MyHorseAteTheKid Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I moved away from Buffalo over 30 years ago... But it's great to see that bar is still open... I hope to visit it again some day soon... Go Bills!!!
BarkLessWagMore Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Will Tim Graham be blocking people live? Now that would be something to see.
yungmack Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 This ia such a cool, cool idea. Wish I could be there. Somebody please get some video on this. JW, you have excellent taste in saloons.
Delete This Account Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 This is going to be a very informal event, and we'll be happy to take as many questions -- even the same ones over and over -- as you might have. It's something that kind of just came about by mistake, as the announcement says. We don't know how many will turn out, but the more the merrier. And, who knows, this thing might become an annual event -- or not. It's a great little bar, and we've made arrangements to either take over the second floor or the patio. Too bad some (many) of you folks are out of town and won't make it to the B-Lo til the following week. The trouble with Week 1 is we media folks have numerous stories to write and requirements that put a strain on the schedule. This seemed to be the only day that worked, and it's no coincidence that it coincides with the Bills "official" function, which just happens to be charging $25 per person and features a cash bar at the far more upscale Statler. We thought we'd have one that would be a little more, well, blue-collar. And yes, the Swannie is both a dive and a gem. jw

eball Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Oh, how I wish I'd be in town for this...would really love to see Timmah's demeanor when he can't just click "block" on Twitter because someone dared to disagree with him.

If I lived just a couple hours closer, it would be far more easier for me to get there. On a serious note: Cool of you to extend the invitation; I hope no idiots show up.

I'd gladly reveal the content of my Twitter exchanges with Tim that somehow warranted blocking. For a guy who seems to pride himself on a sense of humor and sarcasm, it was shocking. I'd say all of that directly to his face. But getting back to the point, it would be fun to be at this event -- for all of the "right" reasons. p.s. -- my real name is on my Twitter account. I'm hardly anonymous. Edited August 23, 2013 by eball
