Polkfest at Antny's

[amulford]

I regret to announce that I cannot host a Polkfest this year. I apologize deeply, but it just isn't feasible to do for me. I will host one in the future.

I am having some personal issues, and they won't be resolved for some time. Again, I apologize.

Anthony

[george daniel]

Whatever it is,,I hope that things work out for the best for you and all invoved.

[Fireman32]

Sorry to her that Anthony. Hope everything works out ok for you. If you need anything let me know.

[TroyD]

Chin up, broham, things work out for the best.

BDT

[VR3]

Sorry to hear about this man...

Everything will come together for you, you are in my prayers.

[janmike]

All the best Anthony. Hope all works out and that is more important right now.

[hoosier21]

sorry your having issues, chin up and all that

[McLoki]

Hope things turn around for you. Face your issues and get them worked out - as always - if there is anything we can do, just ask.

Michael

[cfrizz]

Take care of business Anthony, and remember we are here to give you support if needed.

[MacLeod]

Exactly!

Take care of whatever you need to. Your bro's (and sis's) are just a PM away if you need us!

[tonyb]

Hope things work out for ya bro.
Us crazy s.o.b."s are here if needed!

[Ricardo]

First what's first; hope everything turns out ok for you.

[beardog03]

ya...what everybody else said..!!

You know where I stand...if ya need something just say the word..

[dorokusai]

I'm Polkfest'd out, so no big deal here, take it light.

[danger boy]

Anthony... as has already been said.. work on what needs to be taken care of.. us Polkies will always be here.
good luck man.

[F1nut]

Take the problem to the lake, the deep part.

[shack]

Sorry to hear it Athony. Hope the issues are worked out or at least come to an end.

As far a PF is concerned...all we need is a time and place to meet. It does not have to be a big deal. I just like seeing my friends. The other stuff is a bonus.

[disneyjoe7]

Not an issue Anthony, hope all is well on your end.

[hearingimpared]

Ant, I'm 40 minutes away Brother . . . you need help or just talk . . . here I am.

[Polk65]

Things usually happen for a reason so take care of your needs first. We're here for you now and after the issue gets sorted.

[ohskigod]

aint no thang Ant. take care of business.....its all good.

[reeltrouble1]

Ant, sorry to hear things did not work out. Let me know if there is anything I can help with, but as said take care of you and your girl.

Anthony called me a week or so ago, explained things and asked if I wanted to do the PFfor 07, I told him I would. I wanted to wait a bit to see if things might change on his end. Well, obviously this did not happen.

Anyway, I am up for it and offering the casa. Several members have seen the house and area and feel it would be a good spot. We have decent airport access with Southwest and the major carriers flying into Jacksonville Fl. about 50 miles south of Brunswick Ga. where I live, already have WAF. I am located just 3 miles off of 95 so its easy access from there and plenty of decent motels close by at rather reasonable rates.

Ted,

I'm ten minutes off 95 but in Delaware LOL. . . how long a drive do you think it is from here to there?

PS: Antny's coming over this afternoon. . . we are going to upgrade the 8 tweets on the 1.2TLs. Hopefully this will give him a little break from his woes.

[beardog03]

I haven`t been to Ga. since boot camp !


waaay back in the days..!!!!

I do remember they grow the girls right back there....they just talk funny !

SC was Ranger school....one of the most flower populated places one will ever see....very beautiful...

Great! If it is at Teds...I'm there!

[Fireman32]

Ted Lou and I were just talking about it and we can have polkfest up here as well if things fall through.

[reeltrouble1]

Great! If it is at Teds...I'm there!

I appreciate the support and offers to help and pm's guys.

Come early brother Shack, maybe I can get me a little Shack on the greens!!!! We have alot of nice courses some reasonable some extremely expensive.

Joe--I have made the drive in a day, I drive to central pa all the time which takes about 12 hours for reference. If you drove to Troy's think another couple hours down 95.

I am thinking the tradtional October dates which should make for very nice weather, not to hot and it never gets really cold here.

I would envision three different listening area's, with different type rigs, a fourth for cans plus the outside areas for the Isonic/outdoor speaks hang out area's.

[danger boy]

Ted, nice of you to step up and offer your place.

UGH, PF07 is moving farther away from me every year.. OK, guys I get the hint. :p

[beardog03]

We should rent a hall in the middle of the board, so all Polkies have to put in the same effort and cost to attend...


just a thought

Nice idea.. but alot of the halls don't allow alcohol.. and you know what some of us Polkies get like without booze:eek: :p

[beardog03]

I`m sure we could find something if we tried hard enough..!!


maybe an old barn or hanger somewhere...that has electricity , of course..!!

[hoosier21]

Great news Ted, we have a home to destroy. Let me know what I can do to help.

Russ

[RuSsMaN]

Thank God Ted, I was actually thinking about it.

[beardog03]

I think we should let Russman do it this year...yah that`s the ticket..!!!

[starchaser]

I've flown many a time into Jax. and headed North to the old shed.
Many airlines to choose from and rental car companies are a short walk away.

I'm looking forward to this PF and getting my groove on with some nice gear.

[dorokusai]

I think the best idea for this year is to let Victor(HALO) hold the reigns for the official Polkfest 2007. He's put forth alot of time and effort to organize the Chicago function and its turned out to look really cool.

It's about time this Polkfest idea shift focus to another region and this would be perfect. If you've never been to Chicago, you're losing out on so many levels.

I was supporting the Chicago gathering previously and will continue to turn all my efforts to make sure they have a great get together.

Viva Chicago!

You friggin' baby!!:)
It's only that windy downtown,the rest of the burbs are like anywhere USA.

LOL, I spent a lot of time downtown and in Grant Park I believe. The only other place I felt that kind of cold was is Flint MI, and LaCrosse WI. . . you feel that cold to your very core. Oh yeah I forgot Buffalo NY. . . eeekkkkk:eek:

[disneyjoe7]

Damn I thought we had this settled?

[Polk65]

Just testing you Steve. ;)

[dorokusai]

Damn I thought we had this settled?

The NJ Polkfest is defunct, let him handle his own business privately....respect?

How about we shift focus onto an actual event? ala Chicago?

[disneyjoe7]

NJ where did you get NJ? Ted lives in Georgia.

Sweet, another reason to go to the Golden Isles this year!! I've made the trip to Jekyll about 6 or so times and is about 7.5 hours from Athens so 6.5 from Chattanooga and 8.5 from Knoxville. Sound about right?

[TroyD]

I think we need to sort this out as Ted had volunteered to do it back at my place, has talked to Antny about it as well as quite a few more people.

I'm unaffected as I probably won't be in country this year so my opinion doesn't really count.

EDIT: I've waded through the ChiPF thread and, no offense to Halo and the gang as I know they are trying to pull together a cool event, I'm going to give the edge to Ted in terms of being better prepared/equipped for the job.

BDT

[ohskigod]

I'm cool with going to Ted's or Chicago. As Dave mentioned, my wife gave the OK for my pad if there is a desperate need to have it in NJ, hell, I've been mulling around a mini PA/Jersey/NY meet for a while anyway and need a serious excuse to get me off my arse and clean my basement.

what would be the logistics for PF at ted's, Airports etc? I got an aunt in the Atlanta area, but I know I cant be lucky enough for Ted to be around there right :D

Never been to Chicago, but my wife has and she loved it.

the PF is still a ways off though, but lets get the details hamerred out so we can plan early

[dorokusai]

Whatever, I'm not going either way, so have fun Polkies.

[Ricardo]

The "Chicagofest" is not actually in Chicago...at least not the one that is being planned. It's a couple hours south, in Bloomington IL.

[shack]

I'm going to Ted's...whether he has a PF or not...he just doesn't know it yet. ;) I need to get back down to Jekyll Island anyway.

[Fireman32]

Wherever PF is I will be there. I would love to see the group again and meet some new polkies.

[reeltrouble1]

Look guys, Anthony called me, asked me if I would do it and I said I would.

I feel it would be fun to have the guys over for a big bash, hear some music, and get to see some gear. All of the Polkfest's have been excellent, Russ, Troy and Mark have set a very high standard, I did not make the first one (PF) but have been to the last three of them and understand everything that goes into pulling one off and it is a lot of work. Even my wife attended the last one, so no problems in that area's. As stated by the members who have been here the house is a pretty good set up for the fest.

Access to Brunswick is easy, Brunswick is located on the coastline of Georgia about 50 miles north of the Jacksonville Airport and 60 miles south of Savannah Airport, these places are very easy to get in and out of. There is also a Jetport in Brunswick Ga, serviced from Atlanta (Delta) Jets land there several flights a day, this Airport is about 10 minutes from my home, as a smaller airport you are going to pay more though. Driving access is easy, the house is located about 5 minutes from exit 36B off of 95.

All of the major chains have hotels close by the house (5-10 minutes)everthing from motel 6 to marriot and in between, if your ritzy the Islands offer some upscale rooms, the overall rates are reasonable as this is Georgia. The area is a historic region, has a considerable "resort" trade with the barrier islands and unique shopping.

I have no problem with texas or chi-town, heck I am from Chicago, the city of Chicago, the Southside as a matter of fact. I would also say the Club is strong with so many willing to open their homes to folks.

As I said in the beginning, I just thought it would be good to have the fest here, share my home with old friends and get to know some new ones and have a big party.

[amulford]

I'm there, Big Daddy. Thank you for stepping up. I'd like to hit Chicago, but I won't be able to.

I'm sorry for the confusion, Everybody. I really am. But I got sh!t to deal with, pure and simple...

[TroyD]

Antny....don't sweat it man.

BDT

[F1nut]

No reason that both events shouldn't happen. I'll be at both.

[TroyD]

Now THERE is an idea.

BDT

[hearingimpared]

I've convinced my wife to attend the Southern version of Polk Fest with me. She is really into it plus we have this really great time share (not really a time share) that has a lot of luxury places in Georgia.

[RuSsMaN]

Sweet! So you've got room for me, and my gimp doro, if need be?

[shack]

Sweet! So you've got room for me, and my gimp doro, if need be?

Your gimp is talking like he's done with PFs...

[TroyD]

He's been saying that since the first one. Mark's a lifer.

BDT

[Ricardo]

If Mark doesn't go...who's gonna wear the assless chaps???????

[billbillw]

Edit: I moved my post to the Official PF Brunswick thread.

[danger boy]

If Mark doesn't go...who's gonna wear the assless chaps???????

you can volunteer to wear em.. they really should be handed down to the next person. :eek: :p :D
