Thank you to Steve and Laura for the offers.  I am declining only because I will be there for two nights.  Also, thanks to all who offered advice, especially Oscar.  I now have my room at the nearby Super 8 locked down for Friday and Saturday nights. 

To quote an old Hollywood classic, "Meet me in St. Louis".

No worries! The room is still open for anyone else.

I will take you up on the offer, but I get to sleep in Mike's bed with him.  Does he enjoy spooning? 

Actually, I think you'd get the empty bed.  I have a feeling that Mike and Laura might want to be together.  They are married, you know.

Best keep your "Send Help" signs at home for this meet. They're not being made anymore, and one attendee has stated that he plans to confiscate and destroy any signs that are displayed at the meet.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I can indeed verify that that the Send Help signs aren't being made anymore.  I only have my own personal Selp Help sign / Adirondack Northway map, so I can't even produce Send Help signs for others.  I doubt I will bring my Send Help sign to the St. Louis meet, on purpose rather than accidentally forgetting it at home.  I am flying to the meet in St. Louis, and as a result, will bring only what I need to bring with me.

Aside of the fact that mine is sitting on my dorm room window at the moment, I have to ask why. You don't have to like the signs. You can ask people don't display it in the group photo. (I listened to that request, and was happy to keep mine folded in Burlington.) Threatening to destroy them is a bit insane.

In Burlington, I think we wound up taking a group picture with the Send Help sign, along the the group picture without the Send Help sign.  I thought that was a reasonable compromise, and in hindsight, maybe better that way.

Yes we did, and if you look in the sign-less photo, the sign is folded up under my right arm. So, the question I have is, why not here?

I thought it was obvious. He's the only person I know of who is on the record as vehemently hating the Send Help sign.

I'm bringing multiple SEND HELP signs, on the premise that there will be an opportunity to use them at some point. Maybe if the meet comes to East St. Louis.

I figured it was him because it just sounds like something he would do.

Actually if you want to bring your silly signs, bring them, but just don't take a picture with me and the sign both in it or I will confiscate your camera and destroy your picture.

I don't even dislike the sign, I just don't want my picture taken with it.
