Oh man! How I want to go! Especially now that you might be going Jesse! :makeout:
My oldest daughter graduates that same weekend with her Doctor of Pharmacy. This will be the first college graduation for any of my kids.
I don't think she would appreciate me missing it after she has been working toward this for the last seven years.
I am so bummed to have to miss it! :mope:
If it wasn't for the graduation, I'd be there!
Maybe you could just send meds that way. Don't they have some kind of new "pain in the @$$" pills. I'm sure they would be appreciated by some.....A big congrats to your daughter and a bigger congrats to her parents. She's a very lucky girl to have parents who care!......
Ditto what @Ciro said. We will get there right when it opens, so whenever you can get there, we'll be ready!
Oh, and the status of me with or without pants will be something that you can think about on your drive over that morning. What will I be wearing? No one knows!
I booked a double queen room incase anyone needs a place to stay.
Has anyone flown into Allentown instead of Philly? It's like an extra $15 bucks but it looks like a much shorter drive.
I'd do what ever to stay out of Philly

Looks like I'll make it to Hamburg around 1 pm on Friday. Anyone who wants a room (i.e. @WNYTONY who better show up), just PM me. Now I'm pumped up for it!
Hey, I'm not just a piece of meat ! And I think Kris already called dibs on you
I'm looking at it and trying to make it happen.
If I'm able I'd drive down Friday and leave Sunday. 4.5 hour drive so I would probably get there sometime Friday afternoon depending on work and getting out of town.
Sadly, traveling the East Coast is not an option for me right now.
Isn't there a big cigar fest in Las Vegas?
That might be better than "I'm going to watch a guy with no pants on smoke a huge Gurkha" !
I did mention to my boss today that I wanted to take off early that Friday and I didn't get a no so it's looking better.
Mentioned it to the wife and she did not say no so that's as good as a yes in my book ! Actually I threw @Nature under the bus and mentioned how he couldn't go because of the great achievement of his daughter. She got so caught up in calling him a good dad that she forgot the part where I said I was planning on going lol. Thanks for taking one for the team Mark - you awesome dad :thumb:
Just gotta check the master grandkid schedule for anything that Mark would go to and hopefully there's nothing out there
Where is this event? what is it all about? Sounds like a Cigar box full of fun!
Please excuse me for my ignorant nature..

Jay the Cigar Bum Orgy is held in Hamburg, PA in conjunction with Cigars International's CIGARfest. If you look at my original post on the first page you'll see a link to pictures from last year. Essentially a bunch of bums Orgying it up and smoking cigars, having some drinks, shooting the bull, sometimes with pants on, sometimes without. It was a blast last year and I can't wait for this years to come! If you can swing few days traveling to the east coast it will be worth it!
Doesn't Steve @greige matter live in PA? Can you join us? It sounds like we will have a pretty good sized group.
Hopefully I can do this next year, always wanted to go to cigar fest. Looks like an absolute blast
Gonna be some weekend!
Again, I'll offer a ride for anyone arrving in Philly who needs a lift to Hamburg
Not sure if I'm going back and forth, or crashing somewhere nearby or what - but anyone who needs an option can tag along with whatever I end upd oing
As for the Airport in Allentown (You mean Lehigh Valley?), it's small and really easy to navigate. It's also closer to Hamburg. Definitely an idea to consider - particularly when thinking about traffic and the time you're arriving/traveling away from that airport. You gotta take 76 and that's the FIRST thing to jam up each and every day - all day.
Keep the light on! I'll find ya. Im traveling 3000 miles, I want dibs on the top bunk! 😂
I see the Microtel still has rooms with two queen beds for those nights at $100 a night.
I saw only 1 single room left no refundable

Now they have one less, I booked a room. Arriving on Thursday, departing on Sunday damn you Dogrockets!
Ive never been on the East coast, any suggestions for booking flights. Ive shopped a little but theyre all over $500 round trip, with alot of add ons if you want good connections or to be comfortable.
My only advice is F*ck Atlanta. Of course I have a short layover in Atlanta but I always have a problem when I go through Hartsfield-Jackson. All I am packing is a carry on so the bastiges don't lose any luggage and I don't have to worry about it as I run from gate to gate. My shortest layover is 50 minutes and it should be ok, but it makes me nervous. Did I already say F Atlanta? F Atlanta.
