TJB Draft Meetup (4/26 Saturday Edition)
Saturday 4/26 I will be working the draft all day, but many more of you will be in the city for the draft or the Jets draft party at D&B, the best way to accomodate this will be the informal “rally-point” style meetup. I am open to suggestions, but this one is close to Radio City (go out the front door and take two right turns) so, here’s the plan so far:
Details
Date – Saturday April 26th
Time – 10:30PMish … depending on draft end-time
Cost – Whatever your liver can hold.
Location – JOHNNY UTAH’S (25 W. 51st between 5th & 6th)
Utah! Get me two!! Thoughts on this? Please reply in the comments if you can attend (and how many you would expect)
On another note, I’m not sure what’s going on with the Friday attendance so far, there were more than 30 of you who wanted to go a few weeks ago … now? Not so much. Please let us know if you are interested … without at least 20 folks for McFadden’s or we’ll have to reconsider that plan.

I have never been to radio city for the draft before…. what time do you guys reccomend getting there to see it? Do you buy tickets ahead of time or is it free to get in?
-
MB it’s free to get in, but you have to show up early early … here’s some details on that

What is the stance on non- Jets fans or blasphemers as I like to call them? I have bad taste in friends.

Bent says: I’m flying over especially so if you’re in the area you have to make the effort.
Can I bring three or four of the flight crew with me?
-
Well looks like I’ll be missing it. I’m an idiot and am going to miss draft day 1 (Yay 4th round) in fact. Go Jets. Def next year. How do we get tickets to the draft itself anyway?

Bent, I hope you mean the Jets Flight crew and not the flight crew at JFK, the guys with the big ear muffs!

HAHA…great movie quote Bent
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can’t tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours? -
How early is early for radio city? 6am?

You know I’m down. I’ll be wearing two jerseys that day – a Thomas Jones Blue Titans #20, and a James Hasty Green #40. I’ll bring my draft crew with me (unless any of them bitch out on me); two Jets fans (one male, one female), three brothers (two Giants, one Bears) and who knows what else we’ll pick up along the way…MB -
If you show up at 6am, you may not get a ticket. Our tradition is that we go to a Yankee or Met game the Friday before and then make our way downtown after, arriving at midnight or one. There’s usually around 100 people in line by that point, and probably 800 or so by 6am. Not sure how many tickets they’re passing out… Radio City is big, but access is restricted to the balcony. I’d be there earlier to be safe…Bent, paul –
I don’t know where I’ll be then, doc, he said, but I won’t smell too good, that’s for sure…
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines…
Well, to be honest, I’ve never been so scared. But at least I have a husband.
A bobby pin? What the hell’s a man doing with a bobby pin?
Look Betty, don’t start up with your white zone shit again. There’s just no stopping in a white zone.
Lady: Nervous?
Striker: Yes.
Lady: First time?
Striker: No, I’ve been nervous lots of times.McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that’s happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let’s see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes.Controller #3: Get me Steve McCroskey!
Controller #2: Are you kidding? Ever since Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, he’s been completely senile!
Controller #3: Yeah, but what about McCroskey?
Controller #2: About the same as Reagan.Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn’t handle it.
Prosecutor: “Buddy” couldn’t handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn’t handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: “Andy” went to pieces?
Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful, how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: “Howie” came unglued?
Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, …it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: …Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, ‘fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
Prosecutor: Over Macho Grande?
Witness: No. I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande. Those wounds run… pretty deep.…AND, THE GREATEST LINE IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES…
I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes…

You already know that I’m in for Saturday night — but I’ll put it out there for my millions and millions of fans (or at least 96debacle), you know, to get the ball rolling . …
I’ll be the guy (most likely) in my blue Titans of New York hoodie.
