    Dibs on Mark's frontyard then! I can bring a moped and we can do donuts all night long. :D

    MMMMM! Donuts!





    I won't be attending the after festivities most likely. You guys can't handle me on the forums, what makes you think you can handle me in person? :eek:

    I would suggest that all Polkies to update their medical and death benefits prior to attending Polkfest.

    how far is the BWI airport from Polk HQ? Drive time please.

    A friend suggested i may want to fly into Philly and drive to Baltimore instead. Ideas on this?

    is Polk HQ located in West Baltimore?

    I don't remember from 3 yrs ago.

    Should only be about 18 miles and @ 35 minutes from BWI to Polk HQ.

    You do not want to fly into Philly as it's over 2 hours away.


    This is the easiest route to drive.

    Maybe if YOU are driving! I've made Baltimore in about an hour and 15 minutes. I live just outside of Philly and Philly is closer to Baltimore than I am.

    I don't doubt you John, but 2 hours or more is realistic for normal drive times.

    my friend who's made the trip from Philly to Baltimore said it took him 90 minutes to drive...

    I was just asking.. there doesn't seem to be any benefit of me flying into Philly over Baltimore then. unless I want a Philly Cheese Steak Sammich :)

    One hour and fifty minutes, round it up to two as I guarantee you'll hit traffic.

    Is it October yet???

    Are we going to have a flea market?

    I have a pair of leather chaps from my riding days; should I bring them?

    Will we have designated drivers?

    Will we play games?

    Can we impersonate other members when we get there?

    Will we be allowed to burn some piece of gear?

    Are we there yet????

    Well, I made George's list so you'd better put me on this list as well. I like lists.

    Is there a particular "designated" hotel that the bulk of the Polkies are going to stay at? Preferably near a bar [hint]

    I'm sure all the hotels near BWI have a bar. Off hand, I don't know of any around the Pikesville Hilton.
