Hi Folks;
I will not get to boil water with a bunch of friends at ECLSTS this year. One of our great nieces is getting married that same weekend. Family first! She has been a good student and civil engineer, and we want to support her on her special day.
Regards, David Meashey
Well, ECLSTS is a month away, so I just confirmed my hotel (Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley MD) reservation for March 13-14. No serious discount for us, but it’s the official hotel, so…
What caught my eye was a notice on the hotel’s web page that their atrium area is under reconstruction. So I called, and was informed that the construction will be underway until the end of March.
Since we were counting on that area for the Drag and Brag, that mega sucks. And we have to find an alternate location, even if it’s a couple of suites next to each other…
Is anyone else working this? If not, and if there’s still interest, I can call the manager this week to try to get a small party room or something.
If you’re attending, PLEASE COMMENT, one way or the other.
Thanks,
Cliff
Jane and I won’t be attending the show…
having to drive 83 home i won’t be staying that late Cliff

Yep …another year of evading the $20 cash you owe me!
Planning on it Cliff and thank you for the work you are putting into it as it’s appreciated and understood.
I probably won’t do the show, but should be there for whatever passes for the drag and brag…(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
My husband and I will be attending the show, but we don’t usually go to the Drag and Brag. I think that some other members of our train club (Tidewater BTO) do go to it.
My Wife has a DAR event very early Saturday morning, so we can’t stay over on Friday night. We will probably come in Thursday, stay over Thursday night, and head home after visiting the show on Friday.
Thanks for chiming in folks. I checked with them again, and their bar and breakfast areas will be up and running. So since the D&B attendance sounds to be relatively thin, I won’t push for a special room. We can just head for the bar…
You know, I’m almost tempted to suggest going back to the Wyndham next year, and just drive down early Sat AM to Timonium. The room is almost half the price, and the D&B would be a breeze. Probably a dumb idea, but WTH.
[edit] My mistake, the Wyndham was about $100, not the $65 I thought I remembered. So, the Embassy Suites isn’t a whole lot more expensive, $119 ECLSTS rate.
Check out Ramada Limited Cockeysville. It looks like about 3 miles North, with a meeting room starting at $52 a night.
Cliff, might be worth looking into or at least a phone call. Might be good for next year.

But no kraut dogs. Geez, how does that place even stay in business…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
The Cow Palace has a stand for burgers & dogs & such. Even a beer line, though they don’t open that for every show (the show sponsor has to request it, I was told a couple years ago).
[edit]
Jerry B. em’d me about this place, just across York road from the fairgrounds:
Per Jer: it’s tag line is “Chicken, Whiskey and Ice Cream,” something for everyone on LSC, haha!
