rockpile

Very true!

My godson is sixteen and a Vikings fan. I am taking him to his first game for his birthday and our seats are in section 219. I am REALLY looking forward to it after reading this thread. 42 years of going to games and never had a problem. I saw a lot of OTHER people having problems...

I am sorry I missed meeting you! Some of us who get together once or several times a year find it easier to mingle, but you must admit EVERYONE was welcome. There is always room for more!

Ouch!

BINGO! This would be cute in a PRIVATE family photo album, but... Money will buy anything I guess.

Are the jobs different or the people? We know the pay is better for her now. I have worked jobs I hated (for a while anyway) when it was my job to financially support the family. If it is a boss, most of the really bad ones do not last long. Make sure the "grass is really greener" at her former job. Did she only leave for the money? Bottom line - happiness is worth more than money (don't listen to Ed ) Good luck.

Thanks - I needed that.

Lori said: We filled every table this year. When I got there, we had one table for TBD with a bunch of us standing around. As far as not filling the room last year, maybe if they put some football games on, people would not wander out to the bar to catch their team. We only got the game because we MADE them put the projector on. It was not really the Jets, IMO. We did fine with the Jagwads and Texans. Agreed!!! That said: I like Danny's for the location, prices, and good food. A couple of the waitresses were a bit bitchy.

Thanks! You have posted your daughter's picture, she is beautiful! Takes after her Mom!

Hell, even if they do not want to confront the a-holes, use a cell phone and report what is happening!

I resent the fact that they put the name Rockpile on the rowdiest section of the stadium I love fans having fun, but not at the expense of others. Also, why do fans: walk IN the restroom door that clearly says EXIT? piss in the sink? scream obscenities at other team's fans? drink until they cannot stand or until they puke? the list goes on... I am not arguing with any of you. The problem is the PEOPLE not the facility. These things went on in the old downtown stadium 40 years ago. P.S. The Wall section on Sunday had row numbers painted on the steps.

... but we have nice wine.

No, he was surrounded by hordes of wannabees and poseurs trying to get on camera. Did get to see "big" Matt from the NYCBBB though. We got to say hello to Kenny, but not really talk. It was "show time". I still am pissed I did not stay and close the Big Tree. Hell, I hardly slept anyway! I think I drank myself sober.

I got there about 5PM Saturday! Went over to Kenny's Pinto about 11 or a bit later. Sorry I missed you. I agree that it did not feel like the "opener" but a lot of things were just not right. Usually cars are lined up at the gate at 7:30 - this year it was a ghost toen (pun intended) at 9 o'clock! End of September - Game 3 Schizo Weather: sun/wind/rain/wind/rain/sun No Bob Lamb No Bill and Pat No MarkVI No LancasterSteve No Bill and Pat No Bills4Life No Cablelady (her own damn fault) We made the best of some bad timing! Highlight for me is that someone won the Rockpile Toilet Plug Hole from last year!

I checked the video - very similar looking (beard and rain parka) but he had binoculars and a different hat.

Here are my photos. All of tailgating - I did not take pictures at the game because of the rain. Some good laughs! TBD 7th annual party

Sorry about your Dad, but do you REALLY think this only happens in Buffalo, OR that this is is a new trend? Just a thought not an argument.

Like a family reunion without the bad seed branch of the family tree. We missed you folks. That would be me! I drove the Griswald mobile! More comments - KEEP the large tent. Loved the key rings! I had to steal my LaBAtt's glass (I mean I forgot to give it back) - even though my tab was for a party of FOUR and I tipped VERY well! I have my t-shirt on today, have gotten several compliments. Yes, if Bernard is a Saint, so is Melissa! I was also impressed that your young son, Ben, called illegal procedure before the ref through the flag!

You are my kind of lady! We missed you!

I'll have some photos up tonight. I was too whipped to process them last night.

Thanks to: Ruth for the Sunday pre-dawn coffee. Everyone who had a hand in organizing this thing. If I list names, I might miss someone. Hammer for his usual hospitality. Good Things: Bigger tent Silent auction Tagging raffle tickets to prizes to speed up the process Rich in Joisey and the entire CNJBBB for the wings The ticket girls (my daughters) GREAT tailgate shirts and TBD hats Not so good things: Danny's - do they want us there? We asked for the big screen to watch football. They said it was not hooked up, then it was , then they could not find any football, so they left it on ET. Luckily, EZC was tall enough to snatch the "hidden" remote for me and I flipped channels until they got pissed, took it from me, and found a game. The room was NOT ours at 7PM. We cleared it pretty fast (heh), but even though we tried as hard as we could to get that last table of interlopers to leave, they didn't. Did we reserve the room? For the amount of cash the roomful of us spent, we deserved better. The BEST thing about Danny's is the location. Improvement: The NFL needs to have opening day on Week 1 Danny's needs to show us more respect. I tip my hat to you all!

So, how was Danny's?

I'll check it out. It was not me though! My first trip I was in my seat until half-way through half time. I got back just in time for the Q3 kickoff.

Ahem. and where were YOU, young lady? Babyrock was asking about you.
