I'd like to come...Lisa mentioned it to me, and asked if I was going. I can't say that I am definitely coming, but will know hopefully soon. I just have so many plans for this summer (all money guzzling ofcourse) and then it's college in the fall.
I imagine taking a bus down would be the best way for me to get there. But I think I would want to come for Friday and then stay until Sunday like Di. I might bring a couple of friends with me (who are unfortunately non-cher fans...is that ok guys? I'm sure they can always find something else to do while I'm with the Cher gang).
Does anyone have a recommendations of where to stay? Some place that is somewhat gentle on the wallet but not totally gross...LOL.
Thanks
Julie

Yeah George and Tim both should come down! I have met both of them as u may remember. I will try talking Tim into it, but I know he was dealing with the debt after the HB shows. I checked out the Hotel Pennsylvania, and it looks really cool. But I didn't see the rates listed on their site. Anyone have a general idea of how much it would be? LOL...I feel like such a cheap person, but money sure isn't growing on trees and I have to go for the best bargains!  LOL....a powerhouse Cher tour in a day does certainly sound fun. I may have to do that, but I need to check to see what the Bus schedule is and when we'd be arriving. If we could get on a bus even on Friday night and arrive Saturday, that would be ok with me, then maybe leave Saturday night or perhaps stay one night. Hmmm...options, options, options! I must figure something out...the sooner the better! Then it'll all be set in stone and I can really start looking foward to it. Julie |

Hotel Pennsylvania, well the rates are good and the Lobby is grand. And it was very close to MSG so I stayed there for the concerts. The rooms are/were drab, but they were remodeling and must not have done the part I stayed in yet. There is a Sbarros very nearby so there is always a place to grab a bite. I used hotels.com and it was a total of $220 for two nights. Enjoy you guys! Wish I were able to be there! Susan |

Good Lisa I am glad u didn't forget cos if u stay over till sun the NY times is heavy buddy! LOL..hee hee..BTW to those coming in the DAY'S pass Metro card is 7.00 Pretty cheap cos once (to those who've never been)see NY it's a mobscene..we subway it and rarely take cabs..too broke..and they're a lot..once in a while to only get to a spot the trains don't go to and or are hard to get to..but otherwise we subway it around..the 7.00 pass is good for ALL day..24 hrs:) So really worth it cos if u don't get the all day pass it's 2.00 a ride each way so the all day card is great for those landing and coming in that Friday..and to those coming in THAT Friday u may wanna hit Serendipity that day..it's less crowded mid wk my friends and listen like I told some of u..Cher is THIN..yes the frozen hot chocolate ROCKS..but honestly try their sundae..u will never be able to eat a sundae anywhere else but NY:) U will see why:) LOL

Yeah Lisa I know ur finances suck like mine trust me u won't be able to afford the cabs..they're slow as crap anyways..we only take em if they go to an area that's hard to get to via subway..in NY we all take the trains..no biggie..so much cheaper..so much faster..We even once ran into Julia Roberts on the train and before he died my friend ran into HOT John F Kennedy Jr on it..the cabs are too slow and costly..but when needed we just split it..One time Sheri and I ran into this guy on the subway..OMG he was SOOOOOOOOOO hot..winds up we then go to Dinner (Carmines of course:) Sheri loved it..anyways..we then go to see Little Shop of Horrors that nite after dinner..well we DIED..winds up the HOT guy from the subway was IN THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!! Was so funny..he played one of the man eating plants (to anyone who knows the show! LOL)..but at the time he was in outfit we had NO clue it was him..then at encores and bows when he took it off we looked at each other like HOLY CRAP..it's the HOT guy from the train! Sheri and I couldn't believe it..so (despite the pouring rain and snow that nite)we WAITED for him by stage door and he signed our programs..he goes Hey girls how was Carmines!? LOL..and he introduced us to his friend that was also in the play! LOL..was too funny:)

Well, I still don't know if I'll be there or not. I want to say I will...but now my friends that were supposed to go with me don't wanna go! I don't think there's any way my parents would feel comfortable about me going down alone. But we will see. My friends only want to go to NY if there is a Yankees game going on, and they checked and there isn't one that weekend...what nice friends. I thought all along they wanted to come just because I was going and they wanted to come with me.   Julie |

We are gonna actually need a full number count though after July 4th cos I think Deb is gonna TRY to do a reservation cos supposedly they take em now..we'll just break up into 2 or 3 tables..Good luck Deb cos I had no luck they told me no reservations and just come early..Kris maybe we should well leave now! LOL..But anyways..yea by after July 4th to those goin maybe just confirm w/Deb so we can try n make a reservation..I know Denise her mom Gabrielle Me Deb Felicia Lisa S Kristi Yvette Di Robert and so far many IFS..ppl gotta see re: work and what not..Alex I know emailed she was able to get someone to cover for her..but not 100% confirmed but I think it's a yes. Megen didn't hear back from officially yet and I think Bert is but he's working 2 jobs now but I think he will just didn't hear back officially yet..Many others that emailed me were IFS so far..everyone broke now from tour/broker crap..so bad time I realize like I said I empathize with u all well! LOL ...BTW to those going July 23rd...Kristi is saving her infamous Cyndi Lauper dance for u all:) ...and wait till u out of towners see our hottie singing cowboy whose goin to do a special Walking in Memphis for u all:) LOL |

LOL....a powerhouse Cher tour in a day does certainly sound fun. I may have to do that, but I need to check to see what the Bus schedule is and when we'd be arriving. If we could get on a bus even on Friday night and arrive Saturday, that would be ok with me, then maybe leave Saturday night or perhaps stay one night. 
Is it next week?? LMAO...
