The next New York Pipe Show is March 14,2009

[Sam Barnett]

March 14, that's just one week away. My how time flies.
Here is the time & location if anyone needs the info:

SHOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC @ 10:00 AM-------

LOCATION
WYNDHAM (Formally the RAMADA) NEWARK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HOTEL
1-800-223-8285 OR 1-973-824-4000

I've pick up some closeouts on Dunhill accessories, which I'll be
selling at bargain prices, including 2 sidecar ballpoint pens, a
stainless pipe tamper and some leather and a couple of lighters, if
anyone is interested. This should round out my display of about 40
estate pipes.

lately from Rich:

Apologies in advance, if I have forgotten to mention some, I am

Guys,

If you're planning to attend the show for the first time I have a bit
of advice to share.....

There's only one way to enter the place and it's on the right side of
a large divided highway.

A BIG word of warning here from someone who's been burned, * * *BE
VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GO BY THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOTEL!* * * It's
slightly hidden. Slow way down after pulling onto Hwy 9. It comes up
on you in a real hurry. If you DO pass the entrance, there's no real
way to turn around and go back without wasting 30-40 mins of your time
in doing so. The roads down there really suck and NOT one time in my
years of attending have I not heard at least one story of someone
getting helplessly lost on there way to it. Just stay in the right
lane and go slow to avoid any unwanted adventures in picturesque
downtown Newark : )

Here's the adress of the Wyndam: 550 US HWY 9 | Route 1 - 9 South/I-78
| Newark, NewJersey 07114

Hope to see some of you there!
