2018 XSEast?

[newc4]

I'm with Marty on this. He's done some planning for WV. No one has stepped up for NJ and its getting late.

[MaximPhil]

I spoke with Janet at the Newton NJ Econo Lodge this morning. Here’s the deal.

I’ve a block of rooms reserved under XSEast 2018 for May 25-27. Ask for Janet, she’s on duty 0600-1400 Wed-Sun. 973-383-3922. Block will be held until Apr 24. Can cancel up to May 24.
15% tax added for all below
5 King Single non-smoke $69 $ 79.35
6 Double smoking $79 $ 90.85
5 Double non-smoking $79 $ 90.85
3 Queen double ns $79 $ 90.85
2 Queen double suite $99 $113.95
No more than 4 to a room; $10 for each extra person.
Can park in front of room.

Janet says another MC group of old fellas will probably be there, It’s their holiday ride too.

So, what do we want to call this rally?

Hi Marty,
I thought we had settled on the above location for basecamp. Randy had some routes and a rally name was being discussed.
Why did you think this is going nowhere?
7+ people have expressed their intention to attend.
Where would you like to take us?

Darrell asked me to chime in.

Since there appears to be no progress on this may I recommend a change of venue? Being from New Jersey I am thinking it would be difficult to have a rally similar to the style with which we are accustomed.

And sorry for posting so late, I have been tied up for most of the winter with issues.

Room reserved !!!

Just spoke with Janet at the motel, very nice lady.

This will be our, my wife Linda and I, first rally.

We've been trying to make the last two and had to cancel at the last minute

Just say NO to work

I'm leaving tomorrow for an 8-day cruise so I'll be offline for a bit. I've a concept for a t-shirt rattling around in my brain. Mebbe I'll sketch an idea or two while on the boat.

Hi Darrell,
Enjoy the boat ride. We'll wait to see your Tshirt ideas

Hi Mark,
Well definitely XSEast 2018. Have we ever established beyond a reasonable doubt when the First 1st Inaugural ( never before) XS East was?
Picture of T shirt or link to Original thread would be proof enough for me

My first was 1999 Toronto and I am fairly sure there had been one or more before that.

Phil

These are the first three that my research found.
1998 - Dinghams Ferry, PA Sept.
1999 - Toronto, Ont
2000 - Wellsboro, PA

[MaximPhil]

Yes, thanks Darrell! I'm looking forward to it. As for naming it, isn't this the 20th XSEast? If so, we would have to incorporate that into the name!

Just spoke w Janet at the Newton NJ Econolodge 973-383-3922. She'll get back to me today on room availability.

Hi Darrell,
From the Google satellite shot the front looks nice and open. There is a block at the back that appears to require riding across a rough parking area next door to access which would be a pain the butt.
My opinion.

I gave them a call. Plenty of rooms available at the moment. Even some smoking, there you go Mark. Est Cost $66-$80. I'll call Janet, the Groups arranger tomorrow morning to get some more info.

The lady describes the area rural. Morning/evening traffic.

Anyone have good intel on routes?

Darrell... it would help if you specified whom it was you called...Thanks
