Northeast Blogger Winter Gathering Update, Part III

Okay everyone, I think we've finally nailed everything down...

From the last update, it seems like the majority of people want to go to Nashua, so Martha's it is. With that in mind, here's the official invitation:




What? Northeast Blogger Winter Gathering.

Who? Any and all bloggers, commenters, readers, lurkers, etc. in the Northeast area, or those passing through, or anyone crazy enough to show up.

When? Saturday, December 27th 2008, starting at 5:00 PM and going until they throw us out.

Where? The "Brew Section" at Martha's Exchange in Nashua, NH.

Why? Folks getting together to enjoy good food, great beer, and superlative company. Bring your appetite, a whistle for wetting, and your best stories to tell.

Attendees:

So... We've got a time. We've got a date. We've got the location. This is officially official.

Now... Anyone else out there want to come along? We've got almost 20 people coming already, and there's lots of room for more folks! For anyone coming from a significant distance, there are several hotels within a couple miles of the Brewery if you'd like to rent a room (did someone say afterparty???) :) I don't drink, so I'm more than happy to shuttle folks back and forth if someone gets a room and wants to sample every beer Martha's has on tap... Also, for anyone coming from eastern MA or southeastern NH, I've got either a six passenger truck or a five passenger car that's got plenty of room for others who might want to car pool.

Timewise, I've got to be back at the homestead by noon the 28th (we're going to see Disney on Ice in Boston as one of the kids' Christmas presents - so no one talk to The Boy or BabyGirl G!), other than that I'm wide open. I've got a feeling this is going to be a really fun time, and what better way to chase away the after-Christmas blahs than by getting together with a rowdy group of weirdos you met on the internet? ;)

Lookin' forward to the 27th!

That is all.

Looks good, I should be there as long as the wife is not working that day or I can get a sitter. . . Looking forward to seeing y'al again. . .

Crap!

Even though I am -- at this moment -- in the frozen northeast, at THAT moment, I will be back in FL, packing my shit for the movers (and holding a birthday party for my son). I will be at the next one, I promise.

Woo-hoo! Be good to see everybody there!

Sounds like fun, but I think that's going to be a tad out of my range.

:(

Regretably, I can't make it, so I hope you will be able to digitally document the event as best you can so those of us who couldn't be there, can be even more jealous of all the fun we missed out on.
Perhaps a topic of discussion might be to arrange a NE Blogger shoot sometime in the spring to which I would bring many guns and much ammo to. Have fun and be safe!

But I want to go...

What's a twelve hour drive in a crappy car in the dead of winter?

There may be hope.

JD & weer'd, it'll be great to see you guys again! (although weer'd, I should be seeing you before then...) :)

Andrew & the_saj, sorry to hear you can't make it. I am almost positive there will be future events...

angus,

I definitely want to make the Northeast Bloggershoot a yearly occurence, that's a definite. I'd like to see a summer shoot and a winter evening - as a minimum!

epi,

You're more than welcome! Heck, we'll getcha a prize (free drinks?!?!) for the "longest distance to attend"! :)
