This is a better place to discuss the possible offline of the DC/PA crew coming to Jersey. After re-reading the thread, a preliminary date of Fri June 20th is what we will start with. Place TBD after we have an approximate head count. Since Mudpuppy is off on Sat, I thought a Fri night might be best. Who can make it?

If the crew from VA/DC/PA can make it to Stirling Fine Wines on Friday before dinner, then Friday night will work.

If they intend to visit after dinner (the next day), then we'll have to plan the dinner on a Saturday night.

June will be a good time for me.

I think a big part of the impetus for this event was to visit Mudpuppy and he doesn't work on Saturdays.....also, purely speaking for myself now, a Friday night would be difficult for me....I would basically have to take the day off.

Also, there is a small offline being planned in DC for either June 14/15 or June 21/22. Nothing in stone yet however.

the weekend of june 14 is best for me. i'd prefer to do dinner on saturday if possible. also if we are starting to consider themes my vote is for cab, being how that is mostly what i have. plus i would like to start tasting my DV vertical

I can't make it on the 14th weekend (Mom's 60th and wedding in Napa on Sun) or on the 28th weekend (working Fri and Sat nights) I can make it on Sat 21st, but I stayed away from that night because of Jazin. Don't let me stop everyone from making it a different night, though. But I am only available the 20th and 21st. If you switch, someone else will have to take the reigns.

Aug 2nd?

If June 21 works for everyone else, go for it! We'll just have to miss this one.(Just promise lots of pictures and notes.)

As far as my day off, I have flexibility in changing it as long as I have some prior notice, its very doable (it also helps that I do the scheduling here too...he he). So if a Friday is better, or if you want to do a Saturday, you can visit the store and do dinner later on (I can meet everyone here before hand, whatever works...). So there's plenty of flexibility on my side, just let me know when your coming & I'll meet ya here. June 21st is Mrs. Mudpuppy's B'day, maybe I can talk her into coming....

Love to hook up with the dc/pa crew.. I'm available most of June.

if revlis comes do we have to be on our best behavior

no, but I believe the person who lives the farthest away has to drink from the dump bucket....

i will track my mileage to your door. but believe me i have drank worse before. next day frat party dump well. mix it all together and drink it. also have you ever had a drink with a twist of the bar rag in it? i not you haven't lived

whew! bar rag twist....now that's hardcore....

Im always around...

so now we have the after party party covered......

Good one....

Now we just need to convince dinwiddie to make the road trip, too.

TJ,

i see that you are a famous man. when can i get you autograph?

6/21 looks good for me so far. Just need someone else from further away to avoid the dump bucket.

The dump bucket is more of an honor than it is a bad thing.... Anyone should be proud to drink the dump bucket!

I think a dump bucket website is in order...............
