Connecticut

Hey Mike,good to hear we'll have another Gooner here. I'm not sure there are many of us here to be fair, although the world-famous(well, the Big Soccer World)Jeff Lancaster told me he has family along the sound I think(correct me if I'm wrong) and there's a few of us posting here and coming on the Arsenal America Roadtrip in December(when are you heading over if you do?) Anyway there is some bar downstate but that's out of the way for me. There's an Irish bar called the Half Door kinda near where you'll be in Hartford that advertises showing Premiership matches Saturdays and Sundays but I'm not sure-I need to check it out myself. Best bet is getting on a train, bus, or in a car and heading down to New York and going to Nevada Smith's, 74 3rd Ave(might be Street)in Manhattan. It's a Manc bar but not when the Gooners are there. Fantastic. And it's New York after you head out of the bar. Keep us informed on if you're headed over. Look forward to seeing you...any cute sisters?

 

I'm with Marting regarding the New York thing, it's the best bet with no cover. Nevada Smiths if you want an experience, Clancy's if you want peace and food in your stomach. Anyways, Anna Liffey's here in New Haven claims to be showing EPL Sundays, but you can never talk to anyone there who can answer with a definite yes or no.

 

damn...

 

I would think that any time at all spent in Manhattan, Kansas, would be like jail.

 

You might have a look here Mickey:

Just two tea rooms listed for Connecticut, no pubs, but you still might find it interesting.

 

But I've heard that all of that isolation from the outside world has turned K-State (and KU as well) into quite the party schools. So yeah, you might be in the middle of nowhere but if you like partying, this might be for you.

But then, I've partied with Aussies before and I'm pretty sure a University in Sydney could hold it's own.

 

i've been to connecticut, and no offense to the guys that live there, but i thought it was the most boring place in the universe. one of my friends went to yale, and he agrees with me. he hated every minute he was there. the only reason i can see going to connecticut is for NYC. i'm not trying to offend any CN people here, but it's just my opinion

 

(smugly) well i can see your friend never attended the pumpkin festival in seymour

 

The Playwright in Hamden is my favorite place to watch locally. About 20-25 minutes from New Britian.

...but Nevada Smith's is worth the trip to the Big City.

 

Eghhh... London to New Britttian, CT. I had a bunch of friends that went to CCSU. Not to discourage you but that place is a piece of *#*#*#*#.

 

Obviously you didn't go to Yale, or know your georgraphy very well. CT buddy CT

 

Maxim,

if you don't mind, I'm going to take your post and have it be my signature, an absolute classic.


Yeah, well I've seen Waterboy. Should that be enough for me to make up my mind about LA?

 

There are also Playwrights in Stamford and New Haven, for that matter. The one in New Haven is supposed to be huge and very good.

 

It's really nice, but a complete frat boy bar and they have no idea as to whether or not they're showing any games.

 

Gotcha. I've never been in there myself - just heard about it. Maybe this winter when I'm back home.

 

None heretaken...too much you say is too true. You need to be married to a very hot babe(and there's PLENTY of them here...right) who likes *ahem* "Staying In" so there is no need to go out here-unless going to NYC. Living in Connecticut is kind of like living on an asteroid without the hot babe to "Stay In" with. For American Gooners look at the Connecticut State Quarter-a bare tree with a gray background-it's not coin it's a photo of this state from October to April. No I'm NOT bitter that my mom moved from New York City up here when I was 2, or that I left LA and moved back here. And no I'm not gonna kill myself from boredom-I wanna see who Wenger Signs in January...

 

i feel really stupid about the CN thing. i'm usually really good at geography. oh well. and hey, i'm not trying to defend louisiana, i hate this hellhole. my goal in life is to live in london, the only reason i'm going into nursing. yes, people here are remarkably stupid, but i would hope that you judge me by the quality of my writing. and judging louisiana from the waterboy is like judging golf from happy gilmore. plus i don't live in cajun triangle of louisiana, so i'm absolved from any accusations of being inbred god i hate this f***ing state. oh yeh, and martin, that was another thing my friend told me, there are almost no attractive women there. that is at least one thing we have on CT, and the only thing i will defend louisiana on. shjt, we got girls down here that make brittany spears look average. and i mean low average...like C-. that was me pretending to be cool

 

Being born in Connecticut carries with it certain responsibilities.

Well the University of Connecticut at Storrs is in the middle of nowhere but quite a cool place due to it's size and phenominal athletic program. Central Connecticut State, where yo usay you're attending doesn't hold any of those distinctions and is a far worse school.
