On the other hand, It does not get quite so hot in Pennsylvania.  
Valley Forge is to be the site of MG 2008. MG 2008 is the annual  
NAMGBR convention. Unfortunately, it falls the same weekend as the  
Sprite 50th in MO. NAMGBR is quite familiar with Spridgets. The VP  
drives one. They like us, unlike that "other" org that drives big cars  
that make you say "AH so what the f*&k is that little piece of c$%p"!!

Do to an error on the part of one of the committee members (imagine  
picture of Larry looking in mirror), these 2 events got scheduled for  
the same weekend. So, iff'n you is in the NE of the USofA and want to  
be doing something on the weekend of June 26-29, come on over to  
Valley Forge. Or drive a 1000 miles to MO, where the roads are nice,  
the scenery great, you are not next to a million people (just 50,000  
on the same road in Branson - BTDT). Or choose to be on the trail of  
History in the valley where Washington once tread, slept and fought.

I guess it all comes down to upbringing. Were you closer to Pa or Mo??
