Hello everyone -
With regard to parking, we have arranged for reserved parking for you, in our Foreman's parking lot - which is right there at the factory. We have about 30 spaces - so this should cover it.

I look forward to meeting you all - and our President, Ron Losby, also will be there and looks forward to saying hello. Additionally, I'd like to invite my colleague from the Northeast to come and say hello as well.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Mmmm, pretty tempting.

What about (reasonnable) hotels, accomodations in Manhattan or Queens? Or maybe a B&B. Those of you from NY must have an idea. Any help appreciated.

Bob, The parking news is great and will be a big help in getting things underway on time! I look forward to meeting you, Ron Losby and your colleague.

Hi Mario, There's lots of Hotels in the area. The Steinway factory is not far from LaGuardia airport. As for reasonable, well this is New York. I could look into it if you like. I hope you can make it.

I think I can make it.

Playing piano at age 2, it was thought that I was some sort of idiot-savant. As it turns out, I'm just an idiot.

Ok, now I'm starting to feel left out.

Please take pictures wherever/whenever you are allowed, but particularly get some group shots.

We traditionally get a group shot under/over/around a grand (see most any forums party, or other tours).

I'm hoping you get into the tryout room this tour too (it was being used when we toured last year).

I'm jealous. If I wasn't 1400 miles away I'd join you :-)

Have fun everyone, and don't forget to give us a full report afterwards.
