1. AHEM!

[bigwillq]

2. I would like to attend

I still have to check my schedule but I'll do my best.

[SarahB]

3. I might be working.

I won't know for a week or two what my schedule will be then since I just started one job and was since offered a better one and between that and my impending divorce, I'm like this right now-> :crazy:

If I can at all make it if this is being held, I will.

[NightTrain]

4. Well, I certainly hope you can make it, Sarah!

But if you can't, there will be future opportunities to get together. :hi:

[jonnyblitz]

5. I will make an effort.

I am having vehicle issues at present that will hopefully be resolved by then. :hi:

[NightTrain]

7. If worse comes to worst, I might be able to offer you a ride.

I live in Coventry now, which is considerably closer to you than I used to be.

11. wow..thats cool!

i am pretty sure I can make it. I am sharing a vehicle and my sister until her truck is running again. there is plenty of time until the 5th for her to get it fixed but I am uncertain when she will get around to having it towed for repairs. I just cant commit 100% for sure today. I will know more as time draws near. thanks, Dean, for the offer!!! :)

That is if little old me is invited...:hi:

[NightTrain]

9. Have you posted anything about this in the Conn. State Forum

I've been looking for something like this in the Mass State Forum for a while now, but I haven't seen anything recently.

(P.S. if i come, can I borrow the Elvis costume ;) )

[NightTrain]

10. I sure have! In fact, that's where this disucssion began.

See my original posting above. It has a link to the thread in the CT Forum.

12. i'm going to do my best

But, my best isn't always good enough.

Kicking for Monday.

[LynzM]

13. Sounds good to us!

Extra-good on bringing the kiddo, make it even easier! Could you PM me with time and directions, when you have them?

Thanks for bringing this back up!

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. I will try to make it.

I grew up in CT (Torrington), and it would be nice to meet all of you. I'll see if I can clear my schedule for a visit. If you get a chance, PM me the details.

[Amaya]

15. Maybe

Sounds fun :)

[NewJeffCT]

16. kick for the Monday at work crowd

Hopefully, we can get a decent turnout.

17. does she have a hot tub?

[DODI]

18. Alas, there is no hot tub -- but we do have an old fashioned bathtub

we could put hot water into. I am sorry I have not gotten details to anyone about this event -- I really wasn't expecting a response!! I do have some general information and will post detail info by tomorrow.

We live in the south end of Hartford -- very easy to get to from I91. The house is a two family and sort of small - so everyone shower. There is canine family member, just so you know and we are - gasp -- smokers -- but that is restricted to the back porch and I will use lots of fa breeze prior to anyone's arrival. My non-smoking sister will give approval on home scent.

I will be happy to provide some food and drink, but need to look into details on that -- I am thinking appetizer type foods.

I still have to develop a time format -- I was thinking maybe 4:00? Let me know what you think.

Please PM if you plan on attending, once you are delivered final details and I will give you directions, etc.

Thanks!
