Dbone Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Sounds like a terrific night planned! Can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories.
goalie204 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 if only i could be there longer than just 5-9'ish, oh well.
riazp Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 leave me your raffle ticket myles if you win i'll claim your prize and ship it off to you
Maron76 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I am going to bring my Flip video camera. If there is wifi there I can post right to you tube from it(maybe use that for a quick review or clips from the herf in almost real time). If someone can bring a laptop I also have a pretty nice web cam and we could stream the smoking patio live via Skype. Just a few ideas I am trowing out there. We cant let Tom and Frank have all the planning fun! Should we decide to do a live stream I have a Skype account and will post the info here ahead of time, by Friday. Let me know what you guys think.....
OZCUBAN Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Hi guys Sounds like your going to have a blast.good luck to all ,wish I could be there myself Having been on a event in Melbourne with Rob you guys are in for a good night May all your Cigars be unplugged OZ
tmac77 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I just want to send out a big THANK YOU to a number of people who have donated to the Prize pool for our raffle. Thanks Tony, Lisa, Frank and the Mambo Lounge If anyone else has something that they would like to offer up to add to the prize pool, feel free to PM Frank and I with what you will bring to the prize table and we will include it on the list.

Let me know what you guys think..... For me the whole idea of getting together with people in real life to smoke a cigar, is to get off the internet for once, and have human contact. Personally being filmed or streamed or beamed or whatever is not something i'm interested in
Ghabanos Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Bundy - I'm so envious... Fantastic event planned
IcedCanuck Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Looks like it is going to be a really good night

A big thanks over to you as well Tom. You're negotiating skills got us a great venue, for our exclusive use too and many concessions and goodies thrown in. My negotiating skills, as an Italian, would've gone along the lines of.."you pick the lake, I'll pick the cement booties" Cheers! :clap: :clap:

Personally being filmed or streamed or beamed or whatever is not something i'm interested in No problem, I understand. I was just thinking it would be nice to share the event with those who could not make it, thats all...
goalie204 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 No problem, I understand. I was just thinking it would be nice to share the event with those who could not make it, thats all... You are also right We both are.
IcedCanuck Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Anything going on before 17:00? I'm driving down to TO this afternoon and it's looking like I might end up with a lot of time to kill tomorrow afternoon prior to the event. I've never been to a LCDH and I have heard you guys have one so thought maybe I might check that out.
goalie204 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 anyone getting together before the herf there? OR anywhere? Let me know here or by PM, i might be available pre-herf if anyone would like to meet early
tmac77 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 In order to provide the Mambo lounge with the guest list we have cut off the attendee list as we are very close to our maximum capacity. There are still a couple of spots left so any of you who still wish to attend but have missed this cut off will need to PM either myself or Frank with their full name and contact information (email and phone) and we will confirm via a return email or phone call as soon as possible. This is going to be one for the ages guys so bring your favorite cigars, and leave your worries behind. Oh and don't forget to stock up on ice, Advil/Tylenol and Pepto Bismol at home for the next morning. Cheers Tom
maverickdrinker Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I would be happy to host a pre herf from 2:30 to 4:45pm at my house. LMK if there is interest. Mambo is a 10 minute drive from my house.
riazp Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 as Bart Scott of the Jets said so famously last year in the playoffs..."CAN'T WAIT!"
maverickdrinker Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 DOes this mean that you are in for the pre herf?

Mambo is a 10 minute drive from my house. Art, that's awesome of you. The out of town guys are looking for something to do. I've put your post in the Shoutbox for them to see as well.
maverickdrinker Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 It's open to you 'in towners' as well Frank. I put up a post already to see if there is interest.
