District Convention: Jersey City
August 24-26
brooklyn july 4th weekend what what! bk in the hizouse! And we found out yesterday, probably the earliest in the country top that!
uh dude i got you beat by over one month
the official announcment isn't supposed to be till the week of the first, check the km
I think it says "the service meeting" the week of the first.
That's also the most packed because a lot of people have off from work that friday; No parking, tight seating.
really? maybe you guys are actually with us this year. ya know, seeing as how we share the hall.
wow, i wonder if this means no more philly?!
I would be so happy just to hear the words "no more philly"
hmm i can't wait to find out where ours is
it better not be at Turnersville a.k.a. snorefest, that assembly hall is so boring! After going to Stanley Theater most of my life nothing else compares
I mean it's a nice assembly hall and perfect for its purpose but NOTHING compares to Stanley Theater!
stanley theater is NOTHING compared to newburgh
newburgh has seats like a brand new movie theater, with extra leg room
wow wow i must check it out. Yeah, leg room would be nice at the Stanley.
haha, maybe they should renovate ..
that was a JOKE, people.
Newburgh has the greatest seats ever.
newburgh is the most comfortable hands down, but as to beauty and artistic merit, nothing beats the stanley. not even all the granite in newburgh.
what's wrong with philly? i always liked philly, easy drive there, new clean facility, air conditioning, plus you're in a city with stuff to do after
I loathe Philadelphia. I'm not sure why. At first when I moved down here I kinda liked Philly but i just thought, eh, I like New York better. And I loved living close to NYC and just being able to go there any time. And I think I started to miss that more and more. And now, i have actual hate for philly. I don't really know why. Maybe it's all the reports of murders and "city in crisis" specials on the news. Maybe it's because the news people for Philadelphia are dumb and annoying. I really don't know why I hate it so much but I just do! If I never have to step foot in Philadelphia again, I'll be happy.
New York has structure to me, I know it pretty well, and I like the subway system even. Philadelphia annoys me. I don't know it, and I don't like it. haha.
is it rational? NO! Do I hate the ask the question and then answer it yourself kind of speaking? YES! Do I do it? YES. Why? I don't know.
hahaha... too funny
no it's true, philly is nothing compared to nyc, every thing closes early and is closed on sunday unlike nyc, it's impossible to find even a deli open sunday morning. plus the bums are so annoying in philly. but i do think it's a good place for a convention, plus there's always fresh prince of bel air reruns and at least 3 will smith movies on tv at any given time
hahaha true, true
yeah i think it's just because I love New York and I'm so far from it :(
well it's a good thing you're going to reading then, cuz ya know... reading... come on, serious metropolis right there
yeah. BUSTLING.
haha
Hahaha - I feel the same way. A couple from our hall keeps asking us to go to the Philly art museum with them, and I don't think I can because I miss the Met so much. There's just no place like New York. :(
my mom says there's some pretty great museums in philly though... i'd like to check em out
the Philadelphia museum of art is as good as the met. the Rodin exhibit they have is awesome...and they got those steps that rocky ran up in rocky 1.
my mom says that too. this one's her fave: http://www.collphyphil.org/mutter.asp I haven't been there yet.
I have been to the mutter museum, its actually a very interesting museum, if your into medical things and stuff... It was a studying museum for all those learning about the medical field and for surgeries and stuff, but now its outdated for that, so they just turned it into a straight medical museum...
I was just there yesterday. Cezanne to Picasso exhibit is almost over-you should try to make it there if you haven't yet. I especially liked the Americans in Paris exhibit. (Oh and on a sidenote: I saw Ethan Hawke there with his children. Hello hottie!!)
IMO cities, are nasty. Except LA was pretty cool.
First year since I've been alive my Cong. won't be assigned to a Convention in Philly. 'Twill be quite a change. We got the announcement of Jersey City tonight. It was a funny sight watching everybody turn to each other, like ... wha?? wow .. . hmmm wow
Mine is Jersey City, NJ -
May 25th - 27th.
My friend Steve is getting married that Friday evening - I'm in the wedding
That weekend is the Senior PGA Championship - I'm supposed to be there - (Kiwa Island, South Carolina)
Perhaps I can clone myself.
Mine is Jersey City, NJ -
May 25th - 27th.
My friends Kristi & Garrett are getting married that Saturday - I'm not in the wedding, but am invited to it.
I guess they thought they were good when the dates were choosen because who ever had an district convention that early? Oh well... I guess I will be visiting your convention Ian, Sat def... Sun, depends how the wedding goes...
Jersey City
August 17-19th
Yup. Same here.
Really? That's kind of odd..
Nah. The shuffling that's going on is HUGE. I can't wait to see all the old and new peoples.
ours is ALWAYS in the LBC (long beach convention center) just a matter of finding out what day.
Ours is in Reading, PA August 10-12
Reading, PA
where is that..
okay it kind of has a little bit of personality and looks, so that's good
if we're gonna have to spend a weekend in a city i've never seen before it better at least have something interesting to look at hahaha
that is FARRRR... i drove out there once, took like 3 hours
OMG i could not imagine having DC 3 hours away. ours is only 15 mins. away
I think Hackettstown - Reading is probably closer to 2 hours or less. It's only about 50 minutes from me.
Mine is in Reading July 6,7,8.
60 miles northwest of Philly. Strangely enough, the first year I don't get assigned to Philly and get assigned Jersey City instead, I might be moving to Philly, the first year there's no Philly Conventions and wind up going to Reading Convention. Ironic.
we're in Reading sometime in August. I've been away so I have to get the dates from someone tomorrow.
