Frank....I can understand you feeling like Rodney Dangerfield:

* A hooker once told me she had a headache.

* If it wern't for pickpockets I'd have no sex life at all.

* I'm so ugly my father carried around a picture that came with the wallet.

* I remember the day I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

* I'm so ugly, I once worked in a pet shop, people kept asking how big I get.

We all love ya Frank.

That's a heck of a question.... Let me look into a meeting place for breakfast and get the whole time thing straightened out. Was thinking this morning that this is this Sunday.

Alright.... Lookin' for some opinions on this one...

I've never been, but we could try Cosmic Omelet ( http://www.cosmicomelet.com/#!menu ). The reviews are decent and it's not super far from Rentschlers field.

Or we can do a Dunkin and call it a day... This location has decent parking (according to Google Maps anyways).

Summary (w/ times)... Just need to know what option you guys want to go with

1. Cosmic Omelet [485 Hartford Rd. Manchester, CT 06040]
7:30a... should give us more than enough time to eat and get to the show by 9

2. Dunkin' [443 Hartford Rd. Manchester, CT 06040]
8:15a...

How about Denny's in Enfield, all Posse members been there before, plenty of parking! It may not be the best but you know what your getting!
Usually fast service! Close for at least 4 of of us!

Perfect. That's where we're going.
Let's meet @ 7:30a. I'll make reservations to make sure we can get a spot for the 7 of us or so

For anyone not doin' breakfast this place is about 10 mins south of Rentschelers.

Meet us here so we can all cruise in by 8:45

Since i'm avoiding all questions from Frank, his location sounds great.


For the guys up in the Enfield area.... let's meet @ Best Buy in Enfield for 6:45 (give us a little wiggle room)

clearly I suck at this whole planning thing....

I figured if we meet @ Best Buy for 6:45, we probably wont end up leaving till 7... takes about 30 mins to get down there...

730 breakfast, figuring we wont get inside until about 745 / 8, there's always a straggler or two... an hour for breakfast with this size group.... I have no problem bouncing the time out a little.

Grass hopper you need to learn now to relax. Your doing fine (other than the DD option)

Maybe you need some time with the master of R & R John Conway LOL

We all agree this isn,t a great show, and last year you couldn't even do a walk around till 11-11:30. I know it opens at 9 but what is the advantage to being first. Meet @ 6:45 for a LOCAL show???

i'll bump out the time accordingly, but it should be noted that getting into Ken's might be tough the later we go [reservations are for 8 or more]. Apparently there's usually a line comin' out of the restaurant. Sunday's you're fighting families for sports and church goers.


Leave Best Buy @ 8:15a
Breakfast @ 8:45a
Leave breakfast @ 9:45a / 10:00a

I didn't make a reservation as the list has 7 people, and there's still some maybes on whether or not they can make it.

Worst case scenario, there's another restaurant across the we can go to if the line is crazy. Mustard Seed [63 Hebron Ave #A. Glastonbury, CT 06033].

O.P. updated accordingly.
