sodbuster Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 The Amerks game was actually MODOs idea. He's with us after all because of Ullmark. I just happened to have a bunch of extra tickets. There's 4 of us confirmed so far for the 24th. It's upthread a bit. Let us know.Ok, all caught up. I'm definitely in for that. I was kinda bummed that I was gonna miss the meet up in Buffalo, but I can certainly do Rochester. Also, I just realized I have never been to the Brew House. I'm not sure how that happened.

That place is growing. There's a $45mil expansion project slated to start there soon. Brewery expansion, Brewhouse expansion and retail. They may even kick the heroin addicts out of their shanty town over there by the outlook to High Falls. Once they clean those fools out of there that whole area is going to grow.

MattPie Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Phone: I've never tried doing pre-paid in the US, but I know what you mean having done it in the UK. It's not as common here as most people do locked phones and switch phones when they switch carriers. It's not as nice as the Europe model where you can bounce between carriers and phones easily. There is this, which I can't vouch for but it seems like what you'd need: https://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-international-tourist-plan Birch beer is going to be WAY too much for a European palate. Trust me. Just watching them drink root beer is enough fun. Ink's seat is next to mine. So beware. Make sure to give him some Vernor's too.

I think ginger ale (and Vernor's borders on ginger beer, but same thing for these purposes) is pretty well known across the waters. I know I've had it in a couple of countries.

Bless Vernors. I don't find it very often up here, and I miss it. Every time I go back to NW Ohio, I binge the stuff. A little taste of home.

ubkev Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Full disclosure: I've never seen a Buffalo team win in person. The bills are 0-12 when I'm in attendance. I've never seen the Sabres play live. And UB always lost when I went, even the turner battle team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sitting next to a guy who was like 0-4 lifetime with the Sabres until this year, where I've seen them win 4 times in 4 games. Don't worry, you'll see your first Buffalo sports victory live in 11 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm planning on seeing a win. I'm also planning on some fun pregame activities and conversations, Eichel scoring a goal and me driving for a really long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Knowing my luck, this is going to be the one plane that runs late. I'm hoping to get to pregame stuff but I don't think I'm getting into the airport until 3 or so. If my plane is more than an hour late, I'll probably just have to show up at FNC, but we'll see.

Samson's Flow Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) It's gonna be awesome, being at work at 9am Sunday morning will not be... Have the pregame meet ups been ironed out and etc.. I think the Northtowns folks were going to meet up somewhere on Main St. by the UB South Metro station (The Steer I think but I can't remember for certain) for pregame then take the train down to the game so as to avoid impaired driving and provide maximum festivities. I don't know of any other meetups that were arranged yet, but there is still time. Somehow this got lost in the shuffle. Maybe we can get it pinned since it's happening in a month? MODO, I know you're still not sure if you're going to be making it, but as far as hotels, there are a lot of good options downtown. I haven't booked our reservations yet, but I've been waffling between The Lafayette and the Marriott at the Harbor Center itself. With that in mind, those who are coming for sure, I believe our gameplan for Saturday is to meet at Gabriel's Gate for wings/food before the game, and then hop on the metro rail and take that down to the game. Are people looking to go back out after the game? Drinks at 716? Back up to Allen? Turns out I wasn't even close. Gabriels Gate a few hours before the game - say 4:30? - and then hop on the Metro. Gabriel's Gate 145 Allen St, Buffalo, NY 14201 It's only a 2 block walk or so to the Allen/Medical stop on the Metro, which is the last of the pay to ride stations before it comes above ground downtown. I knew we were riding the Metro, but as you will soon realize, don't rely on me for anything relating to memory... :doh: Edited March 14, 2017 by Touched by Boyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably about right. I think check-in for Josie and I is at 4:00, so we'll scoot up to the bar after we're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
