NY - Holiday Happy Hour
 

Still a couple weeks out, but a few of us are hoping to get together before the Holidays. Nothing fancy, just a few drinks and plays.

Looking at Thursday, December 20th - Austin's Ale House in Kew Gardens (Queens). Directly adjacent to Kew Gardens LIRR platform.

Good place for food, drinks and OTB right in the bar. Probably start around 5PM give or take. Anyone who wants to stop by is more than welcome.

Tentatively signed up so far:
Myself
Pointman
Viscount26
Cardus
Trifecta124
Max Caidy

Few guys went there for Ian's Birthday and didn't have any fun...

P....Id be a little leary about being seen with that guy in public..

still too risky for me...besides, he drinks some really wierd kinda beer. Although when I drank it at Toga is was ok...it was free:D

It's funny. We go Austin's quite a bit for lunch.

Ian saw a post that I was going to be there for the first SWLY race and shot me a message to say he hangs out there. He said ask the bartended to point out "English Ian'.

So I asked the bartender, and her exact response was "Jesus Christ, what the f*ck are you looking for him for??"...

Fun guy, fun place... Definitely going to designate a driver or make LIRR plans for the 20th.

Where ever he hangs, he is sure to be the ugliest person in there.

And you thought I wouldn't respond eh. Good to see everyone thinks highly of me
:D

p.s Pats are 12-0 so I don't give a rats a**

If we didn't like ya, we wouldn't talk sh*t about ya. Clearly one of the coolest old guys I have ever met.

Shocking....

Cool doesn't come to mind when I think of Ian, but old does.

Like you, he did give me a couple free beers at Toga...so I gotta think he is somewhat cool.

Just giving him a little taste of his own medicine. I've got your redneck back....:D

Would like to stop by for a few. Are all DTers welcome?

Thats right...gang up on the Irishman:D

Absoloutely! Come on down...

Ill most likely be there. Its on Austin St?

Ill take the LIRR. Hopefully Ill be done early that day and can make it KP

Maybe I will get some free beer for advertising...

good luck with that....but at least you made me hungry, thirsty and jonesing to bet...

that place looks way too clasy for Ian. I can't believe they would even let a Brit in there anyways...:D

Irish!!! :eek: Try further East
That should upset Brockguy

It's classy, because I drink there
:D

Kenny,
I guess you will have to ask for me as the Bartender that day will be a certain Irish Lady. I have no doubt that she will say " Thats the English eedjit or something worse over there"

Hope to see you

Okay Gents,
Who's definately confirmed for next Thursday

Myself, Trifecta124 and Max Caidy will be heading right from work.

Maybe we can pool for a Cali pick4 play.

bunch of drunks....all of yall

I'm probably in to play some Turfway with you degenerates :D

Shooting for 5PM. I have been successful juggling my schedule so far.

Calendar reads - AAH Holiday Party

I wouldn't miss this for the meteor.

See you guys tomorrow evening.

Have to be in brooklyn in the afternoon, hope to get there early enough to catch a couple FG races.

Be there by 6PM regardless.

Who is regardless?

Brother of nevertheless.

Ah..you are always so right.

Great time fellas. Let's do it again sooner than later.

Maybe we can hit the Playwright in Manhattan next time.

Take care

I had a good time. Let me know when you guys do it again. Pmac thanks again for the ride home. We should all meet at the track one day. Maybe for the Wood or something. Good Luck in 08. KP

No prob Kenny. Was a pleasure to meet all you guys. Your first hand accounts of Secretariat's Belmont, is certainly something you don't get to hear everyday....

We usually hit the Wood for sure. Let's pencil it in.

Enjoy the Holidays.
