Mark Eatherton

You'd probably have better luck finding Ron Jr on FB. (Ron Poniatowski) Haven't seen him post here in a hundred years.

I'd show, but too far to travel.

ME

DanHolohan

We’re heading South, for a while, Matt. When are you thinking? I’m always up for a party.

Dave H_2

I'll be there!

Funny thing, I was just talking about that with Johnny just a couple of weeks ago!

And as Mark was saying, alot of the guys are on FB pages, DragonTalk, Oil Tech Chatter......

Dave H.

Danny Scully

You didn’t give me much of a chance @Mad Dog What exactly is the BIG UGLY and where could it be hosted in LI...Plattdeutsch??

Mad Dog_2

Let's see how it develops. Interest. , who is really interested and then, we can pick a location. Would be great to hang out Dave H. Mad Dog

Mad Dog_2

Don't DO Facebook ME, but anyone who does might wanna let him know. Mad Dog

Mark Eatherton

Will drop him a note.

Mad Dog_2

Thanks ME. Mad Dog

Danny boy, it's an informal gathering of Wallies that we've had in the past. Not sure of the derivation of the name, but I think Dano coined it or borrowed it. After the Wetstocks were done, it was a way to meet folks from here, hang out, eat, drink, talk shop, life. You'd be surprised who would show up: a quiet lurker, random homeowners, an engineer, Joe Plumber. You always left with a great time had by all. Wives, girlfriends came sometimes. I threw 3 or 4
Because I believe that group social gatherings are a thing of the past that we all need to do a lot more : camaraderie, commiseration, laughs, beer, manhattans, networking. We can have it anywhere and The Plattduetsche would be great
For us, but let's see what interest we get and from whom and take it from there. The last one I did was at A corner pub near Penn station
The one & only Mr Johnny White and few NYC guys made it a perfect choice. I wouldn't expect an out of towner to have to go out to East Cupcake, ya know? Stay tuned. Mad Dog

Mad Dog_2

When would be a good time/month for you Mr Holohan?
It wouldn't be the same without you. Mad Dog

DanHolohan

@Mad Dog After March for me, Matt. And Brother Cataneo was the guy who named these. Thanks, JohnNY!

Ron Jr._3

Hey guys ! Count me in ! City or LI is cool !

JohnNY

We always had a blast. I held one in an Italian restaurant one year (2002?), fixed price with a great meal and unlimited wine, and introduced about 70 wallies to grappa for the first time. The next day, collectively, we looked like Jonestown. But the friends we all made and the stories were priceless.

DanHolohan

The grappa won.

You guys should all come to the West coast and do it. You know, get out of that nasty part of the country and its bad weather.
Besides, it is a lot closer to travel, although still a stretch. I feel left out here...
Sounds like it would be a great time though.

I may venture since my main job right this minute is watching a sleeping grandson. But it needs to be warm.

Alan (California Radiant) Forbes

I've never been to New York. Could be a good excuse to venture east, no?
ME: We could pick you up on the way.

Mike Cascio

Count me in! I was on this forum back in 05 and lost track of time. Having a blast reading and posting on this forum again and neat to see many of the same people that I remember from 05.

Mad Dog_2

Excitement is building. Let's shoot for after Holohan is back April or May. Mad Dog

EzzyT

I'm in either if in the City or Ling Island

belham

I'll hoist some fresh, non-preservative German brews in your all's honor. Tilt the stein to the men who throw down on the Island! Just wish one of ya were close here (Germany/Belgium/France) so I could speak a little native tongue & actually understand more what's going on with this German contraption of mine

Dave0176

I’d be in....... Let me know.

Erin Holohan Haskell

Great idea, @Mad Dog. I'm in too.

Mad Dog_2

Wow! That was easy. How's about you JohnnNY?
