Hey Mike, I an about half way between Cam and Karyn, and about 20 minutes from Gary, I am right in Historic Salem MA (the witch city) if you like 1600 architecture and witchcraft folklore I can show you around town. Maybe if we plan things right we can do a MINI MEET, you guys up for it? Karyn? Gary? Cam?

You know where I am, heck you've been here. I-80, take 38 South at Emlenton Exit 42, Get onto Route 68 to Route 8, 8 miles South of Butler and that's where I am. I promise not to be in my nightie and Parka. Funny enough, I am re-making the same sign I was painting the day you dropped in! We can go to Willee's and have the Sea Hag wait on us again. Rumor has it that Stevo may be in the house as well. Love....Jill

Hey Mike. If you decide to cut thru Ontario, and re-enter the US via Niagara Falls, we'd love to have you here. The digs arn't fancy, but we'll see you get tattooed, see a Fergus Devils hockey game, and sleep with a BullDog named Virgil.

Hey Mike, if you are going to NYC, you will be real close to me. I can be in the city in 15 to 20 minutes from here. The giants stadium and arena are only minutes away. I would really be honored to have you come to my shop. Just let me know about when you plan to be in the area and I'll be sure to be there. I do quite a bit of traveling myself. You can even sleep in my house. The address is: 15 Warren St., Little Ferry, NJ 201-641-9121

Hey Mike- I can give you an Adirondack Mtn Hike to Roaring Brook Falls if you want. North of NYC about 5 hours. I'd offer you the bunkhouse at my place but it has been converted to storage while I renovate the garage.
Posted by Rick Beisiegel (Member # 3723) on :
I can't believe you'd even consider missing Michigan in this road trip! Dennis & Pat Raap, Curtis Hammond, and me are within a 45 minute drive of each other. Maybe we can all do lunch?
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :

Posted by Jeff Spradling (Member # 1615) on :
Hey Mike…our local hockey team (Rockford Ice Hogs) has all away games for the next few weeks, but if you’re interested all next week there’s going to be some high school art students and a few local art teachers at my shop working on nine 4’x8’ murals. Details about the murals are in another post. I think they would be Honored to have a world renowned artist stop by.
Plus if ya like Mexican food we have a restaurant here with some of best authentic Mexican eatin’ you can find north of the boarder.
If your not into Mexican, there’s a Hooters about 15 minutes from my shop.
I think ya been here (Belvidere) before…it’s right off I-90.
Let me know if you’re interested.
Jeff
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
of course I'm interested Jeff...I will see if I can but I have change of plans.....I am going to CInncinati FIRST, then out to the April Fools and then Cams....I love the Ice Hogs Logo!!!
Thanks Jeff!

Hey Mike,
Looks like you're in for another adventure. If you do make it down to NYC don't leave the place without trying Gray's Papaya, it's a must do!
There's a Papaya King up on 86th and 3rd on the upper east side. Get the classic. Stogie shop is down on 5th Ave. somewhere near the GE building I think...can't miss it, the Today show's out back!
And say Hey to Cam for me...sorry I couldn't make it that far south on my recent trip East.
