I will be heading up on Friday, March 9th with two fellow pipe smoking friends from both of the pipe clubs I am in (Chesapeake Pipe Club & The Harford County Pipe Club). This is my 3rd Newark Show, but will be the first time I have ever come up on a Friday and stayed over into Saturday. Anyone else on here going to the show? I would love to meet up with folks that are staying over on Fri night for a smoke and a drink. Otherwise, for those going up on Saturday morning, I would love to meet up at the show and chat. Hoping to see many Brothers at the show! I remember there being a BoB photo op a few years ago, so perhaps we could carry that tradition on this year.

I made this thread a Sticky so it's easy to find at the top of the forum, for you Brothers hoping to attend.

Next Saturday!
Who's attending beside me & scottdmb ?

Don't forget to grab a lawn chair since there is no smoking in the venue, only outside!
Usually, after the show, there is a meet up at JR Cigars in Whippany, NJ. They have a great lounge with a bar and decent food. http://www.jrwhippany.com/index.cfm?page=lounge

If you see me or Scott, don't be shy! Come up and introduce yourselves. I'm pretty easy to find.....

Indeed! I am really looking forward to the trip this year, especially since I am staying over for the first time on Fri night. If anyone checks in this week to confirm that they are going, please make sure to mention whether or not you are heading up Fri evening. I will be looking forward to the socialization aspect of the show on Fri night almost as much as the actual show itself!!! All three of us from the Chesapeake Club that are heading up together will be each opening up a special tin for the occasion. One guy is opening some old Bengal Slices, my other buddy is opening up a 40 year old tin of Hal O' The Wynd, and I will be cracking a 20 year old tin of PCCA Virginian. To further entice you, I am a craft beer guy, so I will also be bringing up several vintage bottles of well aged beer to enjoy Fri night. If I think about it later this week, I will try to double check and see what hotel room we will be staying in, and will post it on here. We will definitely have an open door policy, and when we are not milling around hanging out in other people's rooms, you will be sure to find us in our room enjoying well aged tobaccos and vintage Belgian Ales&Imperial Stouts. Looking forward to this....it's almost like that week long build up of anticipation that leads up to Xmas!

Sean,
I shall be there as usual with a table of goods for all to view/purchase as I did at the Kaywoodie Gala in December.
Looking forward to the first pipe show of the year, for me anyway. Some lucky individuals have already attended the St. Louis show last month which I heard was well attended and a fun time. This will be the same I'm sure.

Looking forward to seeing you guys! I'll be there with a few buddies from the NY Club. We indeed plan on heading over to JR Cigar on Rt 10 in Whippany, NJ in the later part of the afternoon so if anyone can join us the more the merrier!

Safe travels all,

Lou

As always, Lou, it's a pleasure to share some pipe time with you. I shall have a table alongside Paul PB Bonacquisti and Bill Kaywoodie Feuerbach. I believe this show is going to be well attended; it's time for everyone to chase away the winter cabin fever at this time.
Andy

SWEET!

TWO DAYS!!!!! (and oh yeah, BUMP!)
