If you are interested to get together with other members of masscops, toss a few back, tell a few lies, and create some general jack-assery, vote as to where would be best for you. You can choose more than one place. If you have a great idea as to where it should be, go ahead and post it in this thread.

I liked SOT's idea...but if not that, lets meet at the Boynton or the Sole Proprietor in Worcester...maybe even the 111 Chop house, or how about that old standby: Salem Cross?

Posted by: USMCMP5811

Sorry Double POst see below.

Posted by: USMCMP5811

I vote for the Foxy Lady or Fantasies....Maybe even Alex's in Stoughton...

Posted by: SOT

111 Chop would be good if we can't do a shoot and eat. Or if we did a western MA...that new resturant Spice is pretty good.

Posted by: SinePari

I wouldn't want to alienate anyone by organizing a "church" session, or the pricey Chop House. Maybe Irish Times or something along those lines. You know, casual, sports bar kind of place.

Any suggestions in all areas would be appreciated.

Posted by: SinePari

Also, how does sometime late August sound? You know, after vacations and before kiddies go back to school.

Someones been working a lot of details! Seriously, those are some quality suggestions you mentioned.

Late August sounds like a good idea. I missed the last gathering, hopefully I can make this one.

Posted by: dcs2244

How about "The Fort" in Springfield? Then we could adjourn to The Mardigras...

Posted by: SPINMASS

Boston Billiards is always a good choice, either boston or worcester.

Posted by: kttref

Come to CT............maybe?

Posted by: CJIS

Uh how about South Shore area or is Boston going to be the base for that?

Glad to see there are a lot of Central MA folks here - I'm all for Irish Times!

Posted by: SinePari

Looks like a good response so far. Boston Billiards is a great choice IMO.

Kate, something central, near 395...Hartford is kinda "out-of-the-way" for the "back east kids"...we'll need to send them a map detailing things west of 128 as it is...we're open to suggestions...

A great location could the new Crystal Palce in Worc. soon to be opening. I am told it's mint inside with also has some great looking talent !!!

Posted by: dcs2244

Hey, there are gals at Masscops, too! Let's do supper and decide on the afters during supper. I think Worcester is a good location, as it is (mostly) centrally located...sorry Yarmouth and Williamstown: you're a million miles away from stuff to begin with. Worcester...the "Irish Times" for afters is swell...suggestions for FOOD...

And, "The 99" and like "chain" restaurants...sadly, NO. Real food, save the "drunk-fest" for local...the reason for this is to meet one another, not to get "liquored-up".

Just my $0.02...

Perhaps we should start a "gas-fund" for Kttref...

DITTO!!

Posted by: Gil

I'm more inclined to think that Worcester would be a better choice, I did vote for Boston but I think a more central location would be the fair solution. Although I would love to have it at the Dakota Steak House in the Deerfield/Greenfield area I think that would be too much a hike for most of us and a little too much of a hit on the wallet.

Are there any decent restaurants in the Worcester area? I am talking for food not so much the drinking atmosphere.

I'm liking that idea...although, you all realize we are all cops...meaning 1/2 of us won't be able to get together anyway! It's gonna be a whole big mess...I can see it now

That's why Worcester area would probably be best for all. Centrally located.

There is a great Vinny Ts in Shrewsbury on Rt 9. It's got an outside deck/bar on the water. Good food, good location, and no "clients" hanging around.

Posted by: texdep

The is also The Manor. Great Food and we could get a good sized private room for the gathering.(Plus a cop is married into the family that owns the place!!)

Posted by: SPINMASS

Good call on the Vinny T's, it is a nice area.

Gotchya.

Well, Boston and Worcester are close in votes. However, not too many suggestions of Boston places to go in the thread, so...we'll have to see. I think we should shut the voting down about the first or second week in August, and set a date such as Saturday, Aug 26.

More reasonable suggestions Boston suggestions:
The Bay Tower
Tia's On The Waterfront

or we could find a 99 or TGIF

Posted by: SinePari

How about Christies in Foxboro?

Posted by: dcs2244

Can't find it, sine...did you mean Christina's?

Right, or there is the Outlaw BBQ, on the other side of the stadium on Rt1. Awsome BBQ'd Pork....Yummmy, Now I'm Hungry

Posted by: RPD931

I think Tia's would be cool.

"Cop party!"

Posted by: SinePari

OK, it's hammer time. I recommend the following 2 places:

Funway/Christina's Route 1 Foxboro. Good bar, and function room.

or

Royal Plaza Hotel Route 20 Marlboro. Good little bar, small function rooms available. Easy from the Pike, to 495

How does August 27 (no Pats game) around 4 PM sound?

We have to put something together real soon.

Posted by: dcs2244

Either is fine, but I think the Marlboro site is more centralized...

Posted by: RPD931

I think Marlborough is ideal also.

By coincidence, I'm off the 27th.

I would suggest the hotel, simply because I'd like to have a few, but not have to drive afterwards. Unless, of course, there is a hotel within walking/reasonable taxi ride distance of Christina's (I don't know the area at all).

Posted by: mikemac64

There's a crap load of motels near Christina's. Some only require you to pay by the hour.

Posted by: federal officer

Mike, you know that from personal experience

Posted by: Skiierxxx06

FYI Funway is under constuction... turning into a StoneForge just my

If that will have an impact on your choice

Posted by: SinePari

Well it looks like 60 or so voted (in favor) so far. I think Marlborough will have to do but some of us will have to drive farther than others, which is unavoidable. I will call the Royal today and see if there's a function room available and get something set up soon. I'll eat the cost up front and would hope that we can spread it around with a small door fee.

Who knows, if it's a good turn out we could make it an annual thingy.

At least one has the discounted rate on the sign. Several are owned by the same Indian (India) family. They're facilities are not known for being compared with the Four Seasons.

I would love to come! Is it definately going to be on the 27th of August?

Hopefully. I have to confirm that there is enough space for us without getting a room. I don't feel the need to get a function room because we're not conducting any type of business, no DJ or private cash bar. I think their bar/lounge is big enough for 20 to 30 of us to hang around and enjoy ourselves without shelling out the cash for a room.

I'll be posting the details in a new thread by the end of this week. Hope to see as many folks as possible.

Posted by: SPINMASS

sounds good to me

Foxy Lady in Brockton

Posted by: Andy0921

Shit! Im going to be in Long Beach Island that Sunday.

Posted by: SinePari

Well, after playing phone-tag with these folks, I've made the command decision to gather on Saturday August 26th at 6PM (Patriots start at 8PM).

Best Western / Royal Plaza in Marlborough. Right behind the old MHQ on Route 20.

Go to the lounge/bar and look for the MCG sign. (MassCops Gathering, pretty slick). No function room = more money to drink. We'll even wear gay little stickers with screen names.

New thread coming with a mapquest link.
