Title: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 20, 2011, 06:51:38 PM Come one, come all! We need to have lunch together again to kick off the new season of Championship Alabama football. Who can come and where do you want to meet up?
Post your ideas in this thread and we'll work out the details... Go... Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 22, 2011, 03:02:59 PM Come on North Alabama folks, we need some input if we're going to make this happen... >:(
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on August 22, 2011, 03:51:49 PM I just saw this. Good idea NALT. I'm not picky about the location, but I will come if I can make it.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: pmull on August 23, 2011, 10:04:41 AM I live in Decatur and work in Hartselle. I'd like to meet you guys. What day of the week are you talking about (Saturday or weekday). I assume you are talking about meeting in Huntsville?
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 23, 2011, 03:22:20 PM pmull, we have usually (or actually always) met in huntsville. Normally done on a weekday for lunch. Love to have you join us if you can take that much time from work for lunch...
Still waiting on suggestions as to where and when... Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on August 23, 2011, 08:27:52 PM Suggestion Wednesday or Thursday if possible. I can't come on Tuesdays and Fridays because of chiropractor appts. Best food we've had so far is Longhorn Steaks - none of those chicken wing stuff. Maybe we can get Leewillie to come down for Longhorn!
Is Flyboy on CRS? He always used to come. And what has happened to CTG? She was a regular too. I'll drag KokoPuf (aka Hedduk) over there! I need to do it some time after Labor Day because I am tied up with the 2011 St. William Seafood Festival which is Labor Day Saturday, Sept. 3. I'm Chairman of the Dessert committee. So you all come on over on that Saturday, eat some good food and watch the airshow over Lake Guntersville. Fun starts at 10:30 AM and goes until the food runs out (usually about 2 PM) I'd post the flyer but its a .pdf and bigger than the maximum size allowed. Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 24, 2011, 06:08:13 AM Great! Kupkake narrowed it down to either Wednesday the 7th or Thursday the 8th of Sept. Now we need some people to commit to showing up. I like Longhorn too but am ok with pretty much anywhere.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on August 24, 2011, 12:06:27 PM I have a teleconference on Wednesdays that usually lasts until 1130 or 12. Thursday would be my preferred day. I'm ok with Longhorn, but you folks know I'm not a picky eater. :-[
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Leewillie on August 24, 2011, 09:52:20 PM Put me down as a definite maybe.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on August 25, 2011, 12:26:37 PM I happened to bump into Flyboy today at lunch. I told him I'd let him know when we firmed up plans. He and Lee must keep the same schedule book...he also sounded like a "definite maybe."

I told him I'd let him know when we firmed up plans. He and Lee must keep the same schedule book...he also sounded like a "definite maybe." When we first started the site he was having trouble getting to it. He said it was blocked at work. I wonder if that was ever fixed. Anyway, we are on new servers now, so if you see him again tell him to give it another try and see if he can get through now.

He asked me about the place and if there was any activity. I told him it had picked up. Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on August 25, 2011, 01:11:32 PM We'll be there! 11:30 as usual?
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 31, 2011, 06:34:01 AM Let's plan on doing this on Thursday the 8th to accomodate the good Dr. 11:30 is fine.
Now, is anyone going to show up? ???

Now, is anyone going to show up? ??? My availability will be a "game day" decision. I wont know for sure until then. Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Flyboy on September 01, 2011, 09:45:46 AM I'll be a game time decision but hope to be there. We're selling our house and moving across town and the closing for our house is that afternoon at 3. It will depend on what work holds for me that day.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on September 04, 2011, 02:14:00 PM We'll be there that day!
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 06, 2011, 08:15:13 AM Ok, so let's all meet at Longhorn Steakhouse this Thursday at 11:30.
Who is "all in" on this? 8) Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 06, 2011, 08:38:38 AM I hope to be there. Unfortunately the way my work week looks, I probably won't know for sure until that day.
Do we have any way of getting in touch of some of the old attendees? Carson, David, Jonathan, etc? Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 06, 2011, 09:34:27 AM I hope to be there. Unfortunately the way my work week looks, I probably won't know for sure until that day. I sent CTG, Jonathan, and TPLAW an email this morning. Don't have David's email though...Do we have any way of getting in touch of some of the old attendees? Carson, David, Jonathan, etc? Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on September 06, 2011, 09:43:32 AM Nalt -David gives his email on Facebook as unalion@comcast.net
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 06, 2011, 01:20:02 PM I got an email reply from TPLAW saying she would be there and might bring her fiance' with her too. CTG said she can't make this one but wants to be kept informed of future luncheons we have.
Kupkake, Thanks, I'll send David a message too... Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 07, 2011, 08:36:24 AM I got a message that Double Nickle is planning on attending too...
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 07, 2011, 08:41:20 AM Just got scheduled for an 8am meeting tomorrow that will likely last into the afternoon, so I'm probably less than 50% chance now. >:(
I was really looking forward to seeing everyone. :( Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Flyboy on September 07, 2011, 09:13:03 AM My closing has been postponed to next Monday so I'll be there too.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: TPLAW on September 07, 2011, 11:51:08 AM Johnny and I are looking forward to it. Maybe he and Fly can talk band stuff. He's a musician. 8)

He's a musician. 8) Can't wait to meet him TP. I just hope his last name isn't Lowery. >:(Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Flyboy on September 07, 2011, 04:24:34 PM Well crap. It looks like I may not make it after all. Back to game-time decision but it doesn't look good.
TP, what does he play? Once me and Flybabe get moved into the new house I plan to have a "picking under the pergola". A bunch of guitar players, wives, girlfriends (the truly brave/stupid can bring both), food on the grill and a cold beverage picking and grinning under what could be the largest pergola on County Road 41. Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Flyboy on September 08, 2011, 09:05:07 AM Sorry, I'm not going to be able to make it today. Y'all have a good time.
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 08, 2011, 12:50:32 PM Me either. :(
Got out of one meeting at 11:50 and have another scheduled for 1. Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 08, 2011, 02:51:06 PM Too bad you guys didn't make it. Kupkake, Hedduk (or whatever he goes by here), TPLAW and her fiance', double nickle were there as were myself and the Mrs and our youngest, James Edward. Had a great time. Hope y'all can make it the next time...
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: TPLAW on September 08, 2011, 03:44:32 PM Fly, he plays guitar. He's a songwriter for a publishing co. in Nashville. He performs locally, but he's not in the honkytonks anymore (thank goodness). He does a lot of private stuff.
Great seeing you today, Nalty, Kupkake, Hedduck, and 2N! Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on September 09, 2011, 10:08:28 AM Great seeing everyone yesterday! A great visit and I think one of the most enjoyable lunches we have ever had. Sorry Flyboy, Hannibel and Leewillie couldn't make it. TP, thanks for bringing Johnny! It was great meeting him - you have a prize there. And we'll even forgive you for not bringing the Hersey pie!

Speak for yourself, aight? ;) TP, Hersey pie? >:( Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on September 09, 2011, 12:31:57 PM Yeh, she said on Facbook yesterday afternoon that she was going to eat some of the Hersey pie she had made at Johnny H.' s the night before. When I told her she could have brought it to the luncheon, she said she meant to bring one of the pies and forgot! :(

Hersey pie? :( Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Kupkake on September 09, 2011, 08:12:58 PM I've never had one so I didn't know what a Hersey pie is> :dunno: Obviously, you've had more experience in this area! :D
Title: Re: ***2011 Kickoff luncheon in North Alabama*** Post by: Leewillie on September 09, 2011, 08:36:41 PM Sorry I was not able to make the luncheon yesterday. This has been a hectic week for me...trying to help the Mrs. buy a new car. I'd rather take a beating than to shop for cars. Maybe next time. Keep me in the loop for future meetings.
