If you're coming from Joisey, it's insane to drive in. Easiest thing to do is drive to the train station, take train to Hoboken, take PATH 33rd Street line to Columbus, walk what seems like 5 stories of steps, get out, get to 7th Avenue and walk down a block. Piece of cake.

If you do drive, try not to hit the pothole that's been renamed in honor of Chucky.

I'm driving in, but then again I drive in all the time. My car will be in the city 3 of the next 5 days. I'm heading in to the car show Sunday. Anyone up for it?

Any good lots nearby to the restaurant?

If I can get Irish on the right line, he and I will arrive at Penn, and Chucky will ferry us downtown.

Path to 33rd is stupid if we can take Transit to Penn. Same destination without the hassle.

Took you a page to notice - you're slipping, Rick.

Penn Station's easier, but then you lose the charm of Hoboken.

IM picking up miss brenton from penn. If anyone else is coming to Penn - lemme know.

I have a GLK cuz pops won't let me take his car anymore and mine is still in the shop.

So its a squeeze in the back. And no pun intended.

Chucky - it must be hard to drive such a lowly car.

Chucky, don't worry about it, forget that puny GLK you must squeeze miss Brenton and others in, we know what you drive and we love it.
You must bring with you your Breitling, we must examine it and see if you didn't scratch anything already.
We will exchange watches, stories, point of views, cars (maybe) food and more.
Am I setting myself up?

PS.
Don't forget to snap some pics of your squashed passengers, please.

Sushi

Wow, I had a blast last night. Many thanks to Bradley for organizing us and for selecting such a good spot, Oh, and for shuttling Rick and I to Penn Sta.

I lost Rick in Penn Sta when he went out to smoke. I hope you made the train mate. I got on the last train to my part of Joisey with 30 seconds to spare, how is that for just in time delivery, lol.

It was great meeting all of you and I loved getting to talk politics as there are not too many of us like me this far east. Plus I work alot in California and it is like swimming in a huge pool of socialism out there. Huge two thumbs up to Rockjock for his very splendid gesture. We owe you mate! Have a safe flight home. Having met yah'all only makes me look forward to that 1st BBQ. I have some good Memphis dry rub recipies and another for Bourbon soaked finishing sauce - Ed. First you marinate the chef in Knob Creek or Wild Turkey and then you marinate the guests. If there is any left over you can pour it on the BBQ

Fantastic night! Thanks everyone for coming, Brad for putting everything together and
Rockjock for a "$pecial way to $peak" to the waitress at the end. Very generous of you!
Very good company, food, sake and environment.
Arrived at home bit after 2:00 am (but safe) and got up from bed 20 minutes ago, ha!

Got to find the camera...

Who is who - let it be a mystery.
One thing for sure, whoever still wants to guess, Rick is not there.
He wanted $2,000 royalty to post his pic, so I said f-it
And I edited him out...

Just a few to tease:













As you see, we DID have a fantastic time.



PS.
Chucky, stay away from my wife!
