Oh man. If there's room I'm tempted to make the 5 hour drive westward. Too bad I don't live in Rome anymore.
Rome would have been a much easier drive. You are welcome to come if you think you can make itQuote:

Should be a great time for all.Quote:

As long as I do not have to work I will be there.

and I look forward to meeting you all...
:beer1:
I am in Yonkers now. Where is this going to be exactly, as I would like to attend if its where I can get of of work. I also need an address to find out if I can come.
Shoot me a PM with the details as I would love to come if its possible.
Thanks
Two weeks, two hrs, 3 minutes and counting! Anyone else getting excited? We are! I just spoke to Lynn yesterday evening. Lynn and Don are definitely planning on joining us at the meet! :y Restoration and honing will be BIG!
There are a bunch of people planning on joining us from out of town and out of state so...........
We are extending the meet to Friday evening and Sunday morning!
Plan on a party after the meet Friday and Saturday!!
We are gong to Caswell Plating Friday morning after breakfast out so breakfast at 9 am. We made arraignments to be at Caswell Plating at 10:30 am. After Caswell lunch out and then preparing the shop for restorations. Show and tell to follow or what ever everyone wants to do next. Dinner to follow but we will need a head count. CarrieM will cook for a large group but if it gets too large we will be chipping in and getting take out. Party to follow.
Our house is open to everyone who would like to spend the night(s) here. In fact we would prefer it over drinking and driving and we will not let you drive drunk. You will not be putting us out, believe me. Due to the possible number of people we may not have beds for everyone so if you don't mind sleeping where ever, we don't. Bring a pillow and blanket to be safe! Also, BYOB.
We have found in past meets that time flies so with the expected group, show and tell, restorations, honing and everything else strait shaving extending the meet will be GREAT!!
Please RSVP with your arrival date and estimated arrival time so we can plan ahead.
We are so looking forward to meeting all of you, our house guests, this event and the parties after!
I've been excited!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it for the Caswell Adventure, but I'm planning on coming up on Friday and I'll be there as long as I'm welcome.
Again, thanks for hosting and doing all the host-type work for our benifit.
For people that are coming out of town on Friday or Sat and may want a motel/hotel room to stay at.
If you can let me know ASAP I will work on getting a group rate at one of the local places. I will need to know by end of this week please. For those who may be willing to room with someone to help cut costs. let me know that too so we can partner you up with someone if you don't already have someone to room with
Thanks!!
I may be one of those people...if someone is willing to share a room with a DE shaver...:)Quote:

Thanks,

Ok, I did some calling around and the best rates I can get are at the Twin Rock Hotel in Ontario, about 10-15 min from us. $45 per night for a single double bed room, $55 per night for a two double bed room. Everyone else is considerably higher. If you want to reserve a room the phone number is 315-524-6411
Here is the link to the site TwinRock Motel, Ontario New York 14519
batmang is planning on needing a room for at least Friday night
quiknicker is going to be needing a room for Sat night.
If anyone wants to share of room for either of these nights please work with each other to sort things out.
Thanks
CarrieM and Joed

Hi guys, I really need to learn the whole 9 yards as far as honing and stropping, at least honing 101 so I can maintain my razors.
IIRC, Gugi is in the Ithaca area...Quote:

Well, everything is as ready as it is going to get! House is in order and spare beds are prepared! Even the dogs are getting excited!
Let's PARTY! :beer1:
For those if you traveling from out if town I am posting a link to the local weather forecast. Rochester Weather - 13WHAM Weather Authority - 13WHAM.com - Rochester News, Weather, and Sports
I think I'll bring along some hone flavored scotch - The Dalmore. You've heard of the Dalmore yellow and the Dalmore blue; I shall bring The Dalmore amber! Also, I'm planning on bringing along pipe tobacco in case anyone else has a pipe to bring. Oh, and I'll bring hones and razors too...
I think I remember reading some time back that Lynn has a St Dupont lighter. I'm quite curious to see one in person. So Lynn, if you're reading this, or if anyone else attending has one, I'd love it if you'd bring it along. I'll be toting one or maybe two of my vintage Colibri's.
Awww... I wish I could make it. I live in Hemlock and work in Rochester. Unfortunately my band is playing a gig in Batavia that day, and I'll be tied up all day with travel, sound check, etc. Maybe next time. :boohoo:
So I snagged one of my family cars for the day so I'm definitely all good to go. Unfortunately my prize razor won't be back in time to show off.....

But I'll survive. I guess if people are partying Friday they'll be sleeping Saturday morning right? So what time should I arrive in order to not wake up some very grumpy people?
Sorry you can't join us for this meet. We should be having others in the spring and some time in August next year.Quote:
