No, the steak houses haven't banned me but in fairness to them they also haven't defrauded me and pissed me off; so they would have no reason to ban me.

As for the guest speaker and his bellyache heard 'round the world, I think he's busy hanging out with Frank DiRoberto and won't be able to attend.

Unfortunately I find myself injured, and since none of Net54's ample supply of lawyers have offered to prosecute a lawsuit against the ski resort, boot manufacturer, binding manufacturer, ski manufacturer, and high school girl that set the binding for me, I cannot afford a car service like Bruce.

Therefore I'm in a position where I cannot drive anywhere, despite having just bought a brand-new car that looks awesome in my driveway.

Any Net54 NYC dinner that happens before the middle to the end of February will have to happen without the Crisafulli Group.

And I still think I can take you in a race, DiSomma. I'm getting pretty quick on these crutches.

Here's a tip: If you find yourself being grossly overcharged by a restaurant, or if the waiter tells you that the hamburger you're eating actually is Kobe beef, don't get mad. Just ask to see what other cuts of meat they've got in the back.

[calvindog]

Good point, Rob, I shouldn't get so pissed -- it does tend to spoil the fun. After all, it's not like the restaurant is targeting just me when they commit the fraud.

We plan to attend.

As for the restaurant choice, there are very few great restaurants in NYC
that are not expensive.

We should select a restaurant with excellent food that also offers a venue
which will encourage conversation.

We wonder why anyone raises the issue the car and driver. With taxi prices the way they are , and the difficulty in securing a comfortable yellow,
we prefer to travel in style.

Hi Jeff,
I won tickets from Sport Magazine for Joe's first Super Bowl win in Detroit.... I was pissed at the time, because Clark's catch kept my Cowboys out of the Big game....But my Dad and I had a blast at the game and got to sit with Joe at the MVP luncheon the next day.... I will post pictures when I can and you can laugh at my haircut...

Be well Brian

PS We stayed at the 49ERS hotel, so I got every autograph possible... including Joe on his rookie card and a copy of SI.... I will post pics when I can.

Sir Bruce? Have you finally been knighted?

Recommended attire past this point:

If the Jets luck out and make it to the Super Bowl, they will be embarrased by Brett Favre and and those big mean Vikings.

I gave up on the Jets back when they were unbelievably stupid to give away John Riggins.

Back in the Namath days I was an avid Jets fan. Even went down to Baltimore in the Fall of '72 to see that great game where
Namath threw for 500+ yards and Johnny Unitas threw for almost 400 yards. It was absolutely the greatest NFL game that I
was fortunate to be at......I still have the ticket.

You heard it here, the Vikings will go all the way.

Ted - I blame Riggins' hair - it was between him and Barzilauskas - one of them had to go...
I can't make next week, but if it gets pushed into February, I can go. Lichtman's trial won't go anyway - he'll probably drop a last minute alibi witness/discovery request/expert on the prosecution and get an adjournment. I might be biased on that one though

[Brian Weisner]

Hi Jeff,
I will show up in the spring or fall when the weather doesn't suck..... Otherwise I have to go south for the winter... Give Barry a bite of my steak and the rest to Sarno..... Jeff is paying.... so eat up... or in Joe's case... Drink up... Me too Joe....

Be well to all of my Yankee friends.... Brian

Brian.... definitely come to NYC when the weather gets better.

We can go out drinking, go for a NYC dinner, a yankee game, and we can go out drinking.

did I mention there would be drinking?

[Brian Weisner]

Hi Joe,
I'm all in.... And my lovely wife is dying to go to a game at the new stadium.... We will find a nice 3-4 day weekend and take the city by storm.
Be well Brian


PS I want a Manning vs Favre Super Bowl... or Manning vs Brees... But I can't pull for the Jets....

[barrysloate]

Hi Brian- sorry you can't make it this time around...if this time around ever materializes.

And Jets will beat the Saints in the Superbowl!

[Brian Weisner]

Ok.... Barry has finally lost it..... The Jets will not beat the Colts and even if they did, they would not beat the Saints...
Be well Brian


PS Manning is the best QB/HC I have ever seen...


PS 2 I would enjoy having a steak with Barry anytime... and I hope it will happen in 2010.....
