Anyone from the CT area want to do a GTG ?

I was thinking Mohegan Sun, since there is an AD inside, plenty of restaurants / bars to grab a drink at, etc.

What do you all think ? Don't even think we have ever had a CT GTG before.

Watchflair · 17 June 2016, 03:36 AM

Hmmm..... Not a bad idea. I'm in Westchester NY and may be in pending date etc

Hpozzuoli · 17 June 2016, 01:09 PM

Depending on dates I would like to try

Mike B · 17 June 2016, 08:34 PM

Ok nice ! Seems there is a few people interested then !

How about something away from the holiday, how about Sunday September 18th @ Mohegan ( meet at the Tuscany by the waterfall ) at 4PM ?

AJM914 · 23 June 2016, 06:16 AM

That could work for me....lets see how many ppl we can get

J!m · 23 June 2016, 06:20 AM

I'm interested.

I think my friend Jason would be interested too.

Let's not forget something like two roads brewery, or if a smaller group, over shores brewery...

giguere9 · 23 June 2016, 07:34 AM

I would be interested.I'll check in again to see the dates

AJM914 · 12 July 2016, 08:32 AM

This would make it convenient. Greenwich or New Canaan. I would be in pending date and time. Lets set something up!

Pick a date August or September
Pick a place
Set a time

I'm free most nights during the week. Weekends are hard as its my time w the wife.

BigAl72 · 21 July 2016, 09:27 AM

If Mohegan I would be interested in going.

HogwldFLTR · 22 July 2016, 01:49 PM

Mohegan, Yea; Greenwich, Nay.

Schoey12 · 26 July 2016, 10:22 PM

I'd be interested. Either location works for me. Depends on the date though... I will check back.

HobokenRolex · 27 July 2016, 02:15 AM

I'll be at Mohegan this Friday and Saturday with my wife and kids. Is there an AD there (sorry, off topic)? I can meet up in case anyone happens to be there this weekend.

J!m · 27 July 2016, 04:18 AM

There is an AD there but I for one cannot come out there this weekend.

Mike B · 27 July 2016, 05:00 AM

There is in fact an AD there. Lux Bond + Green. They are located on the Shops where the Tuscany restaurant is ( just a short walk from the waterfall ) , at the newer part of the casino. Be prepared, they offer ZERO discount, with FULL CT sales tax.

AJM914 · 2 August 2016, 09:40 AM

Mohegan would be a good time

linesiders · 2 August 2016, 01:36 PM

The Harp and Hound in Mystic ;)

BigAl72 · 9 August 2016, 07:28 AM

Any updates?

AP8ESQ · 10 August 2016, 10:09 AM

I'd be interested depending on location and date. Will subscribe to keep on the radar.

christianj · 17 August 2016, 10:27 PM

I might be interested as well if I am in CT on the date everyone agrees on.

Watchflair · 18 August 2016, 12:28 AM

Just throwing some ideas out there/ I've put together a few GTG's and have learned some lessons.

In past experience meeting at an AD isn't always the most fun option. Odds are that the AD is not going to have anything we haven't seen before. Don't expect a Daytona C or BLNR to make its way out...

Meeting over some drinks and talking watches is usually the best setting.
Somewhere that has a decent level of privacy for security purposes is usually best.
I personally like to bring a few watches. I bring a watch roll and leave it open on the table (obviously in sight) and encourage others to do the same.

Going to a crowded restaurant and passing watches around the table and taking pictures etc tends to draw the wrong kind of attention.

Obviously it goes without saying that everyone pays their own way. If you order a drink pay for your drink.

Mohegan isn't a bad option. Sunday's during the day are usually crowded though with people making day trips to the casino. If there is somewhere there that we could sit at some tables or high tops without necessarily having dinner and just order drinks?

Here's another option. Just something fun for a Sunday. It's earlier in the day so it won't take up your entire Sunday:

Caffeine & Carburetors Sunday October 16 @ Waveny Park in New Canaan CT

http://caffeineandcarburetors.com/

Pretty awesome time. Hundreds of crazy cars. Lots of watch spotting. Could go to breakfast or lunch afterwards.

Cigar spot in New Haven:

The Owl Shop
268 College St New Haven CT

Also worth mentioning is that it seems College St in New Haven.

I'm thinking time wise Middle September and on is best. Get past the summer and Labor Day etc.

Let's get this going! Feedback and suggestions are welcome and needed to get this to happen.

Watchflair · 18 August 2016, 12:43 AM

Some pics from a previous GTG to give an idea:

911Cab · 18 August 2016, 12:46 AM

Love the watch & car GTG idea. Plus it'll give folks enough time to block out their schedules.

I stay in the greater-Hartford area (Farmington, actually) every Wednesday night if anyone wants to grab a drink.
