If a guy, let's say a french guy who can't drive, booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn, how could he get to the show? Is there a bus or taxis or should he beg someone to give him a lift?
The same question for the Red Robin gathering.
Thanks for letting me know.

If a guy, let's say a French guy came to America and stayed the Hilton Garden Inn, he would probably have no trouble finding someone to give him a lift to the Merchants Square Mall where the show is held. Many people who go to the show stay there and I'm certain someone would be willing to take him over to the Mall. Big Grin Taxis are available as a last resort but I would think you'll find someone to help out.

As for the Red Robin, that's even easier. It is in the hotel parking lot! You just walk there.

Beg? You would be treated as an exotic visitor!!

If you use a taxi, make sure there's four of you to split the fare.

And a stagger back!

Thanks for all your reply. I didn't know which Red Robin it was (there are 4 in Allentown). Can't wait.
A question for you Hammer : when are you arriving in Allentown Thursday or Friday? Which day is better to, say, have a look at the mall?

Szym—The Biegelmobile can be your backup vehicle to the show on Sunday morning (after the Card Talk gathering) if the chick truck is too full of...well...chicks!

Any chance of a lift for a U.K. first time visitor?
