves Philly @ 10:45.

You could also look into NJ Transit, also leaving NYC Penn Station with a connecting train from Trenton to Philly. Those trains leave NYC @ 10:14, 11:14, and 12:14 and arrive in Philly @ 12:45. 1:45, and 2:45, and run $15.50. The return trains leave Philly @ 10:49, and 11:49, arriving in NYC @ 1:35 and 2:35. I believe the layover in Trenton for any of these is only about 15 minutes.

Its going to be the best Sunday EVER!

Northern Neighbour · Aug 08, 2010, 12:44 PM

Is anyone else going to the Canandaigua show and then heading to Philly? We plan on hitting both shows, although we have a very complicated travel arrangement.

br00ke · Aug 10, 2010, 11:22 PM

ugh .. wind out of my sails. i was going to maybe take trish up on her offer for the way down and take amtrak back .. but looks like i might have to work 6 days that week so a hail mary down to philly would probably destroy me .. *or*.. if i'm not working i have to go to some damn country house for a close friends birthday which is a sorta last hurrah before their move out west.

damn folks getting in the way of my MMJ (insert me shaking my fist) .. [size=8]if i have to work i might still haul ass down on sunday for some tail shaking though .. i'm not ready to start acting old and tired yet[/size] ;)
