hey my little diamonds in the rough!
so once again, I travel and we get new friends!!! welcome to all of you!
so my PA boys may have heard but I feel the need to share with all of you, as some of you may know I work for an environmental company and we get called out for all kinds of things, from rail strikes (when people/animals get hit by trains) to major distasters (Katrina, BP Gulf spill....) well true to form we are not without an interesting one this month. Wednesday night there was an explosion in Bristol, PA; a tank was struck by lightening and went BOOM! so of course it was on the news, internet, all the fun media....well guess who has "pleasure" of working the cleanup!? absolutely! that would be moi! it's sooooooo crazy BUT!!! it does add money to the Disney account. so right now, I'm a shining star in my boss's eyes (a least I think I am) and we don't how long it's gonna last, so I will try to check in with you all as this progresses.
speaking of progress, my house now has flooring and painted walls!! the appliances will be going in this week and furniture will be delivered in the next two weeks...now I have to start packing the stuff in the rental house...

Sounds fun.

I never watch the news anymore, so this is the first i've heard of the big bada-boom!




In other news.... I'm thinking since we are a week away from the traditional weekend that starts the summer period, we REALLY need to work on figuring out when/where we are doing the East coast Meet this summer. Since it seems most of our East Coast peeps are on the northern side of the coast (not including the Florida contingent), I was thinking we may want to do either Dorney Park (North-east PA) , HersheyPark (again), or maybe Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ? Preferences?

Also.... I'd almost think either June or July might be best just so we aren't TOO close to the October meet at WDW... but August would also be quite doable (And give anybody who wants to fly in more time to get tickets).

Diva? CoasterAddict? ? anybody else wanting to come to the meet? Lets get some input.

After watching that travel channel special I totally wanna check out Hershey! When are y'all planning it, I may be able to squeeze it in if someone would ride the thrill rides with me!!!

I would be willing to go to Dorney or Hershey (I am really close to Hershey). July or August would be good times for me. June is a little busy for me personally as I have trips planned early in the month.

I was kinda leaning towards Hershey as well due to the show/AirConditioning factor.... but I didn't want to just declare another Hershey Meet this year without hearing from others.

(Currently) there are only 2 coasters there I won't ride..... 1 because it's a wooden coaster then tends to mess with my back/neck pretty bad, and 1 because i physically won't fit. Beyond that, i don't have a problem riding anything there.

So Another vote for Hershey.




So It's sounding like Hershey is the one getting the support. I don't have a problem with that. Next question then would be when do you guys want to go? Mid July? Mid-Late August? Some possibly dates would be July 14th or 21st? or August 11th, 18th, or 25th?

The only date I can't do is July 14th.

There are some concerts at the Stadium that might have the crowd levels up:

July 14 - Nickelback
August 11 - Big Time Rush
August 17-18 - Mix Tape Festival (two day festival with many artists).

There are many different places to get discount tickets for Hersheypark. Giant Grocery Stores have a discount ticket along with local AAA offices.

I need to visit here more often. Didn't realize there was a single's thread. I'm heading down Friday night after work and plan to spend Sat/Sun hopping between MK/HS/Epcot. Anybody else hoping BTMR is open Sunday? I wan to pick up something to send a friend overseas from the SWW swag but don't figure I'll spend any other time in HS unless something catches my attention...it happens. Any meet ups planned? I'd love to meet some new people.

you may also want to remove any aerosols from your pocket before you get on any ride....just a thought....

So Another vote for Hershey.

just a side note, I will be in VA Beach the weekend of th 14th for sorority convention (no the pyrate and prince cannot come!) but please don't think my opinion is the deciding date.

Sounds like the 14th wouldn't be good for either of you, so I'm thinking it might be best to scratch that date off the table.

Based off the concert schedule... and the potential desire to keep from being TOO close to the October meet (or a potential impromptu Ren Faire Gathering to see the in his native habitat).... Do we want to shoot for July 21st? The biggest down-side I see to that weekend would be it's being just under 2months away which wouldn't give much time for anyone wanting to fly in for the meet to get their tickets [Tara? TDB?].

 

[ctnurse]

I don't think I will make the east coast meet this summer this year either. July and August are very busy. I will be in Europe from July 3-11 and will be in WDW from August 18-26. I don't think I can squeeze in another trip this summer, but will be there for the Oct meet. I'm thinking about flying down Oct 11 and staying until Oct 15. I was thinking about renting points at BWV but there isn't anything available so now I am thinking about the Swan or Dolphin with the nurse rate. Right now that looks like what I will do. I am still holding out for a AP or GP rate but refuse to pay rack rate right now.

I'm sure such an event could use a really good photographer
