Hi everyone! Speak up here if you would like to get together with the group for this game on Sunday November 7th at 4 pm.
We need to also know where you are coming from so that we can pick a place that is within traveling distance of most members. You can bring whomever you like. We get the tab and split it by the number of attendees including tip.
We have done Fishkill and Menlo Park in the past.
count me in for where ever you decide
Count me in & likely Resiliency (Mark) on your as of yet undetermined rendezvous location for Seattle game.
I'm in and will be traveling from northern Westchester County.
Coming from Montclair NJ.

I planned to be there, but I just found out that my sister is having her daughter's christening that day. I have uncles duties to attend to. Sorry everyone. Enjoy the day.
I'll be there. Coming from Westchester like Tom.
Since I live out here I was planning on attending this game with my wife & kid...unfortunately, I'm still unemployed & not sure I will be able to attend.
Also suffered a set back in my health last week, but I'm still hoping.
C U There hopefully...

I'll be there, probably coming from Spence Mass.................IE provided Huff, Len and Vette don't stick me with their portion of the check. It wasn't funny the first time but it's really getting ugly now.
I just see those guys, since the check's split equally, they'll be ordering champagne and steak.

Hope you are feeling better. A few more Giants wins can do wonders to make people feel good.
Kidding aside, hope everything works out OK, and you are feeling better real soon. :yes: :yes: :yes:
Coming from Troy, NY [upstate] !!
I'm out, I'll be in Charlottesville VA with my daughter who just started grad school.
I'm going to be a late decision on this, so don't take my location into account when you're making plans. There's a good chance I'm going to be helping host an event that afternoon and wouldn't be able to make it at 4:00
We have 9 that plan on attending and 2 extra maybe.
Out of the 9;
4- NJ
1- LI, NY
2- W/C, NY
1- Troy, NY
1- Mass.
So, where would you all like to meet up? Seems like Fishkill or Westchester county in White Plains are the most central locations.
Joey PM'd me and I think he would be coming from Penn, but not sure where in Penn., north or south.
One of my sons [Brad] may be coming with me. I honestly don't care where. Just give me a street adress and town name and in my GPS it goes. See you there !!!
Kevin, if you are going and are around, would be happy to have you travel with us. Just let me know.
Hoist one for me.........
I wish I could make it, but G-Girl and I have a date with a wet saw for that weekend.
Hoist one for me.
pagan43
i guess albany is out eh?
Resiliency is a GO, his words "Kool".
Has anyone come with a place as of yet??
I think we should vote on it. First and second choice.
Just remember it is a 4 o'clock start. It is very likely we won't be able to get a table until the 1 o'clock crowd clears out which depending on the early games may not be until 4:30 or 5. With the list as it stands know I have enough room at my house.
So my two choices are: My house or White Plains.
I actually love the idea of sitting around a TV and shooting the breeze instead of sitting around a table and mostly talking to whomever is sitting to your left or right. The whole "waiting for the 1pm crowd to thin out" thing is also unappealing, mostly because I doubt we'll be able to get a table.
Tomeee, if you're up for hosting, I think a potluck/BYOB afternoon would be great.
As I said several times, I don't care where we go, so let's decide on something so I can make plans. My son usually comes also, but because we haven't decided anything as of yet, I haven't even mention it to him. Tommee's house, my house, Joe's Bar and Grill, I don't go for the food, just for the company.
Hey, if we do Tommee's house, why not make it a tailgate also. If there is room, we get the food out of the way pre game and then settle in to watch us beat the Hawks
I'll go with the group, I don't care if I'm going to Albany.
Tomeee is in Albany?
No I'm in northern westchester so far with one vote and 2 don't cares. I'm flexible as well lets hear from the rest who commited.
I can swing that, I think it's like 45-60 minutes from Montclair.
Albany? Ehh.... not so much.
You can count me in.

I'm in Bergen County, so if you like we can drive in together.
That's cool. I think MG and Lenn live near me as well.
MG yes, Len no. He's from the Island. We could all meet at the Park and Ride in Montvale on the GSP.

tomeee, by any chance are you anywhere neare Greenwood Lake???? [I believe it's in the Monroe/Woodbury area]. In any event, I don't care where we go but I do agree that getting a table for all of us is going to be difficult for a late game. All I need is a street and city address for my GPS and I'm all set.
Plus, I'd like to bring hot Italian sausages, rolls and a case of beer [any preferences?].
Thanks.
If the consensus is my house that is great. I will pm the street address to those attending. Please don't post my address on the main board. I think Lenn had a great suggestion with doing a tailgate where we eat before the game and get the food out of the way and can focus on the game. It may be a little chilly but I do have a grill and tables out back. We can do the tailgate thing two ways grilling which will require more time or prepared food which we just wolf down prior to the game. I'm fine either way and suggest either 2pm for the grill option or 3pm for the prepared food.
I am in Yorktown Heights very near the taconic pkwy. It is about 50 minutes without traffic from the Meadowlands. Greenwood lake is on the NJ side of the hudson. Yorktown heights is in northern westchester on the NY City side of the hudson. .
We are four days away so lets get a final head count and input on the time / food preferences. Please no more I don't cares let finalize the plans.
My vote is for the 2pm start. Relax, eat, have the 1pm game in the background and then settle into the Giants game.
I'd like to bring wings. I'll marinate them and pre-bake them so you can toss 'em on the grill to heat up/smoke up.
I'm fine with your house Tommy, thanks for being so kind as to offer. I'll bring Burgers. Chicken and Beef with rolls. I don't want to stick you with too much food, I think 8 of each is enough. Sound about right?
I think a head count by tomorrow would be good so we know how much food to prepare.
This is what we have so far:
Tomeee
Lenny
Ed
Rich
Unimachi (Hanson)
Jaime
Mark
George
Brad
Frank
Steve (The Grizz)
Jennifer Aniston
?? Unconfirmed:
Kevin
Lenny's son
Phil Simms
Brad Pitt
Mike Tyson
Myself & Mark vote for tomeee's 2:00 pm tailgate rendezvous. Spoke to Mike Tyson, he'll be a game time decision (some legal matter re; bein' permanently barred from N.Y. ?)
Brad said he'll only show if Angelina can accompany him. i of course said "No way!"
Ed, how bout u throw out a quick check list?
I'll leave that to Tomeee.
I'll try and get in touch with my son tonite and hopefully let you know tomorrow.
Tommee
Can you PM me specific directions. What major roads are you near??
Lenn it is off the taconic parkway in yorktown heights, n.y.
I will pm everyone attending with the street address in the next day or two once the list is finalized. I am lazy and only one to send one pm.
Ok here is the list as it stands and what people are bringing. Sound like we have a lot of food already. Please byob it is too hard to anticipate what every one prefers. I will have beer, water, seltzer, coffee for after the game and coolers filled with ice. I will do all the paper stuff and condiments (plates, cups, ketchup mustard...). Based on the final list I will also have on hand plenty of backup food just in case no one will leave hungry. Just getting the groug together is great this is a summary list. Please don't feel obligated to bring something or we will wind up with more food than we can eat.
Tomeee - see above
Lenny - Chips Humus and Kosher burgers
Ed - Burgers, ckicken and beef with rolls
Rich - Cheese Crackers and Veggie Platter
Unimachi (Hanson) - wings
Jaime - dessert
Mark - dessert
George - Italian Sausage
Brad
Frank
Steve (The Grizz)
I plan on doing the tailgate in the backyard around the grill. It may be a little chilly dress warm. I will probably have a fire going (I have a one of those portable metal outside fire pits).
I'll bring some chips and some Hummus
Since I can't eat the meat that other's bring (we keep Kosher), I have some turkey burgers that I'll bring
I'll bring cheese and crackers and a veggie platter
Check your pm for address and directions.
pm me if you have questions.
Tom, Mark & myself will bring dessert.
Thank u so much for your hospitality. So kool of u to have us rendezvous @ your home.
Is there a final head count yet?

Got it, thanks Tomeee. I am assuming it's a 2PM 'backyard tailgate' start time. I will also bring a case of beer and my son Brad will also be accompanying me. [not to be confused with the Brad who wants to bring Angolina.]
I am going to assume from upstate NY we are talking at least a 2-1/2 hour drive down the Taconic.
This is very generous of you to offer your home for this get together. Thank you !!!! =D>
Gosh, guys. I wish I lived close enough to attend. Have a beer for me. And, let's hope we get a W!
I'll be there. I live only 5 minutes from tomeee. If I don't make then I will not be able to show my face.
Tomeee:
I'll bring ribs if it's OK and it's not to much food.
Add another one to the guest list, my son will be there with me.
Thanks for the directions Tommee, and also, thanks for the use of your home and yard.
Like Jimv said, I wish we were closer and could make it to Tomeees. I think about you guys (and gals) on Sundays when I know you are at the stadium having your tailgate party. Have a great time!!!
Bill
The head count looks like it is 13 a lucky number for Italians.
I have not had confirmation from Grizz and I may have one more family member.
2pm - Remember to set your clocks back.
The menu looks great. :yes:

Wow, this sounds like a great time with a great group -- I wish I could make it, but my plans are STILL up in the air and probably will be until Saturday night. :boooo:
I work with a couple of organizations that advocate for peace in central Africa, and am in the middle of trying to find local hosts to put up a group of 6 young people traveling all over the northeast and Canada giving presentations on behalf of Invisible Children. As it stands right now, they're arriving in the Albany area on Saturday night and I've only managed to find them accommodations for Monday night (that'd be at my little place, haha, Tuesday morning should be interesting with one bathroom & ten people needing to be out the door by 8:30).
If something drops today or tomorrow and I get all these arrangements made, can I change my mind and join you as a late addition? I promise I'd bring something good to add to the menu. :)
PS - George, thanks for the ride offer!
Kevin,
I sent you the info in a pm. There is always room for one more. No need to plan if you can make it just show up.
I think there will be plenty of food...
Damn - wish I could be there.
have a great time watching us destroy those turkeys........
:ok:
Give us some highlights in the chat room.....
Damn - wish I could be there.
_____________
add me to that list but my drive to jersey is over 10 hours , and i am making that drive next weekend for the cowgirls game
it is very nice of tomeee to open his house to the group....im sure it will be a blast for all attending.....have fun guys....go Giants!!!!!
Like I told Ed, Frank, Rich and all the others at the last tailgate, I wish I live in NJ. Enjoy your sunday!
Bleeder, copy that. I'm anticipating serious calorie overload...
Sausages and peppers all cooked-sweet and spicy mustard to accompany [tomeee, hope there will be enough room on the grill to heat them up a bit]... a case of Bud Light is in the cooler on ice ... meeting up with great people .. now, if the Giants win the game it will be a perfect day.
Looks like I'm skipping breakfast.
This is looking like an event which will pass into legend.......
10 years from now, 'Remember when we all met a Tomees's and the Giants Basted the Seahawks?"
Man, do I wish I could have made it...the weekend was just too crazy here. Great group, great menu, and the Giants running away in a laugher. You guys must be having a blast. =D>
It was a great time had by all. Far better being in Tomeee's large living room where we were able to talk to each other instead of just the person next to us.
Big thanks and a thumbs up to Tomeee for his hospitality!
I've been awake for just two hours and already hit the head three times. I was stuffed to the gills at Tomeee's -- it was like a trial run for Thanksgiving.
Uh, Uni - thanks for sharing.
I think.
It was great to share the day with my son, good friends and new friends. Great bunch of guys for sure.
Tomeee, again, to you and your family for opening your home to us. What great hospitality. Thank you.
Tom, thanks so much for hosting the event. The smell of great food hit us as soon as we got out of our car. What a feast! Great camaraderie. The portable fireplace was perfect.
Numerous comments by the Gang would have made the writers for Saturday Night Live jealous. Guess we noodled out how to solve the crowd noise....
The "Lets go Giants" chant late in the game was pretty funny.
