Fred and Barney were members of the 'Water Buffalos'. They are a private club much like Lions Club and Elks Club here in the US.
People who get together for steak fry, drinking, and all sorts of organized crap. Fund raisers... etc.
The Grand Poobah is the leader.

Option 3 - "Later". Yes, I will still be playing chess then. 🙂
Bodø. A looong time. If it's the last weekend of June, I'll almost certainly attend. If it's any other date, I won't.
In case those replying/interested in this forming Philadephia meetup, the World Open (put on by Continental Chess) is June 28th - July 4th.
Some people might be more inclined to combine an RHP meetup with such an event. Some might want to steer clear.
I've already voted but I didn't mention proximity or likelihood of attendance. I'm in Harrisburg, a little over an hour from Philly. As far as likelihood of attendance is concerned, I'm about 50% no matter when it is held. I'm so close that it isn't a big investment but, I'm a bit of an idiot at times so nothing I say is very reliable. The fact that I want to go has very little bearing on whether or not I show up. Regardless, I'll try to make it whenever it is held.

Cool man. I'm joining an American Legion post, looking for one now. I think, as a member of a post, I can get the hall for free or at very low cost. We bring in a widescreen TV, call a couple of strippers, get a goat...
I can bring the goat and a couple chickens from up here in Pennsylvania farm country. Hey do yinz have room for my dawgs?😛
