An SVX meet will be held in Reading, PA (actually, Morgantown), on April 6-8, 2001. This will be the second annual. Last year, there were 23 cars. We'd like to exceed that number this year. Please show your intentions by posting your name and e-mail address below. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Morgantown, PA Holiday Inn, where we'll meet, the evening of the sixth (those who arrive) for an informal gathering, then (maybe) we'll have a road rally ending with dinner (things are slightly sketchy right now). John Hoffman (svxcess) has the info on the rooms (see below). Will post final plans when complete. I'd love to see you there! (I'll be driving from KY, so, don't tell me the drive's too long -- we'll also have members from MI). Please make plans to attend.

Is no one going? Randy, Jerry, Allthough i would like to make it it looks like i may only make one day. Being that finances are tight. Is there one day you would recommend i make over the others? Saturday? lemme know.

PAUL!

Yes, Saturday will actually be the day of the "meet." 6th and 8th will just be informal times for those who will be coming from long distances and stying overnight. I'll see you on the 7th.

C'MON! SIGN UP!

Hmm...
 

Since im on the list I guess i have to go now huh?
OK im in. I live in ohio and its a 7 hour drive. I want to hear no one complain about drive time. maybe i can get the Ohio guy who just popped back up in yahoo to caravan......... does he know about this site?

PAUL!

Yes, you're now "on the list." Be there! :) Seven hours, huh. Damn! I feel for ya bud. (It's gonna be about 14-16 hours for me, mohrds and cube). Shadowyng, I don't think, knows of this site, yet, unless he's caught up on posts. I met him in VT. Alanscouse is also from Ohio. Both he and Shado are in Cleveland. Of course, some of us are hoping to meet up around Ohio somewhere and convoy in, perhaps run interference for each other on the PA Turnpike -- I really DON'T look forward to driving that road again. It was the FIRST U.S. Interstate highway . . . and shows it!

Meanwhile --- WHO ELSE? HURRY! ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST!

Can't make it.
 

Sorry guys, but I can't make it. I had said earlier that it would be a possibilty, but I have a week long training class in Monterey the week before and I just can't leave for another weekend.

I can't wait for this 'training' class though. Monterey is such a beautiful place.

I'll be there
 

You can add me to the list. I am only planning to come up for the day on Saturday, although if the Great American Whiskey Taste-Off is scheduled for Saturday night, I may reconsider...

Dang it, rufus. I thought I'd already added your name (actually, I did, but on another list). See ya there!

TN vs. KY
 

Actually, rufus, unless rwj is going to run a load of bourbon to PA, the KY Bourbon vs. TN Sour Mash Taste-Off will occur at the E. TN meet - Friday evening to be exact. Blanton's vs. Jack Daniels Single Barrel.

Aredub - Ye takin' up moonshin', old son? Or ye watched too miny of them Thunder Road reruns? I jist may hav to call the revnooers :)

Whiskey
 

I hate to take sides on this issue, but I have tried the Jack Daniels product you are referring to, and I just don't think it can compete with a Booker's or Maker's Mark... it is good, but them Kentucky folk got some kind of elfin magic goin on with them there small batch bourbons...mmmmmmmm. Sorry I'm going to miss out on the tasting.

BOO YAH! <aredub does a chicken dance in the end zone>

Dancing chikkens
 

Now, don't have your chikkens dancing before they hatch.

Re: C'MON! SIGN UP!
 

I will be at an Easter egg hunt with my son and my brother and his kids in the afternoon on the 7th, but what will be the schedule of events during the day?

It'll probably be a repeat of last year. We simply met at around 10 and hung out to schmooze 'til around 11:30. We'll probably schmooze this time til noon. Then, we'll take a drive through the PA countryside, ending up at the Loraine (sp) steel mill for photo ops. After that, we'd drive into town for dinner (Last year, we met at TGI Friday's -- maybe someplace else this year, if anyone's got any suggestions (I'm slightly handicapped, since I'm in Kentucky). So, there you have it. I'm gonna try to get route info from last year, and maybe I can post it, and you can meet up along the way. Or, at least have dinner. We hung out in the parking lot for-ever that night. Nobody wanted to say goodbye. Also, there'll be several of us staying the night at the Holiday Inn -- so, there'll be several opportunities.
