Ready or not...Here we come, MB (and her gracious family)

Better let the town of Olean know we'll be back.

Really MB, if someone else steps up...jump on it. I love your hill, but will insist that you take it easy.

If I had the space...living in the city in my 2Family flat...(I'd have to kick out my tenants and all of the neighbors on the block) to offer the space you have.  

Anyone interested in a really great experience of a lifetime?  This is the event.

Anyone considering going to Pinkstock: I have air points I am using for my airline tickets but I was checking out the AAA website for prices and they are so much better than Expedia from many destinations. It you are a member of AAA you might want to check it out. I found some great prices into the Syracuse airport.

MB: Thanks so much for your generosity. I too have marked my calendar and will probably drive from OH.

Could you please post some specifics for those of us who are joining the second annual and are therefore unseasoned. Place: for starters.

What do we need to know/do/bring......

Anyone from OH want to carpool?
