I'm going to regret the shit out of that, but on the bright side, you kids will probably be blessed with the most amazing biscuits known to mankind.

**BRENT**

Indeed.

It doesn't matter.  Brent wouldn't be able to get a biscuit at anywhere.

In addition to getting the best biscuit Brent can't get, some more food for thought ...

There is a good chance I'm only coming up for the day, or perhaps the day and one night, as I don't really feel like putting my kitties in the kitteh hotel, and they were fine when I left them alone for 36 hours on New Year's.  What would be best, come up mid-day on Saturday, leave first thing Sunday?

I believe the rough plan is to go on a crazy HC adventure all of Saturday, try not to have too bad of a hangover that night into Sunday morning, when we actually go to the meet. So if you actually want to go to the meet then leaving later in the afternoon or evening Sunday would be best. 

It's probably obvious to most that I won't be able to attend this gathering. 

Have a fantastic time, and post lots of pics for the vicarious crew.

Meet?

Alright, will plan on something like mid-day Saturday to mid-day Sunday.

Now that it is confirmed that Brent will not be attending, I guess I can look into making this trip myself.

Jeff awesome news! 

 

Not sure where everyone's head is at but can we get a roll call for Saturday and Sunday? 

For Saturday I was thinking we could make a pilgrimage to Other Half Brewing in Carrol Gardens Brooklyn. This is a must for a visit to NYC as they make some of the best IPAs and some pretty great stouts as well. They open at noon and the tasting room proper is tiny and fills quickly. If there is a can release that day it does compound the crowding. 

I'd suggest everyone grab some late breakfast/brunch then plan on being at Other Half at 11:30 or 11:45. If we do not grab a spot in the starting room we can stand and chat and taste their beers in the brewery. Not a bad option but it is open and SRO in that space.Those staying in NYC can either meet up before hand or meet at Other Hand. We'll need to take the F train to the Smith and 9th street stop. Fun fact this is the highest elevation stop in the NYC Subway. http://www.otherhalfbrewing.com

 

Prime Meats is a short walk from Other Half and could be a great stop for a burger, steak or german sausage. Pretty popular place but at 2-3 o'clock might not be too crowded. http://www.frankspm.com/menuBrunch.html

 

 

 

i'm a maybe right now

just been avoiding posting

I was looking at train tickets -- would it be possible for me to take the subway to wherever you guys are, from Penn Station, once my Amtrak train pulls in?  Looks like my most likely shot is early afternoon, after the festivities get started.  Sorry, forgot how long the train ride is (4-5 hours +).

And if so, who wants to be the designated textee?  mypasswordis?

 

Better find someone else.  He'll be face down drunk by then.

Hehe I'm gonna keep it low key this time, Ken. Still never gotten a hangover before, and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible.

If you didn't get a hangover at Chicago CanJam, I don't see how you'd ever get one.

Age plays a major role in hangovers. He was pretty young in 2010. 

Age, metabolism, what you ate, how much water you drank, what drugs one is on...

It looks like we will be rolling in around midnight on Friday due to work crap and staying at the Marquis. Maybe I will run into some of you early Saturday morning.

Good to hear, Jeff!  It seems that Other Half starts can sales even earlier on Saturday morning so some of us idiots might be out there by 10:00am.  People can catch up along the way for food and/or drink stops.  Prime Meats sounds like a great second stop of the day, JP!

shit forgot about the early start for can sales at Other Half, thanks for bringing that up! Well at least there is a few places in Carrol Gardens (Brooklyn) to grab a coffee or b-fast. Will really need to pace myself if we start early! 

If you didn't get a hangover at Chicago CanJam, I don't see how you'd ever get one.

Gawd, I still remember how wasted he was for KG's scotch "tasting" at CanJam Chicago.

If you didn't get a hangover from that...

EDIT: added smiley as I didn't intend this to sound harsh at all

I was very successful at being hung over that Sunday. Definitely the worst of my life, before or since.

Tickets purchased.  We are arriving late Friday night, hopefully before everyone crashes, and leaving Sunday night.  

I do not think I will be going to the meet as I think I have all the headphone gear I need.

Well 1, 2, 3 and I am now out of this event. I blame Trump.
