Any events happening on 2/28? MSBA/PIS/TriState Bueller?

Good move getting this set early. Should set Plugfest date this week too.

Sounds good, go for it.

Ricky Bomba and I are pushing this with John.
Looks like 2/28 maybe the date.

We'd like to get a turnout like we use to. John has spent a lot of money upgrading the site with new servers, bandwidth etc. This is the one event where the money goes to keeping the light on here.

Let's start with who's bringing food. We usually are OK with this facet but we'd like to get this pinned down early.

I'll start with 3 cheese cakes, 3 dozen rolls and a case of water.

If you don't want to post what you will bring, PM me. I'm gonna set up a spreadsheet to keep track of all the food.

Never been... where do you all meet? Like to support the site though. Thanks.

Kevin, it is usually at the VFW in Fairhaven MA. It is an absolute blast. John does an hour + Powerpoint of pictures from the site from the previous year and lots of other stuff. We have an Angler of the Year award, other awards including gag awards and a huge raffle of plugs, rods, fishing gear in general. All the stuff is donated and it's a hoot. Usually tons of great food, they have a cash bar, if you want to drink. I don't because it's about 150 mile r/t for me.
Can't be any further for you than it is for me.:walk:

I'm in with a couple of dishes, I'll PM ya Paul when I figure them out.
Do I get last years door prize this year (wisecracking) LOL

How about silent auction some of the donated stuff, may bing in more moola :gu:

what can we do to encourage a bigger turnout? this used to be pretty big and seems to get smaller yearly - it's still a good time but bigger is better

Is there a link specific to this event... or a web/FB page?

Getting an early date set is likely to be the biggest check to larger turnouts. Late March/April is definitely a downer to big crowds.

Im in for the date plus I have a new/Posable 2 recruits,and as always striper chowda.

Buzz, I think this is the biggest thing. Last year I think we had about 80 guys but it was in April. Too late. I remember drawing over 250 in years past.
This year Ricky and I started talking about this in June and decided to really push now before the Holidays.
I hope some of the people who post here a lot but never help the site, step up this time.
It is a great forum for us and one of the only places on the internet where I fell comfortable posting my opinions.

Tell Allen to join up,,, great guy and fishermen :uhuh:

Here's some of the event dates- Conn Surfcaster-Jan 24th , RISAA Feb 27 - Mar ist, Mass Bass March 28th an 29 th . I check with Steve to get a Tri State Date. Hope this helps . Ron

Thanks RON ;)

DATES guys - does it conflict with other DATES :rotflmao:

Rick, Paul, & Vic are appropriately leaning on me early to get dates lined up rather than me getting wrapped up and doing it late :lasso: :claps:. I just do not have the free time I did 7-8 years ago.

So I want to make sure this does not conflict with the North shore Guys, or the CT guys, or the Cape Guys, or the South shore guys.

If this is a good date we can get things in early and have the 100 or so guys that is a good crowd.

Paul - I do not think we have ever had 150 let alone 250 ;)

Sat. Feb 28 is ok by me. Will bring my usual ham steaks and
pineapple. Seems we usually had about 100 in attendance but
more wives, sweethearts and kids recently. I am taking a motel
room again this year and need a room mate. Let me know????

I say go for the 28th. Vic, can you just check to see if the hall is open?

If we set it early, we'll get the turnout.

Thanks
Rick

Thanks Vic,

More than a small part Rick. It was, as we say in the IT world, a collaborative effort.

And for the record, SPENCE, OAKLEY AND CLAMMER, YOU GUYS HAD BETTER SHOW UP THIS YEAR

RAFFLES!!!!!!!

Just realized this was up! Yay for it being set up early, Kudos John & Vic!

As usual the Melody clan will be there :)

There's no IT in team. I'll tell you that much.

Just like Rappin Rodney, "No Respect"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLGxWPtgodo

I tried to shame Manzi into coming on FB, but he's busy building a liquid cooled CPU that runs at 5 Gigs. I think he's going to use it for something extreme,

Haha, yes -- I did mean redsoxticket, sorry for the confusion!

Katie:
for the record Ricky Bomba and I got this going and Vic was kind enough to secure the hall. Again, a team collaborative effort

Phase 1 is complete, securing the hall.

The following phases would require a collaborate effort of all S-B members or whomever would like to contribute.

Phase 2, raffles, raffles, raffles, & sponsor contribution is greatly appreciated.

Phase 3, entertainment, maybe Clammer can give us the moon as in years past, hopefully he will show up and if so expect it to be a blue moon.

Phase 4, food, desert, beverages, ice, utensils, etc.
Paul indicated earlier to pm him the food items that you will be bringing.

Believe this! It's 2005 and I just bought my first boat since selling my last in 82.
He who cannot be mentions and Clammer nominate themselves for my shake down cruise. We're headed out of Warwick Cove, just past Shipleys dock and Mike gets in the front of the console and drop draws. That was the first of many Clammoons.

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LIES ><<:grins:





A lotta fun back in the day ><><><:lurk:

Mike, it brings a smile to my face even after almost 10 years.

I was about the same distance from Stuttgart, Crailsheim. Late 60s
before that I was stuck in Georgia with waiting for orders, spent a month and a half on KP, nearly cracked! :-)

I've been traveling the last few years, looks like I might make this one, be nice to see some people I've not seen in a few years. I've I can make it, be bringing some bean dip and chips.

I said that a lot 😄 🍺🍺

Trying to start a CSA road trip. Maybe the date and location should be a Sticky on top as this is now buried 3 pages back and we want a good turn out.

I'm in. I might have a few things to bring to raffle as well. Also I got fishing books to trade if anyone is interested in that. I've already reread them this year

Stuck ;)

Please start logging in who's bringing what for food. I have a spreadsheet going and it's pretty sparse.

Got Stripes Chips and bean dip
Piemma 3 cheese cakes, 3 dozen rolls and a case of water.
Bob-5/0 Striper choda

Eelskimmer Ham steaks and pineapple

I will bring the catering supplies...chafing dishes, untesils, sternos, maybe some plates and plastic silverware, too.

I have to stock back up this year on the hotel pans and sternos, so those set me back a bunch every three years.

Gup, I didn't realize you were doing a whole knee replacement. You will not be moving much for a few weeks.
I got some decent news on mine yesterday, Grade 2 MCL tear which will heal and a torn medial meniscus. We need to wait and see if they scope me on that.

Take care of the knee and don't worry about the food. We'll be OK. The guys usually step up late.

We'll send an ambulance over Gupp

Bringing Sheppard's Pies :musc:

Ok, Katie. Got you on the list.

2 large buffalo finger calzones from crow point and a couple dozen of the wife's cupcakes. :drool:

OK, here's my rant.

We need more people with stuff.

Right now, it looks like we need:

We need softdrinks, water
Salads (potato, green, coleslaw)
Couple more entrees
Desserts

If everybody could bring one small thing, we have a feast.

My arm is getting a little better, so I think I'll be ok by the time we meet next month.

I also am bringing my buddy Scott Kershaw, who used to cook with me back in the day, to help in the kitchen.

He made a surprise appearance at the FABBIT the year it was in Hubbardston, so this is his first SB event since.

Just booked my room at the Seaport Inn. Bad news for Mr. Pollack...if my roommate (Scott) decides that he can't make it, you can have his bed.

See everybody soon!

I edited my list of stuff that we need. I found enough plates, utensils, and napkins to cover us for the event.

We're still looking for desserts, salads, and soft drinks.

I can bring down a cooler for some of the drinks (it's 70 qts). We may need one more.

Thanks,
Rick

Sorry Paul, but you'd better take me off the list. Didn't know what to expect with this knee surgery, been two weeks and healing up pretty good but looking ahead I'm not sure about TFCTFN at the 3 week point. Truly hate not being able to attend. If I find a way I'll bring some grub! :hihi:

We'll skip the dancing :tooth:

But no prob - sorry you can't make it...

Hope all heels well, Gup. I remember saying I was going fishing with Dangles after ACL replacement, staples and pin removal, and meniscus repair. I was convinced I could make it (togfest). Then I ran out of painkillers and reality hit me pretty quickly.

We'll miss ya.

BTW, I've got everything covered as far as forks, knives, plates, bowls, aluminum, chafing dishes, and sterno goes. I'm bringing a cooler for soft drinks as well.

I will figure out within the next 2 days what the wifey is willing to make and post it asap

John, call me at 781 439 1918 when you're ready to head over.

I think there's gonna be a LOT of people this year.

Yes it does how you doing OLD MAN? How about we meet up at this what do they call it TCFTFN ? What's this thing all about ? Can I come?

You better come buddy, I'm swinging in for sure, been a few years due to scheduling conflicts. I'd bring some baits for the table, but there is still 3 feet of snow and ice in front of the access doors to the attic storage off my top deck; way too tired to lift another shovel. Greg if you are going to the RISSA show what time, I think I'm going to hit the show ahead of the diner.

Hope the raffle table is back to its legendary status cause i feel it kind of lacking past 2 years. I will bring something to donate
We could always have people willing to donate used rods, reels, etc for it as well

Are you all set for PA System, do you need a projector & screen. FB message me bore 10 am Saturday if you need any of that kind of stuff

My son Drew are going to stop by for a while but will be out pretty early. What can I bring? Happy to cook or bring soda/water/ice. Anyone ever had Utica Greens? I can make a tray of those.

Yup, a bunch of us parked there a few years ago.

Any last minute needs Ricky?

Casey,
I just went through all of my stuff and I'm a little light on forks and knives. If anybody wants to pick up a combo pack of like 100 forks and knives, we should be good.

I have plenty of spoons, bowls, plates, napkins, etc.

Thanks,
Rick

The electric pan/crock pot could be used to warm up a dish, better to have it then not.

Rick also has sternos and pans but if your stuff is good to go in the crock, then that would save room for other stuff
