HH "Reunion" UPDATE!

[Blue Charvel]

Okay, so I'm willing to open my doors to all you knuckleheads if you're into it. Going with Terry's suggestion for starters, how about June 27, 2009 at my house? I figure it's roughly midway between the western US and Western Europe and all points in between where most of us seem to hail from.

 

I'm also open to other suggestions, but since no one said anything I'm throwin' my hat in the ring. I've got 3.5 acres, a deck and a grill which I know how to use. I would propose this to be a family friendly event in most respects, although there will most certainly be beer and possibly a band or two?

 

What are your thoughts? Let's plan this baby and make it happen. If an alternate location/venue is proposed I am more than willing to give that a go as well.

 

Who's up for it?

[martinsane]

As already stated I am in plus 3!!! The date sonds good.

 

Hootenany at your place and what about lodging? Anything close by?

[Evil Rick]

It's plenty of notice so I think if I started saving now and at the same time started working on the wife I should have an ok by May '09. We'd probably get a sitter for the kids and have it be just her and I, with it being a nice little trip out to the East Coast.

[Mullethead]

Would be KILLER! Why 2009 though?

[speed demon]

Sounds GREAT to me. I would definitely make the trip!

I suggested that just so I could start recouping some $$$ after a long lay off... Figured by summer of 09 should be in the $ again and ample to time to finalize all the details.

Okay, makes sense. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! Should be awesome!

Holidays being well (I can't book that far in advance at work, but I will sort something) Count me in. Always wanted to come over to the US, so this is as good an excuse as anything. Nothing too much to arrange here bar plane ticket etc. Pete - you may be able to advise me on a few hotels etc, nearer the time, 'cos if I come over, I was thinking of obviously staying over for a few days and take in some of the sights as well . Excellent idea and I hope a few people will be able to make this.

[Swazi]

Hmmm ..., sounds like a phantastic idea ! I am going to try very hard, but I can't make any promises ... it's so far away and it's quarterend (working in sales for a US company!) ........ !

 

Hey, but please send me those infos as well, which airport to fly to, hotels, etc. ... !

 

[Blue Charvel]

Travel info... I don't think I can forward my travel site search results, but you would want to search (I use Orbitz.com or Sidestep.com) for hotels near Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889. Airports I would recommend Newark, NJ (EWR) which is by far the closest, Philadelphia, PA (PHL) isn't bad either and lastly JFK in NY (JFK) which is a crappy airport and a shitty ride, but may be the best choice for the international travelers. I find myself having to fly out of there more often than not when traveling abroad. Time permitting, I will do my best to assist anyone up to and including picking you up at the airport if I can.

 

Basically whatever I can do to make this easier for any of you I will do, this would be totally worth it IMHO.

[RichieZ]

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun!

I'll be sure to pick up some good beer if you're coming. I know you're a fellow beer snob.

[SamboraRocks86]

Part of the point of it is to get everyone together as opposed to separate international chapters. Separate meets would defeat that purpose. The next one would be at another location more convenient for those living in Western Europe most likely, at least that's the way we're looking at it so far...

[JLPRocks]

I think that this may be 'doable'......and probably an interesting time for sure. I'd definitely like to meet the members here, especially my brethren from 'across the pond', so to speak!

Well dodgy as you know

[Retrospect Records]

How about a H.H. meeting in July in the middle of the country? Jim , Dave?

...whatever I can do to make this easier for any of you I will do...totally worth it IMHO.

Can you drive to upstate New York, convince my wife to let me go, drive me back to your place, pay for all my food/lodging, then drive me back home when the event is over? That'd be swell. Oh yeah, and bring me some free Rockarma & Farcry CDs. Thanks. You're da best.

Hold on, I'll warm up the car.
