New Hope PA meetup??

[Nitefalle]

It's about that time again....for another meetup of NJ / PA / NY MysticWickers in New Hope, Pennsy. What do ya say?

[Kaylara]

If you do one at the end of June, Xentor and I will attend!

[GEBS]

mol and I will come :)

[wolf]

Depends on the date, but sounds like fun!

[Nitefalle]

Okay, I've got one vote for the end of June, and I put my vote in for a Sunday....any other time slot requests?

[GEBS]

A Sunday might change things for us. If it's certain to be at the end of June I think we'd be ok with it but if the kids are still in school Sunday will probably be an issue for us.

[Morr]

If you do one at the end of June, Xentor and I will attend!



*chokes*

YOU ARE COMING TO THE US?!

*dances around like crazy*

YAYAYAYAY!

We must meet!!!


As for New Hope, semi and I wont be able to attend, sorry.
We are busy with loads of stuff right now -- work, moving, pregnancy (I like to avoid trips in the car that are more than a half an hour long since I have to pee on an average of every 20 mins...) and just stuff!

Ya'll have fun though!

[Nitefalle]

I'm voting for Sundays b/c we have my step son on Saturday mornings and he has to be "returned" during the day on Saturday.

[GEBS]

Heh... that's similar to why I voted no for Sundays. I pick up my son from his dad on Sunday. If it's after the school year is over it won't be a problem for us though. We are flexible in the summertime. :)

[Xander67]

Sunday will work for me, especially if it is the end of June, I can most likely get that day off if once I know the specific date..

[Nitefalle]

:boing: BUMP BUMP BUMP....any other takers? I'll be bringing a friend.

[Xander67]

I'll be bringing a Big ass Strawberry Shortcake from mino's bakery!!

If we can get there early enough to park in that parking lot near the water we can have a lil tail gate picnic!

[Nitefalle]

Sweet - literally :hehehehe: So come on MysticWickers in the tri-state area.....who's with us?!?!? You know you want to meet us....you know you do. All the cool kids are doing it. :boing:

[Nitefalle]

BUMP

The weather...well, it sucks, but it WILL get better! Who wants to meet up on a nice sunny spring day?

[Brightshores]

I might be able to come, depending on the day (my schedule for late June is still pretty uncertain)... I love New Hope and have been there many times, but I haven't been here that long and don't actually know anyone here IRL though... would I be barging in?

[GEBS]

I can't imagine anyone thinking you'd be barging in. I don't know everyone offline either. This is the perfect way to get to know everyone! mol and I are barging in too. I've not met a lot of locals. :)

[Nitefalle]

The last time I went was two or three years ago, so I'm totally a barge-er. You'll be right at home :hahugh: But really, come on down and bring a friend or two. The more the merrier!

[Yvonne Belisle]

were in if we can get a ride

[banondraig]

were in if we can get a ride

how many of "we" are there?

[WitchJezebel]

The last time I went was two or three years ago, so I'm totally a barge-er. You'll be right at home :hahugh: But really, come on down and bring a friend or two. The more the merrier!


*nods* I remember you, you werent a 'barger-er' at all - I enjoyed meeting you. I remember we had a conversation about the Whole Foods market; I believe you were working there.

[Nitefalle]

:hahugh: That was me!!! Though I don't work there anymore (thank the gods!!!!)

[Yvonne Belisle]

There are seven of us all together. Two adults and five kids. We would need more than one person to do this and would have to divide up in various cars.

[Nitefalle]

:bumpsmili

[Kaylara]

I hope that you can come Yvonne! I'd love to see the new baby!

[Xander67]

Yvonne, I can help with transportation if I am able to get the day off...

I can fit 3 in the back and one in the front,

ok now comes the BIG MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.....

WHEN??? we need to pick a date so I can put my request in for that day off ASAP,

[Nitefalle]

YES, I agree!! When is good for everyone?? Like I said, Sundays are better for me, but I can swing a Saturday if that's the majority vote. Is June still best for everyone??

[LadyWinter]

I may attend...with a friend/sister....I am off to yahoo maps to see how far away new hope is....is that the town you have the meetup in?

Winter

[GEBS]

Yes, it is :)

http://www.newhopepa.com/

[Xander67]

I hope we can all meet up at newhope! :D heheh (lil humor there)

[banondraig]

do we have a date yet? although anything in the second half of june is probably no good for me, it would be nice to know . . .

[Nitefalle]

Nope, no date as of yet. Only three or four people have responded, and none with preferred dates. :whatmewor I guess no one wants to go that badly?

[banondraig]

i don't know -- this does look like the early stages of plans falling apart.

[Kaylara]

K, June 17th or 24th would be great, if we're agreed on doing it on a Sunday. Xentor and I will be around for three weeks, and I'd really love to be able to go to another meetup. So who's in? And for which day?

[Klucky]

I'll keep myself open for either one of those. ;) It'd be nice to see some old faces.

I'd love to do this again! We need an updated group photo. (Now where did I put that...?)

-Klucky

[Kaylara]

LMFAO! I can find it if you really want it... ;)

[Klucky]

I know it was posted on MW, but the search engine is giving me lip. (The results page keeps coming up blank.)

Nah, you don't have to find it if you don't want to. :)

Okay, let's make this official. Kaylara, Xentor, and I will be meeting at New Hope on Sunday, June 17th. Anybody is welcome to come. :D Sunday, June 24th will be our fallout date if many members can't attend on the 17th.

How's that sound?

-Klucky

[Klucky]

It's all coming back to me now...

Didn't I almost get hit by a car while taking that picture? :lol: I remember everybody yelling "Car! Car!" and I'm standing there thinking, "Yeah...right..."

-Klucky

[Nitefalle]

Hm, June 17th is Father's Day, so we may want to reschedule for the 24th. I know I'll be busy on Father's Day.

[Klucky]

Whoops. :lol:

Okay, the Great Klucky now demands that the date is officially Sunday, June 24th. :2G:

-Klucky

[Nitefalle]

Sweet, I'll mark it on me calendar. Now, what time-ish shall we meet, and where in New Hope?

[Klucky]

New Hope is on the border of PA and NJ, though I think it's technically considered to be in NJ. Other than that, I can't really help you on directions. :)

I think noon is always a good time to meet. Not too late, not too early. Those traveling a longer distance have time to meet...

Any objections out there?

-Klucky

[Kaylara]

*grins*

We can meet at the cannon again if you want? As for time, I'll have to check with my family because we're flying in the day before and I think that we'll have to ask one of them to drive us. :)

[Klucky]

That's the one! Though I'm positive there was still an entire, big group photo...

Maybe I'm nuts. :lol: Edit: Oh God...the group photo was right there in the thread. *rolls eyes* Yeah...it's official...

Cannon sounds perfect to me. It's the easiest to spot.

Actually, New Hope is technically in PA. However, this answer above is what I was looking for when I said "where in New Hope should we meet"?

[Klucky]

That figures. 50/50 chance and I'm wrong. :lol:

-Klucky

[Xander67]

I like the Idea of the Cannon, for tradition's sake and it is central...
is that parking lot still open? the one by the water...

AS Far as I know I am off on the 24th, but if not I will put in for it off..

I remember the look on the host's face at the restaraunt when we told him we needed tables for 30 LOL... He did not want his picture taken but agreed anyway, im sure it is around someplace..

[banondraig]

sweet! i can make it on the 24th!

what cannon?

[Klucky]

You'll know it when you see it. It's a cannon. :D

Oh, and it's more or less in the "middle" of New Hope, though the middle is debatable. :lol:

-Klucky

[banondraig]

so i drive up from virginia, and then wander around until i find this cannon thingie?

[Nitefalle]

Well banondraig, here's a picture of the darned thing - it says it's right in front of the Logan Inn:
http://www.bucksviews.com/towns/NewHope/cannon.htm

It's right on Main Street, so it should be pretty centrally located. It's very close to the water, if I recall ("the water" being the Delaware River).

[WitchJezebel]

I remember the look on the host's face at the restaraunt when we told him we needed tables for 30 LOL... He did not want his picture taken but agreed anyway, im sure it is around someplace..

I remember that - it was pretty funny because at first he didn't believe us. The kitchen was NOT prepared for us, for sure.

I'm going to try and make the 24th, I haven't been to New Hope in awhile and it would be nice to get together again.

[Klucky]

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Didn't half of us end up not getting our burgers? And those that did had to wait at least half an hour? :lol:

-Klucky

thanks. can anyone give general directions from the south? for some reason i have trouble with google maps lately, and don't even get me started on mapquest.

[banondraig]

-Klucky

wow. are they going to know we are coming this time?

[Klucky]

It may actually be a good idea for somebody to call a specific restaurant ahead of time. However, they might say, "No! Don't come!" :lol:

As for directions, I can't help you there. I once got lost going in a straight line...really...

-Klucky

[GEBS]

from Virginia? Which part?

[banondraig]

from Virginia? Which part?

DC area.

-Klucky

i'm sure most restaurants would be pleased to have a sizable uptick in their lunch sales. plus, if they can't handle us, isn't it better that we know that in advance?

[Klucky]

I'm not entirely postitive on that one. New Hope is a little nook of a town and like Xander said, the kitchens may not even be adequate for such a large group. Still, can't hurt to try. :) I haven't been there in a bit, myself. Maybe they've expanded.

I think we should all agree to not be as rowdy this time, though. :lol: No running around in circles and no trying to baptize one another.

ah, forewarned is forearmed. are we really expecting 30 people this time, as well?

at least not inside the restaurant. :deviltail

[Klucky]

Well, I guess that's the first step: figuring out who the heck is going. I think I'll go make a new thread for a head count.

Yeah, the restaurant doesn't provide an efficient body of water. But, as Kaylara almost found out, the Delaware River works quite nicely. :lol:

I think there are some pictures in the thread Kaylara reposted in here.

-Klucky

[Klucky]

Done and done! *points to own sig*

-Klucky

[Xander67]

I think if we give them enough advance notice there shouldnt be a problem.. I actually thought the logan inn was pretty decent... the atmosphere was nice and the food was good... I dont know of any other restaurants that would be able to accomidate us...

we may be asked to pay a deposit in advance scince it is on a sunday in june.. (im willing to chip in to help with this)

oh, and I also remember the Leather shop, and how Kaylara was trying on outfits and coming to the window to show us... and then there was Yvonne's kids trying to sneak in the store, lol that was funneh!

then there was the Peeps.... and Klucky nearly getting ran over (but that was not funny at all, we could have lost our beloved Klucky)

[Xander67]

[SageWoodWitch]

This really sucks, I wanna go so bad but I live in Mass so I'd have to stay over night, and I would really hate to do that drive alone...But I doubt I'd have the money and go figure I'll be in NJ the end of July, just my luck!

[Klucky]

go figure I'll be in NJ the end of July, just my luck!

That could be taken care of easily. :) When you know the specific dates you'll be in NJ, make a new thread to see if anybody's interested in another meet at the end of July. Personally, I can never get enough of these things so I'm always bound to go. :)

-Klucky

[Nitefalle]

Ya, SWW, where in Jersey are you's gonna be? Maybe we can work something out.

[Xander67]

I'm sure we can cook something up for a mini meet in July :)
where in jersey are ya gonna be??

[SageWoodWitch]

I'll be on the coast in Point Pleasent, I think thats like an hour from New Hope

[Xander67]

ohhh that is not far from me, I am down by Atlantic City,
Nitefalle is near where you are gonna be too I believe...
and Klucky... im sure we can figure something out.

[Klucky]

Unfortunately, that's a good two hours from me. :(

-Klucky

[Xander67]

Im sure Adam will have something going on at Sacred Circle for the end of july
and it is not far from Point Pleasant either...

[Jolixte]

Sheesh, everything is happening in Jersey! :lol: I'll be in NJ on the 25th actually..

[Xander67]

that is the day after new hope, cant you get here a day earlier??? and where are you gonna be on the 25th, that is a monday, lol Im supposed to be going to a party for one of the Borgata Babe's at Borgata (her birthday) that night ... Not sure if I am too keen on going because last year 2 Babes got into an argument and one of them wound up getting banned from the B-Bar for 3 months... lol

[Jolixte]

I'm flying up there with a friend, so I can't get there any earlier. I'll either be in Madison or Leonia.

[Kaylara]

Too bad! Why is everyone coming to NJ now??? Why couldn't you all have moved there and visited there like three years ago?

[Nitefalle]

I am not near Point Pleasant, really, but it's not *that* far of a drive. I think that it's more than an hour from New Hope, though. But I could be wrong because I'm still not completely positive were Point Pleasant is, really.

[Kaylara]

North of Toms River and Brick; South of Belmar, Sea Girt, Brielle and Manasquan; East of Howell, and Wall. Does that Help?

[CoolJ]

New Jersey scares me :P

[Klucky]

New Jersey scares me :P

Agreed. :D

Then again, they all migrated to PA. :fpatricks

-Klucky

[CheshireEyes]

Sheesh, everything is happening in Jersey! :lol: I'll be in NJ on the 25th actually..
