2020 Party in PA- planning thread

[funsoul]

*Due to the current and near-term outlook for COVID, this year's party is, sadly, cancelled. Hopefully we'll all be back together again next summer. HUGE thanks to all who have participated! Stay safe!*

Hey Folks!!! 

Happy (belated) 2020!! Hope everyone's well and having fun! Life's been great but super hectic on this side. Finally settling down, slowly starting to un-pack the hardware (we recently moved). Looking forward to doing some benching again!

Sooo....who's interested in coming to PA this summer?? It'll be the same drill as last year; Harrisburg venue, setup Thursday night, benching Friday - Sunday (room cleaned up and empty no later than 4-5pm), attendees will split all venue and ln2 costs. Have 3 weekends in mind so please take the poll. I'd like to have the weekend determined and a decent count of attendees by next weekend if possible so I can get a lock on the venue and ln2. I'll get venue and ln2 quotes next week so we know the numbers (of course, I'm hoping for the same prices as last year but we'll see). 

Already excited even though it's still 6 months away but want to give everyone as much advance time as possible.

Y'all rock...can't wait to see you.

Stefan,

 

hope you have been well. I’m probably in, but new house purchase may change that. 

[Bones]

I'd love to come back if I can, depending on finances at the time.

Long drive but worth it!

[yosarianilives]

Definitely interested in going, unless someone beats me to asking it off should be able to come.

[yosarianilives]

Assuming it will be self funded again this year?

[jiccman1965]

IM in as always, it's always a great time and I would like to thank Funsoul for setting it up.  Hay if need anything let me know.

[funsoul]

Awesome Keith! Thanks for posting this photo! Can't believe that was already 5 years ago. Talk about a motley crew hehe

[keeph8n]

@funsoul if I can make it, will be myself, girlfriend, and son in tow. 
 

with the purchase of a house, you know how that can throw off your planned trips

[funsoul]

Hiya Keep! Yep....know ALLLL about that stuff. Been there, done that, glad it's behind me hehe

[aerotracks]

I'm in!

That's a long trip 

[funsoul]

Awesome Moritz!! Was hoping you were in again

[rtsurfer]

In as always. Any weekend is fine.

[funsoul]

Awesome rt!!

[hotrod717]

Wouldn't miss it! I'm closer than ever, right down 83 in York. Looks promising to have so many interested, so soon. Aways a good time!

[funsoul]

Working on a new ln2 contact as our regular guy is no longer there. HotRod's investigating. If anyone has a good source in the Harrisburg PA area, please get in touch.

You got any update on the venue, I'll make a FB post of it if you want (and plz share some piccies, got a few from Yosarianlives, but they are only from his setup)

[keeph8n]

Sorry I only had pics from my setup as well Alby. 

@funsoul I'm probably going to still be coming, don't know how much I'll be benching but I can bring dewars if need be

[chispy]

@funsoul Stefan i might go to the meet up this year since prices on LN2 on the Island of Puerto Rico went sky high and i would like to meet you guys all. Looking forward to benching with you guys

Hey now, I had a pic of @Darthresin preparing a leftover chunk of calzone but I'm pretty sure Stefan uploaded some group pics to fb around that time

[chispy]

@ Stefan ( funsoul ) , i was looking forward to meet with you guys this year but i think the coronavirus is going to make that impossible  , we are in lockdown 24/7 here and no travel allowed until further notice.

[funsoul]

Hi Folks!

With COVID, we're in a holding pattern atm. We'll keep our eyes on the situation but we may have to put off this year's party. Too early to call it, though....keeping my fingers crossed (we're on lockdown, too Chispy....I'd love to finally meet you!).

Would like to finally meet you guys too. Most likely due to travel restrictions and lockdown everywhere in the world  , this year seems it won't be possible for me to attend  , but i'm really looking forward to next year.

Kind Regards: Angelo
