There will be a Dinner on Friday night, August 3rd and Saturday Night, August 4th for those members who will be in Albany on those dates.
The BBQ at George's House will be on Sunday August 5th. Here is the attendance list so far for the Sunday BBQ. We can edit this list as more confirm. Please let me know if there are any mistakes as we have to plan food based on the amount of folks attending.:
Vette-2, Weeze-3, MightyGiants-1, PresidentRick-2, GiantsGuy-1, JimV-4, MurderHill-1, Todge-1, Jaime-1,
Webster29-4, LennG-2, ps11yat14-2, BobinPa-1
So far it looks like 25 adults.
Although I won't get there in time for the Friday practice, I would like to attend both the Friday and Saturday evening events, so when you decide where and when, let me know. I'm not a fussy eater, so whatever you select will be fine. Also, any time is ok. I'll be there no later than 3:00 PM on Friday. It would help to have addresses for both sites if possible (for my GPS). Thanks.

Usually, we don't decide where we're going for dinner until after the practice when we all get together & decide. I assume that's how we'll do it this time. Am I right?
I remember a few years ago we decided ahead of time, and it was decided that we would meet at the Barnsider off of Wolf Rd. That was the year Spags was there having dinner with his wife and Jesse Armstead. That was pretty cool.
We can exchange cell numbers via PM. Most of us have each others phone #'s, but anyone who needs mine let me know.
I'm good for the Barnsider Friday night.
Barnsider was a good date place back in the day [60's-70's. We always debated how to spell and pronounce it. There were many variations; all but one of them wrong.
oko so barnsider it is for friday night? ok ill be calling your cell phone firday afternoon to get a time. if thatss ok with you.
hey that japanese joint we went to couple years ago still open? id vote for that place for saturday night. but ill go with the crowd.
hey we are getting so organized its scary.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend. I have to be in PA on the 12th for my grandmothers 90th birthday and my brothers wedding on the 17th.
I could not make the 32 hour drive (there and back) in a 3 day weekend over the 3rd and 4th without another driver and I have not been able to track one down. Although crazyier things have happened I would certainly appear as though I will not be attending this year.
Getting to meet all of those not present at last years will now have to wait for another year.
Keep Weeze in line.
I am may try to find a weekend when the Rangers and Giants play home games on the same weekend and head out then, a tailgate might not be unheard of.
im sorry you cant make it whales. i guess ill have to torture LENN that weekend

It would have been nice to join you in doing so.
Sounds like Elizabeth would like to head on down to FLA to go to Disney and Universal, so raising hell in Port Charlotte might be a Spring 2013 reality. Ild like to catch a gator with a grappling hook.
We can reenact Sherman's March to the Sea for old time sake.
BTW -Ill pm you about shipping numbers for Port Charlotte to Wisconsin?
Please Chris, make it. send me a plane ticket and I'll drive you down there.
To be tortured by Weeze for even a day is just too much to bare. Where is EdS when we need sometone to be tortured??
whales, sorry u can't make the scene. Hopefully another time...

A 32 hour drive for a weekend is above and beyond. We'll catch you sometime.
Assuming it's going to be the Barnsider on Friday night, I have found the following address: 480 Sand Creek Road, Albany, NY 12205.
If this site is chosen, please confirm the above address and let me know what time to be there. Thanks.
Bob in PA
i just got a email from my brother. seems my goddaughter, husbands and two little ones want to join us for dinner on friday night. they cannot make the picnic. so if we could agree on the barnsider and a approxiamate time that would certainly help me out.
thanks
weeze
Bob, that is indeed the address for the Barnsider. Sand Creek Rd is off of Wolf Rd.
However, I hope I didn't give the impression that I was deciding where dinner would be Friday night. In response to a post by Jim that the dinner location be decided at practice, I merely pointed out that a few years ago we pre-determined where dinner was going to be so any of those who would be late [maybe even not at practice] would know where to meet and what time.
Rich, Ed, Lenn etc. need to agree on where the dinner will take place.
My apologies if I confused the situation.
Since some are not going to practice on Friday, we should decide on dinner arraignments now.
Who is going to Friday night dinner and how many? Quote and add your names.
Is everyone ok with the Barnsider at 6PM? It doesn't matter to me where we go.

Bob in PA
GiantsGuy: You didn't confuse me. I know y'all are still deciding. I'm just trying to stay on top any possibility that is mentioned. I've never been to Albany and will be relying on a GPS to get around. Thanks.
Bob in PA

That's 13. .
There's a chance I might have two more for the Barnsider on Friday.
OK, change of plans on my end. I just got my schedule for this weekend and I have no games on Saturday, so I gave my Friday nite game back and I will be coming up on Friday spending the weekend and the Mrs (Doris) will be joining me. So add two more for dinner on Friday nite and Saturday nite and one more for the BBQ.
As I said, we will be bringing our own food for the BBQ, and I am already trying to talk the Mrs into trying Weeze's whatever he calls them now, saying that Weeze took the Rabbinical test and he koshered the fish he is bringing.
Unless I missed it, are we meeting up before practice and going in as a group, finding each other at practice or just doing our own thing and meeting for dinner??
I figure I should be up at camp by about 12:30 or so. Any plans for this.
If I have this right, the Barnsider at 6:00. I have the address that was posted. My GPS isn't working that well, so are there general directions to the place. Is it off of a main road, or cross street??

That's 15 .
I made a reservation for 15 for Friday night 6PM at the Barnsider. I can add more to this in advance if anyone else decides to come. It's reserved under the BigBlueHuddle. I am the only one who can alter this reservation as per my instructions to the Barnsider.
http://www.barnsiderrestaurant.com (http://www.barnsiderrestaurant.com)
Lenny, why don't we meet at the dutch quad where we always meet. Corner of the parking lot before the sidewalk to the facility. We should all try to be there by 12:30. I'll be leaving my house at 9am from NJ with Linda and Jaime. We should be in the lot by noon the latest.
Ed, if you're talking about Friday, lenny won't be up. I'll be coming over & will try to get to the quad by 1230. OK?

Not sure just yet. We were shooting for it, but something may have come up that we may just get there for dinner Friday, and then the rest of the weekend.
we will definately be there for dinner. Ed, Jim, can you PM me your cell phone numbers so I can be in touch.
Ed, my BAD about Lenny. :surrender: But, hopefully, there may be two more.
We will be coming up Friday, but more than likely will not make it to camp that day. We should be arriving in Albany about 5:00, so both myself and Doris will be there for dinner. If we will be a bit late, I'll call, but we will definitely be there for dinner.
Heading to Albany is a few minutes. Not sure if we'll get there in time for practice, but the point of this trip is to meet up with my awesome BBH friends. Will see several at the Barnsider tonight!!!
Bill
Bill: have a safe trip down.
We are leaving Sunday around 6am. Looking forward to meeting you at the bbq.
Also Bill
Paul & I are leaving in a little less than an hour. See you all this afternoon!
