Tretiak jersey!
Tretiak jersey!
I know! Prederick, I shall lick your chest.
Vladislav Tretyak jersey? Pred continues to blow my mind.
UPDATE!
Ok, so HP is sadly out of the mix. Is there anyone semi-near Maryland that I could hook up with for the rest of the journey? Like I said I really don't feel safe bringing my car into the Big City, nor trust myself in it. I'd get lost in about 1.34 seconds and start crying in the fetal position singing myself to sleep.
I'm not very good in big cities. Always wind up on the opposite end of where I should be.
I'd pay for the trouble, anyway.
I will already be in the city Friday night, but I'm training it in from Jersey. The train station near me (Chatham) has free parking on weekends if you're interested. Round trip into the city is $16.
I'm headed down shortly. Should be there by 4.
Friends, I have an emergency Have to go Massachusets to take charge of a vacation cottage that we rented. They asked me to be there today as opposed to tomorrow, agreed before.
Very sorry! My deep apologies to Pred, who planned the event so meticulously. I'll make it up for you, man!
Yes, good times. I think the defining moment was all of us yelling at our poor racehorse, Goodjer, as he finished something like 3 lengths behind the last horse.
If only you'd had a better 'relationship' with the horse.
How many attendees were there? Who stayed for a dinner?
6 Total attendees (Prederick, Jolly Bill, Zaque, Croaker, Croakers wife, and Dr_Awkward). Four of us, Croaker and his wife had to go home to the kids, stayed for dinner at an Irish pub after hanging around D&B for a while. It finally broke up after the Chelsea - LA game finished, around 11.30 or so.
I took some pictures at the S&T and not having heard any "Do Not Show That Photo" from the attendees -- sorry, Zaque, I failed to recall your handle, so I didn't include you on my PM's -- here's a selected "baker's half-dozen".
Dave&Buster's was pretty dim overall, so most of the pictures were pretty dark. I tried brightening them some (without introducing any obvious artifacts) and they've been reduced twice -- once when I did my cropping and again by flickr as it limits sizes to no more than 1024 pixels across and something vertically.
So, first some pictures around the table.
Clockwise, starting from my empty chair, we have Mrs. Croaker, Dr_Awkward, Jolly Bill, Prederick, and Zaque.

After sufficient drinking, we headed off for some arcade gaming. Here's Prederick and Jolly Bill shooting some innocent wildlife, with Zaque and Mrs. Croaker watching.
Jolly Bill pwns Prederick.
Moving on to a different game, here's Prederick and Zaque playing a pair of "stick your head in a bowl and look silly" FPS games. Dr_Awkward and Jolly Bill watch. Prederick afterward notes that this wasn't the best choice of gaming after consuming a fair amount of alcohol.

Right after this, my wife and I needed to head back home.
Te-diddly-riffic!!
Pred,
I know it's rude to ask a lady her age, but how old are you? I imagined you as being 21 or so, but you look like you're a few years older than that.
Sorry I missed it guys... next time try for a weekday.. I'd have better odds at making it.
I'm sorry I missed it.
God damn Jolly and his goddamn Shotgun.
I'm sorry I missed it.
Yes, yes you are.
On the bright side, I think we made some sort of drunken oath to do this again sometime.
Pred,
You look about 45 in the photo where you're holding the shotgun.
TIP:
Don't hold shotguns. You may not survive the zombie outbreak, but you'll look faaaahbulous.
Are we doing this again?
Hey, "we"? You ain't been there the last time!
Maybe you can try explaining to that guy again how "fresh vag" and "cheap vag" do not ever intersect on any venn diagram anywhere.
I might be in for this!
I'm definitely in this time, organized itinerary or not.
There's nothing else to do around this area but the Retro Museum. There are bars, a place called the Piggy Bank, and it's all within 1/2 mile or so from the Metro North Station, some drive-ins, the Hyde Park and the Overlook, about 45 minutes north of here. That would depend on the line-up of double features showing.
