Hmm... How long were you planning to be there? I'm booked for cake and ice cream on account of my nephew's birthday, but I doubt that's going to be an all-night thing and North Babylon isn't terribly far from Rockville Centre. I'll come if I can.

I'll be away at the in-laws.

To paraphrase Linda Richman, we'll have coffee*, we'll talk, no big whoop. *I don't actually drink coffee.

I mapquested it and it's a good 45 miles and easily over an hour so I think I'll have to pass (and it's a work night). I'd like to see a couple of ya'll but I'll hold out hope that we can have a pre- season meeting in the city (with a good half-dozen additional bodies than this years come March) which is more centrally located.

No can do. Have fun.

Ah, too late and too far for me. Thanks for the invite, though.

boo, long island.

G-FaFiF, wear something Metly. I don't have my Mets gear, but I'll be in a brown coat, Cha in a red leather trench, and I'll, um, bring a Mets Christmas ornament.

Unless it's those red pants.

G-Fafif Dec 27 2007 03:59 PM

I'll be wearing the same haunted, far-off look I've been trudging around since September 30.

So Greg - where are the pictures, descriptions and accounts of "My Dinner With Edgy"?

Forgot to hire a photographer for the event, but the Long Island meetup was quite the cult success. Couldn't be beat for the company, the venue, the personal convenience (five minutes from home) and steady stream of Met minutiae that ate up two hours (between bites out of the Pantry Diner's sturdy menu) before we knew it. Good to meet the DCs in the flesh. Always good to find a reason to wear a baseball cap in December.

Just seeing this now .... ummm, don't think I can make it.

smg58 Dec 28 2007 11:41 AM

Sorry I couldn't get there, but in general I'd be up for something like this again in the future.

G-Fafif Dec 28 2007 03:19 PM

Edgy needs to go on tour.
