Great time had by all!! I know other people took picture, please add them.
Happy Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
Looks like a fancier place than where I always ate, is the Yankee Doodle still open?....Freepers deep in enemy territory....G'bless!
bump
Hooray FReeper get-togethers! BTTT!

Looking forward to a northern Connecticut meeting!
There is a great place in West Hartford, Macaroni Grill, J.Timothy's in Plainville, Chowder Pot in the Hartford area, the EXPENSIVE Ruth's Chris in Whethersfield....
That group looks like trouble to me. Your in Hillary's files for sure. Merry Chrstmas!
Race - Group group pic. Taken in a mirror so everyone gets in??? :-))
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Connecticut crowd, and to all FReepers.

How cool! I love seeing faces with names (it makes it awesome writing posts to folks that you have a face with) and love that everyone had a good time! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
You all are very courageous people to still live in CC, Commie CT, I moved out 10 years ago after born and living there most of my life. Great food places I remember: Lenny & Joe's OldSaybrook. Giant Grinder, S. end of HFD, Steamed cheeseburgers in Meriden named Charlie's ? and Avon Old Farms.
Thanks for posting! I love to see this get-togethers.
Thanks for posting! I love to see this get-togethers.
Was it Ted's in Meriden for the steamed cheeseburgers
And Avon Old Farms Inn is still great. Went to a wedding reception there 3 years ago.
It can't be called a get together as my ex wife wasn't there. She defined it as if I was at something, it was a party. If she was there it was a get together.
LOL!
Had a great time! Thanks, y'all!
I could do some 'work' in enemy terroritory ;)
Of course, we could go to J. Gilbert's in Glastonbury for the best steak ever! (However, being so close to Christmas, I don't think many would be able to afford it, myself included.)
Merry Christmas to all.
I just won a $75 gift card to J.Gilberts!!
SURE, It'll be free for me!!
LOL!!
AAAAAUGHH!! You lucky razzleratfrattinburp! Enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
What a great looking group of people!
Glad you all had such a great time! Puget Sound Chapter BUMP to you :)
Merry Christmas CT Freepers!
Sounds great! Glad you got together. Freeper Fun!
I will try and pay more attention and make it for the next get-together. Looks like a fun gathering of Freepers.

Connecticut ping!
Thanks for this thread, KosmicKitty. Looks like a good time was had by all. Sorry zelig (aka "Mr. Nutmeg") and I couldn't make it. We were much too busy with Christmas preparations, work, etc. Hopefully we will make the Hartford-area gathering, which I hope will be planned for sometime after January 5th. We will be out of town before that...
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
I've been to the Chowder Pot in Hartford, although admittedly not recently. I would say it's "so-so"... not the best choice, IMO. How was the Chowder Pot in Branford?
First time I ever ate there
portions were huge, but price was up there a little
better deals on meals in NYC, for sure, but food was good
I actually haven't been to the Hartford Chowder Pot in about two years. I just remember the food was kind of greasy, and "so-so". Can't remember how the prices were. I don't know if both Chowder Pots are from the same chain or are independent restaurants...
That's a great idea,it would be wonderful to have a Pittsburgh Pa area gathering.
Awww, great looking group! Looks like they all dipped into the nog....lots of smilin' goin' on there! Happy New year all you awesome FReeps, let the good times roll!
I apologize, I just love that line and it is hard to work it into a post.
Was'nt able to make this event but would be glad to go to the next event if it is on a Friday/Saturday.
Fierce, I had no idea you wuz such an UUUUGLY cuss.
oh he's cute, ya jagoff. how'd i miss this, though? did FA put an embargo on it or something???? ; )
No nog for me, just beer! :)
I can't be eveything to everyone. :)
Oh no, you found it! LOL
Lol! You like the hard core stuff, huh? :)
Looks like you all had a wonderful time (except the guy with the doggie bag. He doesn't look too excited about his leftovers!)
You're just all so adorable, I could pinch all your little cheeks!
I hope you all have an awesome New Year too! Cheers!
Yes, it was a great time. I look forward to the next one.
Happy New Year!
Despite your best efforts, ya snot! ; )
Happy new year to you, too!

Happy New Year!
Oh, Mr Kitty was happy - that's his ecstatically happy look - LOL
Rofl! How can you tell when he's mad? ;)
