WT Dinner in Indy w/Clintofio Tomorrow: 2/27

[Gun Mutt]

Open to one & all!

In case you didn't catch the other thread, Warrior Entrepreneur Clintofio of Nature Blinds (http://natureblinds.com/) is in town on business and would like to break bread with any available WT's. Clint is free tomorrow, Wednesday evening. Based on Indy's rush hour & work schedules, I'm suggesting a 7pm dinner. I'm guessing downtown? I don't really know what Clint's AO is while he's here.

Me, Fleahateme & Vigilant are totally in, who else has the adaptability to join us? I'm pretty open as to where we eat...long as the main course had a mommy.


Even if you can't come, please help spread the word to local WT's.

[Vigilant]

In for wherever! I'm not as picky as Gun Mutt, I'll eat the mommy too!

[Mr. Anthony]

Hey, don't let him eat bread! Meat and stuff is fine. :silly:

Wish I was up there!

[Gun Mutt]

Duly noted, Mr. A. Maybe we should go to the all meat bazaar, Fogo de Chao (http://www.fogodechao.com/index.php?id=160)?

Hey Irish Mike, don't sweat it bro, I'll call your Mrs & ask if you can go.

[AlwaysVigilant]

Dang, not enough notice to roll down for this, but I will be there in spirit. Weber Grill? Its close to the Convention Center, and hotel row. St. Elmo's is overrated IMHO, I'd rather go to Ruth's Chris. Just sayin.

Forgot Fogo....bingo, baby.

Hey Irish Mike, don't sweat it bro, I'll call your Mrs & ask if you can go. That would be great! I might get a two or three hour pass! Actually, dick, I may be going snowboarding tomorrow (for the first time), unless we get a bunch of crappy weather, and I may not be back in time. Cant go wrong with Fogo, other than eating way too much to move. Them Brazilians, man, they sure know how to eat, (and party from what I hear)

Fogo would be sweet, just remember, no AIWB carry is possible after a night there!

Yer bro is driving, right? 'Cause the ground is gonna beat you up sooo bad, your only hope is drinking.

[clintofio]

Count me in! I'm staying at the Omni and am working at the convention center a block away and don't have wheels. If fogo is close that sounds like a winner.

[Gun Mutt]

Ok, I was talking w Vigilant earlier today and we kicked around eating at Fogo. Click on the link in my post above, it ain't cheap, but it's an absolute experience to eat there...100% bon vivant. We're only on this rock once & I know I haven't been buying ammo every other week like I used to...who else can make it?

So far the head count is:
IN = 3
TX = Clint + ?

ETA: Come Hungry!!!

[Vigilant]

Count me in! I'm staying at the Omni and am working at the convention center a block away and don't have wheels. If fogo is close that sounds like a winner.I can swing by and pick you up at the Omni if you need?

[Gun Mutt]

You rock. I'm coming straight from work & just sent Clint a text that you might be able to provide a ride. WT, it's the place to be. :cool:

[Vigilant]

We may want to see if we need reservations since the NFL Combine is in town as well?

[Michael Swisher]

I would love to make it guys, as Gun Mutt knows I will drive 3 hours to eat, but I leave early Thur. morning for an out of town trip and just can't line things up.

[Gun Mutt]

Bro..you're welcome to crash at my place & leave from Indy in the a.m. if that makes it more doable for you. Like one of my IN tribe once said, If I've got a roof, you've got a roof.

GinaC just chimed in that she's gonna try to make it, so that's IN = 4 for sure.

I just reserved a table for 10 tomorrow at 7pm under the name Jones. The hostess said we're better off to start at a big table & cut it down to size as nec. Puhleeze post if you're going to make it so we can have our table ready.

[clintofio]

Im bringing 1 guest. And I will just walk it unless the weather is terrible I will hit Vigilant up for a ride. Thanks guys!

[Vigilant]

Im bringing 1 guest. And I will just walk it unless the weather is terrible I will hit Vigilant up for a ride. Thanks guys!I come right by the O anyway so let me know! Rob, I am down 100%

[bushidomedic]

I'll be working until at least 8p if not later plus the 1hr+ drive. :-( I'll see if I can get someone to cover my shift or come in early!

[clintofio]

Bonus points if anyone can bring a grab and stab for me to mess with... would like to handle one.

[ErikRN]

Can't make it, have to be at work at 1850. Next Time my friends.

Erik

[Vigilant]

Bonus points if anyone can bring a grab and stab for me to mess with... would like to handle one.I have an original Draven Model if you want me to bring it?

[Jcord]

I will be there. I look forward to meeting more WT'S

[AlwaysVigilant]

Enjoy today brothers, I am pissed I can't make it. Have an extra piece of lamb for me!

[Gun Mutt]

I will be there. I look forward to meeting more WT'S
This is shaping up nicely!

IN = 5
OH= 1
TX = 2

The hostess was definitely correct to have me reserve a bigger table.

Sent out two more PM's this morning...I gotta start keeping a list of IN WT's for quicker reference.

AV...dude, no Fogo, no RTG...you've changed.

I know man...babies will do that to you. Actually the dinner has to be missed for work crap. I just didn't have time to reschedule my appointments. The RTG, has to do with spending time with my eldest son, its my weekend with him. Hopefully I will make the next one. :angry1:

[Gun Mutt]

Updated:

IN = 6
OH = 1
TX = 2

We've got one more seat at the table before I've gotta change the reservation.
Chime in if you're coming.
Again, reservations are under Jones.

[Lucky Jackson]

Chiming in Gun Mutt make it 10 for dinner.

See you all tonight.


L J

[Gun Mutt]

Shoot, Lucky, I was already counting you! Still a seat open & we can always add more.

[Gun Mutt]

Bummer, Fleahateme had to drop out because the Crown Royal honcho is in town and demanded a meeting tonight on the prototypes Flea had submitted.

Good news, only 8 out of 10 seats filled.

Any more takers?

[machine-o]

I wish i could make it im only 40 minutes south, but its my night with my son. Between work an family its hard to get time through the week, maybe next time

[Mr. Anthony]

Can we get an AAR here?

[Vigilant]

Can we get an AAR here?As soon as the food coma wears off, I'm sure someone will post!

[AlwaysVigilant]

As soon as the food coma wears off, I'm sure someone will post!

Booooooo. Get tougher!

[Gun Mutt]

The crew: Icefox, Ben, Vigilant, Clintofio, Kurt, Lucky Jackson, GinaC, & Gun Mutt. The photographer "Joey" is so OPSEC conscious that he volunteered to take the pic, but declined to be in it.

Warrior bon vivant, indeed:

And finally, some lamb for AV:

Thanks bro...sooooo jealous. Nice cutlery by the way!

[Gun Mutt]

Great food and conversation. Joey & Kurt may have found a business link as the evening wore on, too.

Hey Mr. Anthony- can you tell me why Clint kept pestering the wait staff for a carry out box of chocolate & strawberries? I didn't get it, I was personally much too full, but he was soooo insistent.

[Lucky Jackson]

Rule #9 Never go anywhere without a knife !!!

What a wonderful night. It was great to meet Cliff from Texas and his brother.

As stated, I'm still full from last nights meal. The Fogo De Chao's staff just kept bringing more and more food.

Although I had a very interesting ride home. There was a very curious IMPD officer that followed me half way home. I'm glad he wasn't behind old lead foot Gun Mutt....:tongue:

We must do this again!

Uh oh, you guys let him get into the wine, didn't you? I feel bad for whoever's cleaning the hotel room. They'll never get the crayon off the ceiling.

Nailed it! You only said no bread, so this is sorta your fault.

[irishmike]

Man oh man, its a shame I missed out. Ive eaten Fogo enough times by now to not be jealous of the food, but I am green with envy about the fellowship and conversations you fellas shared. A tip for the locals: fogo' s lunch service is the exact same menu as dinner, and it is half price. Not recommended if you have a lot to do afterwards, like anything but taking a nap.

I did try out snowboarding for the first time yesterday, and i am feeling old, out-of-shape, and beat to sh!t this morning, but it was fun. No way I couldve made it out there after that, I was too busy licking my wounds and icing my knees. Super cool you guys all got to meet, we should organize something similar soon, but maybe with guns, a grill, and the outdoors involved.

[GinaC]

It was a fantastic dinner! To the guys I've already met, it was good to see you! To everyone else, so nice to meet you. As always, you guys were very welcoming and gentlemanly! :biggrin: Thank you!!

[Vigilant]

[GinaC]

That's true, good point!

[Gun Mutt]

The rose among the thorns.

[GinaC]

Very sweet.:veryhappy:

[AlwaysVigilant]

The rose among the thorns.

Shameless...I like it.

[irishmike]

I just barfed all over my phone screen. You guys keep it up, and youre going to give me flippin diabetes.

A) I'm happy to be a thorn.
B) Barfing just means you can't hold your liquor...now everyone knows.
3) Don't be all nasty, punkin', the whole tribe wishes your fiance was interested in guns & knives...so it's not just you.

Look here graybush, the misses likes guns, knives, and dogs just fine. All the important stuff. I just wish she would actually shoot with me more, and take it more seriously. She takes her own self defense for granted, when shes "out" she is with me. (And pretty darn safe). Im working on it.

And youve seen me drink. 2 appletini's and im peemypants wasted! :friday:

[AlwaysVigilant]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA yous twos!

[irishmike]

Naw its good between us. Sometimes when she works all day her vajayjay gets all chaffed and raw. I says to her, GM, go home and dust off with some gold bond, and follow it up with some ben gay or whatever you old farts are using these days on your sore muscles. As for the graybush, I only tease because the just for men beard kit is so available, easy to use, and takes 10 years off your pubic appearance. Just sayin

WTF? What did I just wander into?! :ugh: I'm too alarmed to read back thru how dinner turned to pubic dying!

Meh, the rest of the thread is safe. It's just ever since the movie Hall Pass and the obvious resemblance between their character, Irish, and our Irish, who is also a character...she's been a little sensitive. If you've seen the flic, you'll know what I mean.

Oh snap! Just saw this movie. (I had hoped no one else had!). Well played sir.

I sent you a pm...do you have your account set up to send you an email when you get a pm? Wondered why you didn't respond. Next time for sure.

Heck, we're getting close enough to good weather that "next time" will probably be on private property with a little range time, a bonfire & a grill.
