The Pier is great! I'll be there with about 25 other cornell guys, mostly juniors and seniors and some recent grads, after all the games! Go Big Red!

The Pier is definitely going to be the place to party after the Big Red beat those losers from New Hampshire. I know i'm going to be there with all my friends celebrating the best hockey team in the nation. Go Big Red!!

It should be much fun times at the pier. I'll be there with bells on, as will a few of my friends. Cornell is gonna take it all. And the Big Red Pep Band will be there too?!?! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!! Me and my girls will be there partying it up after the game.

i'll be there celebrating cornell's HUGE victory with all my girls!!!!

Go Big Red!! See you at the Pier Thursday!

I'll be there to party it up at the Pier, celebrating the Big Red's victory in style. It's gonna be so much fun!

woof.
woof.
woof.

Anyone else feel this thread reads a little too much like an advertisement for this place than an official event? For example, on the pregame Pearl St. Brewery thread, you don't see any "yo! Me and all my crew are gonna go there! What a great place!! This is going to be great...with all my friends!!" replies from unfamiliar names like this entire thread is.

Hey, if Kevin or someone else happens to work at/own this place and is a Cornellian, that's great, but come clean and just say "hey, we'd like your business. I'm a Cornellian, too. C'mon down."

Of course, I could be wrong, and all these people with their crews will all be there. I did check out their website, and Kevin is listed as the proprietor, and he is encouraging much Cornell business, so that's great.

Look at the IP addresses. A few are resnet.

[Q]WE'VE INVITED THE BIG RED PEP BAND, AND THE TEAM, WE'LL SEE WO CAN MAKE IT[/Q]I might feel different than Rich if I knew (WO) somebody was going to make it. Say nothing about all the CAPS and[Q]CASUAL FOOD ELECTIONS [/Q] I'd rather not elect my food; we have enough trouble electing presidents.

To say I'm not convinced, well ...

D'Marlowe isn't unfamiliar to me, she is a non-Pep Band Marching Band tuba. She is in the hotel school though, so it might be a little hotelie pride

I'm going to be there and it is going to be AWESOME!! I'd never miss this for the world!! BE THERE OR BE.... SCREWY!

All you need is a hotelie mailing list telling people to get the word out to the hockey geeks.

Actually, I apologize for my previous post. I'm sure Kevin's establishment is a good one, and I'm all for supporting Cornell alumni and getting a big Cornell group together. Just that the responses the original post generated seemed a little too much like manufactured advertising, and designed to bump this thread, that's all.

Very nice! Does it get any better then going to a fine establishment to drink some cold ones after a national championship. I think not. Go Cornell!!

I can verify that the Pier is 1) a fine establishment 2) run by a Cornell grad and I'm sure 3) wanting the word to get out that this is a place for people from Cornell to get togehtor and celebrate the win...so down with UNH and pass the word

I loved it. It was much better than "Cats". I'm going to see it again and again.

I've been to the Pier when in Buffalo, it really is an awesome place! No place i've seen that's more beautiful, it's huge and waterfront...kinda like cornell

just went to the pier's web site, neat place. anyone know if it's an all age thing or only 21 and up?

[Q]I've been to the Pier when in Buffalo, it really is an awesome place! No place i've seen that's more beautiful, it's huge and waterfront...kinda like cornell[/Q]God, where is there a smiley when you need one?

what in the world is the cats reference about???
Go 'Cuse!
Next up, cornell wins the frozen four!!!!

Would any of the many people who are so enamored of "The Pier" care to post walking directions from the HSBC?

Thanks!

Actually I found them on the website:

Directions from the HSBC Arena...
Take a right on Michigan Avenue, a left on Ohio Street, over the bridge to Fuhrmann Blvd. Take a right, and follow that road until it ends, weaving under and around Route 5. Take two quick lefts, and voila!

It's amazing what the promise of free drinks will do when recruiting a front line public relations staff.

I think the most important thing that's being lost a bit is to just go and have fun. Create your own itinerary. Go to pre-game parties. Go to post-game parties. Go to Dunn Tire Park. Go to the Hobey Baker Award presenation and to the convention center. Stop by the Hyatt Regency and the Adams Mark. Or do none of this. The only place you have to be is the place you want to be. Hopefully this includes the games and the Hobey Baker/Humanitarian award presentations but if you want to go over the falls in a barrel, well that's um, cool too.

Busted!
I admit, the offering was a little too commercial. What with capital letters and all.
And my son, who's attending Cornell now, may have chimed in too loudly.
But, I have to admit, I learned it at Cornell!
Go Big Red!

Oh, quiet down
Can't walk there from there.
There's a skyway that connects Buffalo to the waterfront.
It's absurd, but there you go.
You';ll need to hop a cab, it's a five-minute ride.
K

I don't recommend going over the falls in a barrel...you dont do that after your team wins!

Just to modify those directions slightly---
After you get off the 'bridge' (Skyway Rt. 5) you get off at Fuhrmann blvd, and the first thing you'll see is a sign that says Festival Grounds or the Pier or something, thats the driveway, pull on in, join me at the bar!

haha, it suprises you that people can offer dissent just as easy as some can offer support? No one offered him free drinks for the dissent though...

Go where ever you feel comfortable--or where ever you can stumble to.

I see the directions to get there...easy enough hopefully
any cover charge at the door?
go RED!

John Balkowitz? Is that you? I haven't seen you in years! I thought you left school...I emailed you...



Post Edited (04-08-03 18:04)

no charge
all ages
kt

I guess more importantly...
This being a hockey event, and hockey being a gift from our neighbors to the north...

Will there be plenty of Canadian beer?
or is this a Budweiser gathering??

I didn't think of it until now, but what could be more important???

Molsons and Labatt's, bien sur

John, that's weird. I emailed you at the address you previously posted with and Jim Bishop '82 replied saying it wasn't you. I looked up your name on CUinfo and they don't have a listing for you--you aren't a student at Cornell. I'm confused.

There are several email addresses given on this thread that aren't legitimate, according to CUinfo.

Judging from the fact that people are looking up the validity of others e-mails, I can see why some may be hesitant to put up real ones...
Mine's real, but I can see using an assumed identity, cant you?

Maybe I'll be Frankie Figgs from now on. he's cool!

[Q]Judging from the fact that people are looking up the validity of others e-mails, I can see why some may be hesitant to put up real ones...
Mine's real, but I can see using an assumed identity, cant you?[/Q]No, actually I can't. I've not seen it a problem on other topics, seems like it may have more to do with those new posters on this topic than the rest of us.

Shame on you.

Why did this thread happen? I feel like I have been taken for a trip into the twilight zone..

No, it's called freshmen are pretending to be seniors and pretending that they'll be going to a party with their "Junior, Senior, and grad student" friends. If "John" was really a senior chem-e, he would have been smart enough to realize that the domain that he posted from is stamped next to his name (---.resnet.cornell.edu). I don't like to be lied to and I especially don't like being lied to by other Cornellians. If you want to trick people into going somewhere, at least try and trick UNH fans--they might be stupid enough to fall for it.
