RSVP: 2nd Annual DBD Watch Party in Addison, February 5th

by Brad Gardner on Feb 2, 2011 10:21 PM CST

Announcing the second annual Defending Big D Watch Party!

When: Saturday, February 5th. 6:00pm CST. Stars @ Flyers

Where: Buffalo Wild Wings, Addison TX (Dallas North Tollway and Belt Line)

Please RSVP in comments. We need a head count.

We decided on Addison after all the discussion, rather than some place that was a little more centralized because we want to stay the heck away from the Super Bowl and all Super Bowl related things. (They can't fine me for saying Super Bowl on the internet, right? Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl!!!) . (Actually I heard Jerry Jones is going to sell tickets to our watch party in Addison and count it as attendance for his record breaking Jerry World Super Bowl. Ok, enough asides...)

We hope that works for most people. We're sorry if it doesn't but it is what it is.

What we would to hear now is all the people who will be there. Please, please, please RSVP in the comments and let us know how many people will be coming with you. We need to get a head count. At the very least you can count on myself, Brandon Worley and Brandon Bibb. Pat will be in Missouri worrying about his education and Art is currently buried under 27 feet of snow in Alberta.

We had a lot of fun last year and we can't wait to see as many of you as possible for some good hockey fun with food and beverage. Depending on how this goes we can hopefully do another one this season and, hockey-gods forbid, maybe even a playoff version if the fates should align thusly.

So RSVP! Otherwise I'll have to re-name it from "DBD Watch Party" to "2 Brandons: 1 Brad"

Ok well...

That was supposed to be an embedded google map that the editor won’t let me paste into the HTML of a fanpost, but WILL let me do it in a regular post.

Whatever.

It’s in Addison off the Tollway and Belt line. Dang it.

It's on the corner of Beltline and Quorum.

For those infamiliar with the area.

If you hit the Addison Improv/Pete’s Piano Bar/Smashburger shopping center, you’ve gone past the BWW. :D

I’ll be there (with laptop for the GDT)

I will -- of course -- be there.

We’re looking to seeing as many new faces as possible, too. So even if you’re just a lurker, feel free to RSVP and come watch a great game with fellow Stars fans.

Too scared to face me in person? That’s what I thought.

Listen buddy

I’m already workin some serious overtime this week. Besides, everyone will be able to sport you, since you’ll be wearing your “I <3 Benn” shirt, and fainting every time he touches the puck.

How about a quasi-RSVP

I live right around the corner so should be able to make it, but with two kiddoes, there’s always the chance that I’ll have some emergency hold me back…

Yeah, well at least I'm housebroken.

Wish I could go, but I’ve already got tests that next week. Hope it’s fun though.

We should split the distance,meet in Thunder Bay and find a bar that will suffer through watching a Stars game with us. LOL.

Actually not a half bad idea..

If only it wasn’t Thunder Bay… lol

We’ll see if some of the out of towners can do a Skype thing.. We’ll have to look into that.

Hey!

Don’t think, just because I’m primarily a lurker here, that Thunder Bay is not represented in DBD. I spent the first 27 years of my life there, been here since ‘97.
I am glad to be gone. There’s no work there but lots of hockey.
That being said, T.O. is like 20 hours, Winnipeg (going back to the Jets) is like 8, so based on the fact that Minneapolis is the closest NHL team at only around 6 hours away, I don’t think you’d find a shortage of Stars fans there.

by canada_in_texas on Jan 26, 2011 8:50 PM CST up reply actions

I know the Stars have a fair amount of Canadian fans.. more than many would think...

I’ve often though it probably wouldn’t be too hard to get a watching party together for just Canadian Stars fans or at the very least west based and east based Stars fans…

We're not known as Habs South for nothing!

I know, most of that connection has died away over the last 10 years. But we used to be!

by 1paniolo on Feb 5, 2011 12:06 AM CST up reply actions

I'll be there.

And I’ll see if I can bring a couple friends from Lewisville.

As for the directions, it makes me think of a joke I heard once. You might be from Dallas if…

…all directions include, “…get on Belt Line Road…”

"Our GM,
who art in the front office,
on Conn Smythe be thy name…"

Resident foul-mouthed lurker..

I’d love to be there. Pretty sure I can make it!

by viralphrame on Jan 19, 2011 7:34 PM CST reply actions

Me. Sad.

Stupid house hunting in stupid Kansas City. Humph.

I will miss seeing everyone. And you will all be relieved that you don’t have to hug a nutty lady. :P

Maybe

5starpuckism will show up and he will slander Brad’s game commentary? or maybe his choice of wing sauce?

It is true, as I have predicted from the very beginning and I was the only one...

…that Brad doesn’t like wings and prefers burgers. That makes him a communist.

If he doesn't like my choice of

some Hot, some Caribbean Jerk, then that’s too darned bad!

Wish I could go...

But, sadly…I live too far away. I do plan on maybe making a game around the Spring Break timeframe. Hopefully others will be at the game, and will have my new smart phone by then. Can comment on the DBD blog during game..:)

I read this blog daily, but I post comments rarely. The watching party sounds like fun so me & my sister plan to be there.

soon as I know for sure, I’ll reply to myself. Looks like this could be a packed house (or BWW location).

No worries

We’re a very welcoming and friendly group. Plus, there’s going to be a number of people coming that weren’t there last year. It’s all new friends next weekend!

Shaking off the flu...

But thinking I’ll be plenty functional by Saturday. Still officially a “tentative”, but if I make it, I’ll be easy to pick out by the orange Mike Richards jersey.

This had to go down on a night when the Stars play the only team I root for against them…
