There's a bus transfer I think, but I'm driving so I dunno.

Doesn't look like it. Cab from the Woodside stop?

This location doesn't look like it's friendly for mass-transit

What date is this? And in "Sandy and Pee Wee" I assume it's Koufax and not Alderson?

Looks like QBC didn't get permission to use the Mets logos or wordmarks.

Hey, I presented at that Hofstra thing. I remember that.

good times. I don't know if the QBC has official permission or not. I know SNY is basically the official sponsor, and various Mets officials will be there. So I doubt if they slapped a Mets logo on something it would matter.

No one else thinks it's amazing that Gil Hodges is going to be in the main room at 1 p.m.? I have tons of questions for him, and none of them will be about the Mets.

I hate the location, sight unseen. Coordinating with MK that day is going to be difficult. We're driving in while he's coming from the City. It would have been better if the place was near a train stop.

Why is that so amazing? Do you really think he should be relegated to the Secondary Room?

It's Shannon Shark's and Jason Fry's Star Wars/Mets podcast. That will be a live recording.

I think they wanted a bigger space than what Citi Field's McFadden's provided in the past. Also apparently the place is very Met friendly. But yeah, its roughly a 20 minute walk from the nearest train ride, which isn't bad on nice days, but not great for those who'd rather use mass transit. I do wonder if McFadden's didn't want to do it any more in case anyone thought there was an official connection with the Mets? I don't know.

McFadden's is pretty much a crap space. Sound quality is rough, even with the external stuff brought in last year. QBC outgrew the secondary room for events. It was just really poor there.

Gil Hodges is the Gil Hodges Unforgettable Fire Award, which I'm presenting to Buddy Harrelson. I'll also be on the Mets Books and Mets Villains panels, for writing the former and bristling at the latter. Can't speak for the locale (I wish it were closer to the 7) but it's a packed program, hope many will come on down.

You're probably right. The QBC likely removed the logos from Bud and Teufel's caps because it looks a lot nicer that way.

I suspect they're just being too cautious. anyway, the Mets scoreboard is pretty nice. It's got Mets stats on it.

I think this reflects sponsor Hostess Cupcakes. Srlsly, wish these guys could find a sponsor so as to reduce the cost to attend. Fifty bucks is a lot for the casual fan and families.

If SNY is involved, I really don't see why they can't pony up the $15-20,000 it seems to take to run one of these events. I don't know any details, I'm just speculating on the costs. I did wonder where all that money goes the other day. Players signing get some, but Bobby's autograph is an additional charge. I guess the restaurant charges rent or whatever, but to me that's kind of a racket con- sidering they're selling food and beverage for over six hours to a captive crowd. Boiled down, and we've talked about it before, the Mets really need to get on board and have an extraordinary off-season festival for the fans of The O&B.

Are there any contingency plans in case Snowmageddon 2016 strikes on Saturday?

I haven't heard of any yet. I imagine certain things (like Bobby Valentine's schedule) make it kind of tough.

postponed/cancelled. Snow wins.
