Hey guys, some of us from CT and I think guys in NH are planing to go to this, and try and meet up and drive in together. Exit 68 off I-84 at the Big Y at 8:00AM. Then we can drive the rest of the way to the show. Just post up if you want to meet up and go so we know how many to expect/wait for before driving up. Here is the info:
