Congrats bhjazz and Nate it is great to see the power to the community used for something like this

I say False!! The pastrami never fails to satisfy there, although it's been about 5 years since my last visit. Just plowed through some passable mussels at my local Belgian beer bar. Gulden Draak is pure win though.

Pica of dinner Saturday night at Fish on Bleeker right across from the Blind Tiger, my raw bar plate did not photograph as delicious as it tasted. Al's softshell crab that he rated as solid but nothing to write home about we started off with Ipswich clams (damn tasty and oysters wrapped in bacon and covered in a great horseradish sauce.

Mike no kidding around bring chap stick after 1 day Greg, Jude and I were willing to pay $50 for a damn chap stick. It gets ungodly dry in that hotel.

Congrats Dinny I thought we had killer you Friday night glad to see no ill effects on the run! Irish heritage FTW

After a great Friday Al and I stopped off at OMA's NYC showroom to audition their slate plinted Lenco and to check out their staggering horn speakers. Oswaldsmillaudio - Contact We'll have more later on about the visit suffice to say the sound was staggering and Jonathan Weiss was an absolute fantastic host. Maybe the best analog I have heard and the speakers were mind-blowing. He'll be at RMAF if you attend you have to check out his room.

Had a great time last night. It was great to see Al, Jeff, Collin, Dinny and the Slacker. Nice to help celebrate his 21st. We started at Barcade and I like the mellow atmosphere early evening there. They had an event with a so so brewery the previous night so half the taps were Fisherman's brew. I had a Sixpoint Czech style there and a Southern Tier Mochka that were both excellent. We wandered off for food at a BBQ place around the corner. Solid beers on tap, absolutely top tier selection of bourbon and rye and some very good BBQ. Who knew pig cheeks could be that tasty. Spyutin Duyvil was right across the street so we had a few there. Great selection there that is heavy on the Belgian beers. We had a Cascade De Vine that was outstanding and a Stillwater Farmhouse Style beer that was good as well. Thanks to all for a fun night out.

Sorry to hear feel better soon

Not sure the 16 bass is more realistic, maybe more plentiful but not more realistic

I was unaware that manhattan outlawed hipster douchebags. Last visit the population of the Tiger was annoying but it comes with getting older.

Here are a few good dinner options Great BBQ with a nice bourbon selection and good beer Fette Sau BBQ People rave about this burger DuMont - Williamsburg - North Side - Brooklyn, NY Looks like good Middle eastern a bit further out but walkable Oasis - Williamsburg - North Side - Brooklyn, NY

Ari, beer is good for you it helps flush the toxins out of your system. In Ireland it is used in place of Penicillin

Jim, Hope you have a great Birthday [ATTACH=CONFIG]3715[/ATTACH]

Likely is Collin's new nickname so it was declaration ot attendance not a statement of potential to all that will be meeting up, to make this a bit easier I'll be at Barcade at 5pm and will migrate to Spuyten Duyvil around 7-8ish here is a local map showing the G and L stops Yahoo! Maps, Driving Directions, and Traffic Barcade is location A on the map there are plenty of food options in the area as well from a somewhat crappy diner to nice smaller places

So sorry to read this, Todd is one of my favorite people I've met through this hobbby. My condolences go out to him and his family.

please check the link I posted we can meet over at Barcade in Brooklyn, it's off the L and G lines around 5pm or later. Anyone that needs my cell and does not have it just PM me. So far Al, Ari, Jeff, Dinny, Mr Slacker and Me. Mike get your butt up here buddy and call Gene and get him in the black helicopter and on his way. If any one is up for a good burger later in the night we can cab over to ark Slope and get a burger at Prime. I had an absolutely fantastic steak there last month.

Friday night after work maybe start here, Al make your way to 14th st and take the L train Barcade - Reviews - BeerAdvocate we can make our way over here as it is right down the block Spuyten Duyvil - Reviews - BeerAdvocate Then who knows

Well I'm heading to NYC (September 24-25) to hang with my favorite west coast lawyer. Any takers for a few pints at Barcade in Brooklyn

Stretch hope you have a great Birthday

Late to the party but here hoping you had a great Birthday and have a great celebration this weekend

I respect Dan Lavry but think he is off base at least as it pertains to my experience with the Sonic Studio 305 at 192 rate it bests the 96 rate when used as a phono pre amp.

Any Denver locals have an interest in hearing the J-Fetastic (land of a thousand fets) amp. I need a local ship to address for RMAF for my sonic 305 and J-fet amp.

Either Friday night or Saturday should be spent here unless a local knows of a better beer place Falling Rock Taphouse - Denver, Colorado || Denver bars, LODO Bars, Denver night life, LODO night life, Denver bar, LODO bar.
