TFCTFN - Too Friekin Cold To Fish Night - need to discuss a new venue or skipping a year.

I think it is important to have the hall right next to the hotel for those that want to have some adult beverages and not need to drive. That is probably my one rule.

So at this point looking for options and suggestions.

This is probably the point in time that the after party gets toned down.

Suggestions? Comments?

Is the change because the VFW isn't available, or because of the afterparty aftermath??

I believe we are banned from the hotel across from the VFW Hall due to excessive fire extinguisher play.

We just don't go for the group rate under S-B.Or change the name of the party. We could say we are Blue Fish.com They would have no idea.

Fairly sure they have some of our names on file and our photos though they don't always match the name. One manager onsite kept telling me my name was Rick Bomba... :devil2:

I suggest we have it at the same place.
There are several motels and a couple hotels in the area of less then a mile. To make it easy to get back and forth there are tons of cabs that work that area.
Google hotels and motels and pick one, the show must go on.

I think the emphasis on having the hotel across the street is one big factor in people getting out of control. Yes , if people over do it its safer to have the close accomodations but is it the reason people go so overboard?

You know that won't happen, Paul. Some people only get out for parties like this once or twice a year and they like to have a few drinks with friends. Just because one person doesn't drink doesn't mean that everyone else shouldn't either. Some people like to let loose once in a while and not have to worry about getting behind the wheel.

Yah really, potentially, no not potentially, we are all going to pay for what took place, even those who stayed away from across the street. I think if someone wants to stay at the hotel they do it without mentioning our group at all. It should be explicit that no one has the right to use SB.Com unless the boss approves.

Not everybody shares your sentiment regarding your investment. In reality the offender should have offered to reimburse those who didn't think it was money well spent.After all,if it weren't for his actions they would all be $50 richer. Instead he bought a jerky machine which is nice.

Absolutely agreed! That doesn't mean, nor give them the right, to act like a bunch of 16 year olds that just got out for the first time. Trust me, I have raised more hell than you can ever imagine but I never acted up with a group that affected a bunch of other people.

The case in point is this thread. If a certain few hadn't acted up we wouldn't be having this discussion.

You're 100% right. I'm usually the designated driver so I see all kinds of stupidity when I'm out for the night. Not to say I haven't been a participant in some of it, but I've never been kicked out of a place or been arrested (at least not since I was a teenager).

I google mapped vfws' and overlayed hotels and motels and theire are none within short walking distance.
Note that not all VFW halls have working kitchens like we have in Fairhaven

Those that want a nice hotel with all the extras see the Hampton Inn in Fairhave, MA 1.5 miles. Priceline shows a cost as of now for $109 DB

How about Feb 25th, the longer we decide the chances that the date that is agreed upon may not be available at the VFW. There are only so many weekends available and plenty of other people booking halls.
Lets get this show on the road and pick a date.

Yeah,I know.It wasn't a planed investment and I honestly really couldn't care,it's water under the bridge.we all had a great time that night and so what if some of the crew came undone.
Ship happens.

If I was hosting in my house? yes - maybe. But this is at a hall, with a bar run by the hall with a hotel across the street. plus several DDs. Optimal? No. Sufficient? Maybe. Legal? Yes.

This has become a stupid azzed discussion. If you need an excuse to get chit house, go do it the night before and show up at this event feeling like crap. Besides being a get together, it is a fundraiser for the site. If you think getting drunk is more important than helping maintain the site, you are going to have a problem with me... and a few others here as well, I'd bet. Don't need MPs, we can police our own. You want to get chitfaced, go somewhere else. You have a problem with booze, get some help. You can PM me if you want to go down that road.

Yeah,
I'm going to try to stay across the street and have Matty book the room. I have nothing to say about last year, except I booked the rooms under my name. Last time I do that.

As Matty is and ex-ninja Army Ranger that wouldn't show you his ID unless someone made him...I think I am safe.

Seriously, though, if there is an issue, cabs are the way to go. Best investment in the world. I say the 25th.

It is not the drunks that St. Patrick's day attracts but TFCTFN would not be successful without the both Bomba brothers.

Most people that drink when St Patrick's Day is on a weekday drink on weekends. I don't see a dramatic surge with drunks on the road unless your one of them.

March 31 is the earliest. Again the longer you guys take to OK the 3/31 the chances of the hall being booked by another party increases.

Is the change because the VFW isn't available, or because of the afterparty aftermath??

Heard there was a small fire in the weight room, is that true, hello pinnn popper.

The Usual hotel (last year) has posted a
$74/nite charge that I called on and was
told no discounts as it is their last room
at that price for 3/31. I have my doubts on
this. Has any one else gotten a better
price from them. If so give me a PM as
I need to book something.

Thanks for such a generous offer... I really do appreciate it,,,, I will let you know,,,

It would be nice to get away but if I can go it will be a last minute thing just like plugfest...

Never got hurt cutting in 43 years. Cleared probably 100+ acres. Just missed the "widow maker" hiding under the top of an oak I dropped. I have dropped 100 foot oaks and maples without a hitch. One god damn sapling takes me out! We'll get through it.

took a hockey stick across eyes.....
Pulverized the face.
Open fracture with cartilage stickin out.
Beyond shattered/ splintered nose. They removed most of cartilage below bridge before they sewed it back on cause so splintered.
In addition fractured all three orbital bones around left eye. Probably gonna require 3 plates to fix. Eyey ball and sight gonna be alright.
Crushed both sinuses and my left tear duct is mashed hopefully not beyond repair
Gonna be a long road with many surgeries ahead......
At least i can't smell the diapers anymore.....

I am nowhere near as bad as you. I have 22 stitches inside and out in my mouth. 6 lateral fractures of the upper jaw plate and 2 displaced teeth. Stitches and associated cuts and bruises are healing. I have a clear splint over 6 top front teeth that I must wear for 6 weeks while the jawbone heals. All in all not anywhere near what you are facing.
Best of luck Mike. Take you meds.

Dayem.....Mike. That much damage looks like an assault with the stick. Can't imagine it being a total accident. Sux. Now I'm not so sorry I quit playing at 45 yo. But I was wearing a half shield in the later years.(just what you wanted to hear) You should get a marketing deal with the face shield companies..... Ugh. Sux. Really sorry.

Redlite -

Sorry to hear that man. Wishing you all the best. NOT PREACHING, but I wear a full face mask while playing men's league hockey due to a previous eye injury. I see many guys get very hurt due to lack of even a 1/2 shield in my experience of playing men's league hockey over 20+ years. Pucks, sticks, deflections, on-purpose, not on purpose, doesn't matter much now how it happened. Feel better and wishing you a speedy recovery and get back out on the ice, after all your a hockey player.
