It's a great open house, maybe get some other st'ers to split the trip? Likely too far for me though, another two hours from s jersey unless we could commandeer one of those commuter choppers that was flying over Clark's place yesterday

 

[NYEric]

Lifestyles of the rich and famous!

 

[tnyr5]

I was seriously considering it. I'm teetering about passing on this one. Will you two be driving off from the city?

I'm meeting Neil at the train Sat. Morning (Metro North Hudson Line - Beacon Station) and then I'll drive him back to the city Sat. Eve.

The second speaker will be Glen... Discussing repotting Paphs and Phrags, and addressing questions/concerns anyone might have.

 

[Marco]

I'm going to sit this one out. You folks enjoy.

I'll wait out for the one at silva in september when NWO is there. I will be driving and will be cutting through the city. I'll have 2-3 seats available if anyone wants to hop in while I'm driving through.

Ahh I know. I poured through Terry's list over and over again. The only thing I'm looking for now is the yubae. Nwo doesn't have any. There was one on eBay a couple of days ago but seller was from California and posted at 12 am I woke up at 430am EST and I was too late!

Plus I have to work this weekend. I would love to go though.
