NYCA 2nd Annual Event; BBQ on 9/29/07!

[PhilDernerJr]

Come to the NYCAviation BBQ!

September is a huge month for aviation every year, and in addition in addition to the many local events, NYCAviation will be having a BBQ as our 2nd annual outdoor event!

On Saturday, September 29th, after LGA Kids' Day, we will assemble at the home of our good friend Vinny Pace in Howard Beach under the 13L approach path! Come by after Kids Day to relax, eat and socialize with all of our friends!

When:

Saturday, September 29 at 5:00pm- 11:00pm

Where:

157-43 101st Street
Howard Beach, NY 11414

WE will provide burgers, hot dogs, buns and condiments. We ask that YOU folks bring snacks you prefer, beverages, desserts or special meat you prefer (veggie, steaks, etc.). Homemade desserts a plus ;)

Alcohol is allowed, but it is BYOB and we ask that people drink responsibly both while hanging out and on their way home afterwards.

Just like the picnic last year, we are trying to set up a raffle. Once details are cemented, I'll pass that along to you all.

I hope you and your families can make it. I myself really look forward to seeing you all again.

See you there!

(ask questions, make suggestions and whatever comments you might have)

[HPNPilot1200]

I'll try to make it down there, sounds like fun and a good opportunity to meet some of the faces.

[stuart schechter]

Unfortunately, I will be able to go to Kids Day, and then go right back to school. God I hate being a boarding student when I live 15 minutes away!

[cancidas]

damn, same day as the paintball game i was going to on SI. sorry guys, i'll be in cali that weekend for the SNS airshow.

[PhilDernerJr]

If people are planning on coming, please chime in to let me know so I can plan appropriately for food and such.

[Iberia A340-600]

You can count my dad and myself in, Phil.

[Nycfly75]

I, of course will be there :)

[moose135]

Count me in...

[flyboy 28]

Both my parents and I will be attending. :)

[JZ1]

I will come. It will be great to see some of you guys.

BTW, when does the Kids Day start? 12:00pm? Hope the weather is good, not like last year.

[RDU-JFK]

There any bus lines that go out near there? I might be able to make it but not sure if I can drive out there...

[MarkLawrence]

Can't make it unfortunately, but I'll do the raffle the same as last year if that's ok Phil?

[Nycfly75]

Take the A train to the Howard Beach-JFK Station. When you exit the station, go to your right then make a left on 159 Avenue and proceed two blocks to 101 Street. Make a right on 101 Street and walk up 2 blocks. Its about a 8-10 minute walk. Also MTA Bus Q11 stops at the corner of 157th Avenue and 101 Street. After getting off the bus, walk up 101 Street toward 158th Avenue.

[Art at ISP]

Unfortunately Mrs. Art and I will be in Houston at the Continental Airlines/Flyertalk event. It would have been nice to spend my birthday with you guys and gals though.....

[PhilDernerJr]

Excited about meeting some of you!

Sorry to hear you can't make it, Art. I hope to see you soon though!

[SCOTYDEMCO]

I will most likely be there Phil. I will try to bring my girlfriend too. See everyone then.

[Mellyrose]

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing you and meeting your girlfriend (always nice to have more of a female presence at these events :)

[SCOTYDEMCO]

Likewise Mel. I may have to tell her that we're going shopping though and then just show up at the picnic. LOL

[Art at ISP]

Excited about meeting some of you!

Sorry to hear you can't make it, Art. I hope to see you soon though!


Thanks Phil, I look forward to seeing you again soon as well.

Regards,
Art

[CX777]

Raj

[mirrodie]

I was great seeing you agin last night Raj.

We hope to make it, Highheels and the baby too.

[USAF Pilot 07]

I will most likely be there.... There's a chance I may have to go to DC over that weekend, but nothing is final yet.... I'll let you guys know.

[FlyNavy]

I could definitely make it up there Monday afternoon. The only problem is I don't LIVE in NY.

Its on Saturday, not Monday :)

[FlyNavy]

Oh yeah. I was looking at the wrong month in my calendar. Blast! Okay, guess I won't be there. :-)

[Futterman]

There better be a Caesar salad. :)

Count me in. At least 'till 6, maybe 630. I have another event in the evening, but I'll be there as long as I can! Would it be possible to bum a ride off someone?

Brian

I'd be glad to depending on where you're going, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get down there until 6pm or so myself. I have a trumpet gig at a football game starting at 1:30, but I'll try to get down there as soon as I can.

[jetblue187]

may i come to the BBQ? how can i get there by transportation means? lol

[PhilDernerJr]

Yes, you are welcome to come. Public transportation directions I think was mentioned in an earlier post.

[MORS-AB-ALTO]

Unfortunately I'll be in Columbus, OH , but fortunately it's for a pretty big Mustang Round-up of 100+ P-51's.

[jetblue187]

does the house shake when the planes fly over? are the planes close enough to see the registration? of course it depends on the runway.

[Nycfly75]

No and sometimes. Are you new to the site?

[jetblue187]

I have recent joined this website and I would like to meet some people that are the same interest. Actually everyone has just about the same interest.
I will most likely be coming to the BBQ. I just hope its a bright blue sky above us and 13L-13R being used. lol.

[Nycfly75]

Very good. Welcome!

[N790SW]

Hey Phil

2 questions-

1.) Any ideas on what the raffle might be?

2.) Will you and Tommy be signing autographs- I want to show it to everyone in my school =P

Ill try to make it, as it would be awesome to meet you all.

[PhilDernerJr]

Can't talk about the raffle just yet. Only what's in the other thread.

Autographs are $40 for you.

[Nycfly75]

[adam613]

I thought I had posted in this thread, but that little square icon isn't there, so I guess not...

I shall attend the picnic. Looking forward to seeing/meeting y'all!

[PhilDernerJr]

Excited to meet you, Adam!

[adam613]

Phil, you met me already!

[PhilDernerJr]

Meeting with you, sorry. Was typing with one hand (injury) and I'm lazy. I'm also not too bright. lol

[hiss srq]

I got my boss to work for me (damn I am good) :borat: :borat: I will be at all events through and through.

[PhilDernerJr]

Ok, guys. Here is a list of what we have on hand for the BBQ:

We have hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, 36 cans of Coke, 36 of Diet Coke, 48 half pint waters, cups, paper plates, forks, knives, napkins, a bag of chips, pretzels and a little salsa.

Based on what we have so far, and as said earlier, we welcome you folks to bring stuff as well. Drinks that you prefer, if you desire beer it's BYOB. More snacks, side-dishes (if someone wants to get macaroni salad or beans or whatever), are welcome and probably needed.

Let me know if you folks have any questions. I'm getting very excited.

[T-Bird76]

I got my boss to work for me (damn I am good) :borat: :borat: I will be at all events through and through.

You just told me only an hour ago you aren't going and will be in California....

Ok my bad...Celmer texted me with a pic of a book "The Spellman tales." thought it was Ryan and asked him about Sat. Dam it bad I'm confusing Matt and Ryan now...you to are spending way to much time together..

[adam613]

Meeting with you, sorry. Was typing with one hand (injury) and I'm lazy. I'm also not too bright. lol

I think the day I met you was the day you injured your hand :(

[PhilDernerJr]

Yes, it is. :cry:

[hiss srq]

Ummmm... Defineately not going to be in California. And as for that book, you should read the part where you come into it Tommy. LOL JK but it looks like that is a real book I guess. Never heard of it before.

[flyboy 28]

My mom says she wants to bring potato salad. :P

[mirrodie]

Need any milk? Got tons of that if you want us to bring. :wink:

FAO Vince:

Are there any decent delis nearby where I can call in an order and just pick it up on the way there? Even a supermarket nearby? That might be easiest for us.

[HPNPilot1200]

Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it. Look forward to meeting you all sometime in the future, though!

[Art at ISP]

Greetings from IAH, guys and gals,

Just finished the sim ride (737-800)-wish I could be there with you, but am at the CO DO.

Photos when I return.

Enjoy the day (evening).

[Midnight Mike]

For those of us unable to attend, we expect to see lots of pictures :lol: :D

[Nycfly75]

Thank you to everyone that came we had a nice crowd and a wonderful evening!

[PhilDernerJr]

The BBQ last night was a lot of fun. We had a good turnout and met a lot of new people in our community.

As I said to everyone last night, this site's been around for a couple years and it really would not be anything without the people who take part in it. It's is great to be a part of such a fun crowd of people both when out enjoying the hobby and when just hanging out together.

Thank you all for coming. I hope you folks had a good time.

[emshighway]

Sorry I didn't make it. I took a nap and didn't wake up until 7:30.

[RDU-JFK]

Also sorry I didn't get to make it either. Hope it was fun!!

[jetblue187]

It was our pleasure. It was very nice to meet you and your mom. You are welcome to our events anytime Julian.

[flyboy 28]

Yup, thanks for hosting that little shindig, Vinny. My only complaint is to have some warning about the height of the basement ceiling on the way to the restroom. Got a lump on my head due to a low pipe. :wink:

Burgers were great though, and it was a true pleasure to meet all of you. :borat:

LOL I had my own problems going down basement steps at my house. Resulted in a broken hand.

[PhilDernerJr]

If anyone took pics at the event, please post them!

[adam613]

I took a few pics, but only one came out:

[hiss srq]

It was great to make it out there though fasonably late. Good to see many old faces and some new faces as well. Great turn out for sure. I even came away with a knowladge of what a google means. (Thanks Mario)

Hope to see you all.

[mirrodie]

Sorry Ryan,


But it was Brian Futterman who was truly, deeply, unmistakeably


fashionably late 8) 8)

Great seeing you Brian!


And nice pic Adam :)

[moose135]

It was great seeing everyone Saturday night! It was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Phil, those were some great raffle prizes, thanks!

Vinny, thanks so much for your kind hospitality, really appreciated it.

[hiss srq]

To add, on behalf of everyone in the tower at LGA tonight, thanks for the hot dogs Vin. We are enjoying them greatly as I speak.

[stuart schechter]

So... what were the raffle prizes?

[jetblue187]

There were good size gifts giving to those who won in the raffle.
Also, There were a couple of big items given too. Like a briefcase from Boeing and a big posters from Boeing. I think the "big poster" was showing the new 787 dreamliner, if im not mistaken.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I wish I could have made it. Being 900 miles away, it would have been kind of hard.

[SCOTYDEMCO]

Phil, Mel and everyone else. I'm sorry I was unable to make it. It's been a crazy couple of weeks on my end. I'm glad everyone had a good time and sounds like it was a great event.
