FOFC Meetup: Detroit Edition

[ice4277]

So Detox and I were thinking, with the Tigers on their miracle run, and football season kicking into gear, now would be a great time for a celebration of Detroit sports with our fellow southeast Michigan/northwest Ohio FOFC'ers. We were thinking something along the lines of heading to a sports bar to catch a Lions or Tigers game around the Royal Oak/Ferndale/Troy area, since it seems like that's where a lot of folks on here are from. Date/Time is up for debate, but a Wednesday or Thursday evening might be best for a Tigers game. Drop a post in here if you are interested, or PM Detox or myself.

I'll bring the college chicks.

I knew I could count on you for something.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'll be in Detroit next week!

[Greyroofoo]

I might be in Michigan in a couple weeks

[TLK]

I'm in as long as the time works. I have weekends off, but work nights during the week. Perhaps a Saturday afternoon for college football?

That could definitely work too.

[ice4277]

I'll be out of town then, or else I would definitely let you buy me a couple beers :D

[Pumpy Tudors]

I predict that Eastern Michigan will score more points than the Detroit Lions this season. Ship it.

[Passacaglia]

I go to Detroit pretty often, course most of those weekends, I'm really busy. But who knows, I might be able to make it!

[Bea-Arthurs Hip]

I would be down for this.

You may be on to something here. Of course, Eastern's D will allow more points than the Lions and Eagles score combined.

[Router Help]

I'm down. I'll be out of town Aug. 21-28 however.

[DeToxRox]

College football sounds good. But yeah weekend works best.

[gi]

24 Seconds has okay beer (Front is better) and good TV's. Plus I could walk to the bar. :)

Wednesday's is out for me because I either have volleyball or tickets to the game. Thursdays are much better. Weekends are workable.

The Front is the absolute greatest bar ever. I try to get there a couple times a month. 24 wouldn't be a bad place to go, its no more than a mile or two for 4 or 5 of us.

If I remember correctly though, the Front doesn't have the greatest TV's to watch the game. Anyone?

No, the TVs there suck. I just meant that, in general, it is a great bar. But not the best place to go for a general FOFC meetup.

Damn gents, I will be in town for my sister's wedding Aug 25-27. Rehearsal crap and actual wedding stuff will prevent me from attending. Maybe next time.

(Spent the first 21 years in Michigan)

[Honolulu_Blue]

I'll be up for this.

I can promise no college chicks.

Did I miss where it was decided it would be that weekend? I'll be in town that weekend as well, but my own wedding stuff will prevent me from attending.

[ice4277]

No, the weekend is still up in the air, but I think a college football Saturday looks to be the best bet. Any takers for the 2nd, 9th, or 16th?

16th is the high school hockey golf outing, as one of the coaches I gotta' be there. Plus it's a helluva lot of fun. The other two work.

[Router Help]

9th is looking like the best for me.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Between the 2nd and 9th, 9th is best for me as well.

[Balldog]

I am actually moving to Sterling Heights/Uttica in two weeks!

Nice! We will be expecting you at the meetup.

Leave the Buckeye swag at home and we're okay. :)

Moving for a job or what? Not too far away at all from us.

If ya got any q's or stuff about the area feel free to ask.

[ice4277]

dola

It sounds like the 2nd or 9th would work best for most folks. Personally, I think the 9th may be better, some of us probably have Labor Day weekend plans.

Yes, I got a job in Sterling Heights. Going to look at a couple apartments tomorrow, one in Utica and the other in Shelby Twp. One of my good friends lives in Sterling Heights, so I am somewhat familiar with the area.

[Balldog]

Oh and Go Buckeyes!

[DeToxRox]

Oh and Go Buckeyes!

Cut that out.

[ice4277]

You're probably safer being an OSU fan in Michigan than a Michigan fan in Ohio.

But you'll still get you tires slashed ;)

[DeToxRox]

so does sept 9 work for most people?

[ice4277]

so does sept 9 work for most people?

Yeah, that should work. We just need to narrow a place down. Any suggestions from folks? Off the top of my head, Spectadium, BW3's, 24 Seconds, Bailey's would all be solid choices.

[TLK]

9th works for me.

[gi]

I can do the 9th.

[JeeberD]

Y'all need to watch the UTEP-Texas Blech game on CSTV and try to catch me making a drunken fool of myself in the Sun Bowl!

[ice4277]

try to catch me making a drunken fool of myself

That is what the drunk thread here is for ;)





Ok, it sounds like the 9th is the date. Next question, where do you all want to go?

[Router Help]

What's good in Ferndale, Berkley, Royal Oak for Football watching?

Mr. B's or Snookers in Royal Oak?
Buffalo Wild Wings in Ferndale?
Berkley?

Berkley?

I am heading out on the Royal Oak pub crawl tonight, so I can see if there are any other decent places in Royal Oak for this. Thus far I've done very little in the way of bar hopping in Royal Oak.

[GoldenEagle]

I will be there.

[ice4277]

So, is there still a desire for this to happen this weekend?

[Balldog]

Count me out, I'm heading back home to watch the OSU-Texas game with my old man and golf with my brother this weekend.

[ice4277]

With the lack of response on this, it might be a good idea to hold off for a couple weeks.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Yeah. This weekend quickly filled up on me without me having much (if any) say about it.
