Joe P.
OK,you don't need a big belly to come,but you may fit in better! Time for New England to represent the scene a bit! So I'm offering up my house for a get together,swap,and Joe Kid viewing

The date is May13th,a Sa****ay,a month from this week.I figured the weather is getting decent,and I don't want it too close for Rockford,but you may get some pieces for your latest builds! Events will be:
BBQ,provided by Butcher Boy Market,will be the best charred Mammal flesh you have EVER eaten!

Swap: I have a bunch of stuff I'll be putting out for trade/haggle,please bring misc. pieces with you,and orphans,someone may have the other one!

Impromptou Bike show, depending on how many bikes show up,maybe we can do a mini show,and pick some favorites.So make sure you bring your shiniest scthuff!

Fat guy ride: Well he have to scare the neighbors with a bunch of fat guys cruising the hood! Let's see if we can get the cops to show!

Joe Kid viewing: I have the DVD,haven't watched it yet,so this will be good.There won't be a bad seat in the house! I also plan on putting the DVD on in the garage on continuous loop,so as we get drunker,it will get even better!

OK,this is REALLY a family event,in a family neighborhood,so all are welcome,all generations,and I have a 2 year old daughter,and 5 month old son,so the house is fully equipped for babies!

ALL are welcome,anyone that can make it to 11 Rosedale Avenue,North Andover Ma,01845 can show up! Please pass this along to anyone of interest!
Joe P.
Why can't I say Sa****ay?
BumpyTrumpet
Yeah, what is with that?
Hal
dont know..kinda strange........
Joe P.
You in Hal? I set the date! Let's do this!
SantaAnaMassachusetts
Sounds lovely. I will be there.
Joe P.
Thanks AC! Even if it's just you and me,I have a few cool GT bits around for ya! Did Brett set you up with those cranks? I still have a few pair at the house that will be there.
Hal
Umm folks..thats Mothers day. I dont think I'm in.......
Bedlam Bikes
Hal - Mothers Day is always on Sunday.
This year it's May 14th - the day after Joe's party.

Speaking of which - I'm in... Any other freestyle collectors going?
pjbaz
Dang it...I'm never going to make one of these.

May is a disaster for me already, well, disaster is probably not the right word- I made some swaps at work ( I normally work weekends) to get May 19-21 off so I can go to a charity golf tournament at the college I went to...with college buddies...WITHOUT our women or children! Cigars, drinking and debauchery on tap I'm assured.

The weekend after that I have a wedding to attend, one of the college buddies from above, if his fiance still wants to marry him after the golf outing-LOL.

Sorry, but I feel like the biggest tool for always having a prior commitment.

Jamison
Hal
Well then, I stand corrected. I may be able to participate then. wooohoooo!
Brian P
bedlam.....
im gonna try and do it.... however im doing to rockville jam the following week, so it may to tough
Joe P.
Cmon Hal,i'm not THAT crazy to have it on Mom's Day! I'd be drawn and quartered! The date is tenative,if people respond and another date is better,i'm up for it,just didn't want it too close to the Rock! Kerry,Tom,Paul,where are you???Jeff, like I said,you can see where your brown suede seat ended up! I can bust out a few lawnmowers on my Jr. Flyer if you need some freestyle! If someone holds my beer....
Bedlam Bikes
BrianP = if you made it up here...WAY up here, that would be awesome!

Any other Jersey oldschoolers up for the trip?
SantaAnaMassachusetts
As for whether any "freestylers" will be there, one of my four bikes will be a brand new 1985 World Tour I am almost finished with.
Bedlam Bikes
Cool! I will bring at least 2 show bikes with me....possibly a third if I can fit it in my car.
