The wife would love to be outnumbered 19:1 or so, again.  Bring singles.

Seriously, though, my place is your place for the event.  As for the smoking, it will be separated and fanned.  Weather permitting, it will be encouraged to smoke out doors.  I will rent a tent, if need be, and have a fire pit to ward of the insect world.

If Mother Nature decides that smoking must be done indoors, I will setup the front porch as a smoke room, and there is always the covered area out back of the house.

Further, if I had to, I would, gladly, not smoke for the duration of the event if it would ensure that any and all who wish to come, do.
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

I know this would be about 6 months out, but we can always start the prep work like maybe getting the Excelsior boards for Talamania if ok with Thom. If they need any repair or touch up I'am willing to lend a hand. Also if there's anything needed for the 2 days food/drink/tables/etc we can get volenteers or send some cash to help out. I think Talamania I was a great success and I look forward to T2 being the same. ;D ;D ;D

The 4-State Militia is seriously talking about making this one!!  It all depends on when it is.  canonball is a teacher, so if it is in early May he is out, but Troy and I can still make it.  We would appreciate a place to crash so we only have to buy tickets, food, BOOZE, etc.

For starters:  ALL PARTICIPANTS WHO COME TO TALAMANIA WILL BE PROVIDED WITH SPACE TO SLEEP.  BRING SLEEPING BAGS OR AIR MATTRESSES, AND KNOW YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR LODGING. 

I BELIEVE WE'RE DOIN' IT AGAIN IN MAY.  IF LATE MAY IS LOOKIN' GOOD FOR ALL OF YOU, WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU'RE TRIP IS WORTHWHILE.  YOU WILL SAMPLE PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS AND TEXAS DEATH FRIES.  YOU WILL ROLL DICE AND PUSH PEWTER 'TIL YOUR EYES BLEED.  YOU WILL MEET LOTS OF FELLOW PLAYERS FROM THIS COMMUNITY.  IF YOU DON'T HAVE MODELS, THERE WILL BE EXTRAS BROUGHT IN. 

BRYON "PHILLYSNIPER" WAS EXCEPTIONAL IN HIS HELP SETTING UP THE EVENT AND PICKING PEOPLE UP AT THE AIRPORT.  I FORGET WHO PICKED UP COIL AT THE TRAIN STATION, BUT BELIEVE ME, IF PEOPLE ARE COMIN' IN, THEY WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.

I might try to make this one but please get a firm date set by the end of the year so that I can arrange for time off.  I have to give 3-6 months notice these days to get the time.  Speaking of Texas Death Fries, being from there originally, I will make another football game treat from Texas for ya, Frito Pie.  It's pretty easy, fritos covered in chili, covered in cheese and baked until the cheese melts and welds it together.  I have an award chili recipe that has won several contests.  It comes in hot, hotter and hottest although I could be persuaded to make a milder version if enough people can't take the heat.

If you all can solidify a date, I will try to make it as well.  As representative of the Rocky Mountain contingent, I can bring Coors...or not!!!   (Back in the day...Coors beer was hard to get in certain regions.  Not sure if that is still the case...)   

I susupect I'd be flying in, as a roadtrip would be too much time to get there and then back.  Plus, plane tickets should still be pretty cheap that time of year.

Another trip to Philly? Spend time playing Warzone and hanging with Thom, the Philly Crew and the Jersey Boys and assorted other forumites? You guys will probably force me to eat "Death Fries" too. Well if I have to.......  ::)

Either weekend is good for me. I am willing to pick up anyone who flies into Philly airport. Ill just need dates times and flight numbers. Let me know once we firm up a date.


On another note Ill touch base with Dave and see if he has a preference for either weekend in May.

Watch out for Mom's day! I will sign the divorce papers now if we have it on Mother's day weekend. Let me know so I can contact a lawyer now to get it over with. Just kidding. The weekend after Mom's day is good for me.

I would love to attend again but unfortunately I cannot combine it with a business trip this time which decreases the odds of me being able to come.
