FINAL THREAD FOR CONVENTION

[refrtech]

OK all you nay sayers speak up now. WHO IS FOR SURE comming to town ? I am going to make the reservations for the Saturday night crab feast and I need to know how many will be there. I DO NOT want to hear "I might be there" , this thread is NOT for you. I want to know who has their reservations booked already and will be 100% !!! Thank you :)

[jacob perkins]

I will ask my Mommy...

[Diceman]

Got my reservations and plans 100% made, but as you all know, I am a single guy and the rate I'm going probably always will be, so you only have to put me down for 1.

However, if Y'all know a NICE single female my age, bring 'er on down! :D

[dhvac]

I could bring my daughter but she is high maintenance. Plus you must be a Patriots fan. But being from CT you probably already are.

Plus you'll have to get a different trade. Three HVAC techs in this family is enough. Unless you got a lot of dough$$$--Then, welcome Son.:D

[benncool]

The lovely Mrs. Benncool and I will be in attendance at this Baltimorean sortie of thermodynamic dignitaries.

[selfemployed]

For sure

Gearing up for the next newsletter, huh?

[RoBoTeq]

Lisa and I will be there. Where did you decide on the crab feast?

[refrtech]

LP STeamers is the best Baltimore bang for the buck. You agree ?

[refrtech]

Lets have a final head count by the end of this weekend and I will call them on Monday.

[RoBoTeq]

Good choice. I wasn't sure if we had decided on the traditional Bawlmer rowhome bar or not. So we will be carpooling around Key Highway, eh?

[Diceman]

Why, so you can sit on my lap or something?

[refrtech]

OK so up to this point there is 16 people who have commited . COME THE F ON !! I know there are more who have said they are comming , SPEAK UP NOW !! I will be calling and making reservations tomorrow so I do not want to hear any crying from anyone who has not responded to this !!! :)

:)

[otto]

MMMmmmmmmmmm pain pills.......
Sorry you can't be there, I'll drink a Crabcake smoothie for ya.

[selfemployed]

You will be missed man. Several people said they were comming in another convention thread. Should take a look at that too before making reservations. Just an idear.

[ct_hvac_tech]

I may attend the crab fest but be drinking coke instead LOL

Get your back fixed the week after, maybe we can fix it for ya at the convention, we are already doing a vasectomy, we could do the back op right after, before we wash up and still have blood all over us.

Wow!! A wedding,a vasectomy, a back operation and a crab fest all in one weekend??? Kinda crowding things ain't ya?:D

Spotts don't bring your clubs, I don't think there will be time for a torney this year either.

[refrtech]

Hey benny if you wanted to you could play some golf. There are about 5 public courses right in the city and 20 more withen a 30 minute drive.
I am shooting for a 2:00pm start for our crab feast it all depends on what I am able to work out before then. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you plan on comming to Baltimore PLEASE speak up if you haven't already.

[otto]

I won't make it. Just too long of a drive there and back. Maybe next year. Have fun everyone!!!!

[westsidemech]

Four of us coming. This was my wifes old stomping ground.
meaning i have heard stories about this area for the last 15 years. Looking forward to it.

Hey Joe, whaddaya know? Your from Kalamazoo? Thats wild, I always thought that was a made up town, like Whoville. Always my answer as a kid. "Where ya goin?" "Kalamazoo."

[muskie770]

So, what time does everyone plan on arriving on Friday? Miss Lynda's driving me in so need to figure out when to leave. I hope there's enough time for Robo to wash her
t-bird.

[spotts]

Damn Muskie, with that last sentence seeming to end short, I was getting excited....then I moved down to the "t-bird" :D

Uh ohhh...you may want to ask your wife for particulars, we don't want to have any awkward moments :D

[RoBoTeq]

We are over 20 strong so far.

I still think a moonlight cruise of the Inner Harbor on Friday night would be a great get-to-know one another event.

Moonlight Cruises

The Baltimore Skyline is the perfect background for our Moonlight Party Cruises. June through September. Don’t miss the boat, board at 11:00 pm and enjoy light Hors D’oeuvres, Cash Bar and lively dancing. Must be 21, ID required.
FRI. and SAT. 11:30 pm - 2 am $29.00


This is within walking distance of the hotel. I figure we could meet in the hotel lounge casually as we stroll into Baltimore and get settled in, head to the dock en masse at 10:30 and enjoy one of the nicest harbor cruises around.

The cruise passes noteworthy historical, commercial and environmental sites such as Fort McHenry (home of the Star Spangled Banner), the Dominoe Sugar factory with it's immense light billboard, the Chesapeake Bay etc.

What do you all think about this?

If this works, the itinerary for the weekend would be;

Friday general; straggle into the hotel to get settled in.
8:00 meet in the hotel lounge
10:30 head to dock for cruise
11:00 sign in for cruise
11:30-2:00am cruise
2:00 go the hell to bed, ya drunks!

Saturday general; tour the harbor activities via walking or water taxi with those of like interests.
4:30pm take water taxi to crab feast
5:00-8:00pm crab feast
After 8:00, bar hopping etc. Try to find way back to hotel.

Sunday: whatever you'd like to do before departing for home.

[RoBoTeq]

Here is a map of where the Water Taxi goes to;
http://www.thewatertaxi.com/mainmap.html

* Fort McHenry is great for history buffs http://www.nps.gov/fomc/
* The National Aquariam is a wonderfull facility for those interested in marine animals. http://www.aqua.org/
* The Science Center; http://www.mdsci.org/ I think, is more for children, but if you have never been to an IMAX theater, you really should take in a show there; http://www.mdsci.org/shows/imax.html The IMAX theater is in the Science Center. It looks like you could do a double feature of Titanica and Hubble at 2:55 just before taking the water taxi to the crab feast.
* Little Italy is great for small specialty shops and very authentic Italian restaurants. If you are still in town for lunch on Sunday, this is a great place to go.
* Just walking around the harbor, people watching, can be an all day entertainment. There are lots of places to eat and shop all around the harbor.

Hey Robin ,
After hours on the web and phone looking to keep the kids busy , I must THANK YOU for jumping in and picking up the slack :) .
I will be picking up my date for the weekend :) @ 9:00am from BWI. If anyone else is comming in let me know. If anyone needs a ride throughout the day from the airport let me know . I will be on vacation the week of the convention and will not have access to a computer so any planning needs to be done before then.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone and wish a few that can't make it , could as well. :( We will have a great time while visiting , I PROMISE :) !!!

[vmc1161]

Looks like I may be able to go, I'll know for sure shortly and let you know.

OK, so if you can make it, the count will stay the same because I will headed to Chicago :D

[ct_hvac_tech]

I am all for the cruise man, especially for that price! $29 is not bad and it's been a while since I've been out on a boat.

[RoBoTeq]

One of the two boats for this cruise is our of commision so I had better check to see if space will be available.

[spotts]

that boat sounds like a great time!

[Stamas]

Can we go to Bethesda and see the place thats on the front page of the Washington Post today? The place where the crane fell onto the shopping plaza setting on new a/c unit?
