Posted By: <b>Mark Evans</b><p>Joe--<br /><br />I look forward to meeting on Friday, either before the show at one of the nearby fast food joints (Chick-fil-A?), or during the show at the snack bar. I don't have strong feelings and defer to others. I would say, though, that if one plans on eating, the fast food joints I think are preferable to the snack bar, although this may be a case of "mincing hairs"(?). <br /><br />I have plans for Saturday night but look forward to seeing Larrie (and Cy) at the show.<br /><br />Mark

Posted By: <b>Joe Pelaez</b><p>What's the name of the nearby eatery you had in mind?<br />Maybe some of the dealers, and collectors might want to join us?<br /><br />I feel that there's a deeper collecting interest in this area than we think, and this is a good way to get to know each other. ... that also means that we'll have to check our guns in at the door. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Anyway you cut it, it's a win/win situation.<br /><br />Looking forward to game time.<br /><br />Joe<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Larrie Dean</b><p>Joe --- I will talk with other collectors and dealers. I particularly enjoy Rand Bailey, however, I think he is not coming. I'll check with others. Ken Cohen is a Board member who frequently is around on Saturday. All are welcome!<br /><br />As to the eating place...I am very flexible...either fast food or a more formal sit down place would be fine...I had no particular place in mind. Larrie

Posted By: <b>Alan</b><p>It was truly a pleasure meeting you guys (ie Joe & Mark) at a previous Chantilly show a while back. I WILL be at the show on FRIDAY when it opens at 2 pm. Also, I'm not sure right now where in the Chantilly area I will eat lunch Friday, but I will post the name & location (it could be on Route 7 or 50), so anyone can come to meet. Just look for the short puny looking slob.<br /><br />Alan

Posted By: <b>Joe Pelaez</b><p>Alan, and anyone else.<br />I'm grabbin a McChicken, and washin it down with a diet sometin at the Mcdonalds near the show at 1PM.<br />I'll be the one with shifty eyes, wearin a straw hat.<br /><br />Thank God for mental telepathy.<br />Cy I want to thank you for sending me your thoughts, and offering your assistance<br />Being that you will be at a table near the entrance.<br />I designate you as the Initial Greeter.<br />The greeters job is simple.<br />Smile, introduce yourself to those that don't know you, and jot down an outstanding descriptive something about each collector for the purpose of helping the collectors that might come later.<br />No mug shots of me please.<br />I don't want to destroy the eyeballs of those that need them to check out cards.<br /><br />Might not be a bad idea for the other tables to do that.<br />The collectors will be going around checking cards, and saying hello to the dealers.<br />It's a great chance and opportunity for Cy, Larrie, Huggins, Scott, Feagin, Don Otto and others to build a stonger connection with us poor indentured servants of the tobacco and e-card world.<br /><br />I strongly feel, that there's a deeper collecting base in our area than we know.<br />We wont know if we don't talk about it.<br /><br />Kenneth A. Cohen, where have you been?<br />For a second I thought you moved to NYC. (my favorite place of the world BTW.)<br />Believe me, when it comes to cards, this area is not chop liver, ... We can compete.<br />You and I, are gonna havta sit down and talk about da Jets and da Sharks. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />About the high sign?<br />No high sign, I'll be the one wearin da straw hat with shifty eyes, or is dat, shifty eyes wearin a straw hat?<br /><br />Looking forward to meeting you.<br /><br />Joe P.<br />

Posted By: <b>Joe Pelaez</b><p>It didn't stop Mark, Alan and myself from having a few good laughs while I fed my face a McChicken.<br />Alan wants you to think that he's puny, but he has a very disarming huge sense of humor.<br />We finally had to catch the two o'clock openning.<br />After getting in, I lost sight of the two critters.<br />Alan had the look of a super serious tracker & hunter, he had the look of whatever his collecting prey might be, it didn't have a chance.<br />After seeing Don Johnson, Larrie Dean, and Don Otto, I pitched camp at Cy's table for a while.<br />While there, I got to meet up with MacBruce, (memory of an eagle) Ken Cohen, (last man standing funny guy) a few others, and low and behold, Alan appears like the apparition of Hamlets ghost.<br />Other collectors appeared, some lurkers of 54, it was almost like we were hanging around a cracker barrel.<br />After awhile some of us went back to the hunt, and I really don't know whatever happened to Mark, he also had that serious look as we left McDonalds.<br />I can only speak for myself, I picked up a very reasonably priced card for my beater T206 set, it brings it down to nine.<br />Going back on Saturday to hunt some more, and have dinner with Ken Cohen, Larrie Dean and anyone else.<br />Joe P.
