Hi All,
The Forbes Yacht, the Highlander, is coming to Philly on May 6th (Tuesday). The event will raise money for the Community Coalition which strives to improve the lives of individuals living northwest of Philadelphia.

The event is primo! Top-shelf champagne, caviar, dinner, etc. Last year, they even served after dinner drinks and cigars. (All included in the ticket price.) Believe there's an open bar if I remember correctly. Live music as the boat sails around the Delaware for a few hours. You can move throughout the boat. The artwork on the wall is famous (Warhol, etc.) and you can check out the rooms. Incredible experience which is why I'm doing it the second time. (How I ended up on the Committee for the event this time is beyond me.)

Tix aren't cheap ($200/person) but $150/person is tax deductible. Unlike the car show it's not black tie. Tix tend to sell out fast for this event since the boat can only hold so many people and it is a unique experience. If you're interested, PM me an email address and I'll send you the e-invite ASAP. Include your address and I'll also get you a hard copy invitation. It's not a "meat market", but more of a "meet market". Good scene for a date or a night on the town with the guys. Who knows, you might even get your pic in the Society Section

mmmm very tempting...let me think about it for a few hours

 

David, you making this a date night, or a guys night out????

 

Good question. The blonde was my lead into this gig, and we're both listed together on the Committee(?), so it's def a date for me this time around. Still... we could kick back and enjoy the champagne, have a collective ciggie smoke on the boat deck, etc. I know that the economy's in the tank and the tix aren't cheap. Could be good for biz (no promises) as it'll be a mix of young professionals (high end) and old Main Liners.

 

I think I am in for this, but most likely solo. It sounds like a good meet and greet opportunity.

 

I am so in for this. Date or no date. Kev, worst comes to worst you can take me as your date

 

yea i'm in as well

plus who says you can't walk out w/ a door prize

 

I am 100% in, solo. You put out Jon?

 

For $200 ticket, a ride there in the Turbo, and a set of FabSpeed bypass pipes for my car and i just might!!!!

 

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, i just realized i will be in Ohio playing golf that week for business. Man, i really wanted to go to this. Anyone got a G5 that can fly me in for the event then back to Ohio for my tee time???

 

perfect, can I borrow the S to take to the event....I'll wash it

oh and a little FAIL for you as well

 

NO.

.....and right after i typed that post, i thought to myself, "i wonder how long it will take until Mike posts "FAIL" in this thread"

 

Age?

 

Damn, you are a cheaper date that I am!

 

If you throw up 2 bills I'm sure they won't care
