Less than 2 months to go.

The OP has been updated. If anyone is on the waitlist, and still interested in joining the tour, send me a PM for payment information.

BRT is first come first served.

The BRT thread has a very long tradition of riders not keeping up with the thread. You'll be a welcome addition to the tour. ^

She just had, or is about to have hip surgery.

My first and only BRT in 2010 was so traumatic it doesn't even make the historical moments list.

2009... We were filmed throughout the day for a documentary. Maybe it'll even come out one of these days.
2011... the bus went MX (mechanical). 90 minute delay.
2012... Teena, from Teenas Bakery isn't exactly know for being customer friendly.
55 days and counting...

If anyone is flying United for the BRT, I have a club pass that expires October 31, 2015. Send me a PM if you can use the pass.

My wife asked me how the tour is filling up. When I told her, I could see that she had an idea for the empty seats. If anyone is still on the fence about joining us, now is the time to do so. Otherwise, I/we will suffer the consequences.

I'm at the Hilton Newark Penn Station for $144+ Tax a night. I have two beds because Rod was supposed to come with me. If he decides not to, you can split the room with me if you want.

Awesome! I just saw this post and love it when a waitlist clears ~2 months early. I'm looking forward to joining the group for my first BRT!

Just in case you thought the food choices were limited, they go and add multiple new food vendors. We could probably spend the entire day here... http://www.smorgasburg.com/2015/04/whats-new-5/

Good thing we'll spend extra time here this year.

The food orgy continues on BRT 16.
