OK - here is the whose coming and what to bring thread for the Second Annual “Striped-Bass.com Too Friekin’ Cold to Fish Night” :D . For those that don't know, the Too Friekin Cold to Fish Nite is an awesome party / fundraiser that keeps the site open and free. We did it last year and it was a true blast by all that participated. It also kept the site up and running with no annoying popup ads and :spam: :D . Door tickets and Raffle table proceeds from that on night go a LONG way to run the site for most of a year (thanks again for that :D ). It's also a great way to reduce the cabin fever that has a death grip on many come late winter.

As stated in the other thread - we have a hall in Fairhaven, Ma (not CT Chris :rollem: ) that is across the street from a Holiday Inn (highly recommended). What we do is try to get people to bring a dinner dish, desert, an appetizer, or condiments / paper & plastic (forks & knives).

We set up a buffet style and let people, well, buffet...

The Bar is adjacent to the hall so drinks are available if anyone wants to imbibe.

Entertainment last year had Rappin' Mikey dancing for us but suffering from Lack-o-knee will likely save us this year :) ... Seriously, working on how we'll do entertainment.

We will have a raffle table - hopefully as good or better than last year (and that kicked arse!)

I have a small treat to show off for people :hihi:

I don't know if Fish_Eye is even in town for another show but I'll call him this week - but does anyone have another suggestion??

Tickets will be like last year, $10 single or per legit couple (significant others, not fishin' buddies :rollem: :laughs: )

So whose going and what will you bring? Suggestions? Comments?

1) Me & the Bride a/k/a TheBetterHalf - will bring Shepards Pie & Chicken Pot Pie

I am honored to be the first one to reply! My wife makes a killer stir fried noodle with pork and green onions. I asked her if she'd be willing to cook up a bunch and she said sure.
I'm not sure if she will be joining me or not, she'll be 7 mos pregnant then and not too excited about going out.
Im definatley in!:happy:

Mr link, Mrs.link , Jr link

We will bring beef and chicken enchaladas (SP?)

I'll bring a mack salad.(big)

I will be there and will bring the scollop casserole like last year:D With the way the site has grown and the numbers that have said they want to come you should get your tickets NOW as the hall only holds 200 I think. (John I will have the number for you today some time)

Thanks Greg :D

The wife and I will bring brownies, Mrs. May's Brownies (Habs :))
Maybe I can think of something else too.

I'm comin...I'll bring Chicken & Andouille Jambalaya

I'm in and I think my girlfriend may join me either way.. I'll bring something to eat and a few plugs to raffle off as well.

-DAve

I think it will be me , Smokey and Dave L. I have no idea what to bring yet!

I will be there, maybe the girlie, too.
I'll probably be making the Chicken, Broccoli, and Penne with the white truffle oil again.
Only shortcoming we had last year was lack of plates, silver and napkins (just as important as the food).
Later,
Bomba

I could bring some plates , cutlery , napkins , cups . Ill bring enough for 200 . Ill be coming alone but will be meeting up with some friends , family and scoundrels !

Count me in. I don't know but I'll get the Mrs. to make something good. It's all good though. That's why my waistline looks like it does.:laugha:

My wife and I will be there again. :kewl:

Probably bringing a dessert.

Huneter's aaaand fisher's chillie:af::bshake::af:

Talked to one of my bosses and the cabin and he said he will make something nice up for me to bring.

John -

I'm gonna try to attend, but I don't think Mrs. Angler will wanna go - I may bring a mystery guest, but it certainly wouldn't be under the couple ruling. :laughs:

If I do come I'll bring some of Uncle Ed's Extra Dry Blackfish chowder (that would be titog soup to you MA folks) :hihi: and some plastic bowls.

Either way I will put something together for ya to raffle for the site and I'll talk to ya about it when I see ya at the NCSWFC meeting this Thursday nite.

Man You guys are makin me Friggin Hungry...I'd like to go but My son has his pinewood derby that day...and since I'm the one running it I can't exactly bow out for the clean-up.

I would be interested in buying some raffle tickets if thats allowed.

I'll be there. JohnR, just keep me away from the mic this year.

I thought I already did this?

I will be there, not sure about the wife?

I will think of something to bring and if I cant the wife will just have to make her pasta salad for me again!

I was at the board meeting that night to ensure they approved me but by the time I left it was after 10 when I got to Barrington and things looked long closed by then - I intended to crash the party :D ... I heard that Fisheye and Charlie Soares really outdid themselves with a 1st class show

I'm looking forward to this event, what better way to feast among the knights of fishermen.

Send me the details on how to obtain these tickets or do I just show up at the door and purchase the ticket(s) there?

Hi John,

I will be bringing the sound system again this year & will hire armed gaurds to keep rappin mikey off the mic!... :laughs:

I've been working on some new material to:crying:

John,

should I call my buddy Charlie Moore ?

He could give us a lecture on a lot of different topics from surf to boat.

:p

Yeah!

We can call this event the "Too Friekin Cold Too Fish, So Beat The Piss Out Of Charlie Moore Night "...

Did you see this goon's bluefish "mastery" last evening? :laughs:

You have asked the correct question Grasshopper! :D

NJ's going to be represented! I'll figure out some foodie that will travel. Please go with the name tag suggestion, otherwise I won't know anyone. Looking forward to seeing you all in the flesh.

Be sure to wear your limited edition SB Logo Cap! :D

I sure will...if I get it in time.

YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT YET?...

C'mon John!...

Ok BC and I are in, gonna stay at the hotel also, will call and make reservations today or tomorrow. John, we will bring some goodies for the raffle table for ya, also probably bring some bambi bologna/sausage and cheese tray, and if ya need anything else just let us know!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

Jimbo & Bliz - have not sent it out yet as I started new job next day and haven't been online much or by Post Office - but it will go out soon :D (unless I ensure reciept by hand delivering it :eek: )


OK - Tickets - still trying to confirm entertainment - last year's entertainment is out of town right now but I'll try to see if he's available (he has new schtuff :drool: ). If not I have something else Fishing in mind :hihi:

John, I have an idea for some of the entertainment.

I have a video Vinyardblues got me that has some old movies on surfcasting and fishing for stripers from 1946, shows equipment, catching cows, beach buggy of the era, footage of Montauk and Cuttyhunk and Coot Hall. Classic stuff, I could bring a 32" tv and a DVD/VCR along if you want. The movies are kinda short, but really unique.
Let me know.

We could run a line out from the TV and patch it through the sound system ... :D

Great idea Slip! :)

Are tickets available at the door or do you have to buy them in advance?

Tickets will soon be available to buy in advance. If they sell out there might not be any at the door. Last year we had a few available at the door...

Should have an answer by Tuesday as tomorrow I should be able to confirm the Entertainment :D

John, I am planning to attend. I will bring some plates, forks spoons ect...

john ill be there .maybe the wife too. ill bring a dish. and stuff for the raffle

Maybe that's a good thing. I shudder to think of you in that Janet Jackson tear-away bustier with Rick Bomba doing his Justin Timberlake impression.

hes a baldy ! no hair to grab on to .

You've got plenty for the both of us...
At least in the back!
Oh, these Chris vs. Rick hair jokes, or lack thereof never get old!
I'll see you in two weeks my friend, hopefully unemployed at the time and ready to make the pilgramadge down to the 'Woods afterward!
Later,
Rick:D :D :D :D

I'll be there with the Bride and Chicken Wings

I think I have some smoked bluefish & bass I could part with. :)

How are we keeping the drinks cold??? I have a 100 qt. cooler I could bring and I'll get some ice....Let me know.
