Take Us To Another Place, Take Us To Another Land

Let's Do This!

Ok people, we are a mere five days out from our second ever sojourn into another's territory. Saturday night, SCH goes honky-tonk! Hope you're as excited as I am.

Anyway, for all of you who are coming in our group, and for all of you who aren't but are going to the game and want to meet up before, we've come to the conclusion that the best place to meet up before the game is The Flying Saucer on 10th st. Here's their site. Seeing as how Kills is a professional beer snob these days, it should please his oh so cultured palate.

As for after? Well, this isn't St. Louis where we just find a place that doesn't make us puke and stay there. This is Music City! So most likely, we're just going to get in as much of it as we can after the game. Follow us, don't follow us, just be around when we need bail.

So there it is. Any other questions, post them in the comments. For those who haven't met us before and want to know what to look for when getting to the Saucer to meet the group, I'll be the tall bald due in the Winter Classic Bolland jersey, Kills will be in a white Seabrook one, and has a mane of red hair and beard that will come close to burning your retinas. I will be there from about 4pm until it's time to go watch warmups, because I never get to here in Chicago.

Who's ready for this? Probably not me...

Thanks guys

For raising the ticket prices. Me and the family were going to go. Now of course it’s way too much for a fam of 5 to attend. Really wish I could go. Have fun guys. And don’t worry about partying. Just walk out the front door of the arena and they are right there.

one other thing

if you are driving. park at titans stadium lot r (or d?) and walk across river. its short walk and parking is free. shuttle to arena is quick to arena but dont bother coming back. it taks forever after a game.

just do not go into a bar called...

The Dew Drop In

read the lyrics or you tube “Uneasy Rider” by Charlie daniels. One of the funniest songs you’ll ever hear.

“Well I think I’m gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybdy’d think I’d flipped
If I went to LA, via Omaha.”

That last verse makes a whole lot of sense after you read or listen to the first 25 – great story and I can’t help but wonder if there isn’t a nugget of truth to it all.

Sam...

Are you sure Matthew drinks? In between the 2nd and 3rd periods of the Wild game, I smuggled up two Corona’s, sans the lime, and he put both of them on your coat. As I left, three possibilities crossed my mind;
1. Kills doesn’t like Corona. especially with no stinking lime
2. Kills is a health nut and doesn’t drink – I remember him talking about that workout that was supposed to be so difficult , when he was doing that fundraiser- (The workout had something to do with Jillian I think.)
3. Or he was pretending to give you the beers and as soon as i left he shotgunned them before an andyfrain could take them away or you could return.

At any rate it was nice meeting one of the triumvirate of mentally challenged that night. I was expecting someone about 6’3" and 240#’s – based on that film shot in the Dark Knight he claimned to be in. Obviously, the Hagrid looking dude was not Killion.

by wardrums on Jan 16, 2012 12:59 PM CST reply actions  

come on now...

I definitely drink… I work for a goddamn brewery afterall. I don’t let my “healthnut” status keep me away from beer and pizza.

I was still getting over a nasty illness and didn’t drink much at all at that game though.

good to meet you tough, thanks again for the beers.

This place looks great.

We’ll probably meet there. Just look for d-bag with baby and wife.. If it’s not too kid friendly maybe we’ll meet at game or I’ll send wife and baby elsewhere.

Semi-smokefree

You can get away with it in some bars. Not in any of the chains or urabnite areas.
But, on a happier note. Bars are not gun free. So pack and load with a permit regulator.

Actually,

last I checked (about a year ago), it was illegal to carry in any establishment where alcohol is served (unless you own the bar). They have little signs in the bars with a gun inside a red circle with the slash-out. Reassuring that they have to remind you, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to test compliance by running my mouth.

OT

I just bought tickets to the 3/21 Vancouver game and realized it’s a Toews bobble-head giveaway. Game starts at 7. When would they open the doors to the U.C.? I should know this as I did it once a couple years ago for a Kane bobble-head night, but I can’t quite recall when they opened the doors.

by Ban on Jan 16, 2012 5:02 PM CST reply actions  

You are going to want to get there

probably early than that though. The lines for the giveaways are ridiculous especially for bobbleheads let alone Capt. Serious. If the bobblehead matters that much to you I would recommend getting there before doors open.

Finally ! So pumped

Myself and my gorgeous fiance’ will be in attendance and jacked to meet the group. We’ve wanted to spend a weekend in nashville for quite sometime and just havent made it happen. When I heard about SC’s plan to make it their trip i told her we had to go as im a long time reader and lifelong fan of the Four Feathered ! ( snuck listening to the games on the transistor radio under my pillow in grade school ) … Perhaps you seen me on the Channel 7 TV news sports interview outside the stadium before the Vancouver playoff game last season. I had the “Lord Stanley” customized red jersey. If you do you’ll see it in person. I’ll be wearing it in all its glory Friday night. Hope it makes it thru the night unscathed ! LOL..See you all then

We're glad to have you guys/gals inbound...

Enjoy Nashville…it ain’t a bad venue for pre-hockey/hockey/post-hockey.

A couple of things:
- Flying Saucer is pretty awesome…four blocks from Bridgestone Arena. Comfy couches and waitresses in (very) mini-skirts.
- Strip joints are BYOB…I shit you not.
- Jack’s BBQ is terrific for a local flavor. So is Pancake Pantry for the morning after the Hawks lose.
- The Hawks should have beaten the Wings in regulation, not lose in overtime. What the hell?
- Another post game location is The Printers Alley there are four or five bars that aren’t half bad. Short walk from the arena.

Anyway, good luck…well, not really. You know the deal.

And I promise, no trap.

Welcome to Nashville!

strip joints are BYOB...

that’s hilarious. While I’m not into strip joints (don’t get the point of them), a friend might be able to convince me to go to one if i was allowed to bring my own libations.

While I’m not into strip joints (don’t get the point of them)

The point are breasts. Massive breasts.

but why pay to see breasts? I guess I think it’s a waste of money.

I'm not a fan of strip clubs either

but I’ve definitely spent my money on stupider things

Good question.

I’ve only been to one, and they wore these clear things over the nips anyhow. I agree, plus you generally feel a little pervy while in there.

If you're a male and you want to see breasts of the female persuasion

you’re going to pay one way or another.

See you in Nashville

Making the voyage with the wife from Columbus. Flying Saucer is a great pre and post game spot. Wearing red shirt with giant Hawk on it. Brother in law got me one of those minimalist shirts for xmas. Strangely intriguing. So much so I made it my avatar.
