For so many, Allentown is a reunion The only thing I can’t recreate is what I do during the day on Saturday. My wife and I have been going to the East since the early 1990's. Met a lot of nice people over the years and really look forward too seeing them. Same thing with some of the people who have been working the souvie booths for years. As far as trying to recreate the experience. First,you need a 1/2 hour on a Stair Master to simulate the hill. Next you have to sit outside and have someone spray you with a garden hose . (That's been Friday night the past few years) Then you need to bring in some bugs. Last, but not least,if you need to go to the bathroom,you have to wait at the door for 15 minutes. When you finish,you have to have someone tell you the corps started,so you can't go back to your seat till they finish. Given all that,I really hope we're back in Allentown next year.

JimF-LowBari Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Yeah tv would be dedicated to Allentown while I do stuff around the house. Got a bigger internet ready tv so no more hooking laptop to tv using end table and hdmi cable and then turn laptop so I don’t see both images (distracting and if I close the laptop the tv goes blank).... looking forward to drum corps on bigger screen... sigh.....

JimF-LowBari Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Well someone doesn’t want me to be too lonely week before Labor Day weekend (aka DCA Weekend). Lived in the county for almost 40 years and just got my first ever summons for jury duty. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Me and Stephan would be at the OASIS on 11th street watching the acts. Really regret not getting my eyebrows done before Cornteen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last summons I thought I would be dismissed for my occupation as "teacher" but they kept me & I was nominated as foreman. My lawyer friends told me most defense attorneys don't want teachers because they're usually judgmental with prejudice. I told them "guilty" & they just laughed.

My sis in law is a teacher... no comment 😈. 😜 At least I can never be put on a murder or assault case as had an ancestor murdered right before I was born. Can determine guilt or innocence ok but if guilty 👎.(Still PO’ed because would have liked to meet him.) So if asked if I have any bias, oh hell yeah. Funny part is my sisters hubby got called two months back 2 counties over. We’re going to compare notes which county seat is more boring. Lebanon or Carlisle PA.... Irony is in between county seat is Harrisburg which has lot within walking distance of courthouse. And I live lot closer to Harrisburg than Carlisle 😖 Edited August 1, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
