Pre-Meet: Friday, April 21st.
Anyone coming in out of town or those that live in Philly is welcome to join me for a pre-meet at Sugar Moms in Old-City. There we can eat, drink, get stupid and generally have a good time. We're going to take a cab to the bar, parking is at a premium and once everyone checks in and parks at the garage, I don't want people moving cars because it'll cost money.

Also if weather is nice, I'm going to have a pre-gathering at my girl's apartment complex. There we can pre-game and booze up, and gather before going out en-masse :)

Cheese-Steak Meet: Saturday, April 22nd
We will be having the Cheese-Steak meet at Tony Luke's on E-Orgeon Ave. I want to meet up at 12:00pm. They have by far the best parking facilities for our large group of cars. For those that don't know, Tony Luke's makes one of Philly's best cheese-steaks.

After Tony Luke's we will cruise to the baseball field for some group Photo shots at Citizen's Bank Park (Home of the Phillies).

After the photoshoot, we will be taking a cruise to Lancaster county (1.5 hours into northern PA) There we can eat some kickass amish cooking on the cheap :yum:.Miller's has a huge parking lot overlooking a farm and we can have a mini-car meet there as we wait for our tables. Expect to pay around $25 per person + tip all you can eat including fresh dessert, it's a great experiance.

After Lancaster County, we will cruise back to Philadelphia and the meet will be over.

For those staying the night, after parking cars. We will break for 2 hours so you can shower up, change, take a dump etc. We will be partying at Ten-Stone in South Philly. It's a chill little tavern within walking distance of Club Quarters. There we can just chill, play bar pool, and relax, get drunk and ya'll can walk back without having to worry about parking.

After Meet: Sunday, April 23rd
After checking out of Club Quarters, pack your bags in your car in the parking garage under the mall. There we can all go head to Pete's Diner in Center City for a philly style greasy ass breakfast. For the girls, there is a place called the Marathon, which serves more a frou-frou fare. After eats, ya'll on your own and we'll see ya next year...or the L.I BBQ Meet :)



Hotel Info:
Best place to stay in Philly is "Club Quarters" in center city. It's right in the middle of Philly, cheap ($104/night) you split with someone it'll be even cheaper and it's not that skeevy 3.5 stars. It's within walking distance of me. Parking in Philly is at a premium. There is a mall right across the street from C-Quarters. There you can park in underground facilities, better safe then sorry.

*Cavet* Please do not leave expensive electronic equipment showing in your car. Hide everything and anything. Don't give someone a excuse to ruin your time. Also as we're representing Club3G, do not speed once you are in city limits. The roads are crappy and the cops are ruthless. I know some of you guys are itching to show off turbo/supercharger/2 bottles of nawz kits, but just wait till we hit the open country roads to Lancaster before hitting triple digits ;)

I might make it too. Its only 2 hours from here in Md. Ive never had an authentic philly cheese steak but heard that they are great! Which ones are the best? I heard the ones from Geno's are the best. As it gets closer to April, Ill know for sure if I can make it. Count me as "possible" now.
Get one of each, Pat's and Geno's is right next to each other.
