Ok,...........so because of the weather we are just going to meet up at 2 for wings???

Buffalo Wild Wings
3035 Niagara Falls Blvd.
Amherst, NY 14228

Or do ppl want to do something before that. I dont care,........ppl just decide.

CCColtsicehockey

I am not sure but know we are not meeting at hondaacuraworld. I dont know what else to do. Now that there is snow we really cant go for car test drives cause I know dealers are not a fan of test drives in the snow. So other than going for wings and then to the game I dont know what else any body wants to do. Make suggestions or leave your opinions people.

West6MT

Alright,........lets just go with meeting at 2 for wings.

West6MT

For the Canucks,......there are two ways we can go to cross the border. Look about the same distance. I am trying to figure out what would be better.

ryanhook

I'm still good to meet at 2pm. Everyone else, please chime in. We need some final numbers soon.

Thanks.

I find the Peace Bridge the better of the two between Queenston-Lewiston and Peace Bridge. Avoid the Rainbow Bridge at all costs.

West6MT

Lets hit up the Peace bridge then I guess. Is that the one where you stay on the QEW?

I am getting all confused looking at these stupid ass maps.

West6MT

Ok, I think I figured everything out for us Canucks. We can cross at the peace bridge (where the QEW ends) and then just go up a bit to the wings place.

VB87

Hey,
Been painting the house and haven't around the last bit.

Pass the border at Peace Bridge, it's probably less traffic that way then the Niagara Falls way. It's only snow tomorrow, we all know how to drive in the snow right!?

EShine is near the Peace Bridge, I might see if I can pick something up near there.

West6MT

DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT GOING TO ESHINE. I WOULD BUY EVERYTHING THEY HAVE MAN.

Can you pick stuff up there without letting them know you are coming,.............are they open on saturdays??? Maybe we could leave a little bit earlier and swing by the place? Just an Idea.

ryanhook

Isn't EShine in Port Colborne? I was just in Port Colborne last weekend visiting friends. That's a wee bit of a side trip, but hey, I'm game.

Can we confirm 12pm meet-up at Ikea?

Here's the directions guys:

1. Ikea, Burlington ON to Peace Bridge, Fort Erie ON
This one's too simple. Take the QEW all the way to Fort Erie and follow the signs to the Peace Bridge.

2. Peace Bridge to Wild Wings, 3035 Niagara Falls Blvd, Buffalo NY

West6MT

I think the second link is the same as the first dude. Both give directions to the peace bridge. I printed out 2 sets of directions for how to get to the place from mapquest that I can bring. My printer is busted so I used someone elses.

Well if you guys want we can hit up Eshine (if its open,...better check on that). Is meeting at 12 early enough to stop at Ehine?

West6MT

Ok here is the finalized plan.

Meet at 2pm (saturday - tomorrow) at the wings place.

Buffalo Wild Wings
3035 Niagara Falls Blvd.
Amherst, NY 14228

WHERE ARE THE OTHER PPL THAT SAID THEY CAN COME,........??????????

ryanhook

Yeah, I realized the link was wrong. It's fixed now. Try it again.

I'm printing 3 copies of the map: one for you, one for VB87, and one for me. I'm also putting a backup of it on my iPod and my Palm (if I bring it).

12pm should be early enough. According to the Google directions, once we're over the border it'll take 20 minutes to get to Wild Wings.

West6MT

IPOD backups he says,.......hahaha that is hectic. Sounds awesome dude. Ok,.....so Ikea at 12,...like my above post says anyway. Thanks for printing out a few sets of directions. I am sure ONE of us will figure out where the heck we are going hahahaha.

VB87

EShine operates out of its house. Not sure if they would want a group of people knocking on their doors. You can email Chris Pace if he's okay with that. There's stuff that I want to get for the spring/summer.

Anymore ideas of something else to do?

West6MT

Who is coming to the hockey game. Best sport ever,........come on

West6MT

That is true. I will send an email and see if we get anything back. I dunno about what else,........Tim Hortons LOL? Once we cross into Yankee land there are none of those around.

CCColtsicehockey

I wont be coming to EShine cause I would have to go past Buffalo and then back down to buffalo. Also is it in the US or Canada.

VB87

EShine is in Canada. Their website is Eshine.ca

West6MT

Ok I emailed the Pace family,.......dunno if they will get back to me before I leave tomorrow. Maybe Eshine,....maybe not.

Hey guys jsut give me a call 631 513 0834 i'm jeff.

Ill be at wings with a few friends perhaps depending if their hung over.
We could possilby go to dyno a car =P

CCColtsicehockey

yeah i wouldnt mind going to that place after we eat before heading to the game. you gonna come to the game man it should be a good one.

ryanhook

Not true. There are a few in the upstate NY area.

Maybe it's because I live in the home of Tim Horton's (one on virtually every corner in Hamilton), but I am not a fan. I don't know what all the fuss is about their coffee.

Anyway, see you guys tomorrow. West6MT, call my cell phone when you get close to Ikea.

West6MT

I like Tim's Tea to be honest haha. I heard they were opening ones in the US, but didnt know they were already open.

Ok I will call you when I get close. I warn you though,......I am always early.

West6MT

Dyno a car would be cool. Someone that has some mods to theirs. What do you mean call you? When? Are you showing up at the wings place at 2?

VB87

Timmy's is just part of being Canadian that's all. It won't do as well in the states as it does in Canada. I get free timmy's where I work, so don't mind that.

CCColtsicehockey

So we are going to have 2 CL's and 3 TSX's and possibly a forth TSX if JeffTSX comes.

CCColtsicehockey

I will try to be early to but some times I am late LOL

http://www.innovativetuning.com

I got a bunch of mods but wished I had my fujis that i'm getting from rmatic =)

West6MT

Well I guess everything is set.

IS ANYONE ELSE WANTING TO COME TO THE HOCKEY GAME????????????

West6MT

LOL CCC, I will be early for meeting up with the guys in Canada,..........I dont think we will be early for meeting at the wings place though.

lcrazyaznl

iTrader: (1)

Just call me when you guys get near 990 i'm only 10 mins away from the wings place.

West6MT

Dude, why dont you just go to the wings place at around 2. Its long distance calls on a cell phone for everyone that is coming. Its not like you are far from the place anyway.

West6MT

Does not look too bad out this morning where I am. Everyone ready for a meet.

lcrazyaznl

iTrader: (1)

ALright yea i'm ready see ya guys at two.

VB87

It's not snowing yet here either. Expected 30-40cm of snow around here by tomorrow.

See you guys soon.

ryanhook

I'll see you guys shortly!!

West6MT

OK Canucks,..............here is what Chris at Eshine said:

Steve, Today is not the greatest day. We have out of town family arriving about that time. It is possible however that if you knew what you needed ahead of time I can prepare it ahead of time and quickly shoot over to our meeting spot (HWY#3 Tim Horton's) and bring the order there. If that sounds OK let me know. You can call me at -----------. Thanks

So what do you think guys.


I am going to fill up with gas right now,........back in 10.

ryanhook

Fine with me. I know where Hwy 3 is if I'm headed to Port Colborne, but does that mean we're taking a side trip down the 406 or take the QEW all the way to Fort Erie and then shoot west along Hwy 3? I just want to confirm our directions.
