cin4057 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yippeeee! I don't have to worry about parking.... I'm coming in on the train. At least this year I won't call for the hotel's van.True story... Last year I hopped off the train in Harrisburg, pulled out the cell, called the hotel and told them to send the van to pick me up. The woman on the other end asked, "Are you SURE you want the van?" I replied, "Of course. I have my luggage, my uniform, etc. I certainly can't walk it, and besides, I don't even know where you are." So she said, "Okay, someone will be right there." I step out the front door of the station, light up a cigarette, and ZZZZZZZIP - there's the van. "Well, that certainly was quick!" I jump in; she starts the van; we go about one block; and there's the hotel. Me?? Embarassed??? Naw...... Andy Hey! We all know what a hassle it is. Hauling all our drum corps gear, for an over niter, in one load.~ouch~ Even 1 block can be hard. Sometimes I embarrass myself, with all the stuff I pack. LOL I subscribe to the "be prepared philosophy". I've learned to whittle it down after 3 seasons. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 When it comes to the Harrisburg weekend, never trust a long-term forecast.For whatever reason, the weather that weekend is often a combination of cold, wind and/or rain. We've had a few years of nice weather, but several times.... not so nice. Fran it can be very Scranton-like. But i do remember many, many years of rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
