anyone going to be in Philly next Monday?

[ecompt]

My wife and I are making the seven-hour trip to the Nova game. Is there any pregame reception anyone knows about?

I'm making the drive from DC to be there.  Not sure of any reception planned, but I'll spend some time this week looking into it.

Originally I was going.  However, I am going to the St. John's game on Wednesday, and it is too much to make Nova as well.  I am in the Poconos at my client during the workweek.  Too bad I wasn't in town for Seton Hall... that would have been the easiest one to get to.

At least I can watch SUNY next Monday.  Got to love being out East, Mon-Thur.  I can watch all of the Big East games.

This is what I got from the Alumni Association

I will be there with my fiancé, my first road game as an alumnus.

I will be there along with 9 others (working in Philly on a out-of-town project and taking my whole team with!).  As most are agnostic to the teams I plan on bringing a few extra yellow Ts with me.
