I'd have gladly made the trip up there but I had birthday drinks-and-dinner to go to. Sounds like y'all had a good time.

as an FYI for future reference Beer & Burger on 5th Ave and Garfield has a guest brewery visit each wednesday. Between 6 and 8 reps from the brewery hand out free pints and sage beer knowledge to wash your burger down with.
I'm not affiliated to the place at all - just happens to be at the end of my block - so I know this.
Tonight happens to be Smuttynose.

Flying out to Seattle today, count me in for the next one!

Just wanted to send a thanks out to Jill for setting this up. I hadn't been to LR before and it's a really cute spot, will be nice once it's warmer and the back deck is open (to the superfund site of the Gowanus? Oh well). But it also seems a pretty cozy winter spot, as well.
I had a fried chicken sandwich and a couple of, you're going to pay for it during sprint practice, beers. And then, well, paid for it during sprint practice.
Nice to talk with the folks who showed up, about 11 of us in all, I think, and I got to meet James. Looking forward to more.

+1 really nice to see some old and new KCC faces. Thanks Jill!

How do people feel about a friendly game of softball in PP as a chilled social? Can you drink in the park? I've brought my glove with me but I'm yet to use it despite being in the US for nearly 8 months.
Apr 26, 2016 at 12:45 AM
I like the idea. I've got a glove, and one to share. I often drink in Prospect Park, but always carefully, meaning in small groups using unmarked cups. If we want to drink brazenly, we'd better head to Central Park: the Manhattan DA announced in March that the NYPD will no longer arrest people for drinking in public. You can still get a summons and possibly a fine, but you won't be prosecuted.
EDIT: but, you know, best not to put the club's reputation with the city on the line by drinking in the park, which is still technically against the law.

I am down with some friendly softball. Like most outdoor places, it is a good idea to be discreet about your outdoor drinking. I believe the official baseball diamonds require a permit application and reservation. We could always wildcat on any sufficiently unoccupied diamond knowing we could always be kicked out by others.
Apr 26, 2016 at 10:08 PM
I like the idea, except unoccupied diamonds in NYC. hahaha. maybe in the morning of January 1st.
Apr 26, 2016 at 11:33 PM
How about a beer garden, a really big one...that we can all roll up to on wheels perhaps??
Apr 27, 2016 at 01:37 AM
@eloy I'm more a jumpers for bases kind of guy anyway....I've never had the pleasure of playing on an actual diamond.
Apr 27, 2016 at 11:26 AM
softball is cool too
Apr 27, 2016 at 01:27 PM
@JamesShaw so it's more of an excuse to drink while holding a bat kind of game?
Apr 27, 2016 at 10:10 PM
@Dan Reiners Pretty much, the only people not expected to have a beer to hand are the batters in play.
Apr 30, 2016 at 12:19 AM
Too much talk, not enough drink. Where is the grog?
Apr 30, 2016 at 09:49 PM
Tonight! Meet at Sunny's at 7:30pm in order to cheer on Evelyn at the Red Hook crit at 8:30pm.
Apr 30, 2016 at 09:52 PM
IN! See you down there at 7:30 :-)
