Maybe we should cut it off at that, John.

So the room isn't over crowded. Your call.

Probably a good idea.

I am hopping on a train Friday morning with Darin. NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH I AM DRIVING IN NYC!!!! It would take 15 years of anger management sessions to prepare me for that. I get ticked at yield signs and up here, pedestrians don't push their luck. Yah, TECHNICALLY they have the right of way, realistically.........not so much. If we can figure out a spot close to you that the train runs by, I'll make them pull over and pick you up. Dress like a hobo and we'll sing Woody and Arlo Guthrie songs all the way there!!! You gotta' show up!! Mark H To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

YUUUUUUUUmmmmmmmmmm

God I wish I was coming. Y all have fun.

No time slot.

Dinner's at 7. Restaurant closes around 1am. We've got the room for the night. Once dinner is over, we can cozy up to the bar or check out some other places in town. To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Still coming?

Holy smokes! It's practically worth flying over there just to meet the folks on the guest list!!

Hey JohnNY

Please add the lovely Jenne to the list. It will be tough leaving 5 children behind-NOT! Going to have to change the name to the "Big Handsome" Can't wait to meet everybody... Where's Mad Dog? Rick

Hey JohnNY

Please add the lovely Jenne to the list. Can't wait to meet everybody... Rick

For those of you on mass transit.

Here's a site that will get you around NYC. Just plug in the start and stop point (95 Avenue A): HopStop.com

Also,

there are no public parking lots in this area. You may find a spot on the street if you're coming by car, but leave yourself enough time, and you'll stand a better chance of finding one if you head east toward Avenues B, C and D. The neighborhood is filled with people and safe for walking around.

Hotels I think may be economical.

Friends of mine that come to NYC every year stay here: Edison Hotel This one is very close: Howard Johnson Express So is this one: Off SoHo Suites If you want to drop some dough, here's where the celebs stay when downtown:

Lodgings

Darin and I will also need lodging. (Unless someone wants to drive us to Maddog's house after the BU. Un-announced of course!) Mark H To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

I hear MadDog's house

is a brisk walk away from the LIRR :) Me and Denise are staying at the Red Roof Inn on 32nd St. We might stick around and do some city stuff on Saturday if my head ain't split open . I hope you and Darin and anyone else are up for some after dinner drinks .

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome news Dan! BTW, Darin and I are bunking with you that night. Murph said it would be ok. Looking forward to this. Mark H To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Can't wait.

Only problem is I have my military weekend starting on Saturday morning. It is going to be a long Saturday.

Joe-

Think "Carbo Loading". It is a form of training :) It will be great to meet you, finally!

Joe

You will have plenty of time to rest up on " 7,8 " and count those tax-free dollars!! . This should be a really great time. I am looking forward to putting some faces to the names I know on here and catching up with some others. "Primus Inter Pares" Darin

Who's Who!!

What a roll call!! It would surely be worth the trip out east for this midwesterner to hang with the cream of the right coast crop. It would be great to meet some new faces and reaquaint with some I haven't seen since Wetstock came to Chicago. I might have attempted a "spur of the moment" but, alas, I'll be on a Hawaii cruise. Since I've never been there I would be lying if I said I'd rather be in New York. I hope you all have a terrific time and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Tom Goebig from the Second City

Big Ugly Italian, NYC Friday, April 20 Here are the details:
Dinner will be at Via Delle Zoccolette.
(VEE-ah DEL-eh zo-co-LEH-teh)
95 Ave A, at the north-west corner of East 6th St.

It will be a family style wine dinner consisting of:
a Prosecco (Italian champagne) reception at 7pm.
Next we will be served trays of bruschetta, toasted bread slices with various toppings and a suitable white wine. Next will be a course of assorted salads and a red Sangiovese. Pasta courses follow with two Italian reds for you to try at the table. Main courses will be a Mediterranean salmon dish and roasted lamb. You don’t have to choose, you can have a serving of either or both. A good Barbera wine will accompany this course. Then we’ll finish up with some sweet Italian dessert wine, such as Moscato or a good grappa (which, if you haven’t had it, tastes something like paint thinner and is best reserved to drink on a dare). The cost is $45 per head tax and tip included. Here’s the rest: Please arrive on time and join us upstairs or arrive earlier and have a not-included drink at the bar. The restaurant can offer this meal to us if we are paying CASH ONLY.
YOUR CREDIT CARDS ARE NO GOOD at this dinner. There are lots of ATMs nearby if you need one later but please show up with $45. Exact change, if possible. If you would like anything else at the bar, it will be extra and you will have to pay for it as it is served to you. I know this next sentence is going to start trouble but, you might be able to pay for extras from the bar with a tab and a credit card at the end of the night but that’s between you and the server. Dinner must be cash at the door. There will be a coat check and the bartender and servers will be taken care of, but if you feel like it is warranted, please feel free to leave your own gratuity on the table or hand it to who you feel deserves it most. So far, I’ve got 35 people on the list. There is room for more, but not many. Now’s the time to RSVP if you think you’d like to but haven’t. I've been assured by the chef that any special dietary needs will be met with pleasure. It’s going to be a great time and I, for one, am looking forward to it.
Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to cover all the bases. What have I left out? To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Myself and Joe Landree are both Air Force (Iraq) vets. Darin

FYI, jalcoplumb

is Joe Landree. Can't wait to meet everyone. Gonna start fasting now so I have room for all the good food. Wish I didn't have to show up at the base on Saturday morning.

Sounds like a really good time hanging out in a great Italian restaurant sipping good wine, and hanging out with quality people. Someone bring a digital camera and post those pictures on the wall, so the not so lucky can see what most of the wallies look like.

I am.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, though. Noel

Mark,

what's your status...meet on the thruway or are you all settled in with your arrangements? Either way is cool gw To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

A gentle reminder.

This is a CASH deal, folks - $45 per person, and a little something extra if you fall in love with your waiter and feel like being nice. There are plenty of ATMs in the neighborhood if you need to use one. See you all Friday.

Map, subway location

Being a big fan of NYC subway travel (having been a fan for 50+ years of: cheap, fast and always a thrill NYC transportation), the restaurant is NOT near any particular train ("subways," for you who've never been). The closest is seven blocks away, that being the 'F' train, which stops at 2nd Ave & E. Houston (pronounced how-stin not hew-stin). If you take that train, you get to walk east two blocks, then north on Avenue 'A' five blocks to the joint. The number '6' train at Astor Place station is about five long blocks away, the 'L' and 'J' are also less than a mile. For those of you who know of Washington Square Park, almost at the intersection of Bleeker and 5th avenue - the Center of The Village, and always a hot spot for drugs, culture and "street shows" of wildly divergent talent levels - the restaurant is almost due east, about 10 long blocks from the Washington Square Monument at 5th Ave.
