March 5, 2005, anybody and everybody is invited to Churchills in Boston, noon to 5pm. Got some vendors on board, and promises to be a lot of fun.

Any interest?

Woooo hoooooooo!!! Boston!?? That's only 40 minutes away from me!! Never been to Churchills (rarely go into the city unless it's for Sox or Celts games!), but I'm interested!!

I'm about 40 minutes north in NH but if there's beer or cigars involved I'll try to make it. :al

 

[CoventryCat86]

I might be up for it. I'm about an hour and a half from Boston.

Gargamel's location says Red Sox Nation, but, as we all know, that spreads far and wide :u

Still, I just PM'd him about something, so when I hear back from him I'll mention this!

 

[Wacco]

It's only a couple of weeks away, kids. We have five confirmed vendors sending freebies. Christine from Lew Rothman's new publication, Cigar Magazine, asked that I write an article and send pics for the Summer 2005 issue.

Confirm with me soon, so I can get an accurate head count. I don't wanna run out of goodies.

 

[horrorview]

Hey Wacco, how many ya' have confirmed so far?? Also, where in blazes is Churchills???

I will be there with bells on (not literally). Wife's going to come, as well, so she can shop while I herf!!!!!!!

 

[horrorview]

Oh, and is there a door fee or anything like that?? I've never been to a herf, before!!! I was also wondering if I should bring smokes seeing that vendors will be in attendance. What is the proper etiquette for that sort of thing?

Latest:

AVO and Gurkha are sending reps. I have a call in to Louis Tiant's camp, extending him an invite. We are up to about 60 confirms.

Zero cost. Bring whatever you like, I'm asking that everyone purchase a cigar or two from Churchills, as they are nice enough to let us take over the place. You don't need to buy anything, I just think it's a nice gesture.

 

[horrorview]

Wow! I can't wait!! I'll be sure to buy a coupla smokes from Churchill's to spread the good will

El Tiante? Wow, that would be pretty damned cool!! You should contact the WEEI guys from "The Big Show with the Big O". Glenn Ordway and his cronies are big fans of the leaf!!!

 

[Wacco]

Four days away! We have over 500 donated cigars, another couple hundred on the way. Many accessories as well.

There will be a cash raffle as well to benefit Wednesday's Child

 

[horrorview]

WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Can't wait

 

[Gargamel]

Any other cats showing up? I'll be there with a couple buddies. HV, I should have your package with me.

Hey Gargamel!! Sounds good!! PM me and let me know what the damage is!

 

[Gargamel]

You should be hearing from me tomorrow as long as there's not an agent waiting for me at the PO.

 

[horrorview]

EEEEEEEEEEEEK!

Okay! I'll hide in my closet until then! :r

 

[Wacco]

Some have asked if they can bring an item(s) for the charity raffle. By all means. Just see one of the N.E.W.K. staff on Saturday.

 

[Wacco]

As of today, over 1000 donated cigars. Over $500 in merchandise, and we still have stuff coming in tomorrow.
