Pre-Dig Gig, Rehash Bash and other Cooler events

We are gonna need a new place for the rehash bash because the mason lodge was sold.

I have a place that will let us bring in our own food... Only snag would be if there is a big football game.

I got a place I will have to check in to I think we can get it! it may cost a few not much money to get it but a good thing is if we want we can have booze and play the movie on a silver screen and also another thing is it is about a mile away form obbs and has 2 bars stumbling distance for it!!

LOL! I will check in to it if I can see about getting it for free !

Mounds theatre?

Yes sir!!

It is a great place and there is tons of room there and how can you beat the fact that you can see the movie on a BIG SCREEN!!!

And hell they have tables and tons of chairs I think it would be great more then enugh room for the group pic and also a stage for the awards and stuff I think it would be great!

and if it dose cost anything it wont be much if anything! the cost goes to a non Profit so thats kool we are putting back to the community!!

I will check I think I can get it for free!! or REALLY CHEAP!!

I'm all for it, the Mounds Theatre would be an awesome place for the Rehash!

That shouldn't be a problem. There aren't any big football games at the beginning of Feb. because the NFL season is all but over. . . wait a minute. :frown:

Vegas odds for the Queens to win the Super Bowl were 7 to 1 last week.

OK so here is the deal with the theater! I need to know the day or days that we would want to use the theater!!! there maybe a problem! with the date! So thats why I need a Idea! isnt it on 6th or 7th?? I need to know the date asap!! for the rehash!!! because if The date isnt a problem the cost of it will be Small!!

If we follow the same as past years the re-hash should be the 31st this year.. isn't the first Sunday after it is found the formula??

What if Jake finds it in two days?

OK I will talk to them about Jan 31st then!

ummm, how many days?

Snow's flying - must be getting close???

I may have an opportunity to teach my Medical Terminology course in the cities around the time of the medallion hunt.

Do we know yet the official dates of the 2010 hunt?

ok it looks like we would not be able to get it for that time of the year with out a years Notice so we can Shoot for the 2011 games to be held there and go from there as log as I get a years notice to them they will block the dates for me and if we can get 100 bucks it sounds like it is ours! because I work there in a few ways!! lol

Hell I eavn have a key to the place!!

Someone should call/go to Obbs right away to make sure we can still get the place for the predig.

Sweet - guess I know where I should start diggin' :lipsealed:

Obbs!

Go for it Cluey! We know how much you like to be the whipping boy... or is it the whip-eee?

If we talk to him early enough he said he could get a permit to stay open later.

I was there Friday, but didn't know what's going on.

Why would anyone question whether or not to have it at Obb's? If you think it's too small, try going to McGoverns where they have plenty of rooom but don't want us. The problem is, people are trying to fix something that ain't broke, and when that happens shit breaks.

Just throwing this out for thought... My hubby used to have his class reunions at the Croation Hall in South St. Paul. Enough room without being too big, they have a bar, I don't recall if they had food though maybe it was catered. There is other halls - Serbian, I think Russian. I don't know how important it is to everyone to have it in St Paul city limits, If my memory serves me I think there is either a Czech or German Hall on West 7th.

Plus I think most American Legions or VFW's would be suitable size, don't know about cost.

IMHO no...keep it in st. paul...

obb's or the place that took over matty b's....kat didn't you have that all lined up for us with all kinds of mega specials????

I am out of it this year - I tried to listen to everyone's concerns from last year regarding location (room to move around, specials on drinks, places to sit, etc...) and was offering up solutions but got over-ruled so I stepped back...

For the record:

The St. Paul Heritage Foundation wanted very much to help shine a spotlight on the Cooler Crew as an important group of the winter carnival. The CEO Beth Pinkney (while speaking with all the new business owners in the downtown area) shared the story of the Crew with the new owner of American Burger (old Matty Bs). He was very excited to talk to someone from our group to attempt to work something out. Before that could happen Obbs was decided upon. So I told the Royal Guard to go ahead and look into that place (as they were standing back so they would step on our toes).

As I know - Brad is meeting with Obbs today to set up the pre-dig.

For the extra "shine" on the crewe... I am keeping the office in the loop as I hear of things but not setting anything up unless I am asked to do it (like publicizing the pre-dig on their website).

RHB = Start setting some firewood aside!

good thing i've got a good stash ov firewood.

oh. you mean park legal firewood? nevermind then.

American Burger's happy hour menu and specials look pretty good, so I think the only "special treatment" we might ask is that they extend the happy hour to weekends for us. Menu

Looks tasty, cant complain about $2.00 beers either.

Bumping this up, as the company is asking me to set a date and I will plan that around my coming for the PDG:

What is the date of the PDG, please?

I think the 16th - Carnival is 21st thru 31st - isn't first clue the Sunday Before (17th)?

Someone please confirm.

BTW: Happy Birthday, Eags! (Haven't checked the Cooler Calendar for a long time)

i'm inclined to agree, md.

Hunt dates are January 17th through 28th. Predig is the 16th.

Thunder keeps getting stolen nowadays cuz they stick Clue 1 in the Early (Saturday) Weekend Edition now. Anyone know someone at the PP they can convince they're losing money by not exclusively publishing it in the Sunday paper?

The clue comes out in the early edition of Sunday's paper. So, they're making $1/paper regardless of whether they sell it on Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, M D!!!

Thank you, Mr. Med Hunter!!

If that burger place sucks for nightly gattherings there is a new place just down the street. I think it's across from macy's. Used to be that resteraunt that had the white tablecloths and was really formal (and is huge). Now I think its called "BOP" or something like that. Way more casual than the old place and seemed resonably priced when Penny and I were there. Good food too.

actually they probably make more doing it the way they do. most of us are subscribers and would get the sunday paper anyway from that. i for one am not going to buy the midnight paper when the final edition is on my doorstep 6 hours later. i might however, be convinced to buy the early edition.
