man I can't wait for this thing, I live very close to Newark and I know exactly how to get to top gun (everyone does because it's next to six flags) so If there are rides that are need from the airport to a hotel or house or field I bet I could help, however, I only have a provisional license... I'm a youngin...
Tunaball 2 heads-up

Yo evil, if you could PM me on the specifics of those locations that would be awsome. I'm gonna try and make it this year (coulden't last yeard because of the whole, $80 a month salery)Originally posted by BigEvilWell, my logic on both is this; We play during the day at TopGun and probably will party in either hoboken or NYC. Like last year, makes more sense to fly into and stay near Newark airport and just drive the hour to the field than it does to party then drive all the way back to near the field for a hotel.
The place that some of the guys stayed at is right near Newark Airport, IIRC it was a Howard Johnson. Some of the out-of-town'ers had some issues finding their way around, and grasping the concept of the "New Jersey Turnpike". But all in all it isnt that bad, although Newark isnt exactly one of the more scenic parts of NJ unless you are into broken crack viles and graffiti. Another bonus is that its only about 15-20 minutes from my house on Staten Island, which may possibly be the location of the pre-Tunaball bbq.
I am going to work on trying to get a deal with either that Hojo or another hotel for you guys. I will keep you posted.
And are there any cheap**** motels around, I don't need fancy rooms

Cheap hotels are the only way to go. The Hojo wasnt so bad, but I dont recall the rates. Some of the guys split rooms.Originally posted by cyrus-the-virusYo evil, if you could PM me on the specifics of those locations that would be awsome.

imagine you had to use the turnpike everyday for work!!!!Originally posted by rudzThe hojo was nice, the restruant was good, but the front desk was a buncha pricks. I forgot the prices, I split a room with lornecash, and the price wasn't bad for as long as we stayed there. And the nj turnpike sucks....

Stupid question, but are people under 18 allowed to rent motel rooms in NJ? Or do I have to have someone do it for me?
EDIT: Also, for the after game party (I assum it will be at a bar of some sort) How old do you have to be to just go into a bar, but not be served?Last edited by cyrus-the-virus; 09-08-2007, 10:30 PM.Comment

^^^^If this isnt a COMPLETELY stupid statement!!! LOL!^^^^^^Originally posted by BigEvilSome of the out-of-town'ers had some issues finding their way around, and grasping the concept of the "New Jersey Turnpike".
NJTPK Engineer: "You know what would be completely useless to people?"
NJTPK Selectmen: "What?"
NJTPK Engineer: "Lets divide the highway into 4 lanes as usual,.. then cut the highway into 3 different sections split over 20 exits. So its more combersome to get off the highway and you have to go through more tolls."
NJTPK Engineer: "And we need a concrete wall that moves in between the lanes after every exit,... you know,...... just to make things interesting!
NJTPK Selectmen: "Oh,.. I see. And lets change some common place names for things you find on a highway. Like this U-Turn,... lets call it,.. umm,... a "Turnbuckle".
NJTPK Engineer: "Why a "Turnbuckle?"
NJTPK Selectmen: "Why not,.. and besides,... wrestling is an American Favorite Entertainment for television viewers,.. it will work."
NJTPK Engineer: "Okay,... anything else?"
NJTPK Selectment: "Yeah,.. dont put in motion sensors on the U-Turns,... I mean,.. "Turnbuckles". People that need to get somewhere when they drive would much rather WAIT at the intersection on a red light for 4 minutes to let the other lanes allow the wind and no cars to get out first."
NJTPK Engineer: "I'll have to make a note of that!"
At least in NH,... ur driving directions would be: Get off I-93 to exit 3,... go 5 miles,.. take a left at light,... go 2 miles,.. take a left onto Rollins Road,.... ur there!
For BE: And no Scott,.... u will not find any horse and buggy mechanics up here unless you go to the Amish Community. I know u have a thing for men with finger to elbow plasic gloves on!Last edited by p8ntbal4me; 09-09-2007, 10:30 AM._______________________
