For those coming across the Newport Bridge: Take the first exit off bridge (downtown Newport). Take right at end of ramp. Go straight at first traffic light - you will be on Farewell Street which has cemeteries on each side. Take right at second traffic light onto America's Cup Ave. Stay on America's Cup ave through two more traffic lights.

cha cha

scooter be true

Looks like a full house tonight - I have reservations for approx 30 non - members and have to cut it off there. See you all tonight - the place will be staffed shortly after 6pm. Parking will be tight so don't overlook parking on Long Wharf and adjacent streets - parking meters are NOT in effect so don't dump any coins in them.
Looking forward to meeting many of you for the first time.

That's just as well.I forgot about making a reservation.Plus I'm hibernating away from all the sick people.Everybody seems to have this insane lung ripping hacking cough kind of cold and I have been exposed.Its been a couple of days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I won't get it.

Thanx DZ

Thanks Guys - didn't quite go as smooth as I wanted on my end - had trouble reading my notes and was a little tounge tied.

I think Eben fell asleep when he kicked the plug out but that's to be expected from a guy with baby deprived rest ;)

Victor - What Flat Rock? You're hallucinating from lack of fish. That rock is out there but there are a couple dozen more just as good.

Thanks for all your fine company and friendly conversation - makes the winter go a little quicker.

Thanks to Habs and Pt Jude Joe for the raffle prizes.
