| I'll introduce you if we meet up at the show.
Anyone have a recommendation on a place to eat near the show? If i park in the LIRR lot where can we get to on foot? |

| Your best bet would be to take the club's trolley from the LIRR parking fields to the venue, which is located right in Huntington Village. Parking in the village is difficult and the trolley ride is less than 5 minutes. When you get there, there are several places to choose from to eat which are next to and within walking distance of the venue. Bars, Restaurants, etc. I'll be in that area either tomorrow or Monday and will take down a few names of the places. I'll post them here so you can look them up online. |

Location: Baltimore, MD | Hey George....
I've been "virtually" walking the block on Main street....and there look to be some serious good eats! Some good pub fare...a steakhouse....Mexican....asian fusion...
Oh yeah. I'm gonna eat well on this one! No hotel food this time around! Have to find a good breakfast place too...might as well make it worth my while, eh?
I owe you some good food fare, my friend... |

| I checked the Paramount web site and there is a bakery listed and the review said they had a good breakfast selection.
I'm looking forward to this show. |

| Here is a list of some restaurants, grills, and ale houses that are all within walking distance from the venue. Most are right next door, or less than a 5 minute walk away on the same block or the closest adjacent block. It seems like they have a place for every taste, as well as affordability. The grills and ale houses all have menus for lunch and dinner. The area is a big village area with lots of shopping and food, which explains the concern on parking. There are a few municipal parking lots around the Paramount, but they fill up very quickly. The same goes for street parking. If you are one that doesn't like the hassle of searching for a parking spot, and you don't like to walk for 20 minutes, the trolley will be available to transport patrons from the LIRR parking lot, which has more than enough space. The people that work in the area highly recommend it. You'll also meet your fellow SMF's on there. You can google the list of names for additional details. You may also want to make reservations if you select the larger restaurants. Yes, there is a bakery, as well as a yogurt shop, and the regular chinese and pizza places. I have my ticket and can't wait to eat and drink ......um I mean ROCK!!!!!!
Hope to meet some of you that night.

Location: Chicago | It wasn't looking good for a while but now it looks like I may be able to make it afterall. Which airport would be better for me to try to come into for this one? JFK or EWR? It will have to be one of those airports as I'm going to try and conveniently schedule a business trip. LOL! And then what would be my best course of action to get there from the airport? Any locals have any insight for me? Thanks in advance! |

LGA would work, too but by looking at the map, it looks like JFK might be my best option. But I'd appreciate any insight on how to get there from the airport. Thanks again! |

Location: Baltimore, MD | This is cut and pasted from an earlier poster:
The nearest Airport is Long Island MacArthur in Islip, and Southwest is the airline. When you land you can take a shuttle bus from the airport to the Long Island Rail Road Ronkonkoma station and take a train to Huntington via changing in Hicksville.. http://lirr42.mta.info/schedules.php once you get to Huntington train station theres a "trolly" that will take you right to the venue so check with the Paramont on that schedule.
Chris--Southwest flies out of Chicago.... it will be great to see you again, my friend. |

Thanks but I since I cover those airports, I need to fly into one of them. Plus Southwest is a pain for me to fly as they don't fly out of O'hare. Midway is a pain for me to get to. Looking forward to seeing you again. Let's try and catch up before the show for dinner. See you then!

Location: Baltimore, MD | hey Cyndi!
the truck is gassed up....the cats are on the auto-timer...and I'm getting ready to hit the road in about 9 hours (but who's counting?)
Having some back problems so it looks like I'll have to stop about every 30 min to 1 hr or so, so it will likely take me 6 or 7 hours but all that matters is that we're all there celebrating another Twisted Christmas!
see you soon my sick babies |

| Terry, Cyndi
Sorry i missed you last night, my drive and then meeting my group at the Huntington train station took much longer than i planned. We ate before the show and got in the middle of the Jac & Jill show.
I think i know where Terry was standing based on Dee's comments to the reporter in the front row 
Hope you both had a safe trip to and from the show. |
