NEW
YORK CITY - HERE WE ARE
January
4th - 6th, 2008-Harry's Sam,
Mikell, Jen, Jack, and Phillip headed up to
New York for the weekend and had an awesome
time!!! Harriette Sam's boss has an apartment
right in front of Central Park and was very
nice to let us stay in it. We had an adventurous
train ride there and everyone loved the Hars.
While on the train we made it entertaining by
playing "Are You Smarter Then a 3rd 4th
and 5th Grader?" and we had people join
in with us to play. It took us five trains to
get there but we finally did. However poor Har
Phillip left his luggage on the train which
was not good because it had his iPod in it.
That did not stop the fun at all though; we
made sure everyone still had a great time. All
of us were very hungry so we found this "hole
in the wall" pizza shop called Bella Vito's
and we all thought it was the best pizza shop
ever!! We made some friends and had a few beers.
Then of course Har Jack did the "deek"
on us which was a big mistake because the pizza
shop owner took us out to do karaoke and stayed
there until 4 in the morning. We later brought
one of our new friends (Michelle) home to wake
up Jack. Saturday we all woke up and went to
Time's Square and were being quite the tourists.
We went to dinner at Vento's where Har Michele's
brother is the manager. It was amazing and we
thank him very much for such a great dinner!!!
Then we headed off to a bar called Latitude
and then one called Social till 4am. We made
a lot of new friends while we were there and
I am sure they will all be checking out the
website!!! CLICK ON THE PICTURES

PADDY'S
WELL AGAIN
December
8, 2007- The group of Hars and the
overall crowds were both less but none the less, Paddy's Well at the Wharf Tavern was a hit. About 15 hars turned
out and listened to some tunes played by our favorite
band. The Hars also ventured to our other Aston
hotspot, Barnaby's for some brews. The crowds
all re-convened for a late night opening of Harry's
One Spot. Fun times as always.

HARS
IN THE CITY
November
30, 2007- Harriette (Katie) organized
a night out in the city. First stop was a happy
hour at Harry's (Phillip) apartment. The Hars
met up with some of Phillip's friends and then
we headed over to a "bar." We hung out
there until closing and then called it a night.
Thanks for having us over Phillip.
PICK
OF THE LITTER
December
1, 2007: Hars
Scott and Beth are proud owners of the Sir and
Dam (Chewy and Chewette). This will be their
third and last litter, only because it is important
to keep the health of the litters and the parents
a priority. This litter contains 5 puppies,
her largest litter yet. Four males and one female.
The female happens to be the runt. The Sir is
a black and tan and the Dam is a light brown-reddish..
All the pups seem to come out with the color
of the Dam with accents of black, down the spine
or on the tail. Both parents are AKC registered
as well as the litter. They come with all paper
work to further the process of becoming a fully
registered AKC dog, which is all up to the new
owners. They were mated on September 17th and
born on November 17th. Today one of them actually
opened there eyes. This is when they will become
more active. You are welcome to come take a
look at the litter. If at that time you are
interested, you can put a deposit down to hold
the puppy of your choice, if no other deposit
has been put down on that puppy. They hopefully
will be ready to go by Christmas, depending
if they are fully on puppy food. If you have
more questions or would like to come visit please
call 484-288-8031. Numbers are also available
for previous buyers if you'd like to contact
them.
PRE-THANKSGIVING
THANKFUL HARS
November
21, 2007- The Hars gathered for the
biggest party night of the year, Thanksgiving
Eve. The festivities started at Harry Scott’s
house in A-town. After the pre-game the Hars headed
to The Wharf for some live music by Damage Control.
After a brief stint at the Wharf, the crew headed
to…you guessed it, Barnaby’s. The
Hars partied well into the night and more and
more good friends showed up as the night went
on. Everyone have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. You know the deal, click on the pic for more

THE
HARS GET SOME HEAVY BALL PRACTICE
November
16, 2007- Tonight many Hars ventured
across state lines to Prices Lanes Bowling Alley
in Delaware to bowl a few strikes (or in Jack's
case a few gutter balls). The bumper guards were
requested but the Hars did not meet the age requirement
per the manager. Fun times had by all and no one
was kicked out..... Thanks Prices Lanes! CLICK PICTURE ABOVE FOR MORE PICS
NEW
ROOMY IN VALLEY
November
10, 2007- A couple of Hars welcomed
Matt's new house mate with open arms tonight in
Valley Twp. New Jersey Dan was welcomed with a
bang. Thanks to the Hars, Matt no longer has any
secrets he is hiding from his new roomy. WELCOME
to the HAR GROUP DAN! (pictured

HARS
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
October
30, 2007- On this mischief night
(@2330 hrs) four Hars were nabbed red-handed
decorating this beautiful home on Surrey Lane
in Aston. The home owners allegedly heard
Hars Jack, Jimmy O., Kevin C and Matt outside
providing much needed industrial size saran
wrap and toilet paper to the house and cars.
Within minutes, the home owners started throwing
eggs in retaliation almost hitting Jimmy O.
The Hars retreated but only for a few minutes.
The car alarm also sounded which alerted more
neighbors to the incident. In the end, the
Hars were invited in to the home to share
a beer with the home owners. Afterwards, as
Jack tried to leave around midnight, he came
outside only to notice his car was GONE. Nice
one MicheLe who was very sneaky moving it
to the next block during the incident.
The next day, the Lawn Doctor guy was out
front taking pictures of it... he couldn't
believe that MicheLe and Brian weren't angry.
After MicheLe told him she invited the Hars
in for a beer for a job well done, well let's
just say he officially thinks we are all nuts.
We will see you next year.
PRODIGAL
SON RETURNS TO A-TOWN
October
30, 2007- A-Town has sucked in yet
another Har. Harry Scott moved into his new home
with the help of many Hars. This marks the return
of yet another A-Towner to the center of the universe.
With the help of relatives, friends and Hars alike,
the move was quick and almost painless (except
for the banged up uHaul…ALWAYS get the insurance!).
Don’t forget the pre-game for Thanksgiving
Eve will be at the 2-oh-5. Harry Scott thanks
all the Hars that came out to help and visit.
GUESS
WHO PARTIED W/ THE HARS AT HALLOWEEN?
October
26, 2007- The Hars annual Halloween
Bash took place tonight at the #ONE SPOT. Costumes
ranged from drag queens to cowboys. You gotta
see these pics.... CLICK ABOVE to view them. FUN
times as always
CAROLINA,
HERE WE ARE
October
18 - 21, 2007- Several Hars ventured
on a road trip to Kill Devil Hills, NC in the
Outer Banks (OBX) for an extended weekend getaway.
The Hars piled into Jack's and Kevin's car and
headed south. Trying to make up for lost time
since we got started an hour later than planned,
Kevin got a little speeding ticket on Rt. 13 in
Delaware by some local "municipality cop."
It didn't dampen his spirits and the Hars continued
south. The Hars had planned a little picnic lunch
on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel rest stop
however Jack missed the exit so we settled for
a Wendy's parking lot to hold the picnic. After
the 7 hour drive, we finally arrived at our house,
complete with a roof top deck. The Hars unpacked
the cars and Jack and Phillip headed to the grocery
store. We cooked dinner and chilled in the house
the first night playing games. Day 2 saw a trip
to the beach, a little jog through the "quad"
and some shopping. After another fabulous dinner,
the Hars spent a couple hours getting to know
our neighbors. As you can tell from the pic above,
our new friends brought some wigs with them for
a party they were having the next day. We had
fun hanging out with new Hars Linda and Vicky.
We all then ventured to "Jolly Roger"
to introduce the folks who appeared to be from
Aston Mills about the Hars. We sang some karaoke
and did a stirring rendition of "Walking
in Memphis." The crowd just loved us!!!!
Day 3 saw the Hars play a little put-put golf
and a little more shopping. Firehouse burgers
were on the menu for dinner as well. The evening
turned into movie ight as we watched "Knocked
Up" Sunday morning we cleaned up and headed
home to Aston. It was an uneventful drive home
but it was definitely an eventful weekend. The
OBX will never be the same!
PADDY'S
WELL AT THE WHARF
October 19, 2007 - The Hars posted
a 27 person turnout for Paddy’s Well at
the Wharf on Friday, October 19th. Thanks to Mark
Robinson for securing our typical tables up front
near the stage. No thanks to Josh for trying the
same task earlier in the day and failing miserably.
The band rocked the house as usual and an immeasurable
number of Irish Car Bombs were consumed in celebration
of Adam’s 33rd birthday. Most of these were
compliments of Brian Kelly and his staff at the
Wharf. Afterwards, the Hars and several band members
returned back to our favorite after hours club,
Harrys’ One Spot, for more late night drinking
and revelry. Thanks to all who came out and made
this evening a memorable one.
SAM
TURNS 21
October
10, 2006-October 31, 2007-In what has
been in the planning stages since the day after
her 20th birthday, Samanthe Jones has finally
turned 21 years of age. The Hars were out on Thursday
Oct. 11 to kick off the long awaited month long
celebration. A nice sized group of Hars met at
Outback Steakhouse in Glen Mills for dinner which
had followed a little pre-game ritual at the "Rock".
After din-din, it was off to, you guessed it,
Barnaby's of Aston for some imbibing. The Hars
hung well into the night laughing and having a
good time. This day was a long time coming as
many of the Hars have known Samanthe since she
was a little girl and have now seen her grow up
into a beautiful young woman. Happy Birthday Sam
and we hope you enjoyed your "first"
visit to Barnaby's.
EVERYONE
WANTS TO BE A HAR...
Sunday,
Octber 7, 2007-With
new members joining the Hars at a fast pace,
it seems like everyone wants to be a Harry even
some of the "Bobs" Guest appearances
have been made by numerous patrons from Flashovers
Tavern at various Harry outings. Some Bobs
were out at Blackthorn at the Wharf and some
made it out for Sam's birthday. Two Bobs seem
to be stalking the Hars. FF Ian Tully and FF
Lil Sara have been out at 2 Harry events in
one week's time. Its so nice that people of
all walks of life take a liking to the Hars
and we look forward to continuing to spead the
Harry word all across the globe.

RIDE
NOW 2007
Sunday,
October 7, 2007 - Phase II of Autism
Speaks' local fall fundraisers was held this date.
Several of the Hars rode in "ING Direct Ride
Now", a premier motorcycling ride from Boeing
to the Trump Marina in Atlantic City. Some 1200
bikes and nearly 2000 people took part in this
amzing day which helped raise over $100,000 for
Autism Speaks. Rabecka, Joe, Kevin, Katie and
Ron all rode in the run down to AC while Mikell
and Jen lacking a motorcycle drove down in the
car and met us for the after party at the Marina.
Combine the money raised for the ride with the
money raised in the Walk a few weeks ago and Philadelphia
raised over a MILLION bucks for autism research.
Thank you to all the Hars who made contributions
to "Jake Carr's Superstars" for either
the walk or ride, your contributions are very
much appreciated.--Kevin
Side Bar-Aston-Beecheood's $250 donation from
the Hoagies for Hero's contest was also applied
to the ride funds
