Sounds god to me, I'm sure Telle and I could work something out. We're celebrating our 5th anniversary over columbus day weekend so we'll be free to meet up one of those night (leaving the kids in their grandparents capable, if extremely spoiling care)

Keep us informed!

I figured if we would do it, we could do it before the winter starts to really hit. Also, I'm hoping a job comes through out-of-state.

MacroGuru

Mrs. MacroGuru might be as well, just can talk sports with the rest of us...she just doesn't speak sports geek all to well though :D

Sounds like we can certainly get something together. Chubby and his fiancee came up last spring aqnd we took in a Sabres game and had Dinner before at Friday's and drinks after at Pearl Street afterward.

We could all meet at one spot for dinner then perhaps head down to chippawa for some drinks and music?

I am too, because I do not know a lot of people up here except for my 2 business partners.

My wife went and picked up a part time job just so she could meet people, she has more friends than I do up here! LOL!

Anyways I work downtown, in fact I am staring at them tear up main street right now.

Anytime anyone wants to meet up for food, drinks, Sabres and Bills games and what not...I am more than willing to meet.

It's not tough to make friends here. The people are usually pretty friendly around here.

I know your a Lions fan, and I'm not sure on your love for hockey, but are you going to become a Bills/Sabres fan? Your kids would have a blast at a Sabres game.

Actually we are slowly converting to becoming Bills fans. I have a contact that has gotten me tickets to the Bills games. We were there opening day, 7 rows up behind the Seahawks bench. We were yelling at Hasselbeck causing total chaos.

As for Hockey, we dig it a lot and are excited to have the Sabres, our Investors gave us their tickets for a game last season...In fact one of our investors is Jerry Jacobs but we still told him we couldn't root for a team from Boston!

For me and friends it rolls more along the lines of...I work from 6 am to 6 pm M - F (2 hours in the morning from home, the 30 minute commute, then work till 5, with a 45 minute commute)

When I get home it's immediately cook dinner, followed by helping the kids with homework.So my free time are the weekends and with it being football season, I become a hermit watching games.

But the people I have met at the Bills games and Darien Lake have been pretty cool

I figured the 8 o'clock start would allow you and the others some time to get home from work, do what you got to do, without having to feel rushed. Hockey games move pretty quickly (should be over around 10-10:30ish, I'm guessing).

We live in the East Amherst / Clarence area but are willing to drive anywhere for the meet.

We have a little bar on the corner of North French and Miller sport, they have a few big screen TVs in there, plus all mixed drinks are doubles and anything on tap is the large glass (I think it's close to 32 oz) and it's damn cheap.

If RendeR and the rest like the idea, it sounds like a date.

Yeah, you get off the 290, head north on Millersport and it's on your left when you hit North French.

Sounds good. If the others can do it and they like it, I'm in.

Off topic, I can see why some of the clothes at Express might not appeal to some guys (went into the store today in Rochester-haven't gone in that place in quite a few years, it isn't cheap). Not much of a selection, but they're sort of all over the place in their style.

RendeR

10-15-2008, 02:13 PM

Actually it won't be a huge change at all. Connolly is a perrenial injury vitim so mcAurthur has had significant time playing in his place. looking at the current depth chart There really shouldn't be any let down at all based on whose on the ice.

I am glad that none of the guys in the fight (Kaleta, Rivet, Mair) got suspended. losing any one of them would have been a big hit.

GO SABRES!!!

He's solid. He won't set the world on fire or anything, but he's an upgrade over T-bone. I think it helps that the defense is better as well.

As for center, I think they'll be alright. Hecht is out for two or three weeks, and Paul Gaustad will return in the same time, I think. I have no idea when Connolly will be back.

I don't know much about Ellis. I guess he's a hard-working, steady player.

Yeah, it will probably be closer to 8 but even if I stay until 4 (time I'm scheduled but I can book it early if it's slow) I should still have time to go home and grab stuff if I forgot it (change of clothes, wallet, whatever) and make it by gametime. 2.5 hours from the house and it's usually a little less if there's no traffic on the thruway. If everything runs smooth I should be there closer to 7

Not really about your get-together, but this seemed like the place for a regional recommendation. Very nice restaurant Schimschack's with a fabulous view not too far from either Buffalo or Niagara Falls:

http://www.schimschacks.com

Just had their Sunday (until 5:30) family special... soup, salad, dinner with sides, dessert, and coffee for $13.95. Mine was good enough I would have been very pleased had I paid $40-50 for it. (Their regular menu prices are maybe $16-28 for dinner entrees)

I'd highly recommend it... the food is very good, the service is good, the view is gorgeous, and they's good people. Give it a try sometime.

I actually live pretty close (one of the entrances is right down the road from my house) to Letchworth State Park. A beautiful place. I've heard the Glen Iris Inn's Restaurant is an outstanding (and pretty romantic).

If you wanted to do a family weekend trip next summer, take a drive across the border to Toronto (2 hours). Fifth largest city in North America and a ton to do. A fun city that is a lot of fun.

Ontario Place, the Toronto Zoo (It's one the largest in the world, I believe), the Hockey Hall of Fame, Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Science Center, the wide variety of sport teams, restaurants (I believe that Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world), and a ton of other stuff.

Funny story, I had a contract with Corel and my liaison at Corel had dated one of the former Sens players and he had recently been traded to the Lightning, well while I was there for the couple of weeks she took me to several home games and out to meet the players who were all cool.

Nice.

The brawl from the 2006-2007 season sort of took the rivalry up a notch. However, it's always been a rather physical rivalry. I think now that we a little more gritty, it'll be fun to watch (even though Rivet and Goose will be gone for this first game on Monday).

Hey folks. Just got home (stayed at my friends house next to the Galleria the last two nights).

I had a blast. How can you have a better hockey game, new friends (I even picked up a pretty sweet new Sabres cap yesterday at Lids) and pretty sweet bar/restaurant (great find, Dennis)? If you need more money to cover the check, just let me know. I know it was a pretty big bill. Too bad I had to drive back. I could of had more (though your sour and vodka looked pretty good, or a a glass of Bailey's sounds good).

It was loud (I'm sure RendeR and Telle had a hard time hearing me across the table), but still awesome. Hopefully the wife and the remainder of the gang can make it. Keep us updated on the job situation. It would stink if you had to move back to Utah (I mean, I don't think your wife would find friends and night outs like she has here. :) ). Sounds like your family and you have grown to love the area.

My goal in the next few weeks to try to find a full-time position in the Buffalo area. Looking forward to a gritty, physical Colorado game tonight.

The job situation is all good, I found out they have guys living in Mexico and the Dominican Republic so it would still be cheaper to fly me from here than those guys and if they make me fly out of SLC I will fly myself in the night before and crash at families, we are not moving from Buffalo.

Again, I definitely had a blast and when I get back I am thinking of hitting that place again for away games.

I figured Buffalo with be cheaper with the low-fare airlines here, and SLC being a hub city for Delta (as hubs are usually more expensive to fly out of).

Edited: Kind of rambled on my post from earlier, so forgive the grammatical mistakes in that post.

What do you do/want to do Galaxy?

Not sure I can offer any help but having other people poking around for you too can;t hurt?

I'll plan on downing a few shots to move myself along. I could use a god bender myself. Telle got to enjoy the last couple nights out so she can make sure I get home in one pice this time ;)

Sorry I missed this post earlier.

My is interest in hospitality/tourism industry, but I'm open to any business-related position. I can e-mail you more info on my background and my resume if you wish. I plan on sending out more cover letters/resumes by Wednesday.
