It'll be alot of fun. Provided that my house is in good enough shape, I'll open it up, for I should have two spare bedrooms finished by that time, and if Angie, Sarah, or Mokko is coming, well, you guys get the VIP treatment - exclusive access to a jacuzzi tub (not yet budgeted for, but hell, I ...[text shortened]... t hands of yours truly, complete with baby oil and rubber sheets, free Love Swing instruction...

it's pretty safe there. Clark Park can be really nice in the spring. I lived in various places in W.Philly for 8 years and loved it. the neighborhood gets a bad rap, which keeps the rent down, but I'd be willing to bet that the crime stats on W.Philly are probably similar to Center City or South Philly and probably better than N.Philly. it's a nice place to live...

now give me a reason to come back for a visit.

Time will tell on this one.

OK. Here' s the plan. First we narrow down the date to a range, and then we vote on a specific date. Nordlys would like us to wait 'til June, I think that's probably going to result in a lack of momentum, but it's a possibilty. I think it's unrealistic to think it could happen before the holidays, so let's have folks vote on one of three possible time ranges. Please only vote if you think there's a good chance that you will attend.

Option 1 - "Soon" - January/February timeframe (snow could be a mitigating factor)
Option 2 - "Spring" - March/April timeframe (weather should be better, but do you want to wait that long?)
Option 3 - "Later" - May/June timeframe (weather will be nice, but will you still be playing chess then?)

Let's see what the consensus is. By the way, when you vote, please note your location (where you'll be coming from), how long you think it will take to get to Philly, and how likely you think it will be that you can attend.

Have at it!

I vote for soon. If it is a success, we will probably have another one that everyone else can come to anyhow.

Cool man. I'm joining an American Legion post, looking for one now. I think, as a member of a post, I can get the hall for free or at very low cost. We bring in a widescreen TV, call a couple of strippers, get a goat...
I vote for spring

And yes you can use the hall for free as an Legion member. I played American Legion baseball and I was able to use the hall for my college graduation party for free. but maybe thats just because we won three championships in row 😛

I'm thinkin soon. Lately the weather has taken a warm turn, if we
can get it together in a week or so it might work out.
BTW, I have a big house about 70 miles north may be too far away,
don't know.
