Set a time for the La Bus*** local to us. We'll try to get M2 involved. He's a lush.

Baker, you're really hip to this idea, aren't you? I can try to get some people for next weekend. Why La Bussola, not the Blue Plate?

Don't know if hip is the word, but you've been trying to get something going for some time now. Set up a night, pass the word. Use the first one as a brainstorming session (but don't listen to anything I say) to get this going in Cnetral MA, then franchise the deal out to the other areas. Become a DotCom. Make billions of dollars. Retire in luxury.

Less chance of getting beaten up at La Bussola. Better food. I know the bartender. He owns a TR6.

I know what you mean. I wouldn't go to the Blue Plate without a vest. It's about as rough & tumble redneck as Holden gets. I need to get something started with this though. I have been putting out feelers, as you've seen, it just doesn't seem like anyone but the two of us are up for it. I though NAM would be a goldmine for it, as they seem to be a younger crowd but not so much as of yet

Get a Subaru or a Honda for a winter beater. Start a thread on one of those forums. 'Course you'll need to rent a hall and have cops at the door carding.

Heh.......

What about the VFW on Mill Street in Worcester? Cheap drinks, and I think they have a pool table. I've not been in there in many many years.

Always an idea. Perhaps even like Boston Billiards or Jillians, heck, all of Clinton!

Well, we were trying to get a group of people who wouldn't mind going out for a drink or two every now and again. How's that sound?

mmmmmmmmm... beer.

Heard there was a cool pub (Old Danish pub? Something like that?) here in New London.

Northeast MINIs are too spread out! Anyway, I'm game if there's anything in the eastern half of the state (of CT).

OmToast, I'm with ya! I'm 45 min north of you.
OK, that makes two. Anyone else?

(btw, I'm down that way a lot in the warmer months)

I live in SC but grew up in MA. Heck... I need an excuse to drive up to see a few friends.

let me know when and where and I'll drive up for that event! (provided I am not otherwise engaged in another drinking adventure!)

Hey, I'm in on this, depending on the weekend (I travel a lot)! When in April are y'all thinking? I know we all want to pull the event toward our own respective necks of the woods, but seriously, Boston has a few areas with lots of great pubs within a few blocks of each other! I assume that part of the concept is to minimize or eliminate driving once the revelry commences...

Sounds good to me too!!... only I live down here in New Jersey. You guys don't want to do any 'Pub Crawlin' with MINIs down here. Our friends in traffic enforcement take a really dim view of people enjoying God's gift that is beer, and then jumping in their MINIs. ... You have one beer here and you can be deemed DWI.
