SDS Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I would like to start discussing things we should do this September for the 25th Anniversary Tailgate... Current ideas: Shirts with a 25th logo Looking at a Dinner Cruise Golf tournament Bottle of Blanton awarded to best tailgate sandwich (inside joke) etc... Looking for a discussion on activities, venues, etc.... Please take off-topic conversations elsewhere. Much appreciated. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Can people (me) who have never been to a TBD tailgate participate in a golf tournament? I'd be all over that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I’d buy a shirt even if I couldn’t make it. A dinner cruise would be interesting. It’s been a long time and I wish I knew the area better to have suggestions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, we just need people to think about possible attendance, make plans with any venues ahead of time, etc… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) First off, thanks to Scott and all the admins for providing this exceptional forum. For those of us ex-WNYers who want to keep up with our Bills, it's been a fair substitute for sitting around the local Buffalo gin mills debating and discussing out team. Prior to this development of this site, there was Rochester's Democrat & Chronicle message board, where several of us exchanged thoughts about the Bills. For perspective, this was a few years before 'the drought'! 3 years prior to the 2000 TBD tailgate, a handful of us faceless users of the D&C Hyperbills board met for the season opener against the Vikings. The game was on Aug 31, 1997. I don't remember why it started so early. I was at Rooties, a bar and wing joint on Millersport Hwy near UB Amherst, sitting with one of the multiple-personality comedians who trolled the message board. The screen flashed the news and the wreckage in Paris that killed Princess Diana. Oh well, pass the blue cheese. The Bills lost that weekend of course, but we had a good time. That was the last tailgate party I experienced with anyone from here, but maybe I'll make it up there for one of the tailgate parties before my body has other ideas. Hope you all have a great time. As Russert said, "please Bills, just one [super bowl win] before I die". Go Bills! Edited March 6 by SoMAn 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills, Golf, Guitar. A weekend with at least two of those would be fantastic. Find me a drummer, bass player, and singer that can play Rush, Triumph (for you SDS!), and some fun punk rock and the weekend would be complete! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I don’t golf. Well, I haven’t in about 15 years. And I was never good at it before. But if the golf day is a thing I may be interested. Can @Simon be my partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible timing on your part, Move it to last week of August/First week of September, worked for us, weather was great and we made the opener. (need I remind you that you are one of the only TBDers to attend all of the Opening tailgates?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this will be our 35th wedding anniv and close to wifey's 60th bday. It all depends on when they're running the itinerary we want with the land extension up to Denali/Fairbanks.

Einstein Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Not everyone can golf, but most everyone can drink and play games. What if we rented out Dave & Busters for the night before? I went to a private party there and it was a blast. Lots of drinking, wings, and games. Drunk skee-ball is more fun than it has any business being.

muppy Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I haven't seen much discussion on a few venues. I'm not local. SO: Dinner on Saturday night would be great but I suggest early like 5pm. It's just me but I will be at the hammers lot at the crack of dawn. Trust me it is how I roll for Bills games Hammers lot is a given game day tailgate.EARLY or BUST Golf venue may be covered. Harbor Cruise? I'm curious but non committal. ideas? Edited March 7 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
