I just got off the phone with Cantina Cafe and it is official. Next Saturday, February 25th at 5pm. I have to call him back next Tuesday to set up a menu. Once again this is the list... SHAWN... BBB ... GREGG PLUS 1...ACE...CTCROW...NOTME..N8TUREBOY...CHUCK PLUS 1...BB.. We have 4 spots remaining.. We will be in our own private bar.. I'm really excited to go.. Looking forward to a fun evening!! For the guys who couldn't make it I just wanted to let you know I am making this an annual event.. Also someone brought up a summer BBQ that we could also think about.. Sorry about there only being 15 spots. I honestly didn't think this many would come.. Next year I will make sure its in a spot that holds a lot more..

Shawn, I may be a bit late because my daughter and her husband bought tickets to the UConn game at noon, and they're coming down from Boston, so I'd like to let someone else take my place for dinner and Ill be there later for a drink and to hand out the gifts I got for the guys. I'm really sorry to have to do this but family always comes first.

hookee - couldn't agree more, the men are terrible this year. I know they've had injuries but there are some basic things they don't do, like guard the guy with the ball. But, any time with my daughter is good.
I WILL be at the restaurant, I'll just look for notme laying across a few chairs and match it the photo I printed that he posted on line a few weeks ago. No mistaking him for anyone else. :)

I just wanted to let you all know 3 lucky bowsiters will be walking away with a really cool gift. I don't want to post what I got because I don't want to ruin the surprise but they are really cool. I'm doing a free raffle and ill pick three numbers out of a can. First chosen gets first pick!! And so on.. And just so you all still know there is one spot still available !!

"I don't want to ruin the surprise but they are really cool. I'm doing a free raffle and ill pick three numbers out of a can."
Best follow up line to this should win a prize as well; V, you're the odds on favorite.

Ace - I agree. Anyone picking stuff out of can could never beat "V", he's got too much experience at it. :)

Doesn't sound to bootleg to me!! Wish you could of made it hopefully next time you can join the craziness!!!!

Picking stuff out of a can sounds like a story from V and his German lady friend.

I was coming back from New Brunswick and I had my 210 lb 11 point buck laying in the back of my X boss's truck when we pulled into a Chili's restaurant to eat, and there was a PETA meeting going at the time. We were really surprised no one approached us, but we were expecting something to happen.

Hi All. Looking forward to seeing everybody. Will be at my daughter's track meet earlier that day and just found out her time to race is 2:55. Meet is at Harvard. Fortunately, she runs the 200, so it should be over in < 30 seconds...just hoping they keep the schedule running on time. Map quest says about 2 hours from Harvard to Middletown, so prob gonna be a few min late. And, no. She doesn't go to Harvard. UCONN club team. They grow so fast.... The 2 hour drive each way just for a chance to see her run for 30 sec in a race will be so worth it. Second best part of the day will be sharing a beer with you guys.

N8 - ah yes, the joy of supporting your kids. My daughters participated in track, swim, and dance, so the 30 second swim event or track event was a pain, but the dance recital!!!! OMG that was painful. But, like you said, it was well worth it and wouldn't change a thing. It really matters that you're there.

Where's the live dinner pics? I figured Shawn would have a blind built out of barstools, empty beer bottles, and an old salty waitress by now.
