Might I suggest the "Body Worlds" exhibit at the Franklin Institute? It's a little expensive, but how often to you get to see platicized bodies in unusual positions? And there are only three exhibits like it in the world (Philadelphia, Toronto, and now Houston). I haven't seen it yet myself, but my wife and I are going the day after the show.adjuster wrote: We're gonna stay around the Philly area on Sunday and try and find something "touristy" to do (Eastern State Penn., at the least).

Hey, so I was originally planning on arriving mid-Saturday afternoon, but I think I'm going to try to come Friday instead so I can get in on any group plans or anything that's going on. And so I don't get lost on the train and show up late.
So if anyone's looking for a dinner date or someone to hang out with, the lady and I would be much obliged. I mean, please don't make us spend the evening lying around the motel watching TV.

The exhibition in NYC is officially named "Bodies -- The Exhibition," and I have seen no mention of that Gunther von Hagen guy's name in any of the press about it. (He's apparently responsible for the "real" Body Worlds shows.)
Still, you see one museumful of unusually-posed plasticized human remains, you've seen 'em all.

Hello again everyone... sorry about the wicked late response. Our main PC exploded (LITERALLY exploded, with an audible bang, a very dead power supply and a fried mobo thanks to a power surge in our 80 year old house). I'm still waiting on a replacement mobo so I can do diagnostics to find out if my 1.5 Terabytes of pirated data is intact -- that computer held five years of the very best data the Intarweb had to offer, and I can't imagine what life would be like if it was all gone. *shudder*
It's because of this minor mishap that we missed out on competing on "The Stink" (which is a tragedy, because Deacon and I feel we would have cleaned house with our version of the song), and this is also the reason we've been unavailable.
So here is a late reply to all the relevant stuff we've missed replying on:
(Offer does not apply to candidates crippled, mentally retarded, or otherwise hideously disfigured in some way. Void where prohibited.)
I guess that about covers it. PM me with anything important. We're also going to need to know exactly how far we can push the envelope here, seeing as how it's a church, and that we tend to get... a little carried away with our props and outfits and whatnot when we're on stage.
Oh, one more thing-- What time slot do we have again?

Totally okay with that. The name's MMMC, by the way. It's sad that we won't have any promo material to remember the night by, but we'll be sure to take lots of pictures. Let us know if nobody's planned to bring drunk, eligible hotties to this event: we will personally lead the crusade across town at 5PM to collect every eligible piece of tail in a 20 mile radius, and then make them pay a $5 cover charge to you guys. Any artist who comes with us on our crusade is guaranteed to get laid or your money back.Bjam wrote:Okay, Crates, you didn't tell me what name you want on the poster, soooo no name. We're gonna print some off tomorrow and put them around town. It'll be fun.

We did a horrible jaerb of planning for this event, and we're willing to own up to it. Therefore, we will graciously provide compensation in the form of money, or hot sundry Pennsylvanian tail, or various narcotics to any kind artist that would let us sleep on their hotel room floor surreptitiously. We promise that the hotel staff will not find out. If they do, we promise to find a suitable place to dump their bodies.Niveous wrote:Anyone wanna split a hotel room?

Damn. Deacon had his heart set on a bunch of live trees on stage, complete with a fistful of fatties to throw at the audience while he blazed from a four foot glass piece. Guess he's gonna be cryin himself to sleep tonight.Bjam wrote:Not that far.

This is a super nice hotel that is used primarily for business folks so is busy Sunday through Thursday and quiet at the weekend. If you can afford this and grab this web rate you will be very happy with the facilities.Bjam wrote: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/PHLVF/main.wnt

Stuck longer in Ohio...
The place sounds great... but I just learned that I won't be able to _leave_ Ohio until noon on Friday-- so we won't be in the area 'til 10PM-ish on Friday... no Songfight dinner for us. Boo-hoo... Everything is on track for Saturday, though...Bjam wrote:For those of you around on Friday:
Have any lunch / get-together plans for Saturday been set up?
I'm still planning to drop the kit off at the venue at 3PM and help w/ setup unless I hear differently.

ok so we've finally finalised our plans.
leaving from the pittsburgh area noonish (or so) friday, and we'll be staying at a quality inn in reading (it's about an hour before wayne, but it was only $50 and we couldn't pass it up) friday night. so no friday dinner for us either. but we'll definitely be in town saturday morning, all ready for some brunch or coffee or whatever is happening.
