In early October, and he wants to meet everyone. I might not be able to be there since I'll be away Oct 3-5 (vacation) and Oct 9-12 (Gunstock - another vacation!). M4_Aiming_at_U
- maybe you could get in contact with Ed and get something going? I'll post this on the Pa board as well. |
|
Tizacked this postizzle my nizzles....
LOL Yeah I will IM "the boss" to see whats up. Where did you hear about this gus? I will post later where we will meet up with him. |
|
In the team area, in the completely unrelated thread with a bold font subject line...
How's that for cryptic?? Can't be letting our club house secrets out ya know... |
|
How about Thursday, Oct. 2 at Hooter's in the Inner Harbor? Or Jillian's...
|
|
Gus,
I could meet with you at night while I am there from Sept 28th to Oct 2nd.I can then meet with the others. Oh,don't pay attention to Aimless.No need to hide your Guiness from me! |
|
OK, I can be there any of those nights, wherever "there" ends up being.
Don't worry Aimless - I drink Budweiser! |
|
How 'bout that? There actually _is_ a valid reason for me to make a trip into MD.
|
|
Carpool? |
|
|
Ahh I see, you all wont come to partake in a meet or shoot. But Ed comes to town and you all finally get off your ass's!
|
|
Ok Here are a few suggestions of placed to meet:
Annapolis Applebees Annapolis TGIF's Annapolis Chevy's (Pretty good Mexican South western food) TGIF's in White Marsh Hooters in Baltimore ESPN Zone in Balitmore Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore How about we let Ed pick. I know there are plenty more resturaunts around but we need oned like these that let us chill out and stay a good while talking. Please dont leave me behind either, I will get out of work about 9:30 and it will take me a half hour to get to anything outside of Annapolis. I kinda think the Annapolis area is better anyhow due to it being center in the state for those who are coming from up north and for those coming from the South its a great center place to meet. If any of you need my Cell # just email me. |

|
Damn good point. I would love to see this arm wrestling match! |
|
|
rmz - Ed pretty much owns this board.
M4 - The only problem with Annapolis is that it's about two hours drive home for me. Baltimore is a little over an hour, although it saves me the drive down. Arundel Mall is closer to Annapolis than Baltimore is (shorter drive for you), and a much shorter drive and easier to find for the Va/DC guys. The ESPN Zone is VERY cool though, and there aren't many of them in existance - might be the best choice other than Jillian's. |
|
I'll try to make it just let me know a tentative date so I can figure out my schedule.
|
|
FUCK!
Now that that's out of my system....I can't make it. I watch my son on Sundays so that's out, I also just started a new job 2 weeks ago and have NO time to take off. I'll just have to meet Ed and the rest of you ugly mugs some other time. P.S. Sorry I missed the shoot, but I was best man at my buddy's wedding. |
|
Wait a minute here PD.We are talking Thursday,not Sunday! Anyway,I will be in the area from sunday til Friday morning!Pick an evening (if you are close)and bring the wife and your son with you.My wife will be there and the women can talk while you,the baby and I have a Guiness |
|
|
But that's okay 'cause I don't mind buying a round. |
|
|
Ed,
I'd be there if I could, but I work Mon-Friday and Bethesda is ~4 hours away, with traffic....? Nofolk is fairly close to the NC border and you'll be up there in the D.C. Metro area. One of these days I'll get soem time off and be able to meet ya'll at some function. Till then the Guinness is safe! OTOH maybe I could dissapear for a day and claim that I was abducted by aliens? |
|
Okay Ed.
If we are getting are ass's handed to us on Thursday night from the storm. Want to meet up on Friday night instead? |
|
Aren't you off by a week or two, he should be here 28Sep - 02Oct..... |
|
|
Woops, I guess your right. I got all excited and thought I was a few weeks ahead. |
||
|
I don't think anything official has been decided, but I still think Jillian's would be the best. It's REALLY easy to find, and it's a pretty nice place to boot.
|
|
Jillians is cool, but I think Ed wanted something in or near Bmoore |
|
|
He will be in Bethesda....I think he is open to best suggestions. At least that is how it was presented in the other thread.
He may also have his wife with him, so he asked that Hooter's may not be an option. B-more is a haul in that early evening traffic from down here. Arundel Mills is a might bit better.... |
|
Guys,I have no reason to go to Baltimore.Only if that is where you want to meet,but don't do it for me.The wife WILL be with me,and while it is OK to go to Hooters, I will feel like a child in a candy store and a bad case of diabetes.
I will be at the Holiday Inn Select,Bethesda (Sun 28th to Thurs Oct 2nd).While there I will have no computer,so you have to use the phone to get a hold of me.Anyone near enough who wants to drop by at happy hour...or later...feel free to do so. Holiday Inn: 301-652-2000 For those who can't make it,my tentative plans are to head to some of the historic sites in MD,PA and VA then head back to Rochester on Monday.Tues,I leave for Gunstock! |
|
That's why Iv'e been kinda leanign towards Jillian's - it's between Baltimore and DC, and has none of the parking and driving headaches that you will have in Baltimore. If you want to see it on a map, look for the intersection of I-295 and Md Rt 100 in Howard County. Arundel Mills Mall is right there.
|
|
It's a restaraunt/sports bar/nightclub. Pretty classy place, for a franchise in a mall! Link: www.jillians.com/club_detail.asp?club_id=62 Best analogy I've heard is that it's like Chucky Cheese's for adults. They have a little of everything there. |
|
|
Well, then:
I second Jillian's. All in favor say "aye"......all opposed "nay". |
|
I stand corrected. I guess I was thinking Baltimore when he said Bethesda
Jillians is cool with me. They have good shooting games hee hee. |
|
Rockville Hooters. Just up the road from Bethesda.
Dave & Busters - White Flint Mall - same as Jillians, pretty much |
|
Either is great with me. D&B os a lot of good fun. |
|
|
D&B would be very cool ...plus it's a lot closer to Bethesda.
|
|
I am off after 1PM on Thursday the 2nd so it is no major problem for me to drive 1 hour if it is more convenient for some of you to make it.
Pick a place and then tell me where either before I leave(Saturday night would be the deadline since I leave on sun Sept 28th)or call me at the hotel and let me know! |
|
Hell, either one is two hours from me in the hours we are meeting. |
|
|
Shivan, ain't that the truth. Beltway traffic and a bridge to deal with no matter which direction ya go. And after you cross the bridge you're surrounded by Maryland drivers.
I figure that if I leave the office in Ashburn around 1500... BTW, are we the only guys making the trip up from VA? Come to think of it, I don't think this has been mentioned in the VA forum yet so maybe a cross post is in order. |
|
I'll be coming from Annapoils and getting off of work at 930pm Thursday or 3pm Friday.
So if its thursday I will be there late like 1030 friday I can make it anytime. You know, just in case someone wanted me there or something...... |
|
Bethesda could be as much as 3 hours, counting traffic woes.
M4 - Friday I'm out of town (going to King's Dominion!) Keep in mind guys, I'll be partying with Ed the following weekend in Texas, so if there's a place for the meet that is better for everyone than me, you should probably go for it. I can meet up with the locals at a later date, and it wouldn't be fair to inconvenience everyone else for my benefit. |
|
Gus,I would love for you to be there but,do not feel like you have to go,because as you said,we'll get together the week after at Gunstock.
I will be going into VA on Friday and eventually into PA so if it is more convenient I could meet with smaller groups closer to your homes.I do not want to inconvenience any of you. |
|
I am out the door on my way to Bethesda.
You have the hotel number,location and know that I do not have a computer with me,so I will wait for someone to drop by or give ma a call with the information on when and where to meet. |
|
Travel safe, Ed! We'll get it figured out and give you a call.
