Speaking of hoots, anyone down for a holiday get together? I propose a one o'clock meeting at the unofficial restaurant of the CPF on Sat 12/23. *** title edited to change date ***

Vic Sage Dec 11 2006 12:46 PM

I'm taking my daughter to the matinee of WEDDING SINGER that day. Order a "pig out" in my memory.

Farmer Ted Dec 11 2006 01:00 PM

I'll be in NC getting some REAL BBQ. Well, the in-laws call it REAL anyway. I may have a pork sandwich and some ribs with Rockin' Doc.

KC Dec 11 2006 01:24 PM

My money is on the NC in-laws over Times Square bbq. If 1/6 or 1/13 is better, we could also do that if 12/23 is too close to xmas. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Vic Sage Dec 11 2006 02:22 PM

i think either of those alternate dates would work for me.

sharpie Dec 11 2006 02:38 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 11 2006 04:10 PM

Yeah, the January dates look more workable.

ScarletKnight41 Dec 11 2006 03:52 PM

Getting into the City right before Christmas could be dicey. I think that January would be a better choice. FWIW, I can't make 1/6, but I can make practically any other day that month.

KC Dec 11 2006 04:37 PM

1/13 makes better sense. With xmas falling on a Monday, the 23rd is part of xmas weekend so to speak. Let's shoot for that. 1/13, 1:00, Virgil's on 44th

ScarletKnight41 Dec 11 2006 04:53 PM

It works for me. I'll see if D-Dad can join me.

seawolf17 Dec 11 2006 06:45 PM

I'll be in as a tentative yes. Need a reason to head into the city, and this is as good as any. Figure us for two and a half.

ScarletKnight41 Dec 11 2006 06:48 PM

Ooh - I can't wait to see that adorable baby!

SteveJRogers Dec 11 2006 06:49 PM

I can get down there any Saturday. Have a yearly tradition of mine to go through 5th Ave and get a look at the Rockerfeller Center tree. Ahhh, Silver bells, sliver bells, it's Christmas Time in the City. Ring aling, hear them ring. Soon it will be Christmas Day..." Okay, I promise I won't sing! =;)

KC Dec 11 2006 07:00 PM

Don't wait until 1/13 to see the tree, they pull the plug a couple of days after New Years I think.

SteveJRogers Dec 11 2006 08:26 PM

Of course I forget on the 13th I'll be drinking, having fun, and watching football on my company's dime in St. Marteens. But I'm pretty much free every Saturday straight through till April. If it is on the 13th and if I have internet access maybe I'll send some cyber regards, and some cyber sun shine =;)

sharpie Dec 13 2006 05:31 PM

I can probably make it. Maybe Lenny.

KC Jan 04 2007 07:15 PM

I guess it's time to bump this. Anyone who plans on going please chime in, (or PM/email) me so that we can get an estimate of how many we're looking at. Virgil's upgraded web-site.

SteveJRogers Jan 04 2007 07:20 PM

Have fun, not sure if I'm bringing my laptop to post from St Marteens, but I shall be photobucking some pics the week I get back and throwing them up here Though I'm sure I'll be pounding brewskies just the same!

Johnny Dickshot Jan 05 2007 04:01 PM

I will try to be there, along with Wifey and Junior 'Shot

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 04:17 PM

Looks like I'm in New York next weekend, so I may be able to pull this off.

sharpie Jan 05 2007 04:27 PM

I can still probably make it. mrs. sharpie is outta town that day so that might make it easier.

KC Jan 05 2007 04:56 PM

Cool, so we're on ...

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 07:53 PM

Yeah, write me in. Solo. Unless I can score a date on the Delta Shuttle. Hopefully Omar will have this Oswalt deal sewn up by then so we have something to talk about.

KC Jan 05 2007 07:56 PM

Score twins ... KB will be in The 'cuse.

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 08:19 PM

Maybe Cecily and Gwendolyn will be working that flight.

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 09:36 PM

Which one are you calling a bitch? Cecily or Gwendolyn?

SteveJRogers Jan 05 2007 10:05 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Which one are you calling a bitch? Cecily or Gwendolyn? I meant bitch as in the verb, not the noun In other words, do we have a place for airplane and airport stories around here?

KC Jan 05 2007 11:09 PM

See ya there.

Rockin' Doc Jan 05 2007 11:16 PM

Virgils has become the traditional meeting place (other than Shea of course) for CPF members. There has been a meet and greet gathering of members at Virgils virtually every year. It's worth going if you have the chance. It's nice to put a face (and real name) with the onscreen personas. I have enjoyed meeting several of the members here and I have found them to be fine people. So if you're able to make it to the upcoming gathering, I recommend you go, eat, drink and enjoy some good fellowship.

patona314 Jan 05 2007 11:47 PM

thanx rock. where's virgils? YEAH i'm herm winningham!!! i thought that guy was the next MOOKIE!!!

Rockin' Doc Jan 06 2007 07:26 AM

Seeing as I live in NC, I'm not the best qualified to give directions. Virgil's is located just off Broadway near Times Square at 152 W. 44th St. If you click on the "contact" header of the site, it has a map that shows their location pretty well. I made it to Virgils without getting lost a few years ago , so it can't be too hard to find. The food is wonderful and the beer is cold.

patona314 Jan 06 2007 08:37 AM

mmmmmm..cold beer

seawolf17 Jan 06 2007 05:52 PM

If you can find Times Square, then you can find Virgil's. Nice and easy. Count us tentatively in for two and a high chair, pending anything crazy happening with MiniWolf between now and then. It'll be a good excuse to bring him into the big T-backwards-R-U.

sharpie Jan 08 2007 12:53 PM

That Toys-R-Us is one of my least favorite places on this planet.

KC Jan 11 2007 09:59 AM

Just a last reminder ... 12:30 Saturday. So I guess we'll be at least 14-15 or so counting kids, sounds like a nice group. My train lines up so that I should be able to be the first one there to greet people in the bar area. If anyone who hasn't met up with us wants to join us please don't be hesitant. Feel free to PM me and I'll give you an idea of who to look for.

Vic Sage Jan 11 2007 11:18 AM

familial obligation. can't make it this year. hoist a weisse beer for me.

ScarletKnight41 Jan 11 2007 12:17 PM

I just bought my train ticket this morning. I'll be there solo - D-Dad will hold down the fort here.

soupcan Jan 11 2007 12:59 PM

My 8 year-old's birthday party is Saturday. Have fun peeps.

G-Fafif Jan 11 2007 11:04 PM

Hey, barbecue! And Mets! Scarlet just clued me in. I think I'm RSVP'ing. See ya there.

Willets Point Jan 12 2007 07:02 PM

Heads up for anyone taking the subway to/from Virgil's tomorrow from the Gothamist: ] EVENT: Leave your pants at home and take a little ride on the subway this Saturday. That's right: it's 2007's No Pants Ride! Interested? Meet in Foley Square at 3 pm. Warning: you may get arrested. Saturday // 3pm // Foley Square // Free

ScarletKnight41 Jan 12 2007 07:09 PM

I think I'll walk....

cooby Jan 12 2007 07:57 PM

Shouldn't "No Pants Day" be held during a warmer month?

ScarletKnight41 Jan 13 2007 07:39 PM

It was a small but enjoyable gathering at Virgil's today - Kase, me, Sharpie, Edgy, Johnny Dickshot with the lovely Mrs. Dickshot and the adorable Dickshot Jr. enjoyed barbecue and good company (well, the little guy stuck to Cheerios, but not by choice....). Willets Point and Ms. Tiger came by later and joined us for a couple of beers. To all who made it - it was great seeing everyone and hanging out together :) For all who missed it - hope that you can make it in future years. There's nothing like baseball and Mets fans to help tide you over until spring training!

cooby Jan 13 2007 07:44 PM

Ms Tiger? Va va voom!

KC Jan 13 2007 08:40 PM

We forgot to get a table picture.

ScarletKnight41 Jan 13 2007 08:50 PM

Edgy nixed it due to hat hair issues.

seawolf17 Jan 13 2007 09:30 PM

Nuts. Knew I forgot something today...

KC Jan 13 2007 09:50 PM

You're banned

Rockin' Doc Jan 13 2007 10:04 PM

Though I couldn't amke it to Virgil's, I was with you all in spirit. I downed a few beers in honor of the gathering.

G-Fafif Jan 13 2007 11:26 PM

Waylaid by cluster headache and treatment thereof. Next year in Jerusalem...

KC Jan 14 2007 09:47 AM

I think you got some bad Advils ... you couldn't get me to The Middle East if you threw me over your shoulder and carried me.

ScarletKnight41 Jan 14 2007 10:07 AM

It's what one says at the end of the Passover seder every year. It's tradition.

KC Jan 14 2007 10:19 AM

Passover is in April, he was obviously fevered.

Great of Mr. and Mrs. Point to provide the special guest appearance. Sorry to miss the Wolves and Mr. FaFiF

SteveJRogers Jan 15 2007 09:12 PM

Sounds like it was fun, hopefully I can make it in the future, did the weather cooperate?

ScarletKnight41 Jan 15 2007 09:25 PM

The weather was a non-factor. Light drizzle with mild temperatures. Nothing that a substantial sweatshirt couldn't handle.

That's true, Baby D grabbed at everything he could reach. For the things he couldn't reach, he used the power of the Force. He's one cute baby. ="cooby"]Ms Tiger? Va va voom! She's all that and more cooby. I feel kind of sneaky coming late but still winning door prizes. Thanks KC and Johnny!
