Still a couple weeks out, but a few of us are hoping to get together before the Holidays. Nothing fancy, just a few drinks and plays.
Looking at Thursday, December 20th - Austin's Ale House in Kew Gardens (Queens). Directly adjacent to Kew Gardens LIRR platform.
Good place for food, drinks and OTB right in the bar. Probably start around 5PM give or take. Anyone who wants to stop by is more than welcome.
Tentatively signed up so far:
Myself
Pointman
Viscount26
Cardus
Trifecta124

Few guys went there for Ian's Birthday and didn't have any fun...

P....Id be a little leary about being seen with that guy in public..
I hear what you're saying, but Austin's is an out of the way place where countless few would see you with Ian; little to no damage to your reputation!
still too risky for me...besides, he drinks some really wierd kinda beer. Although when I drank it at Toga is was ok...it was free:D

It's funny. We go Austin's quite a bit for lunch.
Ian saw a post that I was going to be there for the first SWLY race and shot me a message to say he hangs out there. He said ask the bartended to point out "English Ian'.
So I asked the bartender, and her exact response was "Jesus Christ, what the f*ck are you looking for him for??"...
Fun guy, fun place... Definitely going to designate a driver or make LIRR plans for the 20th.

Where ever he hangs, he is sure to be the ugliest person in there.

And you thought I wouldn't respond eh. Good to see everyone thinks highly of me
:D
p.s Pats are 12-0 so I don't give a rats a**
If we didn't like ya, we wouldn't talk sh*t about ya. Clearly one of the coolest old guys I have ever met.

Shocking....

Cool doesn't come to mind when I think of Ian, but old does.

Like you, he did give me a couple free beers at Toga...so I gotta think he is somewhat cool.

I'm assuming that you're somewhat local. Austin's is a neat place, with more than enough screens broadcasting racing.
I attended the "gala" for Ian's birthday a few months ago.
You'll have a great time, and if you take the LIRR, the platform practically touches Austin's outside patio. The subways are a lot further away.
Ill take the LIRR. Hopefully Ill be done early that day and can make it KP

Kenny,
I guess you will have to ask for me as the Bartender that day will be a certain Irish Lady. I have no doubt that she will say " Thats the English eedjit or something worse over there"
Hope to see you

No prob Kenny. Was a pleasure to meet all you guys. Your first hand accounts of Secretariat's Belmont, is certainly something you don't get to hear everyday....
We usually hit the Wood for sure. Let's pencil it in.
Enjoy the Holidays.
