| I signed up for a friend and myself. I can`t find anywhere on the site, what time we have to be there, on friday.
We will be driving there from New York just over the border from Ct. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I'd get to the hotel just before dinnertime. That's when lots of us start arriving and the excitement builds. Last year, Ovation (I think) sent pizzas for dinner. It's a great time to get acquainted with people so that, by the time we start jamming after dinner, you feel "plugged in" with the group. John <>{ |

Location: closely held secret | Um... Zim (and John), if you're coming for the Tour, you're gonna want to be there a little earlier than dinner.
Last year we were supposed to be at the Factory by 7:30 am for check-in. I assume it's the same this year. |

Location: Tennessee | Several of us OFC'rs also ordered a supply of pizza, and if I remember correctly Moody handled the collecting and disbursing the money part of the transaction. But then again, Cliff and I were quite deep into the Patron by that time.
A special thanks to the factory for having water fountains located throughout the facility. |

Location: NJ | the soccer people provided the pizza and some of OFC guys invited themselves to the party. Then a few pizza's were ordered by OFC people. when the soccer people went to sleep they brought over their remaining pizza and gave it to us.

Location: NJ | The pizza crumbs led to the kitchen where I left the pizzas for the "night staff" (who, by THAT hour were halfway through their shift) the trail spilt tequila went back to my room . . . |

| All I did was ask what time to be at the tour on friday morning. Got all these messages about pizza.
The question still stands. |

| Thanks Waskel,
The only reason I asked was, I was at the door at 8:00, and the bus from the hotel didn`t show up until after 9:00. This was on the 04 tour. Didn`t make it there last year. |

Location: NJ | The first year was a little "sketchy" . . . we had some issues waking up, rounding up, and bailing people out . . . THIS year, Al's gonna have it run like a well-oiled machine . . . . a clockwork one, . . . but a "well-oiled clockwork" nonetheless . . . |
