NASA @ Captain (FDR) - November 13th, 2010 @ 9:30

[J_Disc]

NASA would like to propose Saturday, November 13th for our trip to the far reaches of the galaxy.

We would like to get this locked down on our calendars ASAP since we're looking at a multi-day trip at a busy time of year.

Thanks.


Edit: After realizing the Pyramids Charity Auction is 11/20, I revised the proposed date from the 20th to the 13th.

Also sent PM to Newman.

[Scott Howard]

I like that weekend.

[Charlie Holmgren]

Damn...that's my son's 2 year birthday party. Its an absolute no-no for me.
That weekend and the weekend before (Animal Fest) are the only problematic weekends for me.

Can we try another one? I realize that its not about me. I just really want to be able to attend all of our home matches.

Thanks!

[Charlie Holmgren]

Nevermind! I worked it!

I'm pretty sure that most of my team can do this date. Are we on for the 13th?

[J_Disc]

Yes, NASA is planning on the 13th -- just not sure yet on numbers. Given 4+ hour road trip, this needs to be at least a one night, perhaps two night adventure, and that just doesn't fly with family schedules.

Any interest in Hero's? Just throwing it out there. We have connections and could make it happen.

Cheers.

[Charlie Holmgren]

Are you talkin about the course Heros? Ive heard good things but have never been. Where is it?

[J_Disc]

Granby, CT -- near Bradley International Airport (NW of Hartford, CT)

[Bill Newman]

@ FDR will work fine

[J_Disc]

As mentioned -- just throwing it out there.

Bill: As Captain, can you confirm the 13th? I sent PM, but didn't hear back.

Any hotel recommendations near course? We'd be coming in from I-84.

[Andy Fraioli]

For the NASA guys coming into the area, you might be interested in a doubles tournament on Sunday at Campgaw. The layout is the long, fun, and often punishing Mighty Layout. Check it out...

11-13 is good

Hotels are tuf close to the course...try the Holiday in Mt. Kisco (15 mins) or find something in Danbury, CT

Pretty sure that Holiday Inn has Captain on tap in the hotel bar.

Bumpity bump. bump. bumpaaahh!

[Daniel Marcus]

Yous guys are so going down...

Yous guys are so going down...

Such big talk for someone with such small letters in their name....not that size matters.

[J_Disc]

We need a start time for planning. We have at least 2 cars making the trek on Saturday morning, so the later the better. 10am?

[Charlie Holmgren]

I like 10...

[J_Disc]

I like 10...

LOL -- you're captain's not a fan of 10am start. Bill wants to start at 9. That's tough for the NASA guys travelling 4+ hours Saturday morning.

How about a compromise. 9am captains meeting to set matches. 9:30 start.

[Brad Dahle]

There is a no frills motel 5 minutes from the course - link below. Many local bars within 10 min. also.

[Charlie Holmgren]

Im a big fan of compromising. Good call with the Captain's meeting earlier.

I'm sure our Captain will agree to this.

I'm psyched for this one!

Daniel,
No way! We are way too hungry for a win in the A pool!

[JohnT]

just wondering if the captains can agree to starting a couple matches late just in case we are running late. mapquest says it is 4.5hrs from cape cod and chris and i are leaving sat. morning. just asking and not a complaint. looking forward to playing this weekend.

[Bill Newman]

so far, we've agreed to a 9 am meeting and 930 (sharp) tee off

breakfast and lunch are coming together

event sponsored and fueled by Captain Lawrence Brewery, Pleasantville, NY

[Bill Stewart]

By Saturday night "Captain Lawrence" will be demoted to "Corporal Larry."

[J_Disc]

NASA has about 7 or 8 headed to FDR on Friday to check out the course prior to match. The rough plan is a 1pm start. We can post here as plans evolve.

For Friday night, there is also interest in taking a tour of the brewery. We've heard that is 5pm to 7pm.

On Sunday, we have about 6 headed to Cranbury. Several NASA players have never been there. Estimate is ~10am start time. The more the merrier.

Cheers,

Cranbury has their weekly doubles on Sunday morning.

[J_Disc]

Cranbury has their weekly doubles on Sunday morning.

I wondered about that, but couldn't find a current NEFA thread. Do they start at 11am?

[Josh Polur]

JD,

11:00 start Sunday for dubs.

Capt. hours on Friday are 4-7. Dark at 5:00 so shouldn't be a problem. I'll likely go. Give cell a call. Saturday hours are 12-6.

Sorry can't make Friday round.

[Charlie Holmgren]

So psyched to play me some FDR!!!

[Bill Stewart]

Here we come CL. Just picture Apollo 17, except armed with nuclear warheads......

[John Mucciarone]

bring it home astronauts.......VSVN !!!
