Tri-State NY NJ CT Freeper Holiday Party and Meeting

Saturday December 28th, 2002

1:00 pm

Special guest MadIvan from England

Location Tentative but could be Moran's (downtown) in the WTC area

Moran's

This landmark location, built in 1897, was formally an inn and later became St. George's Chapel during the Depression in 1929. St. George's Chapel catered to the local merchants and residents, which were mostly of Syrian Catholic descent. This area came to be known as "Little Syria." In 1979 the church retired, and the Moran family acquired and converted the site and began operating on December 26, 1986.

It also gives us a place to go to reflect on our Freeper BCM, John Moran who perished on 911 and possibly honor his family.

You can find the current ping list on my home page and I will update it with all who show interest.

Please let me know your ideas and suggestions so this can be a wonderful gathering. I will be emailing back and forth with Firebrand planning the party/meeting.

As the date gets closer I promise to ping you all back to this thread.

Looking forward to meeting all of you and I hope we get a great turnout!

Wow! Me too.

I wonder if Ann Coulter might show up. I heard she was a CT Freeper.

[alisasny]

Sounds like we must send her an invite!

I was hoping we could all wear nametags with our freeper names. I found this really nice pin that is Red White and Blue and you write your name on the white section. I have to buy 6 dozen but for 9.95 I think its a good deal and they can always be used in the future for other events.

Opinions...

Name tags! :-)

Only some of us will know each other on sight, but others wont know a soul since some of us never met in person.

[OldFriend]

Sounds like a great plan, keep me posted.

[alisasny]

That is what I thought and since we will only be gathering for a few hours it will be impossible to learn names that quick.

Of course you will never forget me since we both joined FR as posters on the same day...: )

Would you guys mind some company from the flatlanders in Ohio? Or for you Connecticut Freepers, the Western Reserve.

In God We Trust.....Semper Fi

[1Old Pro]

I wish I could make it.....we'll see.

Unless I'm mistaken, what you're proposing is alcohol consumption, and in the daytime to boot! So we're to make some sorry excuse to our wives, sneak out on our chores and take the train downtown in order to gladhand and drink the day away.

Then we'll emerge hours later, blinking and shading our eyes from the sun, straggle home and try to feign sobriety so that the kids won't think Daddy drinks because they cry.

Sounds good.

[alisasny]

What about us Mommy's, and Guinness no doubt LOL

Whatever your age, GUINNESS® stout should be consumed in moderation.

[hellinahandcart]

Please put me on the ping list for this event. Sounds fun.

[Cacique]

All Freepers are welcome from all parts. After all, MadIvan is an English Freepr.

I would definitely like to show up for such an event but you have scheduled it for the same time as the Giant's final (home) game of the season for which I have both tickets and great interest, so sadly I would not likely be able to attend. (Even without the conflict I would have preferred an evening meeting time.)
