Title: Venue for slybaldcon '09
Post by: PBurke on April 26, 2009, 12:18:34 AM
i have been thinking about the city club. my feelings are this: it is a very nice club, but nothing to do but sit around and talk/drink. most of the bands are newer rock. (not able to do the '80s cover band) it is sometimes hit and miss with crowd size. or we can just hang at a smaller local bar (sports bar) where we can control music and shoot pool, play darts etc. and drinks would be cheaper. or we can do one night at each. sports bar is about ten minutes from my house. city club is about 45-an hour. i am up for either but i wanna get yall opinions. i do have ideas for sat. afternoon but we could probably cook at either. just need to know what you guys think. getting close enough that i need to make plans final. let me know your opinions guys. we could get rowdier and cut up more at sports bar but there will be more possibility of a bigger crowd (ie.  WOMEN) at city club.

Hi paulie-

My wife and I are game for about anything. Maybe a mixture would be good. Personally I'm more of a Pub type guy...... beer and darts, beer and pool, beer and ....well you get the idea.
That being said... I will be with the lovely Mrs., so girlies aren't my concern.....

I just wish it would hurry and get here.  I am ready to have some fun.


I have to let you all in on a little secret though.  It seems as the Red and Whites are no where to be found.  I can not imagine where they have went.  Like the thread earlier...has your significant other ever lost anything of yours?  This might fall into that catergory.....

Paulie-

Maybe you could post up the names of some decent places to stay that are right where everything will be going on. Walking distance would be nice so I can "over indulge" if I feel the need. ;)

well seeing that i'll probably be the youngest guy there, I don't care where we go.  I'm not a club kinda guy usually but i thought you guys just wanted a little change of scenery.  I'm totally down for a sports bar both nights as long as I can get you guys to play a little beer pong some time..  Oh and I hope there will be bean bags so I can teach you guys a thing or two.

Sounds like ya'll already have this thing planned out pretty well.
Didn't PBurke say there were several hotels within walking distance?  From what I'm reading, there better be!

Oh by the way Sean...you do not get the option of being carried to your room.  You have option A)  Dumpster
or option B) parking curb.

Im up for about anything. 

I just want to tell you all, that I am not going to make an ass of myself this time around.  I have already told PBurke that I still want to do a couple of shots of Patron with him, just because its the right thing to do.  Gotta keep tradition going..right.   Last year I was in no shape to be doing what I did.  It was not fair to some of you to have "baby sat" me.  Dont get me wrong, I am all about having fun and a good time.  Even though it has been almost a year, It still bothers me to what could have happened to me.  What bothered me the most was to hear that the discussion of whether or not to call in an EMT.  Just glad that I actually had someone there who cared.  So If I get passed out drunk this time, its my own fault. Thanks to BaldRob who put up with my sh*t

It's OK Timmay, most all of us have been there at least once.

Pick up, carry on and move forward.  good news is, usually it only happens once!

DONT TELL ME ITS ALL OK!  damnit......you tell me its OK after I getyour ass drunk on the first night! lol

YOU won't get me drunk.  I can do that all by myself.
