cpickett79 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Let's throw out some dates. How does mid-late Jan work for all the weenies? sat jan 29 or sun jan 30 reason # 1. don't put it on a weekend that pro football playoffs are (they are sat and sun of the next few upcoming weeks) Superbowl is played Feb 6 but there is two week break following last playoff game and superbowl. everything else being = i.e (personal inconveniences) the most logical choice would be (the week before when there are NO GAMES) i.e Sat jan 29 or SUN jan 30 how bout a location? Hooters of west springfield? The bar at wachusett? set up tents in savoy state park (2400' ftw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hopefully we can do the 29 th 30 th type date. No high brow place, sports bar or a place with lots of room for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 somewhere near the MA/CT border would be ideal, that way it's centralized to most of us. either way, it's probably going to be a two hour+ drive for me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No high brow place, sports bar or a place with lots of room for us all. the cabaret on route 1 (peabody) isn't usually that packed . there is the issue of dancing ladies and all. I would think that a central location near worcester to springfield is best for most .....(with the edge going to someplace near worcester) i mean why not ...they do hold the superbowl in miami every other year. there is a large sports bar JJ's in westborough that aint too bad and wouldn't be too packed on a football off week. Just spit ballin here. still long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 JJs Sports bar in Shrewsbury is large, good parking, right off of rtes 9 and 20, pub food Kinda loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Not Hooters. Anywhere else. I won't will frequent the place on general principals and besides, the food sucks I love the wings. JJs Sports bar in Shrewsbury is large, good parking, right off of rtes 9 and 20, pub food Kinda loud I'd suggest away from JJ's. If it's the place I recall, it's okay for football (it was the only place I could find to watch Drew Bledsoe after his move to Buffalo), but I don't recall it being conducive for much discussion. I think we should have it at Coach's in Hartford (is that still there?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I picked the Brew City disastah. Did not realize the staff was douches there. And I haven't been to JJs in 5 or so years. Might be hard to talk, etc. But it is a good sports bar.

Cold Miser Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Jillian's is big. Just make sure it's not on a date when there's a pay per view fight or something similar, because they will charge admission. They have parking as well. http://www.jilliansworcester.com/home.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I thought Funky Murphy's was acceptable. What's wrong with going back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 How about making it the weekend between the AFC/NFC championship games the Superbowl? That would seem perfect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Maybe someplace a bit further east this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I thought Funky Murphy's was acceptable. What's wrong with going back? Yeah I really like the back area where they just let us do whatever and have our own thing and there's plenty of space to ourselves. But some people complained about not being where the rest of the patrons were....but I honestly don't take that into account. I'm not there to see other non-weather patrons at a GTG. But to each his own. I'd be willing to do something further east this time around as the last 3 have been in ORH, NoHo, and ORH again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 A decent place might be Owen O'leary's in southborough. My friend and I used to always go there a couple years ago. Its very close to both 495 and the Mass pike. Its right on route 9 eastbound before the Southborough and Framingham line. They have a very large upstairs area that would easily support a decent sized group. Its a good spot for folks further east and its very close proximity to both 495 and 90 make it quite convenient.
