Title: Get Together--Which dates are good
Post by: LennG on October 03, 2012, 05:58:31 PM
During the season, the BBH has always tried to have a get together to watch a road game together and either have a sort of tail gate or venture to a sports bar for some eats and then a game.

For the past 2 years our own Tomeee has been gracious enough to offer his house as our place to hold this great event, and, if the dates are right, he has once again offered to host  this year.

Here are our choices for Tomeee's house
Sunday October 14 vs SF with a 4:30 game
Sunday Nov 11 vs Cincy with a 1:00 start.

The date we were originally looking at was October 28 vs Dallas with a 4:30 start. That date is not good for Tomeee, so if we choice that date we will find a centrally located Sports bar that would be convenient for as many as possible.

Tomeee's house is in Yorktown Heights NY.

So these are our choices as we do not want to get later into the season when the weather has a better chance of turning nasty.

Just for any who haven't been to one of these get together. It is great. For the past 2 years we have BBQ and sort of tail gated at Tomeee's and then settled in to watch the game.
In years past we also have gotten a nice crew together in Fishkill, NY at a sports bar and had some brunch and then watched the game. Either way, all who attend have a great time and if you are interested, please indicate which date is preferable, or which you cannot make. We will try and please as many people as we can, but we go the way of the majority.
If we use the Oct 14 date, it is only about 10 days away so we need to know ASAP to help Tomeee along.

This is different from our BBQ in Albany, in that if you want to attend at Tomeee's just bring some food you or others might enjoy, as you might do for a tailgate.

Again, please indicate if you would like to attend and which date is good.

I can't make the Niners game, so Bengals is better.

I am good for either. It might be easier to 'tailgate' for the 49ers game, but so far it seems the Cinncy game is more popular.

I just spoke to my son Wade, who has come to these events for the past few years. He also can not make next week. After that he is flexible.

It looks like the SF game isn't going to work out. Like the camp BBQ perhaps we can just start a head count of who can meet for each game. If your flexible put your name in for more than one.

Dallas 10/28 - I cannot make this one.
Bengals 11/11 - I am good for this and would offer my house as a potential spot.
Redskins 12/3 - Monday night is no good for me

I'm sold on the Bengals game.

  So it seems as it is the Bengals game by unanimous vote.

All the regulars are in so who else can make it??

This is an outstanding afternoon and a great chance to meet some of the guys first hand.

If Tommee is still OK with this, we will put out the details soon.

We will probably do a cookout and watch the Giants annihilate the Bengals.

Good time for all, so why don;t you join us.

Tommee's place is in Yorktown Heights NY.
