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? January 2nd, 2010. Figure we get together around 6 and leave when they kick us out...
Where? Jillian's Billiards in Manchester, NH.
UPDATE: I just talked to the Events Manager at Jillian's. We are "penciled in" for Saturday, January 2nd at 6PM; they will reserve an area for a group of ~ 20-25 people and a couple of billiard tables for us. She recommended that we pre-order appetizers before the 2nd so that they can have things ready; we should take a look at the menu and get an order ready.
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.

And lastly, as mentioned previously, Manchester Firing Line is available nearby if folks would like to meet at a range for some shootie goodness before the event. For those who are interesting, they do rent full-auto weaponry. If anyone's interested, I'll appoint my blogson Borepatch as the honorary rep for MFL, seeing as he's pretty familiar with the location...
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but after Christmas with a couple rowdy kids I could use an adult night out!
That is all.

OK, we're booking a room @ the nearby Hilton http://hiltongardeninn.hilton.com if anyone else is looking for a place to stay. Not the cheapest ($89), but it looks close and has free parking and wifi. I'm also planning on breakfast Sunday at the Arrow Diner, as I've been told it's a must. Anyone cares to join is welcome. Can't wait!
"...an adult night out!"
With THAT crew?
What time does this soiree start?
I think the Mrs. & I are in.
Ooh, good question DT.
I think 6 is a good time to start. And thanks for reminding me - I need to call Jillians...
I'm in for sure. What time?
I am definitely in. Change my status. Jillians is 15 minutes from my house.
Wow -- next Saturday! Looking forward to seeing some familiar folks again from the shoot. I think I will leave some of the new toys at home, are there some who plan to visit the Manchester Firing Line beforehand?
Borepatch,
What's the skinny on MFL ? Ive never been to a "pay to blast" range.
Gun/Ammo restrictions, or anything we should be aware of ahead of time?
(still not positive that I'll make MFL)
Anything under 2000 FPS is good to go(slugs only in shotguns). You can shoot certain rifle calibers but you have to buy frangible ammo from them.

That would be a long-ass drive for me to get to, since I'd be coming back up from Virginia that day.
Jay,
Looks like I can make it. Got room for a reader?
