PHILLY HO Meetup at the SEA Market on SEPT 8 [Philadelphia]

I thought I said that the market moved but the picture may have overpowered the words. Sorry for any confusion. You could access market form many palces but only one had the flags.

What do you think the square sign “Parking Hub” means? Maybe a landmark we could use?

Tomorrow at this hour we should be happily sated from all the goodies!

Shall we meet at the entrance with the flags? I’ll be draggin my PIC along & possibly a friend as well. You’ll recognize me by my RBF :wink:

To be clear - There were flags at an entrance in June when we went but the market is in a different location now. I have no idea if they are still in the same place, are somewhere closer to the current location or not there at all.

Mr Bean and I are both planning on coming but if the winds die down and fishing picks up he may not make it.

Roughly how many are we?

My PIC and I
Tamara & her son
You with or without your husband
@Bigley9 — what’s the scoop with you?

Am I forgetting anyone?

See you all tomorrow. I’ll look for flags. If confused I’ll holler for onions. I’ll be wearing a denim skirt and black ball cap.

The cat situation is under control but we are not going to make it anyways. We have a 12 day vacation coming up and need to finish shopping and such. Have fun!

I’m coming, just me and I’m Pat. And I’ll be in jeans and a maroon (?) tshirt, possibly with a zipper hoodie.

We’re on our way. ETA per Waze 11:44 but that’s without a p stop I’m sure I’ll have to make. Mr Bean is in gray shorts and black t shirt. I have lots of grey hair which I like to think of as premature but not really anymore.

We’re planning on being there a little before 12. I think I’ll wear a purple flower dress.

Daring my dood to go au naturel for easier recognition :rofl:

I’m here at the eastern end of the parking lot, not seeing any flags here so I’ll stroll the parking lot - I have a black and white paisley tote bag with pink straps

Flags at the other end of the lot. I am there now

I saw flags all over. We walked across the entire market, and are now at the street end (versus the soccer fields).

There is an information booth at the street end we are there

A spectacularly sunny day, practically made for an excursion to the SEA market with a few fellow HOs. We had some initial trouble finding each other, but where there’s a will, there’s a way, and — having walked through the market a couple of times already, we didn’t have much trouble choosing various dishes to try. One stand with probably the longest line of all (seemed like a good sign) was offering grilled stuffed chicken wings, various pork & beef sausages, and delicious beef & chicken skewers.

We grabbed a couple of beef skewers for the wait, and also ordered some raw lemongrass pork sausage and a ginormous portion of som tam to take home for dinner tonight. The som tam is crazy hot. I told the guy “spicy, not white people spicy,” and we shall now suffer deliciously :hot_face: :sneezing_face: :crazy_face:

Between our group of 7, we split the grilled sausages, beef, and some of the stuffed wing (it was a little difficult to cut),

A wonderful lunch with even better company, and we’ll definitely go back before they pack up for the winter.
