GG Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 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. jw Hey if this works well this year, you can set up a webcam at Swannies and the out of towners can have a virtual happy hour next year.
Just Jack Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 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. On Facebook, someone asked him about blocked Twitter followers showing up. He said... "I'd be disappointed if none of them did. I've met people I've blocked out in public before. It's always been a pleasant discussion of why I do what I do."
nick in* england Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Am currently considering sleeping in my truck and bunking off work on Wednesday to be there... If I am not, I'll see you all soon I'm sure.
Fan in San Diego Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Damn that sounds interesting, if I lived in the area I would definitely attend.
CowgirlsFan Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Have a great evening! I will be there is spirit. And speaking of spirits.I guess this means the vanilla vodka there is safe for the night.
rafter Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 good spot. good wings & cheap beer. wish I could make it
bbb Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Folks: A couple of us media types are rounding up for a night of football talk at Ye Olde Swannie House. It's set for Aug. 27, which is this upcoming Tuesday. And it'll start at 8 p.m. There's no cover (unlike a team-sponsored event that night). The drinks are cheap. And so's the atmosphere, which is a good thing. Feel free to show up, ask what you want and have a good time. Linky: http://www.trendingb...-tuesday-night/ jw Isn't it kind of a pricky thing to do to GR if you and I think Tim go on air there sometimes? I think it's a great idea, but if I was GR I'd be POd that you were doing it at the same time as their event.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Sad I can't make this event, but hopefully get to tip a few with you before the opener.

You are like the impressionists outsdie the Salon! Hope it all goes well and you get a good turnout.

It's like someone complaining that their discounted meal should cost more. Hey waiter you charged me too little for this delicious meal. Where is the manager? I want to express my outrage! No one begrudges anyone preferring the more formal environment of the Statler. It is a good place to hear the company line.
McBeane Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 No updates yet from anyone that was there? I was looking forward to hear how this event went. I hope it was a good time for all!

Gugny Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It hasn't happened yet. Keep making excuses, homer.
McBeane Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It hasn't happened yet. Haha oops. For some reason I was thinking it was last night. I'll look forward to hearing about it tonight then
Peter Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I would love to go. Unfortunately, I am in Miami and will not be back in Buffalo until later in the season.
