Things I'm wishing for this Bender Day:
Most of you know the deal...for those new to Bender Day, here it is, and I hope someone warned you about the initiation paddling (staring at my beard...that's a paddlin'...paddlin' the school canoe...oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'!!)
Last year's start time of 3:00 PM seemed to work out well for everyone, so we'll stick with that. The second Saturday in October falls on OCTOBER 11. Please find the itinerary below:
- Monk's Cafe
264 S 16th St Philadelphia PA (215) 545-7005- The Black Sheep Pub & Restaurant
247 S 17th St Philadelphia PA (215) 545-9473- Oh Shea's Pub
1907 Sansom St Philadelphia PA (215) 568-7071- Mace's Crossing
1714 Cherry St Philadelphia PA (215) 564-2709- Fergie's Pub
1214 Sansom St Philadelphia PA (215) 928-8118
Once again we are advising people to stay in the city...Daveted, Jimb, Angela and I stayed at Loews last year and recommend it highly (plus you can start drinking in the bar before Bender Day technically begins!) This year you're responsible for making your own reservations though -- contact information for some local hotels can be found below:
Hope to see you all on the 11th!!
p.s. Special thanks to Jimb for continued excellent work on the Flash movie, to DaveTed for nothing, to Mike for once again helping put together the list of bars, Stacy for the Bender Day laminates AND the plaques, to The Compleat Strategist for hooking me up with some white model paint on Saturday morning, Eric for giving me the rest of the paint and last, but certainly not least, thanks to alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
