we could party into the wee hours of the
morning by taking an impromtu trip to
Giant, yes you heard me right, not Acme,
Giant, to get more fuel for our fire...We
had good times, good laughs and we even
had a cameo appearance from a local ambulance

AUTISM
SPEAKS FUNDRAISER
Saturday,
September 15, 2007 -
The Hars participated in the Autism
Speaks / Cure Autism Now -
Walk this morning at Citizen's Bank Park
in Philadelphia as part of Team "JAKE
CARR SUPERSTARS". Autism
is a complex neurobiological disorder that
typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime.
Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed
with autism, making it more common than
pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate
and relate to others. It is also associated
with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors,
such as obsessively arranging objects or
following very specific routines. Today,
all money raised went directly to Autism
Research which will hopefully find a cure
for this disease in the near future.

Luge Party at the 4-0 tonight. Approx.
30 Hars turned out for yet another fun
party. The Ice Luge was the main attraction
and it stayed busy all night. Jello was
again flowing at this party also and we
quickly ran out of it. The dance moves
broke out late into the evening. Great
job to all of the Hars for not breaking
Harry and Harriette Keiser's new storm
doors. Torpedo even seemed to be having
fun sporting his away jersey. Great times
as always with the Hars and we hope the
ice luge returns in 2008. Click

JAGERMEISTER
PAJAMA PARTY
Friday,
August 31, 2007-There
were two themes for this party, jager and
your PJ's. The rules were simple, wear what
you wear to bed to the party, have something
on that said "jager" and have
fun. The party was simple too, pizza, beer
and good times. Lots of Hars turned out
for this annual party. Hars Katie and Kevin
made up some delicious jello "shots"
which were a big hit along with the jager
machine lent to HQ compliments of the Micuns.
As usual, dancing, pong and flip cup provided
some entertainment. We partied into the
wee hours of the morning while everyone
had a great time. For the Hars who didn't
make it, you have one year until next year's
PJ party to get comfortable with the Hars
enough to show up in your PJs. Click

good time was had by all.

Monday night fun! As always, good times

HELLO,
GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK
Thursday

gathered at McKenzie's to hang out with
the Gars for an evening of karaoke fun.
It was a chance to see an old friend of
the Hars visiting from Las Vegas (Rod
with his other half Shannon) and to wish
a Har who is moving to Orlando, FL next
weekend the best (iCandy, aka Patrick
Sean). The karaoke fun kicked into high
gear when Allan Number 2 sang Tainted
Love by Soft Cell and D$ ended the evening
with a very energetic rendition of Sugarland's
Something More. In between were Rod's
rock performances of The Verve Pipe's
The Freshmen and perennial favorite Keep
Your Hands To Yourself. Good times!!!
JACK'S
$10K PARTY BOAT CONTINUES TO BE A HIT
WITH THE HARS
Saturday
August 4, 2007-
Well everyone knows it's not Jack's boat
but that's what makes this joke funny. Today,
the focus was on trying out the super fast
new jet ski and not getting hurt. Success
for the Hars but the folks in the "no
wake" zone didn't appreciate John M.'s
effort to quickly leave the fun area when
it was his turn to ride.
POOL
PARTY AT TERRY AND TONY'S
Saturday
August 4, 2007-
Hars Terry and Tony opened their home/pool
to the Hars today in Williamstown NJ. The
splash party was a huge hit but we were
disappointed Harry Kevin was able to stay
dry despite the unwavering efforts of Hars
Jen and Beth. Fun times.
CARR'S
BEACH HOUSE IS A HIT WITH THE HARS
Friday,
July 27, 2007-Well,
the Carr's hew beach house is finally done
so some the Hars spent a few days in Sea
Isle for the grand HARRY opening. Fun times
were had by all via hitting the beach, riding
the wave runners, going to Kixx, the OD
and LaCosta, hanging out, making dinner,
inviting new friends to come over and sing
on the porch etc etc.
KENNY
CHESNEY, PART DEUX
Thursday,
July 26, 2007-The
Hars traveled to the PNC Bank Arts Center
in Holmdel, NJ to check out Kenny Chesney
for a 2nd time this year. Wa difference
a sound system can make!!!!! Harry’s
Kevin and John and Harriette’s Diane
and Katie tailgated it up, proving even
Hars in small numbers can have BIG fun!!
We made some new Har friends (Matt and Jim),
had frozen blender drinks thanks to the
generator from ABFC, got our butts kicked
in washers, played some ringtoss and did
shots of every flavored rum you can imagine!!
Harriette Jen and her friend Jen joined
the tailgate in progress. By the time we
got into the arena, we missed Pat Green
again (but that’s ok!). Sugarland
ROCKED the house!! Jennifer Nettles sang
her face off!! A nice little intermission
followed, and just in time too, as the paparazzi
had arrived. Flashes were going off everywhere…couldn’t
get enough of the Hars!! And then…Kenny
appeared…and he sang almost all of
the great ones!! He performed more songs
than he did in Philadelphia. He certainly
didn’t disappoint, and left us wanting
more!! Could a 3rd trip to see Kenny this
year be far away??? MORE

Scott and Harry Mark Piselli spent the week
in Prague, Czech Republic for business.
Although this is Harry Scott's 3rd trip
to Prague, it was the first for Harry Mark
who got the grand tour. Some business was
actually conducted between the consumption
of some fine Pilsner Urquell Czech beer.
It's good to be back in the States though.
BOATING
FUN IN THE CHESAPEAKE
Saturday,
July 14, 2007-
The Hars took to the waters today for a
ride on the Graham's, no wait a minute,
the Micun's party boat. You will never guess
who broke the jet ski 20 minutes into the
day. Hmmmm, ok here is the hint, it is the
same Har responsible for the lightning strike
in Valley Twp. last month. After towing
the wave runner back to the dock, the Hars
hit the sea again and had a blast sitting
on the boat all day wasting away in Perryville.
Fun times.

for the Hars at their home in Elkton MD

Beach Luau and the purpose of the party

Today, Harry (Ken) shocked his awesome g/f
Harriette (Julia) by getting down on one
knee and asking her hand in marriage. The
Har couple was in Ocean City MD and this
was suppose to happen on the beach but Mother
Nature did not cooperate with Ken's plans.
He still went through with the surprise
while in their hotel room and Julia surprisingly
said "YES". Congrats Hars
SURPRISE
PARTY FOR HARRIETTE
Saturday,

Harriette (Jen) received quite a surprise
upon her return to A-Town from Canal Days.

and this party lasted until 6am. HQ is not
very popular with the neighbors these days.
Happy Birthday Jenny Bear.
HARRY

JIMMY
BUFFETT AND THE CORAL REEFER BAND 2007
Tuesday
June 26, 2007-
After months of ticket purchasing, trying
to find more tickets, numerous phone calls
to find out who has tickets, pulling strings
to get tickets, complaining you don't have
tickets, the Jimmy Buffett concert was finally
upon us. We actually threw the tailgate
together in about 3-4 days since we have
been busy planning other tailgates for the
recent Phils game and Kenny Chesney concert.
The short preparation time did not hinder
our enjoyment one iota. We had plenty of
food (did anyone even eat anything?), and
cool frosty beverages (now I know we drank).
This year we added two new attractions to
our tailgate: a moon bounce and fire hose,
both of which turned out to be huge hits.
We soaked people down thanks to lovely Camden
city water via the fire plug next to our
tailgate. We attracted a ton of attention
to the Hars with the fire hose (some not
so positive though). At one point, a nearby
concert goer wasn't too happy we were getting
his car wet and let Matt know about this.
Matt offered a solution to this guy's problem
to which he didn't like and sucker punched
Matt in the face, more on this story once
the legal proceedings take place. The police
shut our operation down 5 hours into it
but luckily our Fire Chief Jack was on hand
and no other issues ensued. Anyway, the
moon bounce was also a lot of fun. People
really enjoyed getting hosed down then trying
to hurdle the moon bounce. We also made
instant friends with our other tailgate
neighbors. They brought a 300 gallon pool
which we helped fill up and then took a
dip in. Hars continued to arrive throughout
the afternoon by various means of transportation,
car, train and ferry. We even had a special
appearance by Harry Pat Mylett along with
the infamous 63-K1 Chris Eiserman. We also
had the usually stuff going on, flip cup,
beer pong and washers. After 7 hours of
serious tailgating it was decided we should
pack it all up and maybe actually go into
the concert. Some how we all got separated
getting inside to the concert but we all
had fun, some more than others. Jimmy did
not disappoint either. He played the usuals
and ended it with "Glory Days"
by Bruce Springsteen. Following the concert,
since we did not have enough to drink, we
went across the street to some bar for a
round then headed "home". We however
got detoured to an adult entertainment establishment
and then to Geno's Steaks. "FUN TIMES"
as usual. For those that didn't come, we
missed you. Tickets go on sale for the 2008
show in March, see ya there!!!!!!!!!!
SEE
YA LATER CAKE!!!!!
Sunday
June 24, 2007-
Several Hars gathered at Cake's house in
M-town to give him a fond farewell before
he leaves for North Carolina next week.
The Hars shared stories of the past and
of course had a few frosty ones. ALL of
the Hars wish Cake good luck and happiness
as he embarks on this new chapter in his
life down south working in Xray. Visit often!!
FLIP
FLOP SUMMER COUNTRY JAM
Saturday,
June 23, 2007-
Today the Hars traveled back to the stadium
complex in South Philadelphia for the Flip
Flop Summer Tour concert at Lincoln Financial
Field featuring Pat Green, Sara Evans, Sugarland
and headlined by Brooks and Dunn and Kenny
Chesney. In the true fashion of the Harrys,
we arrived early and lived up to our name
of "tailgating harder than others party".
The tailgate featured food, drink, flip
cup games and Harry Matt playing DJ with
the boombox during the long lines at the
port-a-potties, getting more than a few
requests. Once inside the Harrys learned
that it is not ok to drink beer from a glass
bottle, even though you got it through security.
The concert was great and all of the Hars
in attendance had a great time having a
beer in Mexico with Kenny Chesney. After
the concert, Harry Jack learned that it
is not good to run over unlit road flares
set up by the Philadelphia Police and was
given special instructions on how to set
them back up. He even offered to light them
so other drivers wouldn't run them over
but the officer decided to keep them dark????
After the concert, we headed back to HQ
where only a few people were able to stay
awake. CLICK

MATT
CARR , HOUSE SITTING EXTRAORDINAIRE
Tuesday,
June 19, 2007-
Matt has been known to get more house sitting
gigs than a professional house sitter. Well,
Matt finally got Scott back for all of his
"jokes" today. Yup, that's right,
Matt tried burning Scott and Beth's house
down but making it look like lightning struck
a tree in the backyard, arched into the
house, set a gas line on fire which spread
to the floor joist in the basement. We here
at Yo Har.com have to give Harry (Matt)
credit for creativity. Melissa and Jerimiah
next door witnessed the act, proceeded to
video tape the incident and finally called
the fire department but not for Scott and
Beth's house, nope, they called for the
tree on fire in the backyard. We have a
new favorite fire chief now, Chief John
from ChesCo station Westwood actually noticed
the basement was on fire and extinguished
the blaze, much to Matt's dismay. Rest assured
Hars, Chewy and Chewette were heroically
saved by the efforts of Jerimiah and are
resting comfortably, recovering from minimal
smoke inhalation, which Beth has gotten
them used to. If you'd like to hire Matt
to house sit for you, you know the number.

DAY
OFF AT THE PARK story by
J. Scott McNeill
Wednesday,
June 13, 2007-
Some 30+ Hars, friends and family gathered
in the Lincoln Financial Field parking lot
for some tailgating festivities prior to
(and after) the Phillies game against the
Chicago White Sox. Harriett (Diane) supplied
some serious grilling food as well as a
surprise birthday cake for Harry (Scott)
and Harriett (Tracy). Inside the game it
was nice to see the Philly fans showing
there true colors by giving former Phillie
Jim Thome a standing ovation in his first
at bat. The Phillies won the game on an
Aaron Rowand Grand Slam to get within 2
games of the first place Mets. After the
tailgate, many Hars moved the party back
to Harrys’ One Spot.
THE
HARS TAKE TO THE JUNGLE
Saturday,
June 9, 2007-
ING Direct partnered with the Eastern Harley-Davidson
Dealers Association to host Independence
Ride 2007 today. Legendary daredevil Kaptain
Robbie Knievel performed a jaw-dropping
motorcycle jump and the Steve Miller Band
was the encore performance of the night.
Approximately $175 K was raised to benefit
the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The
Hars rocked with Steve Miller as he played
classic songs like Jungle Love, Keep
On Rockin Me Baby, Dance Dance Dance and
Take the Money and Run. After the AWESOME
performance, the Hars reconvened back at
HQ and met up with more Hars until the wee
hours of the night. Fun times as expected,
