A few details to post, and more to come in the days ahead.

1) If you mailed in a check for RoachFEST, please email us_cockroach@comcast.net immediately so your email address can be added to the mailing list.

2) Baseball tickets are sold out. There are plenty of openings for RoachFEST still available.

3) For all of you Philly-area roaches, walkups will be accommodated (and welcomed).

4) Parking is free.

5) Soft drinks are included.

More details will be posted on the website (www.us-cockroach.com) as we get closer. Please feel free to email specific questions directly into roach headquarters (see #1 above), so the answers can be posted on the site for everyone elses benefit.

What's with needing a photo ID to get into roachfest/lincoln field (from us-cockroach.com)? Is the TSA going to be on hand just to torment Spiff? :D

No, BBB is going to have his people run a check of our itins over the past 12 months. They are only buying drinks for folks who have flown over 70% Y and B fares. :D

Lincoln Financial Field is a secure facility. We have VIP Parking privelidges and are in the actual Press Room of a 400 Million dollar facility.

We are well beyond any area that a "Normal" person would have access to the facility. The security is reasonable and prudent on their part given our level of access to the building. This is after 9/11 quite normal.

How do we get into Lincoln field? Which entrance/gate etc?

Does it have to be a valid government issued ID? Can I use my YMCA card? Will I get the secondary? Will I have to give up my Swiss Army knife? :p

They put a PDF file with directions up on the roachsite. If I remember my Philly geography correctly, it should be pretty easy to get to from the airport.

I'm local (Wilmington) and only about a 20 minute drive away..if I decide to come, I assume just bring $35 with me to the field?

There are links to maps and directions on the site.

Due to a change in plans, one ticket to the ballgame has become available. There is a new PayPal link on the website. First come, first served.

Hey! Just because you're a moderator doesn't mean you can just show up. You have to know the secret hand shake. It's just like Fred & Barney and the Water Buffalo Lodge. We have rules you know?

I mean how could we be a part of the air travel industry without arcane rules you have to figure out that make no sense to anyone except the person who wrote them.

In order to attend you must know the Island in the South Pacific that Amelia Earhart was searching for prior to her dissappearance. If you know the name of her Navigator on the ill fated trip you win NOTHING except perhaps the adoration of your fellow roaches.

Just kidding, Hope to see you soon.

That would be Howland Island and Fred "Wrong Way" Noonan.

Anyone who had asked about a ride from NYC and vicinity for Saturday please contact me by 7PM Friday via PM or email so we can coordinate schedules. I have PM'd those whom I remember as having asked.

I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday!!

Just to let anyone know that my other half will almost certainly not be attending the meeting with the dark side so that entry fee is available for a last minute walk up or fly in for gratis. She probably already thinks I am crazy but I wanted to spare her the meeting and I told her that it was a dedicated group of FF interested in meeting with US management and she now gets to tour the sights in PHL that afternoon.

So catwood, it is on me unless you already paid.

I'm a last minute entry to the Fest, driving up from suburban DC Sat am. Hope everyone is wearing their cockroach pins so I can recognize you!
