Northeast Dadstock It's Official!

[jeffb]

Ok, I got the email I've been waiting for.

January 19th

Come whenever you want. Friday night, Saturday Morning, whatever it doesn't matter.

To keep costs down we can have everyone bring something. OR we can all chip in to cover the cost of food/drink.

I have one gas grill and one fire pit and about a cord of wood to keep us warm. I also have a brush pile I need to burn so I might just put that off for this weekend.

Sign up here...

+1.

[spk]

I am so there.

[Mark B.]

I am so there.

I am SO jealous. Sounds like fun but too far for me. Enjoy.

[Porschephile]

Count me as maybe due to fathers' health situation, what's the nearest train station to you ?

[jeffb]

Porsche - Bridgeport or Fairfield...

Bridgeport has Amtrak Service....

Fairfield has Metro North...

[Porschephile]

Great, just easier for me to take a train just case I have to rush into NYC.

[MADDOX626]

You picked the one weekend I will be away with the guys in Boston.

[Mark B.]

Great, just easier for me to take a train just case I have to rush into NYC.

I would put your Porsche up against any train in a pinch.

[Porschephile]

Me too Mark, but the CT turnpike is murder, atleast if my father goes downhill or worse dies I can take the NYC or New Rochelle and get a ride to Staten Island from business partner.

[PatGlennon]

Now that we have gone official I will have to see if this will work out.

Now, how to explain this to the wife. "I want to go drink beers outside in the middle of winter with a bunch of guys I don't really know 3 hours from home"

Hmmm, keep thinking.....

[CTDon]

Boom shaka-laka. I'm in. chugchug:

[jeffb]

Porshe - On the weekend the Merritt isn't that bad. Its like we're talking mid week rush hour traffic....You might be ok to drive...

[Pepper]

Google Maps says 5.5 hours. That is a good long drive, but not as far as my parents in NH. Hopefully I can come. Will need to get blessing from the spouse.

Anyone want to carpool??? Bueller? Bueller?

[CTDon]

Hey Pepper -

If you don't want to drive, it might be worth checking into airfare. You could probably get something cheap into Bradley (BDL). It's probably an hour ride to Jeff's, but I can pick you up and bring ya down there.

Pepper - If you can find a flight, fly into Westchester county Airport. It's about 45 minutes from the house and is a small airport...Any of the Jersey Dads can probably pick you up. Or I could even meet you if needed...

[CTDon]

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I couldn't help with that one though.

put me as a maybe... close enough to prolly get in on it... but will see.

[North Country Dad]

It's a five-hour drive for me. I have to check the family schedule and float it past the wife, of course.

I'm a maybe. Sounds like fun, though. chugchug:

You are going to a retreat, it's group therapy, no strippers, the worst that could happen is a hangover. There may even be spousel/children chaperones. She can't not let you go.

[jeffb]

I hope we can get more then this to attend

[DarthDaddy]

I sent you some info about a journalist SAHD wanting to attend...

[PatGlennon]

You are going to a retreat, it's group therapy, no strippers, the worst that could happen is a hangover. There may even be spousel/children chaperones. She can't not let you go.

I don't doubt for a minute that my wife will 'let me go'. She is a freakin superstar. I just have this 'i am a crappy communicator' thing going and always wind up screwing up sittuations like this.

In 2003 I never really told her that I was going to NJ overnight to see Springsteen at Giants Stadium until I was packing the car. I am such a putz.

[PatGlennon]

I hope we can get more then this to attend

always good to see the host wanting more guests.

[Don-Dad]

I'm a "maybe"

4-5 hours possibly more with January weather (ice, snow, sleet) might make for a tough trip. Also, my wife is a CPA, she's not a tax person but does have to get all her companies books in order so she usually works close to 60 hours a week during that time.

I know, excuses, excuses :)

[CTdadof3]

Sounds great Jeff, I'm in.

CTDon, pick me up on the way. We can work out the details later.

Just get a snow mobile and drive up...O:) there is no excuse for not getting together DON! You can do it!!! Come On...All the Cool NE dads are...:-P

[2nd time around]

Put me down as "possible'' gotta see if I can get the time off work.

[SteveH]

Also, my wife is a CPA, she's not a tax person but does have to get all her companies books in order so she usually works close to 60 hours a week during that time.


Another spouse to a CPA (auditor for a public firm) -- I'd take a 60 hour week during the months of Jan-March. ;)

Oh, and I wish I could go, but it's way to far for me. Plus, my annual guys' golf trip is right around that same time. :mrgreen:

[CTDon]

<folds arms, nods head and blinks eyes> DONE! chugchug:

My wifes normal work day is 6:30am-5pm, all year round, during the first few weeks of January she justs adds saturdays and maybe a sunday or 2.

If her company sells, then I'd be in for sure, but no word if that will happen before the years out.

[SteveH]

My wifes normal work day is 6:30am-5pm, all year round, during the first few weeks of January she justs adds saturdays and maybe a sunday or 2.


That's not too bad. My wife's hours during busy season (most of her clients are 12/31 year-ends, so she's busy through late March) has been more like 7:30 or so to as late as 11pm many nights. The worst day she ever had was a 33 hour day on a client that had a restatement that they needed done by 5pm on a Friday. She went in around 7am on Thursday and was done by 4pm, with only a quick stop home in between to shower. The kicker was, the company fired them as auditors two months later. :roll:

I might have to just PayPal you the cost of the round, unfortunately. #-o

[Mark B.]

Jeff's running a CASH BAR?!?:shock:

It's a profit deal DAMN IT!

[Gamer_Daddy]

--->Where in CT are we talking? "Outside of Hartford" like 90% of the state? :) The inlaws are just at the MA border, so it shouldn't be too tough to talk the wife into a trip.

--->Shane

[PartaayDaddy15]

Hey Jeff, Tom Peters here i was just wondering where abouts the North east You are from id love to organize a picnic for all the stay home dads in my local area. You see i live in a family where i am the only dad who stays home. I wouldnt say that i am shuned by the other fathers but the tend not to include me in there conversations. Im tryin to make the stay at home dad more prevelant in the world one step at a time. A distressed Tom Peters

[jeffb]

Easton, CT.....about an hour from Hartford...

[jeffb]

This event is a bring your own Interesting Beverage to share with the group....No cash bar...

[Becca's Dad]

Ok, I'm a definite maybe just have to figure out transportation.

[CTDon]

Well,. the scantily clad ladies of the pole don't pay for themselves, ya know.

...No cash bar...

[jeffb]

Well,. the scantily clad ladies of the pole don't pay for themselves, ya know.

Now your are scaring off all the other Dads. Since their wives are looking over their shoulders...Or reading these forums when they are in private!!!:twisted: :twisted:

[jeffb]

Bump....

[PatGlennon]

mentioned it passing to my wife (we haven't see each other awake all that often recently) and she seemed a bit puzzled as to why I would want to go, but seemed open to it.

[jeffb]

Pat - It's therapy. You want to meet other guys that do what you do. Lets call it a conference. No different then if you went to an Association meeting for your industry...Like my wife did a few weeks ago going to the AAP national meeting....

[North Country Dad]

mentioned it passing to my wife (we haven't see each other awake all that often recently) and she seemed a bit puzzled as to why I would want to go....

Sounds familiar. A big ol' blank stare is what I got. :shock:

[Becca's Dad]

My wife is surprisingly open to this kind of stuff. I'm heading into Manhattan this weekend to attend the Big Apple Comics Convention (http://www.bigapplecon.com/) but that is just a day thing (10 am to 6 or 7 pm). Last thing I went to was the Digital Life Convention also in Manhattan. It's nice to be far enough from home (an hour by subway) that other people have to deal with the problems and can't just rope you into taking care everything.

[CTdadof3]

Jeff - I think some of the guys might need your wife to write them a prescription.

"You are suffering from a case of SAHDitis. Recommended treatment: 24-48 hrs of childless, non-family, adult interaction"

[stretch]

My wife has signed off, too, so I'm there like a bear. Again, happy to give a ride to any of the other Boston guys who are thinking of going. PM me and we can make a plan.

[jeffb]

Jeff - I think some of the guys might need your wife to write them a prescription.

"You are suffering from a case of SAHDitis. Recommended treatment: 24-48 hrs of childless, non-family, adult interaction"

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

[silviomossa]

Like my wife did a few weeks ago going to the AAP national meeting....

She went to an AAP meeting just to shoot the shit and get drunk? O:)

[jeffb]

She went to an AAP meeting just to shoot the shit and get drunk? O:)

Well not exactly, but that was 5 days of conferences....We can have some guest speakers if you want.... lol....

But a lot of it is networking with other people...

[jeffus]

You know how many times we talked about getting this group together and it fell thru? I don't. But it was enough for me to say :wtf:, cash-in all my Pony points, and fly out to the DarthStar this summer....

And now you go ahead & pull-off something like this..... #-o.

You guys suck! ;)

I'll be packing for DisneyWorld ..... :-P !

Enjoy the event! Here's to the Dads (and Moms behind da scenes)! chugchug:
Mostly the Dads, though.......:)

[jeffb]

Jeffus, I can pull something like this off again late spring or early summer....There will be other opportunities...

Or you just tell you wife that you need one last party before Mickey....and his Princesses....

[jeffb]

....

[Patrickz]

Working really hard on mommy to let me loose for the weekend!

[Don-Dad]

Working really hard on mommy to let me loose for the weekend!

Tell her there will be strippers :p

[Bollux]

that how to NOT allow him to go. but then if i told the fiancee she would prolly pay me to go.

[jeffb]

I thought I'd revive this thread and see if any of you have been able to get a free pass for the weekend.

[Porschephile]

Jeff,

Still a maybe over here. my dad starts the chemo drug to attack the liver cancer in his lung tomorrow. I won't know if I can get away until prolly second week of December!

[jeffb]

Jeff,

Porsche, No problem. I hope the chemo helps your Dad. There will always be room for more even if you decide the day before.

[PatGlennon]

outlook gloomy. F-I-L's 60th. big shindig in the works that weekend

[jeffb]

Hey guys, just wanted to bump this thread up...

[athomedad]

Even though it was my idea, I'm going to have to pass. We may be going to visit the in laws that weekend. I hope you guys have a great time. I'll look forward to hearing all about it. Don't forget to toast me!

Oh, and Jeff kudos to you for hosting the event.chugchug:

[jeffb]

Hey guys, with just about a month until this event I wanted to post and see who was in who was out and see what we wanted to do for activities. Is finishing my basement on the "todo" list?laughing laughing laughing

So lets come up with a list of what people are bringing.

I have lots of hamburgers that we should eat.

[stretch]

Well I'm still planning on coming. Will bring a case or two of home brew and a couple of smoked pork shoulders. One for me, one for you, Jeff. ;)

[CTDon]

I'm still in. Will also bring some beer (not home brew), maybe some red vino if anyone else is into it.

As far as food goes, I haven't figured it out yet.

[Don-Dad]

I'm keeping this in mind but the wifey already informaed me that she will be working most weekends in January, including her birthday (first weekend in January).

[spk]

Eep.
I'm in, but boy, it sure doesn't sound like a heck of a lot of other people are.
From my guesstimate it's roughly 5-6 Dads?
Jeez, guys, should we consider another date?
I mean I'm still all in, can bring some of the wife's fantastic four-alarm chili, but this is beginning to sound like more of a Dad-Coffee-Clatch than a Dadstock. With SO many Dads bailing I'm wondering if the SAHD Gods might be trying to send a message.
Sorry Jeff, not trying to undermine your generous offer of having all of us over to get drunk with you, but if you're willing to host this event I would certainly hope that it would be just that — an EVENT.
Just a thought.........

[jeffb]

SPK,

CTDon and I were talking about canning it for that weekend. But we were wondering if there would be conflict in any weekend we picked. I too am disappointed that its not larger. I have a few Dads that aren't on this site that are interested in coming. But your right, its probably going to be less then 10...which...well is a bit small.

[Porschephile]

Jeff,

Looking good on my end unless something happens with the kids or my father.

[jeffb]

Another thought is to have this one, then plan a larger one for the spring or early summer. But I'd like still have it.

[stretch]

I'll go along with whatever you guys decide. But it seems like a shame to waste a chance to get together, even if it's just a few of us.

[CTDon]

yeah, i agree. I say lets green light it (have it) and then start planning the summer one!

[jeffb]

I don't care what we do. All I want is to have good conversation and fun...

I have the house to myself the whole weekend...

[stretch]

I have the house to myself the whole weekend...
Yeah. I don't think we can let you get away with that.

[Pepper]

I hate to bail too, but I just found out my only plans already made were already that weekend. This is what I get for not having a January calender yet. I am totally on for mid summer or Spring breakish time

[CTdadof3]

I hope you included me in your head count. I'm in.
Let me know if there is something specific you want me to bring (in addition to some good brew, of course). Or else I'll just see what I (that is, my wife) can come up with.

[jeffb]

Yeah, your included in our count Chris.

On another note, when are you guys planning on coming down?

[CTdadof3]

I'm less than an hour out, so anytime is good. Are you thinking late afternoon, early evening?

[Will'sdad]

I'm should be in although the wife has to check her calendar tomorrow to be sure. I can drive any of the Philly area dads as well.

[jeffb]

I guess that is up to everyone. But any time on Saturday. We have plenty of room for people to crash. As long as you can fit into a crib.:D

Seriously, we have plenty of space for air mattress, sleeping bags, and have three full size mattresses....

And we have no ponies to scare you at night.:p :D

[spk]

I'm still in as well. Have yet to figure whether I'm going with Stretch (if the offer still stands) or solo, depending on when he's going/leaving.
Still trying to figure out Xmas shiite right now, but I can say for certain that I'm in.

[CTDon]

I'll probably get there early afternoon to help Jeff with anything he might need. Or earlier, if requested by our host. I can be there anytime he wants me to be! Have beer, will travel.

[stretch]

I'm still in as well. Have yet to figure whether I'm going with Stretch (if the offer still stands) or solo, depending on when he's going/leaving.
Still stands. Can you get down to my place under your own steam, as then we can just go straight out on the Pike?

[spk]

Oui.

[jeffb]

Early afternoon sounds good to me.

I just had this idea of renting a few video game machines, but when I called the place about the rental fee, FORGET IT. It was $400 just to deliver one game and 200/day for ONE arcade game.

[jeffb]

I might be able to borrow my FIL's Wii

[spk]

I might be able to borrow my FIL's Wii
:supz: Those things look like FUN.......

[CTDon]

So whats the verdict???

I'm should be in although the wife has to check her calendar tomorrow to be sure. I can drive any of the Philly area dads as well.

[stretch]

Um, so you know how I said I'd be bringing some homebrew down with me? Well, um, my dog ate it. Yeah, that's what happened! Anyway, there isn't any more. :oops:

On the plus side, I'll bring a couple of cases of Berkshire Brewing's finest with me instead. And pro > amateur anyway.

Merry Christmas. Mine has been. chugchug:

[jeffb]

No worries...

Anyone else able to attend?

PM me if you want to know how to get here...

[Will'sdad]

So whats the verdict???

I committed to early...looks like she's going to Vegas. :mad:

[stretch]

I committed to early...looks like she's going to Vegas. :mad:
Well that seems fair. =;

[jeffb]

Time to have family step in and babysit!!:D

[2nd time around]

Looking more like a yes everyday.

[jeffb]

Alright, its count down time!! Who's in, who's out. What are you guys bringing? Is anyone planning on spending the night? What time are we going to start the festivities?

I'm looking forward to it.

[CTdadof3]

I'm in. I'll be down around 3pm. I won't be staying the night. I'll bring some micro-brews to add to the community chest. And I was thinking about a spicy shrimp dish appetizer my wife makes.

[jeffb]

Forgot to add, send me a PM for the address...

[CTDon]

In! I'll bring a bunch of beers as well & will probably spend the night as I will consume said beers.

As far as time goes, I'm not sure yet. Wife just told me last night that she has to work that day....effin' year end crap in the insurance industry. She'll only work til 3 or so, but I'll probably get a sitter for a few hours and cut out early to get down there.

I'll think about what kind of dish I'll make and get back to ya.

[stretch]

In! I'll bring a bunch of beers as well & will probably spend the night as I will consume said beers.
Ditto, ditto and ditto.

What do you guys want to eat? I could bring a honeybaked ham. Or I have some nice steaks in the freezer if we're going to grill in the chill.

[PatGlennon]

I have to stop opening this thread.

[Porschephile]

Jeff I'm a definite NO! Just not able to do it this month!

[2nd time around]

Jeff knows I'm in but wanted to let the general populace know as well...I'm in! I will also bring beers to consume and share and thus will be spending the night. I will probably arrive in the afternoon sometime, depends on how lost I get. Is there any specific food you need Jeff, or should we just bring whatever.

[CTDon]

Woo hoo!

Jeff knows I'm in but wanted to let the general populace know as well...I'm in!

[jeffb]

Jeff I'm a definite NO! Just not able to do it this month!

No problem. We'll hopefully see you at the next one!

[Don-Dad]

CTDon, you bringing those psychedelic looking cupcakes that I saw on your blog :) I just happen to click on the link in your footer and saw some swirly cup cakes :p

I hope you guys have fun!

We Wish you could make it!!

[Don-Dad]

I'd love to attend. Wifey already started with the longer hours. 12 hour+ days and weekends til the end of the month. So I'm pretty much stuck at home or limited to kids friendly events :(

[CTDon]

There are kid-friendly cupcakes and ADULT-friendly cupcakes...you know, like brownies! :p :weedman: :supz: bouncer :party2: \\:D/ :wtg:

[jeffus]

Ya know, it's only 140 miles - around 2:45 travel time...:chin:

Hmmmm.....:-k

Wifey's jiggy with it.....:chin:

I do believe 'a place to crash' was mentioned, so it'd just be gas.....:-k

There will be 5shots: :pals: and chugchug: - right?.....:chin:

AND it's an indoor sport - NO CHIGGERS! #-o

I think I'm starting to think that I just might be thinking about attending....

[stretch]

[Austin Powers]Yeah Baby![/Austin Powers]

[jeffb]

Yay!! You can crash here....

[jeffus]

Holy Snikey! - that was a fast response...:shock:.

[CTDon]

DAMMIT, I'm nearly an hour late with my response.

"do it".

[jeffb]

Guys, I'm heading out on vacation to St. Thomas. I might not be on until after the 12th. Don't worry, NOTHING is going to cancel this event. If anyone decides they want to come, GREAT. Just wait until I get back and I'll send them out.

I have three beds, after that if you are planning on spending the night, please bring stuff for you to sleep on.

[CTDon]

I'll brig my aerobed...so those guys traveling further can have the beds. Or I could pull a Mopar and just sack out on Jeff's couch. :twisted:

[spk]

Does everyone know what they're bringing, food-wise?
I can do some killer pulled pork, or if someone's already doing that, some of my wife's wicked awesome chili.....

Pulled pork sounds good to me. I'll bring steaks instead of ham then.

[chuck]

Man, I thought I might be able to go being Jeffus is thinking about it, however the wife is working and I've got kid duty :( Oh well I'll get to one of these things some day.........

[CTDon]

We've got a good representation of meat. Shall I bring some as well, or something else?

One of my favorite 'other' things to make is twice-baked potatos with spinach and smoked gouda cheese.

Or I can bring some marinated chicken or other animal too slow for the slaughterhouse workers!

[jeffb]

So we have a week until the event. Please PM me for my address/phone numbers. I hope the weather is going to cooperate. The extend forecast looks like rain/snow on Friday, but Saturday should be clear. Hopefully we don't get any snow or ice on Saturday....

[CTDon]

I still have your address in a PM from this summer. Wife has to work saturday, but I secured a sitter to get here in the early afternoon. I should be there 3-3:30.

Should I bring those twice baked potatos or man up and bring a real dish?

[2nd time around]

Yes, what to bring, what to bring ??? (besides beer, obviously)

[jeffb]

Bring what ever you guys want. I have plenty of ice so we don't need any...I was thinking of making some homemade soft pretzels, and I'll have plenty of paper goods...

[jeffus]

Who's going?! :huh:

[jeffb]

Jeff
Stretch
SPK
CTDon
CTDadof3
Jeffus
2ndtimearound
2 other guys not from this site...

Did I miss anyone???

[jeffus]

I'll bring some chips, dips, nachos, salsa, pretzels, some pigs-in-a-blankets, and maybe some shrimp.

And a bunch of bagels and a gallon of OJ for the 'morning after'.

[jeffb]

Looks like the weather will cooperate with us. I'm looking forward to it. So I think Stretch is planning on being the first to attend around 12:30? The majority will be coming at 3-30.

So, if you are not on the list and you live within driving distance, why aren't you coming? If you find out you can come at the last minute, just send me an email or pm.

[Will'sdad]

Oh man, wish I could go. The wife doesn't get back until late Saturday night. Have fun guys! Hoist a few for us!

[CTDon]

Good Idea, Jeff. I was just thinking this morning that I'll throw a bunch of bottles of water and gatorade in the beer cooler for sunday AM. Oh yeah, and Ibuprofin!


And a bunch of bagels and a gallon of OJ for the 'morning after'.

[DarthDaddy]

REMEMBER to take a few pictures and of course the GROUP SHOT!!! I want to post that on the DADSTOCK Website!!!!

I wish I could fly out there, but with baby coming any day I am not going anywhere!!! Not even around here... 30 minute max driving window without wife...

Have a blast and a few for me!!!!

Looks like a couple guys will have been at both Dadstock Events... Will they make a THIRD this summer???

:music1:

[2nd time around]

Wifey is making home made chili for me to bring along, should be an interesting evening!!

[CTDon]

nice! We'll either be hangin' outside around the fire or opening all of Jeff's windows!

[jeffb]

Oh man....I hope the weather is good.

[CTdadof3]

weather.com shows temps in the 30s with a 50% chance of some precip. No worries.

[jeffb]

yeah, tomorrow AM and Saturday AM looks like another mixed bag...I just hope it is all rain or all snow...

[jeffus]

I'm going to have to bail. Sorry. :(

I woke-up sick yesterday and, despite my best efforts to sleep all day, I continue my downhill progress today. Timing freaking sucks....

Again, my apologies. Have fun guys, raise a few for me, and I expect pictures!

Oh, and a big Pony salute to JeffB for hosting the event!

[jeffb]

Sorry that you are under the weather....We'll miss you...

[jeffb]

The family has left the house!!!! Now I get to go grocery shopping for you guys....

[CTDon]

Don't forget the air freshener from 2nd Time Around's chili!!!



The family has left the house!!!! Now I get to go grocery shopping for you guys....

[Patrickz]

Have beer for me fellas!!! And have a great and safe time...:pals:

Someone get that Jeffus drunkus'd!

Someone get that Jeffus drunkus'd!

I posted earlier that I've had to drop-out due to an extremely poorly timed cold! I'm in full-bloom right now. You really don't want me around right now. Argh! :wall:

I blame the wife and kid for bringing this home to me and sabotaging my plans.

Thanks to jeffb for opening his house to a night of drunkenness. I haven't done that in a long time. Very cool time.
We are relying on Don for pix, but with his camera bouncing off the floor a couple of times, not sure what we'll get.
And finally, I now understand the call of the Wiii.

Thanks for a good time fellas. Now I volunteer jeffb's house again for NEDadstock, Summer edition. To be continued

HUGE thanks to Jeff for hosting!

A great evening out. Talk turned from tattoos to 9/11 to hot teachers to Superwhy to clingy kids to you name it. Even Tom Brokaw's Manmeat made it's way into a discussion. :shock:

Pics to come later. Beer shit is stinking up the house, gotta get out of here!!!

Great to meet Stretch, 2nd time around and see the other CT guys again!

[Don-Dad]

[jeffb]
