Steve Saxon Offline at Zach's, Mt. Snow, June 13th

Ken_V · April 27, 2009, 8:48pm

Steve is visiting family in Vermont: “flying in on June 9th and leaving the 16th”

[This is Zach hijacking Ken’s post:
The plan so far is to grill some goodies at my house at Mt. Snow, VT. There is the option to stay over at the house if you’d like. It is under 5 minutes from the mountain so people can golf, hike, mtn bike, or whatever during the day if you want. If you are interested in sleeping over, please indicate that in your post so I/we can keep track of who is coming and also who is planning on staying over.]

So let us know if you are interested and any constraints you may have on the date or the location.

By “goodies” Zach means MEAT! Flannery or something like that. Everyone would have to contribute to the food, the cooking, and the clean up.

Ken - sleeping over - Saturday Only

Peter C. - sleeping over - Saturday Only

Hmmm… could work! As it stands right now I expect to be in Denmark for most of the summer for work… but I will be in NYC sometime in June. Sorry I can’t be more precise but that’s just how my life is these days.

zachary_l_a_n_g · April 27, 2009, 10:07pm

I’m already listed as an attendee and am looking forward to it. Bennington is easy for me, but I don’t mind elsewhere. I don’t even mind if people wanted to do this at our VT house.
The weekend would be best for me too

Steve_Saxon · April 27, 2009, 10:43pm

Wow, if we do your place we can order some Flannery’s.

Weekends don’t matter much to me that time of year, but it may matter to others. The weekend then is Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th.

The exact location is TBD, but Steve will be in far western Vermont, so we have discussed Glens Falls, NY, and Saratoga Springs where I know there are good restaurants. If enough people want to come from points east or south, we could do Bennington, Vt or the northern Berkshires.

So let us know if you are interested and any constraints you may have on the date or the location.

Attendees:

Steve

Ken +1?

Zach

Since Steve and I both grew up in New Jersey, perhaps that would make a good wine theme?

Just kidding of course, we can pick a theme once we know more about the attendees and locale.

Would love to come date dependent, +1.

Ken_V · April 27, 2009, 11:29pm

Does the +1 refer to date dependent?

Peter_C · April 27, 2009, 11:34pm

Ha, the +1 is a lock - if the calendar date works .

zachary_l_a_n_g · April 27, 2009, 11:43pm

Pete, assuming this works and you want, you can crash with me at Mt. Snow

Tyler_Rico · April 27, 2009, 11:54pm

Sounds like it would be a good time, I would prob be up for it.

Peter_C · April 28, 2009, 12:00am

Done deal!

zachary_l_a_n_g · April 28, 2009, 1:16am

This is gonna be good!!!

Tyler_Rico · April 28, 2009, 6:11pm

Looks like that weekend works for me, count me in!

zachary_l_a_n_g · April 28, 2009, 6:56pm

Mini Me Flannery Fest!

Tyler_Rico · April 28, 2009, 7:07pm

I’ve been meaning to try a wagyu rib cap, lets do it!

Ken_V · April 28, 2009, 7:22pm

Looks like Zach is willing to let us trash, I mean, use his place at Mt. Snow.

As I understand it from Zach, there is room to sleep 12, but this could involve a little Planes, Trains, and Automobiles action. I am willing to share a room, but not so sure about a bed!

In return for using Zach’s place, we would have to arrange all the food prep and cooking. We would share the food cost among the group. The main event would be on Saturday, June 13th.

What say yee all?

Zach, are there important facts I have left out or misunderstood?

zachary_l_a_n_g · April 28, 2009, 7:25pm

Just that if people come as a couple, please know that you and your significant other may be sharing a room with others. Beds a plenty, but only five bedrooms (ski house). There is one room that’s a single with a queen bed. If no couples come, this is first come first served usually.

The other issue, but those that have met them know it’s not really an issue - is that since this is a family house, I can boot sisters and such, but not my parents! Like I said, they’ve been there before for these things and we all have a great time

Tyler_Rico · April 28, 2009, 7:41pm

That’s not a problem at all. Zach’s pops may play poker tough at first but usually gets knocked out quickly. Always nice when he plays; pads the pot a bit!

Ken_V · April 28, 2009, 7:43pm

Your dad’s probably more my age, so that’s ok with me.

I will probably come by myself the way this event is shaping up.

Steve_Saxon · April 28, 2009, 9:36pm

I’m probably older than your dad…
