I just got off the phone with my friend Komes, the owner of Flo's Clam Shack, and we discussed the Friday night Meet and Greet at Flo's.
Here's the deal. The Habs runs from 17:00 hours (that's 5:00 PM) Friday night to 09:00 hours (9:00 AM)Sunday morning. We will have people traveling to Newport from far away destinations (being a Newporter, far away means off the island) and may want dinner before heading out.
Komes will reserve the deck and outside porches for us if we have 40 people or so, and we can do chowder and clamcakes for a flat rate for the group and on Fridays Flo's does a Prime Rib Special anyway soooo... for 19.95 (perhaps less)you'll be able to get chowder, clamcakes and a prime rib dinner for a max of 19.95 - plus tip, of course, for the
very lovely Lisa who runs the second floor bar and restaurant.
Anyhoo - you can do the Meet and Greet at Flo's if you're traveling, get a excellent soup-to-nuts dinner, the beverage of your choice and a chance to chew the fat with your fellow contestants.
As a special bonus, I'm going to distribute a detailed map of all of Joe's favorite spots on the island to the first 25 people who say "I'm In", complete with tide chart.
JUST KIDDING, JOE
So if you plan on attending the Meet and Greet at Flo's, please respond with "I'm In" to give me a number of people I can pass along to Lisa. If we get 40 or so we'll be able to reserve the second floor deck that overlooks Easton's Point and The Cliff Walk just for The Habs entrants only that way.
If you can't make it for one reason or another, that's okay, we just need to get a feel for how many will be there.
Thanks you guys, you're the best -
