Bruins - Celebrating 75 Years” Clark Booth

I wish I could come out to meet you guys, but given that it’s a 3 hour drive for me (without traffic) and I have an 8 AM class on Friday…not good.  If only this were on a Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday night.

OK, you can move me to a definite.

MHS, if you wind up coming, I’ll take L.A. Confidential and Batting off your hands.  I suppose if any of those Star Wars books are surprisingly good, I’d take them as well.  (Yeah, I know there are better things on there, it’s just what I’m likely to actually read.)  I have the Thrawn trilogy already, though.

Longtime lurker here. Can I come by on Thursday also? Is the Meet-Up at Tonic, on Seventh Ave.?

You may not. You must stand outside and wait for our signal.

Yes, yes it is.

Longtime lurker here. Can I come by on Thursday also? Is the Meet-Up at Tonic, on Seventh Ave.?

Yes, yes it is.

And have just sort-of accepted 6:30 as a time? I’ve met most of the people coming, but for those who’ve not, we shouldn’t be hard to spot as a group, even in a sports bar.

My hair will act as a beacon unto the righteous. I will probably even be there a bit early.

I’ll be there for 6.30, also possibly earlier depending on what I’ve had to do during the day. Shaved head, hoop earring and dodgy Zapata ‘tache…

I’m picturing Rob Halford.

More Italian. Although David Blaine (ick) has been mentioned.

*Breaking the law, breaking the law!*

I may visit your fair city for a SABR regional Valentine’s Day afternoon. 

Agenda

Some of the later stuff, especially Pete Hill, intrigues me.

I shall be there: Pinstripe suit, blue shirt, purple tie, holding a drink.

Is this meet up still a go?

Nevermind. I see that it is! Purple tie? That should ward off the psychos!

Shooty is glad he’s not Meaghan Cheung - 05 February 2009 10:19 PM

Is this meet up still a go?

I assume so, no one has given me any reason to think otherwise, so I will be there.

I’ll be there. I just didn’t want to be the only one there. It’s the time of the year when you end up watching PTI without the sound on if you’re at a bar alone. #### that! I don’t like that show WITH sound. It beats Sky sports news without the sound, I guess. Damn Limey-wannabe bars.

You ####### people, I get grief for the pink shirt, grief for the purple tie. Not a fashionable one among you.

Wait until you see me. I am so, so not fashionable today.

I’m not fashionable, but I am sporting a pink shirt and purplish tie today.  I am meeting colleagues for drinks at 7 p.m. so I should arrive after 8 p.m.

A good time had by all, as always.

A good time had by all, as always.

Sorry I had to bail early. I only see the wife a couple evenings a week.

And, now, on to the next one and the one after that. Christopher Dial will be in town Tuesday afternoon (the 10th) and there’s some talk of something Saturday afternoon/evening (the 14th).
