Ooooh!! Low Shot TIS!!!!

If Paulie hadn't called in sick that day then there wouldn't have been any problem!

I think that he was sick because he drank too many of those "CUTE" Blue Drinks the night before!

He actually looks thinner in some of the pics. :p

Try a 12-Step program

Yeah, I know what you mean. We NJ/NY folks usually meet about twice a year for dinner/drinks, and this weekend was the longest we've spent together as a group. Got kinda addicting, huh? Think we'll have to meet up more often throughout the year! Maybe once more before the nasty 5-month NY Winter sets in?

Sounds like a plan to me! The question is though, WHERE in NY/NJ are we going to get away with acting up the way that we did in the Chicago Hotel lounge? LOL! We'll just have to take over another lounge again!

How about your apartment, DC? :p

Here's a pic of myself with Clem Caserta , a character actor known to often co-star with De Niro, best known for playing Jimmy Whispers in A Bronx Tale.


(I added a bit of noise to his face because he's not too keen on his pics being posted online and used for other purposes. Altho, his pics are all over the place anyway, I wanted to honor his request.)

Any actor wannabes in the NY area may want to check out his acting school

PS - To the attendees - Anyone else besides SC and me get really sick this week, or was it just a coincidence?

Geoff,

Sorry you SC/L got sick. No, I feel fine. Maybe you caught a bug a Wrigley's . Since I didn't go to the game, and you guys did. Just a thought.

In any case, hope you all are feeling better real soon.

Well, sounds like you all had a grand time. Anyone go fishing with Neri? I was buying a second home in Prescott, AZ. You seemed to have more fun than I did, filling out forms that say I read all the disclosures on my new property, I am not a miscreant (had my fingers crossed when I signed it!), don't go by any aliases (except Turnbull).

Turbull - Congrats! I love Arizona, and visited every year in my middle and high school years when my grandparents lived there (Sun City). Every year we'd tour a different part of the state, and I recall Prescott on the way to Sedona and Flagstaff. I always said to myself my winter home would be in Arizona. And Prescott isn't quite as arid as the desert areas I'm used to visiting, so I think you got a great location! Excellent! Save a room for me!!

If you go golfing down in Scottsdale and see Alice Cooper, say hi for me

DonMichael,

The convention in Chicago was a " Golden Age Of Gangsters Convention " which obviously was a collector's show/convention of Mob memorabilia. Many of us from these boards had decided that this convention was a good venue for us to meet and have a little Gangster BB convention/get together of our own. So several members of these boards flew in or drove in from different parts of the country to meet each other and at the same time attend the convention. If you look at some of these posts in this thread you will see pictures of us at the convention. Let me say this my friend, and I know that I can speak for all of us who attended ; we had a really great time! I sincerely would love for many more board members to attend our next Gangster BB get together be it at the second annual Golden Age Of Gangsters Convention or just a Gangster BB get together of our own.

Congratulations on your home purchase TB ! Although I've only driven thru it, I hear Arizona is very nice. Why, you'd be just a hop, skip and a jump away from me (well kind of)! We'll have to do lunch! :p Good luck to you!

Turi,

According to Clem, it should be out directly to cable sometime soon. He told us that he was in negotiations with several cable companies. What originally happened is that the sound people who were in charge of the sound and sound cuts of this movie somehow screwed up and the sound did not come out too well. It would have been too expensive for him to re-shoot those scenes so the cable companies may buy this movie from him and absorb the expense of correcting the sound problems. I do know that Clem is currently working on another movie titled " The Great White Hope " which is about a fighter. If I hear anything else about both these movies I will keep you posted.

Thanks, TIS. One of the reasons we bought in Arizona is that, given the San Andreas Fault, we could have Pacific beachfront property in a few years. :rolleyes:

That is correct my friend. And According to Clem, they did NOT delete the scene that I was in. Hopefully we'll see if that's correct! LOL!
