January 2012 Meet - Firkin Tavern - Saturday, 1/21

[BonzoHansen]

We yet again are heading back to the Firkin Tavern in Ewing for our annual kick off meet. As always it will be an open buffet and a cash bar. Not all details are confirmed (exact time, payment methods, menu, etc.) but we will update this post soon with those details. But the date, location and approximate time are set.

We have limited space available in the game room at Firkin, so we have set up a pre-payment that will run through 8:00 pm Wednesday January 18th. The cost of the meet is $25 per person prepaid, and $30 at the door on the day of the meet. Active Power Members enjoy a $5 discount off the cost of tickets.

***Pre-Payment Information***• Pre-payment runs through 8:00 pm Wednesday January 18th
• Cost is $25 per person prepaid; $20 for active Power Members
• Send prepayments via PayPal to paypal@NJFBOA.org,
• Be sure to include your username and your full name with your payment so we make sure to give the correct person credit.
• If you would rather pay with a check or cash, please send Justin (Tru2Chevy) a Private Message ASAP so we can make arrangements before the pre-pay deadline.The lunch buffet menu is Smothered Chicken (bacon! cheese!), Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce, and Wings – both buffalo and firkin house wings (very good), along with garden salad. There will also be several pitchers of soda available, and for those that are 21+, we will be in the game room right next to Firkin's bar, where they have plenty on tap (for additional charges).

The game room has pool tables, dart boards, giant jenga and air hockey available for our use. We should be able to watch Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auto auctions live on the TVs as well.

The meet is also a good time to pick up one of our new club T-Shirts or some NJFBOA vinyl. Please feel free to bring your friends and families to join in the fun as we kick off another year in style.

Time: Start showing up after 12; lunch is served 1 to 3 PM
Date: Saturday, January 21st

Tape it to my F-body manual, no sense in wasting a perfectly good brick

Doesnt matter

[BonzoHansen]

um its apparently going to rain/snow saturday....:cry:

you know we are going inside right? LOL

[Jersey Mike]

2 hour drive in sketchy weather? ...sigh.

[JL8Jeff]

If they're saying rain/snow for Saturday today, it most likely will show up earlier or later than predicted because they've been terrible so far this winter. So it will rain/show on Friday/Friday night or Sat night/Sunday.

[mikey mort]

hey who ever is in charge of njfboa clothing. can u bring a large sweat shirt for me to buy, or should i order it

[BonzoHansen]

justin should be bringing all that stuff.

[BigAls87Z28]

Code speak for "they couldn't stand me anymore so they shipped me somewhere else" :mrgreen:

They said that the store I was in was way too dead and that they want to see me back in action.
The store I was in, we saw maybe 30 customers a week. Some days, we saw none.

New store is busy busy, so I'm out. gotta work 9-6 Saturday, so if Pals are gunna be doing something after, let me know.

[sweetbmxrider]

Why don't you two have coolmansvette take you, he seems to have offered

I agree. You guys are local and carpooling is the green thing to do. Its a great way to make FRIENDS! as well.

[LS1ow]

First Beer is NOT local. mike if you really wanna do the you drive down and i DD thing text me and we will discuss

[coolmanvette75]

I'm more local than kohler and a lot closer than driving all the way. U guys are welcome to come with me if u can make it to the cheesequake rest stop...

[Jersey Mike]

Thanks, bud. Will let you know! Beggz and I are working out the details now. We'll keep you in the loop.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

You can carpool with me :lol:

[LS1ow]

You can carpool with me :lol:

takin the explorer or the cam ?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Exploder. Camaro never sees salt.

[LTb1ow]

If it snows severely, when will we receive notice?

[BonzoHansen]

Not until at least 10. They are only calling for a few inches turning to rain here by lunch. This is not an easy meet to reschedule.

[88WS-6]

It took me 20 extra minutes to get to work this morning. Stupid summer tires.

Hopefully they plow a few roads today. 287 wasn't even plowed...

[BigAls87Z28]

Looks like 2-3 inches here. Gunna try to talk my way out of work.

[LTb1ow]

Yea its just a few inches round me, but now its a lovely rain/ice/sleet mix would should make for lovely playgrounds for idiots.

[Frosty]

To those that are going, be safe.

I wish I could get out of work but when you're the only writer there on the Saturday you work it's not possible.

[Phoenixfire1989]

We'll see if the trans am can brave the snow..made it home this morning from work!

[coolmanvette75]

Only like 2-3 inches here in old bridge and it looks like its changing over to rain. I will still be attending today

[BonzoHansen]

We have about 2 inches here. I have to go out at 830 so I'll see what the roads are like. Remaining weather should be out by lunch. Unless I am totally surprised when I go out I'd say we are on.

edit: it is sleeting here. I am going to call and see if we can delay. no guarantees until I talk to them.

anyone out there just be safe and keep long following distances. This is NJ not SC, we can handle 2" of snowy stuff.

[88WS-6]

It would have been nice if they had plowed even just a little last night or this morning. I drove in at 5:30am and every road was untouched.

[BonzoHansen]

Roads are quite passable but you gotta take your time. Rt295 and then main local roads I was on were plowed. some sleet in the air so be safe.

I have not got an answer yet from firkin but I want to delay lunch from 1 to 230. As soon as I know I'll report back.

If not remember lunch is served at 1 so take your time!

[Blackbirdws6]

Taking the wife's SUV so travel won't be a problem.

[BonzoHansen]

Lunch is delayed until 230 so maybe plan being there around 2. Take your time and be safe!

[JL8Jeff]

Looks like the snow here is done and they just plowed my road. So the 2:30 delay should work out well for the roads to get cleaned up before most people need to head out. Take it easy and give yourself extra time. I've seen too many accidents the last 3 days and that was in good weather!

[LTb1ow]

So what time should we shoot to get there?

[PolarBear]

So what time should we shoot to get there?

I don't think they allow shooting at Firkin

[LTb1ow]

I do believe they have a variant of big buck hunter so yes good sir, they do allow a form of shooting on their premises, now please stop being lame troll and answer the question perhaps if you could?

[Tru2Chevy]

Just sent email.....the plan is to meetup at 2ish, buffet will go out at 2:30.

- Justin

[88WS-6]

Roger that.

[coolmanvette75]

Sounds good

[Featherburner]

Lunch is delayed until 230 so maybe plan being there around 2. Take your time and be safe!

So what time should we shoot to get there?Open your eyes yet?

[JL8Jeff]

I'm all shoveled out so it's not really that bad. I forgot what a great workout shoveling is! :roll: Now I'm ready to have a beer! :toast:

[PolarBear]

Open your eyes yet?

Thanks, i was hoping some one else could read

[Pampered-Z]

Been working in the area this morning, most of the roads are nicely cleared and nothing more then wet UNITL you get to Ewing. Scotch and Lower Ferry look untouched, so allot of slush, so a bit messy but you can certainly get through.

[Tru2Chevy]

hey did you guys get my payment?

Yes, we got it. See you there!

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Just got back from the gym and the main roads are pretty clear so if my little town on a mountain is decent, all you other people are definitely OK!

[Jersey Mike]

You guys have fun. Be safe & watch out for Kohler's Ken Block impersonations.

[coolmanvette75]

Leaving in a few. Giving myself extra time for bad roads...

[Featherburner]

Just got back from the gym and the main roads are pretty clear so if my little town on a mountain is decent, all you other people are definitely OK!You would think...Ewing roads were untouched when I left at 11:00.

[88WS-6]

Leaving now. Bringing a +1. Will pay $30 at the door

[Phoenixfire1989]

Just pulled in in the trans am. Roads werent bad at all..im actually here alot earlier then expected

[sweetbmxrider]

I had a great time.....on my couch :bertstare:

[BonzoHansen]

Thanks to everyone that came out in the bad weather yesterday. Good crowd, good food, good time.

[coolmanvette75]

Had a great time. Good food and good fun (except when bls beat me in pool). Was funny when that truck got stuck and almost hit that benz...
