Hmm... How long were you planning to be there? I'm booked for cake and ice cream on account of my nephew's birthday, but I doubt that's going to be an all-night thing and North Babylon isn't terribly far from Rockville Centre. I'll come if I can.

Cool! Say hello to Jackie Gleason for me!

(Or do you mean Wayne Gretzky?)

FaFiF.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'll be away at the in-laws.

[G-Fafif]

To paraphrase Linda Richman, we'll have coffee*, we'll talk, no big whoop.

*I don't actually drink coffee.

I mapquested it and it's a good 45 miles and easily over an hour so I think
I'll have to pass (and it's a work night).

I'd like to see a couple of ya'll but I'll hold out hope that we can have a pre-
season meeting in the city (with a good half-dozen additional bodies than this
years come March) which is more centrally located.

[Guest sharpie]

No can do. Have fun.

Ah, too late and too far for me. Thanks for the invite, though.

boo, long island.

G-FaFiF, wear something Metly. I don't have my Mets gear, but I'll be in a brown coat, Cha in a red leather trench, and I'll, um, bring a Mets Christmas ornament.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no one is going to notice or care what Edgy is wearing.

[Guest sharpie]

Unless it's those red pants.

[G-Fafif]

I'll be wearing the same haunted, far-off look I've been trudging around since September 30.

So Greg - where are the pictures, descriptions and accounts of "My Dinner With Edgy"?

He has them, but he can't disseminate them without the express written consent of the Commissioner of Baseball.

Forgot to hire a photographer for the event, but the Long Island meetup was quite the cult success. Couldn't be beat for the company, the venue, the personal convenience (five minutes from home) and steady stream of Met minutiae that ate up two hours (between bites out of the Pantry Diner's sturdy menu) before we knew it. Good to meet the DCs in the flesh. Always good to find a reason to wear a baseball cap in December.

[Frayed Knot]

Just seeing this now .... ummm, don't think I can make it.

[smg58]

Sorry I couldn't get there, but in general I'd be up for something like this again in the future.

[G-Fafif]

Edgy needs to go on tour.
