Multiple Herfs on Wed 4/21, Thurs 4/22, & Fri 4/23!!

[zmancbr]

So Eric (GTS21) will be visiting us from Delaware on these days and I thought we could put together a herf or three to welcome him!

After discussing it with Scott, we would like to do a Thurs herf at Churchills around 6 pm till whenever (I think they close at 11).

Then on Friday night, we thought The Celtic would be great. We will shoot for a 5-6 start time, and stay till whenever.

He will also be in town wed evening and we could do a third herf on Wed night. I'm open to suggestions. I will prob only make it thurs and fri since wed night would be a tough turn around to get back to work the next morning.

He is staying downtown right down the street from the Celtic and Churchills.

I would love to, but I won't be able to tell until we get closer to it.

[zmancbr]

What does everyone think about going to the Cave on Wed night? Someone would probably have to grab Eric and take him down there, but I personally think that would be sweet! I could get off work an hour early which would give me time to get down that way, so I would volunteer to pick him up.

[GTS21]

Thanks for setting this up fellas! Really looking forward to coming out. :band2:

I work about three blocks away, so i figured i would just walk over there and meet you all. Oh well. I should be able to be there when the time actually comes for the herf.

[LordOfWu]

Might be able to make Wednesday

[GTS21]

Getting close! I'm psyched. :clap2:

[moglman]

This is going to be some good times, Eric! I didn't post this anywhere else but I'm happy to, at least for Friday night. Thoughts anyone? I did pm Brad but haven't heard back.

I told Brad i'll be in town, hopefully he can meet up. I have to decide if I'm going to carry the sticks or mail them to the hotel in advance. I'm a nervous flyer!

[caveman]

Guys
as you all know the Celtic by now probably is nonsmoking, are we keeping the Friday night the same or are we changing location? We need to figure tgat out!

The Celtic is now non-smoking correct? But Delaney's is now all smoking isn't it? If that's the case we can just move out shindig over to Delaney's. I will give them a call this week and talk to someone down there to verify!

Thanks Zack!

[moglman]

Yeah, thanks for looking into this Z!!

[zmancbr]

Thanks Zack!

Yeah, thanks for looking into this Z!!



Of course... not a problem guys!

I called The Celtic today and they said the smoking changes shouldnt happen for a month or so. Until then the Celtic is just like it was. Delaney's is being re-arranged to make it a smoking bar with more comfortable seating. We can reserve the Robert Burns room room for a $50 fee. I will call again and try to have them just hold the large table for us. Or I will show up super early and start camping. :nod:

[moglman]

We generally show up early enough to take over the Robert Burns room as much as needed. There may be a few after work smokers in there but no crowd until later.

[physiognomy]

F.... It looks like I'm working in Glenwood Springs through thurs afternoon. I'll update with any changes...

[zmancbr]

Getting close! I'm pretty excited for next week.:biggrin:

[moglman]

I scheduled that Friday off of work so I'm really looking forward to this!!

This is a tough choice for me. I can wrangle maybe two passes this week and Friday downtown is a must! So is it comfort and relaxation at the Cave or big leather chairs and $15 scotch at Palace? :help:

i can get him wednesday for sure to get him down to cave

[zmancbr]

Scott, doug is gonna grab him wed night to take him to the cave. I told doug to give you a pm and get his number. I can grab him fri night. Just let me know if that works and ill pick him up around 5 or whenever he is done with meetings. I'm off all day friday so that will be easy for me.

[colimo]

did we ever set a time for Wed?

[moglman]

PM Sent.

Now who's coming to dinner on Thursday?

[zmancbr]

did we ever set a time for Wed?

Whatever time we get there! :guinness_drinking:

I would say give Eric a call and see what time he is free. Then grab him and head that way. I will be off work around 4-5 and that puts me at the cave around 6-7. I'm not sure what time Sean will be there.

[GTS21]

Hey fellas, thanks for making all these plans!! :high5:

I have all my flight info at work, i'll post tomorrow with all that stuff.

I'm not a fan of flying, but the Xanax prescription is filled! If i seem loopy on Wednesday, that's why. lol

[physiognomy]

I'm a definite for dinner on Thurs... I will head in straight from the office & have plenty of time to pick up Eric if need be. Just let me know... I'd be more than happy to help out if I can.

Looking forward to the latter half of this week! Bummed I can't make Wed night as well...

[GTS21]

Hi guys....I get in to Denver at 3:40 PM, Southwest flight 381. i'll get a shuttle to the hotel, and hopefully should be ready to head out for dinner/smokes by 5/5:30?

My cell phone is 302-893-7351. Thanks! Eric :rock:

[physiognomy]

Thursday -

I'll be able to get away from the office early, so I will run over to the Sheraton and pick Eric up when he's ready. We'll likely be at the ChopHouse until around 6:30-7ish and head straight over to the Brown when we are done.

Just talked with Shelly at Churchill's and reserved a table at 6:30pm for 8 under my name ... Dinner might run a little past 6:30pm, so if anyone is there at 6:30 to snag our table, that would be great!

[moglman]

Nice job Peter!

[zmancbr]

Awesome! This is gonna be a killer next few days!

I wish I could make dinner thurs night with you guys, but I won't be back into town until 6-7... have fun and see you guys after at Churchills!

[b0rderman]

Very excited! You guys have fun tonight and I'll see everyone tomorrow...woohoo!

[moglman]

Are you coming to dinner Stefan?

[b0rderman]

I think so Scott, PM...


Day 2 is here...woohoo!:bounce:

[moglman]

I have changed the reservations to 4 for tonight at the ChopHouse. If anyone else wants to come, let me know so we can update them again.

1. Eric
2. Scott
3. Peter
4. Stefan

[b0rderman]

The weather downtown is clearing up, for the time being.:nod:

[physiognomy]

What an awesome afternoon/evening! Thanks to everyone for their friendship, conversation, & generosity... Already looking forward to tonight!

[moglman]

Great meal and great company and just incredible cigars. After I get my errands done I'll be ready to start again.

[b0rderman]

Well that was was an all-time night...thank you all for your generosity!

[sepp]

damned sorry I had to miss last evening... so looking forward to tonite!

[colimo]

WHAT an incredible learning and smoking experience the last couple days....thank you!!!

wish i hadn't missed out on tonite...sounds like it was fun

[physiognomy]

Is it just me that has a hankering for banana bread? ;)

Thank you just doesn't seem enough... A night that will be remembered for sure!

[sepp]

Wow! What a great night. What a great week. Thank you!

[moglman]

I regret sincerely having to leave early but the headache only intensified. I thank Eric and all of the CFRH brothers for their generosity, spirit and community. I very much enjoyed last night and this week. A stellar time! I had my camera both Thu and Fri and completely forgot to pull it out. :(

[zmancbr]

I have to agree with Peter! Thanks just doesn't seem to be enough. I had such a fantastic time. A great few days with friends that will be a great memory for a lifetime. Truly a priceless experience and great week.

Thanks for everything Eric I hope you had a great time with us and a safe flight back. Glad you got to see the mountains on the drive to the airport this morning. It would've been a shame to be here for 4 days and not see them at all.

[caveman]

It was nice to meet Eric and see everyone on Wednesday. Thanks for the smoke Eric!:rockon:

[zmancbr]

Some pics for you to enjoy. I wish I had remembered my camera to take some better pics of the cigars and to get some pics of us enjoying the herfs, but alas I forgot. All of these cigars were courtesy of Eric. Thank you so much for you generosity. This was no doubt and event to remember.

It was truly a wonderful time and I really appreciate the hospitality shown by all of you. From making all the plans, carting my fat @ss to and from the airport and around town, to the incredible conversation and cigars, you guys really showed this out of towner a great time. And the waitress at the Keltic wasn't too shabby either. :smile:

Thanks again guys! If any of you are EVER anywhere near Delaware, let me know and we'll light up some shitty old sticks! :wink:
