onion/rip road trip roll call

[Rosey]

[quote jy3]so who is going to a or both games? [/quote]
Will be at both with my dad.

Is anyone up for meeting before the RIP game?  I don't know anything about downtown Troy (other than the armpit metaphor), but since my dad and I are arriving from different places on Friday, it might be nice for whomever gets there first to meet somewhere with friendlies rather than have to hang out outside the rink.

mike k, I got tickets from CU. they are open 10-4 (?). not sure if they are open tomorrow. just have them held at will call and you will be golden.

also, I suggest people get tix from cornell and will call them - buying onion tix should be fine at the door, but then you wont be in the cornell section

[ebilmes]

ebilmes, dbilmes, and 2 others driving from CT. Got tix through Cornell, so we'll be with whoever else got them that way.

If you mean literally on route 7, then you may mean Cafe Therese.  Sadly Therese closed her restaurant due to construction traffic causing a loss in lunch business.:-(

If you mean the Notty Pine on 15th Street off route 7, then so be it, but that is in Troy.  There is (or was) also an Italian restaurant called Two Brothers closer to Troy than Therese was.

marty, i think it was two brothers. but the person I am meeting doesnt know where it is on route 7 and i am not confident enough to tell her. so we are going to browns brewery near the rink
thanks for the info

Gonna be there with the Rural Wisconsin Singles Club. Both games.

FYI: At the I-90 East/ 787 North exchange, there is a billboard to the right advertising for the ECAC games. On which one of our guys figure prominently, couldn't look at his arm number though, doing 70.


see ya

We have essentially nothing planned for Saturday until the game. Any recommendations for things to do?

If you can bring a pair of ice skates, there is free outdoor ice skating at the Empire State Plaza, right next to the egg.

I'll be at the Notty Pine before the RPI game.

1. New York State Museum - just south of State Plaza in Albany
2. Children's Museum of Science and Technology - Rensselaer Tech Park, about 5 miles South of RPI in North Greenbush.  A lot of fun even tho aimed at kids.
3. Crossgates Mall - Just West of Albany - lots of food, women and a multiplex theater.

Just got my tickets this afternoon for both games by calling the box offices.  I asked for the Cornell section for both games, and they said fine.  So - hopefully that's where my tickets are when I get them at will call!

I'm from the Albany area, so I'm pretty excited about going home for the weekend AND getting to see the games; they should be good ones.  LET'S GO RED!

Is anyone heading in the Schenectady direction after the RPI game? I'm staying with my friend at Union college (who doesn't have a car) and I wouldn't mind a ride from a friendly Cornellian Otherwise, I'll just take a cab. Thanks!
