¿When for monroeville, pennsylvania GTG?
As we were leaving, it was said that another GTG in The 'burgh would be good.
SO, AS TO GET THE BALL ROLLING, ¿WHEN, FOR MONROEVILLE (The Vault @ Kolman Jewelers ~ BRAND NEW PRIVATE, by appointment only, gorgeously appointed, store has just opened, but isn't stock, thought a Rollie AD, but is by the Doubletree. /breathe/ LOL!)? ¿SHADYSIDE (Henne Jewelers is STOCKED from the tippy-tippy bottom to the tippy-tippy top wit' a bunch of Rolex!)? (Within a shortish drive from hotels.) Monroeville has the Doubletree within a trot from both The Vault AND a couple of eateries! (Hint, hint. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge : ) Oh, and FREE parking galore (Think Mall...Monroeville Mall right there for all your shopping wants and needs!!) Pa Turnpike, and a limo (bus) from the airport, make Monroeville a wonderful choice. Quite a few motels within a very short drive and a Hampton Inn 'bout 2 miles away and right off of the T-Pike. Henne has a terrific display of a terrific amount of all types of the whole terrific line. They have been 'attacked' twice in the past few months, but the perps got nuttin'! Pay parking, smallish eateries, but with an Apple Store for yunz I-Phone fanatics, Shadyside seems like a second choice, even wit' Henne's right there! Let's collaborate in picking a month and a day 6 to 12 months away (or less?). Suggest away! ^COFFEE TIME!^ |

Home this afternoon. Getting a comet to leave its orbit pales in comparison to getting me out of Pittsburgh in terms of difficulty. Exhausted but ecstatic beyond words, this one is.
The liquor part was intoxicating. I think UncleSallie understands.

Satan can't take you down any path that you don't already know how to walk. But I can !

As for our next meet, I can 100% go as long as it's ANYtime in 2011. I used up all my week's off this year unfortunately. So, anytime next year and count me in We usually have a GTG every year, the same crew of us (Dan, Stan, Fred, etc.) and Fred always chimes in every week or so with a countdown till' the next meet So, I'm 100% in anytime next year |

I hear you - I'm still recuperating from this years GTG. I almost dozed off at the table, as you know, but I hung in there. This old corpus can't handle three black russians like it used to ! But damn, I can't wait to try again.
Maybe some time around May next year, which is a gorgeous time to be in the city.

Comments on June 17/18, 2011 in Monroeville, Pa?
One of us suggests the third week of June. I worked that out to be June 17/18th.

Got no problem here, Craig. You want them to stay in Monroeville or take them into town for a sight & sound ? I like that latter idea, we can rent a corporate van that can haul like 15-20 people and do the dinner on Mt. Washington or something. Can you imagine Fred snapping away up there ?

Your ideas are golden, brother! Monroeville is vewy, vewy convenient to everything and has the Hampton, Red Roof, Marriott...whatever its called, and Doubletree right close by. Some will drive and we can most likely move 12 people in three vehicles, or... |

No problem, but your sterling reputation may be somewhat sullied by the association, what with me being such a miscreant 'n 'at !

...evidently you have the faith of your convictions, or is it the other way around, my deacon friend ?
