Here is the who is coming and what to bring thread for the FOURTH Annual “Striped-Bass.com Too Friekin’ Cold to Fish Nite” slated for Saturday Night February 18th. 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. This will be the 4th year and all have enjoyed previous TFCTFNs. 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. TFCTFN also can server as a De-ShackNastifier by getting everyone together for a last big time before the dinks (bass) arrive :btu:

What we do: we rent a VFW hall in Fairhaven, Ma already reserved that is just stumbling distance (verified :buds: ) across the street from a Holiday Inn (highly recommended - not for crature comforts but for a short stumble to serenades by R.M. and Blueberry Beer). What we do is try to get people to bring a dinner dish, desert, an appetizer, or condiments / paper & plastic (forks & knives).
We can bring our significant others, we set up a buffet style and let people, well, buffet... This is a GREAT chance for people to meet each other and maybe even plan out a fishing trip for later in the year.

Like last year, smoking is outside.

Entertainment is a little different this year and at the requests of a lot of people, more geared to conversing with each other than very formal. Though there is a rumor about a quick "Roast" of the Clam Man :rotfl:

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

We will have a raffle table - hopefully as good or better than last year - and we will gladly accept donations for the raffle table :hee:

Tickets will be like the last three years, $10 single or per legit couple (significant others, not fishin' buddies ) ?
Now we did have a few prizes last year

Where - VFW Hall , Middle St in Fairhaven - well located for people from all parts of New England, off 195 (directions to follow)

For rooms at the Holiday Inn - Call and register a room 508-997-1281. Our group rate is $72 per night, all you need to say is the group "FishCo". I highly encourage people getting a room, split one get a few together, whatever the case, or if you are going to imbibe, arrange your transportation pleeeze...

Who - So who is coming and what will you bring?

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

I'll bring a couple of minced meat pie's.

Me and the bride will be there, and she's in charge of the kitchen. I'll have to check with her about the grub but whatever she brings, I guarantee will be good. :D

Me and maybe my lil'lady she gets pretty bored/scared in a room full of scrubby fishermen :hihi: :eek:

I have to think about what I'm gonna bring

I will be there as usual and will have scollop casorole agian. Will also have something good for the raffle table. And I will be ready for a Clammer roast as my best night fishing last season was a night with THE CLAM MAN at the islands. What stories I have to tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:faga:

I'll be there with the chafing dishes, kitchen crew, etc.
I'll try to bring some Bugaboo swag to give away to everybody in general.
I've sort of sacrificed a lot of my catering material the "house party" gods, so it'll cost me some dough to get it back in order...
Anyone who brings a dish, could you also remember to bring serving utensils...Lots of doctors visits lately left the rickman not quite as liquid as I usually am this time of year.
Thanks,
See You All Then!
Rick

I'll bring some stock for the raffle John, tight lines.

I'll be there allong with my Team Ave Maria buds
My wife will be making a large pan of stuffed shells or lasagna for me to bring.

R/R BEWARE :eyes:

You can come too

alright is there anything that needs to be brought? gonna go out and get the stuff tomorrow

Wow.. Saltwater edge show + the TFCTFN all in the same DAY? Sounds like an all day/night road trip if you ask me! :sled: It is going to be difficult to sqeeze it all this in (have a hockey game on sunday morning out on the cape) but will certainly try.

Uhh, dear, about this weekend.... Umm I was thinking about going to the SB.com dinner and maybe swing by newport and see the edge show and stay over night in New Bedford, then drive to the cape and I will be home sunday night. Is there anything I can get you from America while I am over there?:hee:

I hope to be there. If so, I'll bring a pecan pie.

Last year was 7:00 to midnite.


Same time this year?

Same time - 7 to midnite

forgot, ill bring butter cake :cool:

we'll be bringing meatballs

We'll be bringing home made potato salad.

New Caster your only required to be obsessed at times with salt water fishing. Beyond that if you think your not welcome phooey. :walk:

.....and potato salad..lol :hihi:

I will bring bowls, silverware, plates, and napkins.
Rick

I'll bring some soda

I have been quite busy this winter and some how missed the dinner tonight. I spoke to John today and he sounded like Bob Barker "COME ON DOWN". I will not be bringing my significant other but instead a friend of my son's who goes to MMA. He also mates on boats out of Puerto Rico fishing mainly for Marlin.

I am also going to donate two spots on an open boat cod fishing charter again this year. Last year the winner and myself could not make things work with our schedules. I look forward to seeing everyone and meeting some new friends.

Respectfully,
