Chad Fabry Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 Jimmy Morrison is the kind of guy who refuses to allow friendships go stagnant. He suggested a lunch get-together at a place roughly in the middle of nowhere so that anyone who attends will have about the same distance to drive. On January 31st, We'll be at the Ithaca Ale House located at 111 N. Aurora St Ithaca, NY 14850 (607) 256-7977 I'm getting there by 11 AM to secure seating for however many people let us know they're coming. I've never been to the Ithaca Ale House - I thought that if more than four us show up, I'd rather not be known by name to the owners. Answer here to RSVP to this event, which I'm sure will rival any inspection convention in ACPP (alcohol consumption per person). There are no door prizes.
Les Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 With that new kid, I was sure he would never leave town! Alana is letting you go solo?
Chad Fabry Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Posted January 23, 2015 Alana does not tell me what to do. And yes, she did say I could go.
kurt Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 I can drive there in just a hair under 12 hours......darn, I'm sorry I'm missing it.
John Dirks Jr Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 3:23 from me. Hmmm. Date? Are spouses invited?
Inspectorjoe Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 I'll be there. John, if you want to drive to my house, you can ride with me.
John Kogel Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 For me it's 45 hrs by road or a 9 hr flight. Can you just describe the taste of the ale? []
Inspectorjoe Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 They have quite a beer list, but Yuengling is not on it.[:-weepn]
Robert Jones Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Seems they are taking the same note as the new PA governor. Ooops, bit of politics there. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/1 ... 83370.html
John Dirks Jr Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 31st is not open for me. Have a good time gents.
Chad Fabry Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 So far it's Jimmy, Joe Hancaviz, Gary Blum and me.
Jim Morrison Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 It's gonna be Full...Frontal...Fabry. Looking forward to seeing y'all. The more the merrier.
Scottpat Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Hey, its only a 14 hour drive for me! Y'all have fun and take plenty of pictures!
Chad Fabry Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 Tom Raymond? Dave Tontarski?
Chad Fabry Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 I can drive there in just a hair under 12 hours......darn, I'm sorry I'm missing it. We do have airports in NY.
kurt Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 I've heard that, and I was considering it. I'm finishing up the reno on the apartment building and I got tenants moving in.....gotta close out the deal and tie a bow on it before I get to NY. But damn, I wish I could get there. It'd be a good time.
gtblum Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 I've heard that, and I was considering it. I'm finishing up the reno on the apartment building and I got tenants moving in.....gotta close out the deal and tie a bow on it before I get to NY. But damn, I wish I could get there. It'd be a good time. I'm seriously considering booking a room. Lunch is for sissies. If Chad's wife will let him, he should too. Jimmy is going to dig his way out to get here. He should be in no hurry to get home for the game. Might as well listen to it on the AM station, instead of having to endure the disappointment and have no other escape from watching it. Booking rooms would also make it worth the trip for the rich old guys like Kurt and Les. That way, Kurt could show Chad the difference between his hand and and his wife's. Really, Kurt? Are you going to take that from a blueberry farmer who would rather shear sheep than watch sports? Then, there's the riff raff from Pennsyltucky! Bain, Ben, Erby? Skip the uncle daddy day sack race and get up here. Joe! Bring your recipe book! This guy knows how to eat!
Tom Raymond Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 I'm working on it. Lots of irons in the fire. I'm about due for a play day though.
kurt Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Really, Kurt? Are you going to take that from a blueberry farmer who would rather shear sheep than watch sports? I just consider the source..... It sure sounds like fun though.
Tom Raymond Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Alright, I'm in. I also have a DD so I can empty a few pints too. See ya Saturday.
Inspectorjoe Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 I'd be hard-pressed to have found a better use for the way too few hours I spent in Ithaca this afternoon. After years of knowing them only on the web, it was really great to actually meet Jimmy, Chad, Gary and Tom in person. They were all I expected and then some. The time went way too quickly.

Inspectorjoe Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 Tom, Chad, Gary and Jimmy. Joe with the camera. Marc, I still look exactly like I do in my avatar, even though that photo was taken in 1976. Well, maybe I did gain a pound or two, or hundred.
