I plan on coming from Connecticut,

Where in Connecticut are you ?

I dunno Dan, what takes your fancy?

I hate going to NJ. I may have to break my personal rule of avoiding NJ at all costs to make the show.
The only thing worse than going to NJ is going to Long Island.

fitzy, what about the East End in the Summer...? :D Said with tongue firmly in cheek, but I lived in Montauk for 20 years, so I became a bit of an expert on that drive.
GO REDS!

The problem with Long Island (pronounced "lon-gisland" is that you have to drive to (and through) Long Island to get there.
Simon: I prefer bacon, scallops and garlic. And mushrooms. Maybe some spinach.

Given your predilection for Condor, your toppings choice for pizza will be "All of the Above". Yesterday at Morley's, I helped a new member Ulu a Condor Plug. He sacrificed a new MissMeer on it, and then proceeded to want to relieve himself - he wanted to unplug himself, as it were. I passed. Another newbie fell in love with it, not knowing any better, and so took it home.

PS - I'm coming only if you bring Anna.

I plan on attending as usual

 

[ravkesef]

I only got one response (from Derekflint) about driving from Connecticut or Westchester, NY. So again, if anybody wants to share a ride from these locations, that would be great. Otherwise I’ll just have to sit it out.

I missed the last few because of work but I am not missing this one.

I look forward to seeing all of you who are able to attend.

I am looking forward to this year's show.

I missed last year's due to medical issues.

Hopefully, I'll be good to go this year.

Best part is hitting JR Cigars for the "after party"......

Newark will always hold a fond memory for me. Years ago I was looking for some pictorial reference for Mars Attacks! while researching for possible location shooting. So I called the Newark Chamber of Commerce to inquire if they knew of some good photo reference books on Newark. The person at the other end of the call broke into hysterical laughter and dropped the phone.

At least they laughed. Today, nobody finds anything about Newark the least bit amusing.

As Sopranos fans, we loved our self guided tour of Newark. The Cathedral there is rather surprising. Huge, beautifully made and maintained. Worth a detour. It's not Notre Dame or Chartres or St. Pauls, but is quite impressive.

The show is next to a prison so politely decline "valet parking" at the entrance. The orange jump suit is one sign.

 

[crashthegrey]

I'll be there again. Just realized that I forgot to post here. Looking forward to many familiar faces.

Does anyone have an idea if the recent winter weather has affected or will affect the show?

I spent some happy years visiting my girlfriend on Long Island and making day trips to Manhattan, where she used to live in Greenwich Village. I never had to drive the LIE, but she did it with ease, new the access roads to evade traffice, and so on. Now my girlfriend is my wife and living in North Carolina. I like it that the Chicago Pipe Show is in Pheasant Run, out in the country, and the NY Pipe Show is in NJ. Affordable venues that provide room to spread out.

 

[crashthegrey]

The weather should not affect the show. Not an official reply, but I'm pretty confident.

The weather will have NO affect on the Show - it's a go and the roads will facilitate!
