I'm putting this out there to see if we can get quorum to make it happen:
Sunday, October 11th at my house in Rock Hall MD for an afternoon of fun and frolic.
Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

I just put this on my calendar. Unless we are under a lockdown again, I'll plan on being there.

Resurrecting this thread. Any interest? Possibly an Atlantic City meet-up? The Tropicana had nice rooms, a great gym, and obviously attractions from casinos to shopping to dining (and drinking/smoking for those so inclined) to the boardwalk (and running/walking for those so inclined). Plus it's a close enough drive for most of us... a little far for E and a lot far for G but everyone else is in range.
I am seeing weeknight rooms in November-December as low as $60 all-in (resort fees, taxes, parking, etc)... is weeknight even an option for anyone else but me? Does sometime work sooner or should we be looking at next year? Spouses or just a guy trip? Discuss.

I like the idea and think the location is good for everyone (except Graham :-) ) as it is easy to get there.
My vote is for next year maybe mid winter. I have 4 business trips and a vacation in the next 3 months. I am running low on PTO this year too.

Damn....lost my post. Gist was that I am definitely interested. I'll write more about availability later.

Yes. Let's do this. Sometime sooner than next November but maybe a bit more lead time than this November.

The balance of the year is not great for me regarding this, but what does the group think about an early 2024 meet up? Let's keep the momentum of this going folks; check your calendars and with enough lead time we can surely decide upon a mutually convenient date. Assuming we meet in P'dude's playground of Atlantic City, for anyone flying in and finds flights to the NY metro area convenient, you're welcome to stay at my house and drive with me to the meet up.

Thanks for all the input. Rates in AC are usually low through the end of March. I'll do some more research, but if we DO "Do AC" I'm going to recommend the Tropicana on the merits of their gym.

I would definitely be willing to do this. However, if I'm flying out to the east coast, it would have to be for more than one day. Any thoughts on making this a multiple day event?

Based upon P'dude's mention of the Trop in AC, I did a quick check and the prices mid week during the time period he mentioned are very low. Friday and Saturday nights are many multiples of the Sunday night through Thursday night rates. Upside of the latter is a significant cost savings, downside is more vacation days will be needed.
