PH Get Together-Thank You

[Mbella]

I had a blast today and would like to say thank you to Allied, EP Henry and all of the members that were able to attend.

Thanks to Allied for their continued support of the site, arranging the Parkerford plant tour and lunch. The classes you will be offering in the coming year are definitely a must for contractors and their lead employees. I am looking forward to attending myself. I have to say, you guys are far ahead of your competition in keeping in touch with contractors and supporting/being the driving force behind events like the one we experienced today. Thanks again.

Thanks to EP Henry for opening their doors to us and our members. The plant tour was definitely informative. I feel I will be better able to explain the process to interested customers after viewing the manufacturing process and the equipment involved. I definitely walked away with a better understanding and appreciation of the manufacturing process and the associated challenges.

Finally, thanks to the members that were able to attend. It was our hope that you guys would show up and represent the site and the level of professionalism that has been demonstrated on the site. I was definitely not disappointed and I know Chris wasn't either. It was a pleasure to meet you guys and I hope we can do this on a semi regular basis.

BTW, if anybody knows where I left my truck, PM me.:pound:

[cgland]

Thank you to everyone! We feel that the first annual ProHardscaper get together was a great success! The plant tour was very informative as was the info Allied has supplied us with. We thank Allied for their continued support and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship. On a side note, those of you that did attend, please get your info sheet back to Allied ASAP so that they can work their magic.
Another special thank you goes out to Integral Lighting for the demo kits that they supplied to us. If you have not tried the Integral product, don't hesitate! It's awesome! and we love the 18" unit.....very useful! As Mike has alluded to, we thank the many members that took their time to attend. We hope it was worth your while. For those of you that were not able to attend, MAHTS is just around the corner. PH II? Thanks again to all involved! Pics to follow! As soon as this stab wound heals! They shouldn't allow shanks in gentlemans clubs! LOL! j/k...not really!

[NewHorizon's Land]

I agree that today was very good and informative. I enjoyed coming up and meeting everyone. Seeing the manufacturing process was very nice. Mahts = PH II? I say yes.

Thanks to EP Henry for allowing us to view the plant.

Thanks to Allied for having us at your store and providing the lunch.

I look forward to working with you.

Same here. Nice to meet everyone. You guys are all my kind of guys. I had a blast through the whole event! It's nice to feel connected to something bigger than just our daily struggles in this business. I feel like the guys at Allied really won a lot of hearts and i think they are worthy of support.

Again....great times. We should all get together again soon!

I think its great that prohardscapers belives in giving back to the community and supports single moms just trying to get themselves through college.

Don't talk about the Allied guys that way!

[mckeeland]

Good times, good times. :tea:

It was great meeting everyone, definitely have to do it again.

Thanks again to Mike and Chris for putting this together and the guys at Allied for hosting it. They showed a real commitment to their contractors, makes me almost wish i lived in PA. J/K

Last but not least, thanks to John for introducing us to the fine folks at the Pole tavern and showing us how to have a good time in Pottstown PA.

[JZap]

I'm flattered jason... haha... The ballet is something special, and now the secret's out! Thanks Mike & Chris! I had a great time and think some "quality" connections were made yesterday. I agree that everyone in the bunch are my kinda people. I can't speak enough of the great service we receive on a regular basis. Their support is greatly appreciated. Their commitment to the contractor and the industry are far beyond our expectations. We couldn't ask for a better distributor! Thanks a lot guys, you've left me smiling ear to ear yet again! And that little latino number was ok too...:dance:

[mrusk]

For the next get together I think we should tour a quarry.

[cgland]

Good idea. We have a quarry nearby that would be perfect.

[mckeeland]

we have a sand wash, anyone want to see that?

[JZap]

we have a sand wash, anyone want to see that?

That depends... is there a ballet nearby? haha

[mckeeland]

this is south jersey, they are on every corner here.

[SzotAllied]

Well, aside from the Ballet, it was nice to have the opportunity to put faces to the screen names. Hopefully we'll get to do it again soon.

Mike

[lawnkid]

Now I'm kinda regrettin not goin. We only ended up gettin a little ice saturday morning and on top of that with my great luck I slid into a parked car. :frusty: Sounds like everyone had a good time. What about a summer get together when more of us would probbaly be able to make it???

[MuirView Design]

I think the surprise of the get together was not the huge turn out......
It wasn't the domination of the pool table by Gary and I....
It wasn't the spicy little number at the after party....
It wasn't the rigged raffle...

I think the surprise of the get together was that Matt Rusk is such a likable guy in person!! I think we were all presently surprised to meet Matt and enjoyed hanging out with him.......in spite of his notorious reputation! In fact, I can't say there was an A-hole in the bunch! Except maybe that guy from EP Henry...J/K! He was cool too!

[SzotAllied]

Well, I think I did refer to you (Muirview) as the "a-hole" that keeps kickin my ass at pool. HEHE. No really though, it was my pleasure.

[cgland]

Here are a few pics from the get together. The after party pics will be held as blackmail material and are for sale for the right price. Can you guess who is who?

[CaptainsLS]

I can see Adam and Rusk, but I cant tell the rest. That Rusk face is now my screensaver. You should post the after party picts. I'm coming to the next one.

[JZap]

Man Law states: Rule #543- There will be no photos at the ballet.

[Colonial]

Chris,

your a dead man!! lol. I cant believe you got that pic of my fat a**!! Where ar ethe pics of you and Mike at????

[cgland]

Chris,

your a dead man!! lol. I cant believe you got that pic of my fat a**!! Where ar ethe pics of you and Mike at????

I was going to tell everyone that was Mike!

[Mbella]

I was going to tell everyone that was Mike!

Who's that strapping, good looking guy with the red hat and back to the camara (just realized Mike from Allied has a red hat too)? He looks like he was working hard all night long.:)

BTW, pics of the ballet will be available in our "pay section," which should be available soon.:pound:

Ohhh, Adam, I know somebody Matt managed to pizz off.:)

[mrusk]

HAHA they got to earn those dollar bills!

[Mbella]

HAHA they got to earn those dollar bills!

And everything was going so well until Matt Rusk decided to crack the whip. She gave us all the universal finger.:)

Next time, it will be a Rusk prerequisite that you wear a sign (on the same placard as your permit) that states, although it appears we associate with you, you are independent of the Prohardscaper.com group and your views/opinions are yours only and more than likely nobody else agrees.

[lawnkid]

So with all this money you guys are supposedly making, you could only afford one chick? What's up with that????

[mrusk]

Hahaha. Guys I did you a favor. I saved you some $.

[kootoomootoo]

Ok apart from Matt....who is who. I am assuming that is the back of mikes head. PH2 Las vegas ...hardscapers gone wild...think youve seen it all b4 think again.

[paponte]

Dammit, away from the site for a week or 2 and I miss a get together!! Unreal, gotta be quick on this site! :violin:

Whatever do you mean? You never get more than one waitress at a time. At least not at the restaurant we went to. I must've missed the real party. I was at the pool hall with the other married guys.;):whip:

[cgland]

Come on Paul! That's a cop out! You got an email, plus we've been talking about this for months. No excuses! See you at MAHTS

[kootoomootoo]

Yeah I cant imagine finding married guys at a gentlemans club.
