Block party has my vote
PERSONALLY, I'll be at the block party with both my kids. I've already seen so many 86ers there so I know there will be others.

Hey Candace - we ran into each other at the August block party I believe. Probalby others too. James and I are definitely going to the reunion. Don't know what we are doing Friday night yet - babysitting always a consideration. If we go out, I am fairly certain we will start or wind up at the block party. Are you going to the football game?

Wasn't sure which one it was - we have been to 2 of them between May and September of this year. I knew we went in August because we went out for our anniversary that happens to be at the end of August. I guess I saw you at the earlier one we went to.
I am cool with the Pub - actually I am pretty much up for going anywhere after the reunion. I just want to go where ever most of our classmates are going. I don't get to see a lot of these people very often or at all and I want to make the most of it!
Please keep me posted on what everyone is doing.

Hey Maarten,
I didn't know you in high school and i assume you didn't know me either but look forward to meeting you. The block party is a party spanning several blocks of Columbia Street in dowtown Covington. Street is closed to vehicular traffic. They usually have classic cars parked on the street for people to look at. Vendors sometimes selling items. You can walk up and down the street. If you remember where "Joe's Shoe Store" was - at the corner of Boston and Columbia that is the street it is on. The party starts on the Joe's side of Columbia, crosses Boston street and goes on for another 2 o3 blocks. There are now several restaurant/bars along Columbia St. that people go in and out of and there is the Tap Room that has a somewhat New Orleans style court yard that has a band (free) outside until about 9:00. Drinks are also served outside which are not cheap. Then inside, there is usually a band from about 10:00 to about 2:00. The Boston St. Pub, across from the old Covington Courthouse usually is pretty packed as well and usually has a DJ on that night. Hope this helps!
Angie - I haven't heard if everyone is meeting somewhere or not but I think that would be a good plan. The block parties get pretty crowded and it might be hard for everyone to find each other and perhaps recognize each other depending on how much we have changed! I would suggest trying to set up a meeting time and place and then everyone can figure out where they want to go from there. Even the people who might bypass the game and go straight to the block party can make their way to the designated area for the meeting.

How many are bringing their younger children to the game Friday night? And is the block party something the kids would enjoy? Even considering we won't make it there till about 10ish? Best thing would probably be to leave the game early, tuck kids into bed and go back to block party. Wanted to get some input from everyone else though about how many kids are attending the game.

Planning
I will be attending the reunion. I am not sure if there will be anyone there that I know. I was really shy in high school. I dated Sylvester (Billy Ray) Brumfield from 9th grade until after we graduated.
I was not able to attend the other reunions I am in the Air Force and have never been able to make it back to Covington at that time. I plan to attend the football game and the cocktail party.
What time will the tail gate party start for the football game?[/list]
