We would love to attend. You can put us down, but can't commit 100% as of today.

Dorothy and I LOVE people and know we would have a great time. We would want to arrive Thursday afternoon and depart Sunday. Like Jerry (Redwing57), we also want to go by Niagara Falls.

This will be our first major GFMPH gathering, so we're very excited to be able to attend.

Sonny - I don't know all the screen names associated with te real names but GFMPH facebook has a few posts from guys saying they plan to attend 2014 GFMPH Rochester, so you may want to check there to make sure list on this HW thread is complete.

I posted something there with link to this thread.

Boy the excitement and the list of folks coming is growing fast and that is really terrific.

As regards to the hotel accommodations, if you folks can just give me a day or so I will have the full details. In the past Worriedguy has been able to secure us a block of rooms and at a discounted rate. He and I talked today and he is going to try and nail it down tomorrow.

The hotel is not normally that busy in September and we should be able to get enough rooms for everyone. Our concern is that if you make your own reservations now without the group code, we may not be able to convert your rate. So please give me just a day or two.

Thanks for your patience. I have compiled all of the HW names onto a master email list and will be sending you all an email in the next day or two. I will make a post that the first email has gone out, so if you don't get it send me an email. I will add you to the list and copy you on all emails regarding GFMPH.

Holy moly it is just 72 days away. We sure can't wait to see you all.

Mr WW & I will definitely be there!

It's hard to believe that this will be our 4th GFMPH! I remember the slight apprehension we felt pulling up to Cajun Jeff's for the first one we attended. What in the world were we thinking to have had even an ounce of apprehension at all! I can honestly say that some our of best friends (turned family) are awesome people we met at GFMPH.

Great to see Startech, CMetal & Jess will be joining us again along with the newcomers!

See Ya In September....

We're booked already, at the Comfort Inn West (no addresses in the open posts, please - 142) again this year. Checking in on Wednesday and leaving Sunday Morning. We got the "senior" rate which comes to $399 for the 4 nights. If the group rate is a good bit less, then I'll check into canceling and re-booking.
Counting down the days!

(Took out the address, please not in open posts - 142)

I would like to say we are all in but at the moment we dont know if we will be on strike. The negotiations are going nowhere. Todd is hoping for the best.

Dianna and I will be there and staying in the Least Beast. Tell Jeff to save us a shady spot to set up. Looking forward to seeing all the guys and gals again after missing the last 2 events.

oh man. Can't wait. Any spot on the grounds for the 21 ft. LiBe (LIttle BEast)

I'm thinking 5 gallons of red sangria from the wine stash. Pump your own!

New friends and old friends.Good times.

Count me in. I missed the last 2 events due to surgery, recovery and beginning radiation treatments. I'll be looking for a place to stay thats close. I'm looking forward to it. Can't come soon enough for me.
