squonk 41,010 #26 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Skyping with Steve is an experience all in it's own. You should try it a few hours after waking up from surgery! Edited June 14, 2014 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,408 #27 Posted June 14, 2014 Another WOW, 2 New York bagels , 2 latte coffees 1 choc chip muffin $35.00 You will find that the food and coffee at the WHCC show is much more reasonable. That same $35.00 will feed you all weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,409 #32 Posted June 16, 2014 Well I have now arrived at Michael Martino's house, & what a wonderful family he has & he has made us feel so welcome and at home. Had a bit of a scary time in New York City yesterday morning . I woke up at 4 am as I am still in UK mode which is 6 hours ahead of US time. I went to get a coffee at the all nite Deli shop ,when it came out of the shop I heard lots of shouting outside an all nite drug store when all of a sudden this guy fell to the ground and was beaten & robbed by two other dudes. A little concerned I stood my distance until the police arrived , without going into too much detail, the guy that was attacked actually died twice and was resuscitated twice before being taken off to hospital , while alive at the time I later discover that the guy died from his head injuries. Now I didn't expect to get involved in a murder case when I visited New York Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,683 #33 Posted June 16, 2014 Holy Cow Neil...talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!! Hopefully you just witness some road rage after this. "Get on the right side of the road you pelican". From Crocodile Dundee. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marv 919 #39 Posted June 18, 2014 Neil, Welcome to the country. Sorry you had to be welcomed with the New York "thingy". Enjoy the show, you surely will not be disappointed. I had hopes of going this year too. Wanted to meet you. Marvin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,409 #40 Posted June 18, 2014 We set sail for the show today( weds) & hope to do some sightseeing along the way. We spent all day yesterday getting the Mikes trailer loaded and we also carried out mammoth taste of preparing all 200 of the special edition books. Let me tell you, the amount of work that goes into getting these books ready is just staggering , I don't how anyone could consider the price of the book to be too high ,if they new what work went into them. Mike Myself Mikes daughter Carolyn, my wife. Spent 6 hours solid preparing each book When the book preparation work was done ,it was time for some fun & get the trailer loaded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #43 Posted June 18, 2014 I doubt your trip south from New York State will take you through the middle of Central Pennsylvania and our mountains but you will most likely come down through the Poconos which is pretty country too. Sorry you saw first hand what most American cities have degraded into. I wish I would have had the time this year to get to the show but it isn't looking as though I'll make it. (Only a two hour trip from here). I would have liked to meet you, Neil. Stay safe and I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in the states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a morning. This, and your previous post are only a few reasons why the wife and I stay away from the big city. I know it can happen anywhere, but why increase the chance? See you soon. Packing the truck now for the 6:00 am departure tomorrow. [emoji796] Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,010 #47 Posted June 18, 2014 I know what you mean about cities. My wife had to wait by herself at a car rental place for my son in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago. It was terrifying to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
