Bob -- I am looking forward to it!

My earlier offer stands -- PM or email me if you want me to pick some things up to bring down. Don't be shy!

I am actually thinking of staying over the Saturday night now -- hopefully not to late to find accomodations.

Well guys so far here's the plan. My wife and I will do some shopping at home and some in Fort Erie on Friday. If anyone is planning on arriving Fri. we will be there.
Anthony if you want to pick up some things that's fine. Just let me know what you want to get so we don't duplicate it. I will square up with you at the cottage.
Is Tony Karol still planing on coming down with you? It would be nice if he is.

Hesh I am very anxious to meet you and Lacey as well as all the rest of the OLF guys. I am very happy to see you are bringing those 3 beauties. Walnut, Redwood and Lacey.

Queen Elizabeth cake, compliments from my Mom to this event! I'll try not to eat it all on the way to Bob's!

I look forward to get there on Friday Bob, we'll be calling you on your cell phone when we enter Fort Erie!

Can't wait to see everyone!

Serge do you have an idea on what time you will arrive?
I was thinking it would be nice if we all could get together for dinner on Fri. JJ will be there, Rich Altieri, you and Alain. Not sure when Hesh and Lacey or Lance and Theresa will be arriving. Maybe they will let us know.    Then we could go back to the cottage for a few pops.

Yeah Hesh, can't you folks come a bit sooner? Drive all night long like me and Alain! I think i heard cookies! HMMM HMMM HMMM!

Well I'll be bringing some very decent single malt, single cask, cask strength scotch...    Maybe a tooth brush as well... Oh, and a guitar or two!

Looking forward to be accompanied by your guitars while i play the mandolin and have my Mom's gitter get evaluated by my professional friends!

Hesh and Lacey, if not too late dear friends, please reserve for Friday night also, it will be a week end to remember for the rest of our lives, you'll be happy you did so!

Regards

Sergio

Hesh you could have spent all week with me.
Why don't you see if you could add Fri nite to your reservations. Where are you staying? I'm hoping everyone is staying over sat. nite. This way I don't have to worry about anyone driving sat. nite. Especially if we indulge in Alain's scotch.

JJ anytime is fine pal. I'll be waiting for you.

Hesh I was planning on a nice camp fire at nite so Serge can serenade us. Plus we have a garage that was converted to a kichen dining room with a bathroom so no time limits.    Bobc38921.4488078704

OK Hesh then Sat about 1:00 or so? We won't eat or drink a thing untill you get there.
Hesh if I didn't know that one guitar was walnut I would think it was cuban mahog. Looks great.Bobc38921.4628009259

Bob, me and Alain will be leaving here at around 5h00 am to avoid Toronto's early morning traffic so we should be there in the early afternoon hours, sorry for missing dinner with you guys but we'll all have supper for sure!

[QUOTE=Bobc] Plus we have a garage that was converted ...with a bathroom [/QUOTE]
Oh, man, Hesh is gonna look in there and wonder where all the tools went!

I wonder if Hesh and Lacey had trouble booking a room with a large enough couch?

Have fun, everyone, and remember, pictures!!!

Serge your leaving early Fri morning right? In the states or at least Buffalo dinner is in the evening and lunch at noon. I know we are a bit backward. So do you mean you will be in at or around suppertime?

Bob...Shall I go directly to your cottage or the hotel on Friday? I have GPS directions to both locations.

If anybody needs to contact me while I'm on the road and away from the computer you can reach me on my cell phone...(574) 265-4100. I'm driving from Indiana on Thursday and plan to stay at my sister's house in Erie on Thursday night. I'll leave for Buffalo on Friday morning.

JJ we will probably be at the cottage because you can't check in untill 11:00 AM. If it's after 11 when you arrive you could check in first and drop off your luggage.
