Anyone else flying down from the North East tomorrow, might want to check the status of their flights ASAP. I just found out my flight has been cancelled

Just click your pink heels together and say .... "There is NO place like the Showplace".

Start driving now and you will actually get there early.

In all seriousness - check Southwest, they fly to RDU (Raleigh/Durham). Those guys WILL fly in anything. A few years ago, they left Tampa during tropical storms winds and then flew right through Hurricane Katrina before it plowed New Orleans. It was the most interesting (for lack of a better word) flight ever ....

Does that mean my piece of cheese cake will be there on Saturday?

Hi Billy,

I tried SouthWest Air and could not find any info. I will now be updated by email starting 3 hours before departure. looks like rain at Raleigh/Durham.

Jim, I do not drive. MEaning I have no driver's license.

Fortunately, RIch Schwarz is coming through and will be driving down, starting our trip in about 40 minutes. This is the SECOND major roadblock that has tried to ruin the show for a few people in the last 12 hours. Dave Boyle had all his VisualWeave CD's siezed when he came through Customs in LA last night. Rather than crying about it, he got himself together and went out and got plenty of copies burned for the show so they will be available for purchase at the NERBs booth.

Safe trip Billy,See ya there. I changed plans also to leave early and also take my jeep instead of the pick-up.Less room but will handle the weather a little better.

i live 25 miles from high point and we are currently under a winter weather advisory. there is a chance of something,but is supposed to be only rain after 6 am and temps near 50 degrees tomorrow. the schools here are already on a 2-hour delay due to the possible weather. we don't handle winter weather here in the south very well. i would bet there is no bread or milk to be found in the grocery store. safe travels to all

Billy,
"smack" on the forehead, should have RV'd !

Hoping to see you here,

Good Wrappin !

I am similar to John. Things maybe icey in the morning but I expect everything to melt by noon. I am in the moutaians about 3 hours west of High Point. Take your time and be careful. I expect everything will be OK afternoon. Talking 44 +F afternoon. It has been warm so I do not expect much ice on the roads after sunrise. Just hope the Radisson does not lose power!

Hi Billy,

Just watched the weather for tomorrow. Looks like I might not get off the ground in Long Island tomorrow AM. My bet is that the plane may not be able to land in Baltimore. Oh well. Rather be stuck at home than on the road.

My connecting flight from Philly to Greensboro has been cancelled. First leg is still a go. I am going to Philly, see what I can do from there.

David is here and has his stuff coming in from customs as well as a back up plan in effect. All is well, after all.

The bad weather will clear by mid morning tomorrow and temps will be in the 50's on Friday and Saturday.

................

Checking into a hotel in Virginia. Half way there.

Rich says hello.

Sean & Neil, good luck to both of you guys. I'll save you a piece of cake.

Hi Billy,

You da man!!!

Just tried to call Brad. No answer, so he is driving in from Montauk in the snow. Southwest snow lines says it is still on time both at Long Island and Baltimore so we are still a go!.

Neil

Seane??? I hope you you are still headed south.

Gee Tom, you didn't not have to go to all this trouble just for us. Ha!

Capt Neil Faulkner

The weather here is starting to warm, we should have nothing more than light rain the rest of the day and night.

Hopefully things will break loose for those waiting on airline flights.

Hi Gang,

Oh well, We almost got to the SHOW!

Seems Southwest can't find the snow ski's at Long Island Airport. They just cancelled our plane.

Have a great time! We will try again next year.

Capt Neil Faulkner

Bummer Capt. Neil, I know you were looking forward to it

Tony

Neil, sorry you won't make the show. Looking forward to meeting you after all the help you gave me on spiral wraps over the phone. Leaving Knoxville Fri noon trip should be wet but ok.- Show should be great-talk to you soon-Bill Ballou

Billy, since you haven't answered teh last 3 emails I sent you, and, since I've known you since you didn't know what threadwork was, ..it's time somebody busted YOUR chops...

you could always learn how to drive... LOL !!! & maybe become a cabbie in the big apple to help you support your rodbuilding addiction.. LOL !!!!


Have a good time my friend, & feel sorry for those of us who must WORK for a living, & not be able to spend hours upon hours of company time on the internet.. !! Nor be able to choose what weekend we have off for ' the big one'.
I'm glad I can say "I knew you When"..you've done well with sharing threadwork.... Thank You

someday, I'll join you & we'll raise the roof on that place.

Central Virginia is just above freezing at the moment, with very light rain, but the temperatures will be warming through the night. If you're in the northeast, though, you might want to consider Amtrak. Here's a link of trains departing Penn Station for Raleigh.
