Here is the whooze coming and what to bring thread for the THIRD Annual “Striped-Bass.com Too Friekin’ Cold to Fish Nite” slated for Saturday Night February 26th. 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: . 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 :btu: ). It's also a great way to reduce the cabin fever that has a death grip on many that will come late winter.

What we do: we have a hall in Fairhaven, Ma already reserved (Thanks Jim for reserving the date, I got the deposit in!) that is across the street from a Holiday Inn (highly recommended - not for crature comforts but for a short stumble to serenades of Peanut Butter Toes by R.M. - you had to be there I guess). We have edged around 100 people each year and can probably sneak another 20 or so (still below the capacity for the hall which I think is 177 or something when dining). And of course, do to Massachucettes General Law something or other, smoking will take place outside.

What we do is try to get people to bring a dinner dish, desert, an appetizer, or condiments / paper & plastic (forks & knives). Scuttlebutt right now has the workings of a possible food contest too.

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

For rooms at the Holiday Inn - I will contact them this week and see if there is a again a package discount rate for rooms.

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

Entertainment is being worked on as we speak and I hope to have details on this soon. I am also open to (honest) suggestions for the entertainment.

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

I open this to the floor - should tickets will be like the last two years, $10 single or per legit couple (significant others, not fishin' buddies ) ?

I also want to come up with an annual prize / award of some sort for a worty site MEMBER - it can be goofy, funny, or serious - I am open to suggestions - do not mention any names (victims) at this time. Once we decide what kind of award, we will have a SILENT poll.

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

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

John, What's the date?

Barb and I will bring Meatballs.

I will try to come and if I do i will bring 'holdover surprise"

I'm in

We'll be there ( 2 ) dont no what for food yet will figure out closer to the date

Smokey , David and I will be there. Like last year we will make an awesome 100 person garden salad. Dressing included!

Like last year I will also donate a rod for the raffle table and the rod for the biggest canal fish of 2004.


This is , no doubt , the highlite of the off season. All the fishing shows are nice and I hope to make them all but the TFCTFN is the best gathering of the best fisherman you will see in you lifetime. I go to see my friends. Some come to meet new friends. Some come cause they are drunken sots and they will feel comfortable in a room with more like themselves!!!!! :)


Whatever your own reasons , you want to be there Saturday , Feb 26 .

I'll swear its a good thing we always go in a truck cause all the raffle stuff you win would just filll up a normal car!! :)

I promise that anyone who asks me even the most complicated questions about fishing the canal will will walk away smilin
and scratching their heads wondering WTF is he talking about !!??!! :)


Not to oversell the event but this is the best time you'll have at a fishing related event all winter long.

Right now its a go //but I have to see what happens in the near future at home :confused: its a great time /I,ll be staying across the street ///trying to control ChrisL & at the same time keep Milo,s wife HAPPY///

no matter how things turn out /I,ll have a donation for the raffel ///

I could care less about entainment ///IMO it takes away time from the B/S

:happy:

i'll be there! i think the usual $10 per legitimate couple as we have done in the past is the way to go.

i'll work on organizing another after party.

Mikey, i'll bring you a big jar of peanut butter...

I'll bring some sort of Jambalaya....lookin forward to it!!

I'm in..I can bring some buffalo wings. The better half will be attending as well.

Kippy, i'll be sure bring the plug i owe you from the auction. i haven't forgotten!

Im in, ill bring my usual spicy hot pork.

Thanks Toby..I did forget about it! :smash:

I'm in again. Should be ready for a road trip about then. Not sure yet about bringing a wife or, how did he put that, a legitimate significant other (they sound expensive, but maybe I could afford one just for the night).
Anyway, I will bring an appetizer, probably two.

I'm in so is Red, mom and my sister might show up this year for the first time..

we might bring clam chowda and ribs or the normal smoked turkey :)

I had a great time last year, it was nice to meet a bunch of folks here. Best part though was winning the rod building class and rod materials w/Mike from M&D. Mike and his family were great hosts and the rod came out better than I ever dreamed.
Count me in, I'll bring whatever is needed.

Actually - my first call was going to be to DZ :hee: . For those that have not seen it yet - it is an awesome presentation on how a lucky few experienced something very rare in Surfacting for bass...

I'm going to try and make it and if I do I'II be doing an oyster thing, maybe rockefeller, maybe remick, or straight up on the half-shell.

Me and the wife, only if she is feeling ok though.

I will bring a suprise dish...

This board needs an award for the biggest cabin fever, crybabying, get me through the winter person. :laughs:

This year I WILL be there - and I'll bring the traditional Drunken Blackfish Chowder....:hee:

Hmmm....maybe I can talk Mrs Crafty into it since she started surfcasting this year...

I also talked to Pt Jude Joe about it this afternoon - but then that wouldn't qualify as a couple...

Hey, no wisecracks, ya knuckleheads :smash:

Well I am in as usual and I think this year I will bring cheesecake... unless we have too many desserts in which case I will bring .... something else :D

-Dave

Oh and a few plugs for the raffle

I am in and will bring the wife. That is if I can convince her that you guys and girls are actual people. Will decide on what to bring later.

I'm in.I'll bring lots 'o Brats!Will try to get my girl to make a batch of her incredibly good chili.Maybe she'll even want to come with me!

Forget the Brats...I can marinate them but no way to grill'em.Or is there?

I'm in and Mrs. Ratt will be there too. If I'm nice maybe she'll make some congo bars!

John,

I think you sghould convene a super secret committee of the boards regulars and create a few annual awards. Some Ideas...

1...Rookie of the Year Award...for the loudest member that came in like gangbusters, pissed everyone off and now is just another one of the bunch.

2...I need a Life...this is the mike hog or net hog asward given to someone who just has to post on every little damn thing...related or not

3...Closest to getting Banned Award....for the member that will centralize this winter's insanity

let your imagination run....

Sounds like fun!

I think I will attend and get to meet everyone!

I hope I can make it!

I,m iin,lil Bomba meet ya at the Gorilla party at the gym at 1 am ok:smash:

bring the Peanut Butter!!

i'm down. will bring something good :)

I'll be there. I don't know what to bring. Will decide later I guess.
_Z_

And definately bringin a foldin lawn chair for the after party. If I sit on an exercise machine again like last year, I might break this years New Year's resolution of not exercising.

Both I and the little woman will be in attendance for the first time.

I do not think I have seen it on the list yet. I will bring plastic forks, knives, and spoons. I will also grab a stack of plates and napkins. Guess it is a run over to BJ's Wholesale on the way down.

This next statement probably won't be too popular. But $10 a couple is one inexpensive night out. If money is short keeping this site open JohnR, I wouldn't have a problem with a bump on the ticket prices. If not, I will purchase something for the raffle table. This is a great site, and a long winter - I want the lights left on.

That's OK - Buy more raffle tickets :hee:

I don't want it to be expensive, I just want it to be a good time. The TCTFN generates half of the funds to keep the site going well. But I don't want it to be expensive (not that I'd mind making more :hihi: ). But we keep the ticket for significant others so we can prove (or disprove) that we are not (or just are) a bunch of lunatics :rolleyes:

i volunteer to do the raffle again.. :hihi:

Count me in again! I will something to be determined at a later date - The Mrs is very under the weather right now. I will tell her we have a date on the 26 after she gets better;)

I will be there, numbers to follow.....

Notaro Congo Bars is the dance we do when we order drinks!:laughs: Naw they are my wifes chocalite chip brownies, they go pretty fast!

John
I would like to donate a complete rod buliding lesson and materials Rainshadow 1088 in spinning or comventional.

I'll be there.............

I'm there and I have no ADULT SUPERVISION that night...........

Yes, Rick, I saw this already, look about 13 posts ahead of you. Sounds like you're throwing down the gauntlet for some sort of Iron Chef Striped-Bass competition. Well, Iron Chef RickBombaSakai, Iron Chef JimboKenichi will will consider your most worthy offer.

Damn...there is some sweet stuff on those tables and I know this year will be killer.

I'll have to be there in sprit this year....:(
(Family trip planned that week)

Maybe I can donate something…. Perhaps a guided ( me as your guide) surf trip (night) during the derby (for no more then 2 people) I normally fish solo but I could make an exception for sb.com. :D...I don't know if that would be much of a prize or even of interest...but I will guarantee fish or I buy dinner the next night. You can't loose! If there is any interest in something like this let me know. Again I would be happy to do it

now, thats messed up. lol.

John,

It was a pleasure speaking to you yesterday. As I stated on the phone I am going to purchase a ticket and try my very best to make it to the affair. My only problem is a schedule conflict with having a booth at the "BIG E" in Springfield the same weekend. The show ends at 8:00PM on Saturday but maybe I will shut down around 5:00 and make the two hour trek down to Fairhaven. With no stove in my booth and not very creative with a microwave I will provide paper plates, napkins and drink cups. I will get these in your hand prior to the date in case of S N O W!!

This is a great chance to meet more members here and tell some lies about the big one we landed and the one that got away, which none of us ever do. I also would like to donate two seats on one of our "OPEN BOAT CHARTERS" aboard RELENTLESS for a day of cod fishing on Stellwagen Bank. It is the least I can do. If Raider Ron wins, redraw the ticket. :D

Well, time to go check on the boat (another cancelled trip due to weather), work out, (need to de-balast) and head down to the Providence Boat Show. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Respectfully,

Dave Waldrip
RELENTLESS

Hi again everyone!

Just wanted to give an update that I have contacted the Holiday Inn again and waiting for a call back.

Thanks Betterhalf, I will bring some dessert type stuff too( I work with Entennmans)

OK - my wife got a call back from the Holiday Inn - Regular rate is 85 or so per night and the S-B rate would be 65 per night if we get more than 10 rooms (hey, an extra twenty for the raffle table :hihi: or some expensive wine for your missus :laughs: )...

I'm going to start a holiday in room thread - please reply to the thread if you will register a room for that night...

Thanks,

John

I don't know if this has been mentioned as an item to bring there's a lot to read in this thread, but I'll bring venison sausage, and brats...I can grill them at home if there's a place to heat them up or if there's a place to grill them...

Maybe I missed it but what's the exact address of the hall?

Anyone have luck making reservations?

I tried the 508 number - no answer
I tried the 866 number - no friggin clue about the s-b block of rooms.

Guess I will try again tomorrow.
-IWK

IWK, try stripped-bass, they spelled it wrong at hotel. I got mine.

I booked a room today and the lady knew what I was looking for and it was under striped bass . now I just got to find out if I have to resign or am getting the weekend off .

no big deal Alaska is paid for !

I am planning on atttending. I could not make it to the plug fest, sounds like a great time had by all. I'll bring some soda or water and some dessert.

I just realized that this a night fund raiser for the site:smash:
How do I get a door ticket?
Is it too late?
I know the Date is Feb. 26 th, but what time is it?
And can someone post an address or directions?
Also.
Are name tags given out?
It would be nice to put some faces with the names!!!:laughs:

i think it starts at 7 o'clock (if i remember right..not too sure) name tags are always avalible!:D


hope that answered some of your questions

i'm in. i'll also bring soda and bottled water. with all the hot stuff on the menu it looks like you guys are going to need it. :D i assume there will be ice coolers like at plugfest, no?

I can bring a big cooler if it is needed.

This is my first year, so I am a little confused. Does the hall allow us to bring our own beverages? I thought there was a bar where we bought this stuff.

alcohol at the bar . soda and water ( soft drinks ) we can supply .

I'll bring a couple of pecan pies.

I found my problem booking the room.

I was calling the 866 # for Holiday Inn corporate. They do not see the booking for Striped-bass or stripped-bass.

you do have to call the hotel directly. But I got my room and cannot wait to get there.

Someone can probably answer this for me... I'm bringing different types of prepared venison... Is there a place to cook it there or should I cook it at home and just re-heat it there? Is there a kitchen or anything like that?

thanks,
Chris

Wahlie, nice avatar! Kind of reminds me of how you play with Tbone. Hacky sack anyone!

Keep it up strider...you're next.

walie
there is a kitchen but it would be best or easier to cook it at home and reheat there .

P/P PAID :D

The Holiday Inn couldn't enter striped bass so the group discount is under "striped".

Hmmmm, Blueberries in the Excersize room :tooth:

P/P payment sent :) Was good to see ya at the meeting last night John.

Come to the legs, cast4bass

Wish I could make it.....

now, im not sure if i can make it or not.

Hey,
If anybody reads this last minute...I could use a few extra serving spoons for the party. Any kind of big kitchen spoon or spatula would help.
I bring like 30 every year and seem to go home with half of them, so my collection is dwindling.
Thanks,
Rick

OK..... PLastic OK?

Sure is...
I'm going to Costco right now to pick up other supplies; if I see some stuff there I'll buy it.
Later,
Rick

I will grab a few spoons also.

Yes VF tickets are avialable at the door no problem.;)
