Ok, it seems there is a bunch of folks heading down to Allentown next week-end.

Maybe we should try to get some evening "activities" planned while we're all there...
(... I know some of you are invited to some private parties,
but I know these are "somewhat" by invitation only ...)

So for the rest of us, maybe a good place to start is to take stock
of who's going, where they are staying
and what nights they will be there.

From there, maybe something will come up.

So I'll start :

Who   :  Steph  (going solo from Ottawa)
When  :  Friday night only   (coming back Sat afternoon)
Where :  Staying at Howard Johnson's at Dorney Park

Plans :  Nothing yet. Hope to catch the flea market on Friday night
            and hook-up with some MAACA members for the evening.
            Maybe meet-up with Shoeguy to play some pin in his hotel room
            or hook-up with SpaceCadet and the boys to cause some trouble  
            Open to offers !!!

Sylvain

I will be going with Sparky and Splitskull.

We are staying friday and saturday night at the Howard Johnson as well.

Plans: i have someone to meet on an item i've been dealing for a while, other than that nothing.

We are supposed to have something to setup in the hotel room as well  

Tom

Driving down early next Thursday, picking up BSD on the way. Likely BSD and Heavy Metal Meltdown setup in the room. Staying 4 nights at the Holiday Inn Hamilton blvd. Wings and beer at Rookies Friday night!

[ Bump to bring back to front page...]

Surely there are more than 6 of us going to A-town ?!?!?

(...unless you are all too embarrassed to admit you are meeting-up with Splitskull with your box of condoms ! )

So far Shoeguy has the best offer at Rookies sports bar on Friday night...
... and with any luck, the Sens will be on the big screen !

It was Holiday Inn with the pool, but no worries.

Quoted from shoeguy

Likely ...Heavy Metal Meltdown setup in the room.

Uh-oh... I may not be able to resist cranking it up!!! Dedicated or generic cab art?

Check your pm's...  

HoJo at Dorney has " a HEATED INDOOR POOL and Jacuzzi. "

f*** yeah... jacuzzi is not a bad idea at all after a day at the Fairgrounds. I'll bring the beer.

Now if I remember where did I find cheap beer last year......

The London crew is heading down early Friday and leaving Sunday. Staying at the HoJo's - the pool and jacuzzi are nice.

What about the Pinball Parlour on Saturday night?

You could call it the Special Olympics  

Quoted from Vengeance

You could call it the Special Olympics  

OH SNAP!

Or we could call it the 1st annual "people-who-don't-take-things-nearly-as-seriously-as-Adam-and-therefore-actually-have-fun" pinball tournament.

And let me guess everyone gets a Participation ribbon as well right

Nah... everyone gets *drunk* and by the time the tourney is over nobody cares who the winner is.

Or is that just your excuse for sucking  

Drunkeness will possibly be my reason for "sucking at pinball" during those so called "special olympics"! That and lack of sleep... Friday is usually a LONG day for me during this weekend.

Anyway, hopefully I will be "in" and hangin' with the London crew, staying at the Dorney Park HoJo as well... Friday and possibly Saturday night.

My main goal is I hope to meet BOTH Sylvain's this year! We'll see...

  Man, I want to go so bad...

Hope Bish can whip up some "Pinball Olympics" patch/ribbons.

       LET THE DRINKING GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

Sounds like there are some earth shattering bragging
rights up for grabs. Thanks for the great idea Adam
we will not let you down...this will be the most SPECIAL
Pinball Olympics ever!!!!!

Actually, he's in one of our rooms. He's an honorary Londoner again like last year.   Anyone can be an honorary Londoner as long as they don't mind the spooning.

We're (Marc, Maxime, Mathieu and I) heading down on Thursday night arriving  early Friday AM.  Going for breaky at Hi Hops then catching some shut eye.  Back-up around noon heading to the convention.  Hanging-out...

Then, Friday night probably heading down to the Cigar Affectionato convention + visit the Brew Works brewing co (Did I mentionne they give out FREE samples! and that the tour is free!)

Friday night, when back at the hotel, setting-up one possibly two new Stern purchases.  Playing pinball, Atari2600 tourney, beer...

Saturday morning, back at the show.  During the day, going to hit the Sushi guy at the Farmers Market.  Saturday night going-up to Philly to catch a Flyers/insert winning team here hockey game.

Sunday morning, back at the show final deals heading back to Canada after the draw.

Sound nice hey!!!

See you all there

Marty

To be more preciseon our itinerary, we are leaving around 3am, heading through Lacolle down to New York where I have two pns to deliver and 2 to pick up, then head for Allentown, ariving in the early afternoon. Head for the HoJo, set up a bit, maybe a bit of a nap, then head for the expo. do definitive plans for Friday night and Saturday all day. we will probably leave early Sunday morning unless something comes up.
