THe Habs Fall Classic - Oct. 10-12, 2008

[Flaptail]

Pardon me for asking but shouldn't a tourney in John's memory be a surf classic using only Hab's plugs?

It may be he fished eels but his plugs made his reputation.

Seems kinda weird that it not be Hab's plugs only.

Sorry, not trying to mess up a good thing.

Maybe a Hab's plug caught category?

Steve,
The organizers of this thing are up against a time constraint this year. Trying to keep it simple and not so big. When things are big you need a large staff to run it. I'm sure the format can (and will) be tweaked in the future to include special catagory's, divisions, etc.
Priority now is to remember John and raise some funding to finance a memorial in his honor.

What Dennis said.

Also, please feel free to re-read the opening post in this thread.

All of it, including the quote below.

I dunno, Paul - at first I thought we had someone starting to channel Habs but after reading it again I think scotty is channeling Clammer

Maybe you oughta see if he can switch to one-six

Just kidding scotty - I read you loud and clear. Over.

Just to update you guys, Joe and I went over to the Blooberry Factory day before yesterday and spoke with Billie about the Awards Ceremony - it's a done deal, he's psyched about it. We're gonna have the whole bar and dining room area with the big-screen TV's. Phew, got another one taken care of. So it's on for the Coddington Brewing Company on Sunday, October 12th at 4:00 PM, cash bar and dine as you like off the menu. Go here for details and directions:

Hey, it's starting to look like we're on a roll

I also spoke with a nutty surfcasting guy you all know - aw, hell, it's Crazy Alberto - and he's working on the posters for the tourney right now incorporating the portrait of John that he's done. He said they should be finished at some point over the weekend. I still can't figure out why they call him Crazy - I dunno, he seems perfectly normal to me The posters will be at the weigh stations and one will be posted online here at S-B - I can't wait to see what Alberto has come up with for the tournament.

Then early next week Joe and I are going to go and get the tickets printed so we'll be ready to rock for guys to start signing up for the tournament.

Let the games begin

Stay tuned for further developments - and don't touch that dial

Steve, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who will be in the tourney that actually does not own a Habs plug. And I know there aren't any to be given away or purchased at a reasonable price. That being said, I'll be throwing the one Habs, Jr I got.

great idea in theory. but it opens up too much speculation and he said / she said crap about who was using eels, etc. also, lots of people don't have habs plugs. lots of john's friends fish out of boats too.

i'm looking forward to this. got a house to stay at in middletown for the weekend (wife's aunt and uncle just headed to florida today). just hope i can get out of work in time on friday to make it down to the meet and greet.
