"Omigawd...the strange man is having another party."
I guess it's time to start getting the info out for this summer's #1 Egg-citing chat event. *BS* Last year's party was a relative success, but not without a few glitches. Hopefully this time around we'll be able to avoid those minor foul-ups and everything will run smoother than my freshly-shaved-to-show-my-tan legs. *L*
The party is an open invitation to be my guest for the weekend affair and you are welcome to arrive when you like and stay until you have to go home. If you are driving here and have lawn chairs it would be nice if you can bring some with you as I don't have enough for everyone.
Bookmark this page and check it often for updates. Some of the changes may appear subtle as we'll be following last year's format to a large extent.
So far Friday evening looks like snacks, music, chat and trying to disturb my neighbors at my house. People arriving Friday will be coming in at different times and I'm sure some will want to settle into their room for a bit after traveling. It will definitely be designed to be a relaxing evening. I encourage people to bring musical instruments and your favorite lawn chair, if possible.
Saturday will be the busy day.......*VBG* We'll be going back to the SirWarped Memorial Entertainment Complex (PPG Park).
Of course we'll picnic Saturday afternoon with games and plenty to eat and drink. Saturday night will feature a DJ and several door prizes for those in attendance.
The cost for the weekend events is nothing. I've re-thought this and have decided that this is a major vacation for me......a chance to meet many people for the first time and to see old friends again. Hell, the party will be less than a couple road-trips and I'll have the benefit of meeting so many more than I could on two trips. Besides, everyone attending will already have travel and lodging expenses. This just feels right to me. *BS*
About a week before the party I will email my phone number and the phone number to the park where the party will be held Saturday for those of you who wish to leave a contact number behind for whatever reason. Also, I'll have a map for each of you to navigate this bustling metropolis *rme* after you arrive. *BS*
~Accomodations~
There is plenty of availability
within 5-10 minutes of my house. I wish that I could put everyone up while
they are here but the house is just 3 bedrooms. First dibs on staying here
will go to those who have graciously opened their homes to me when I've
visited them.
~Location~
Most of you know I live in
Hannibal, Ohio. Good luck finding it on a map. *L*
Click here for directions from Pittsburgh Airport with Exit pics. A quick note here.........Exit 7 to I-70 West has been changed to Exit 38....seems PA has changed the numbers.
~How do you sign up?~
That's simple enough....email
me and let me know you want to come. *G*
~Who's gonna be there?~
As people sign up I'll add
the names to this page so everyone can see if someone they want to get
to know better will be here.

I hope you can make it this
summer. It should be a great time to celebrate friendships we've all made
online.
Just like the ChatHouse, where most of us chat, this is a party for adults. I think the world of kids but I also feel a responsibility to them. *S*
Sunday will no doubt have some people leaving but there is a golf course nearby and may be fun that morning. Last year those remaining hung out around the house and that's cool again. Weather permitting, we might do some fishing, too. *G*
Immediate area map...some kid drew it, I think. *L*
There are spots located along the Ohio River for camping.
Here's
the link with rates and such for the local motels.
For quick reference, it's
about 90 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. along the Ohio River.
Here's
the link with directions from different locations and car rental info.
