OPEN HOUSE - GET TOGETHER AT MY HOME

Hi Alex.  That sounds like fun.  Count us (my wife, Rebecca, and I) in and please let us know what we can bring.

 

- Mike 

Alex...this is going to be a wonderful event.  A chance to see a beautiful train layout and to meet you and Dina...two of the nicest folks anybody could ever hope to meet!

 

I encourage any Mid America 3-Railer members to take advantage of this opportunity as well as anybody else that is part of this forum. 

 

Alex and Dina...I want to thank both of you for all you do and for opening up your home to all of us..... Both of you are so generous and giving and are the best of the best!!

 

Thanks,

Alan

You just posted this and I thought I'd be the first to respond but Mike and Alan beat me to it!

 

My wife (Barbara) and I will be there.   The timing is perfect as we get back from a week at Hilton Head the day before.  I'll be able to show off my Irish tan (aka sunburn).

 

What are you going to do if 300 folks show up?

 

Looking forward to it.

Alex, Dotty and I will be there.  Count us in.

 

Marty

Alex,

 

Count Joanne and I in!

 

This will be like Graumann's Chinese Theater, with all of the celebrities we will get to meet!

 

Let me know what if anything we can bring!

Count my wife Cathy and myself in.

Would love to be there Alex, but we plans right now are that we will be on vacation with the family. Hopefully some other time. I would like to see your layout.

Alex:

 

We were excited when you first announced your open house when it was in the discussion stage. It will be our pleasure to join with you and your wife. We have had several conversations and it will be nice to finally meet the two of you and see your wonderful layout. I am also looking forward to seeing your workshop where so many projects on my layout were born.

Alex, my wife and I in as well.   You are very generous to host a bash like this, and I'm really looking forward to it.

 

I presume contact information will be forthcoming so we know where it is.

Alex

Me and Louise will be there only if you make the Moo Goo Gai Pan at 4 oclock

Alex, MaryAnn and I would be delighted to join you and Dina. Thank you.

What a wonderfully generous offer!  However,I won't be able to be there.

We'll eat and drink your share.

Hi Alex,

 

This is great!!!!!!!!!

 

How nice of the both of you to do this!!!!!!!  What should we bring??????????

 

After seeing your layout and handywork on the forum; I can't wait to see it in real life.  Its a YES from me Alex.

 

We're so looking forward to it,

Best,

Jan & Dave

Alex,

 

Thanks for the generous invite!! Can't wait to see your great layout and spending the afternoon with MA3R's and OGR members. And on a weekend that I don't have to work.   So my son Ian and myself will make the trip down from Maine either by car or Amtrak.  My wife Deanna may also come along?  It depends on if we can find a dog sitter for that weekend.  

 

Headcount = (2) maybe (3) 

 

Thanks again,

 

Mike, Ian and Deanna.

Alex,
Thank you for the invitation. I will be there.

Hi everyone,  Dina and I are so glad that you guys are going to attend this get together. It's going to be a great day, I will personally email each one of you with all the info needed.

 

Thanks very much, Alex & Dina

 

Sounds like a great time Alex, but I'm sorry to say that I can't make it that weekend. I do look forward to all the great pictures though.

Hi Alex, Kathy and I would love to see your great layout. Let us know what we can bring.

Thanks, Art

I wish I could make it Alex, it sounds like a great time!  Sure you don't want to change the date for the 2nd week of July!,,  just kidding.  

 

Hope everyone has a great time!

I thought you'd be there to pick up the boat!

Alex,

 

Regretfully, Judy and I will not be able to make it to your Open House as we already have a trip planned to Canfield, OH (Lionel's Open House) a couple of weeks later. We are over 600 miles from Canfield and over 1000 miles to your place, so it would be quite a bit of driving.

 

However, we are planning to visit you in October when we go to York, if you guys are avaliable.

 

I am sure your Open House will be great!

 

Alex

Hi everyone,

 

Just a reminder, I will send out a general email to all of you, with all the info you will need. We are going strong with approximately 40 guests so far. This is going to be awesome. Emails will be sent out soon

 

 

Thanks very much, Alex & Dina

I wish I could John.  I will be out to see Alex the 2nd week of July when we are at my inlaws in NJ.

 

If I would have known about the open house a few months ago I could have made plans to visit the in laws in August instead.  

Alex

 

    Count me in for one! What can I bring?

 

Ray Marion

Hope I can make it . It's is a bit far out for me ( Not the drive). If I'm not working I will be there. 

Thank You

You can't take the boat until we see it in person!

Alex,

My brother Chris(Mario) his wife Theresa, my wife Caroline and myself(luigi) will gladly be there!

Please let me know if you need any help setting up, coolers etc.

Uh oh Alex   The Mario brothers are a bad influence!!!  They make me drink too much

Alex:

 

Thank you for doing this. 

 

Please count me and one other forum-ite (2 bodies in total).

 

 

This is shaping up to be a real barn-burner!

Do you mean like this? Just kidding, although this would certainly put a good sear on the barbeque.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah this is going to a real good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ben you can drink all you want there's plenty of room to crash for the night .lol

 

LOOK OUT SOME MEN ARE GONNA DO SOME DRINKING LOL LOL

 

Can't promise anything, but there just might be a few surprise guests. Hmmmmm!!

Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

 

Alex & Dina

Ben just make sure you have a designated driver or drink the grape juice!!

 

Well, with the number that seem to be coming, we're going to have to search around to find the surprise guests!

 

And just to be clear, I don't want to see anything but the barbecue burning.

 

Alex,

What time does subway close?

with these guys, already getting dicey, I need to be sure to have

an escape route !!

I'm  working on this, !!

thanks

I'm bringing my wife, she's the designated driver.

Alex, Sue an I plan to come.

 

Doug

What time does the subway close, what time does the subway close!?!?!?!?!

 

This is New York City.  Everything runs 24 x 7!  

 

Escape is easy.  The SIRT runs right behind Alex's house.  You just need to bring a flag with you to wave them down.

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing the folks I haven't meet yet.  It's going to be a great time.
