Trish, im tentative, my contract job in VA pushed the start date back to 1 Sept so If im in the area (when ever the boat gets in with my car from the UK) i will be there with some beer and the stuff to make my world famous Long Island Ice Teas to contribute to the party. I will let you know for sure when it gets a bit closer to the date of the G2G

The paper goods I was referring to were plates, cups, napkins...

I don't recall ever asking anybody to bring TP in the past. To clarify there will be TP provided.

Time to start lobbying Helmut to make an appearance!

I will set the bait with some good German beer.

Non-R members are definitely welcome...especially locals.

I am not trying to compete with Travis' event...but it seems his demographic is significantly different from ours anyway.

Plus, it's a good distance away to boot! NJ > CT for this PA boy! Honestly, the only reason I'm tentative for this GTG is because of gas prices!!!

I'm having the R detailed on the 9th, just a few days before the GTG. Perhaps it's fate?

Also, quick question: Starts at 1PM, how long are you expecting for us to occupy your residence? And is there a spirited drive in mind?

People are welcome to stay as long as they are having fun...somehow I doubt it'll go 'til 2am...but we have a firepit and will do a fire after dark, so anyone who wants to hang, can.

As for spirited drive, if someone else wants to organize that part, they can do so. With my current business schedule, I'm a bit short on free time. Taking care of the food, setting up the yard and being at my home to host guests is all I am able to take on personally.

Also, I organized a "spirited drive" in this area for our meet last November. I live in the middle of fairly densely populated area of NJ suburbia. People had difficulty staying in the group and following the map, so I viewed the drive with mixed/limited success. I probably wouldn't do that route with a group again.
