Taking the Train to SHFD?

Here's the schedule from the LIRR (Penn Station) to Cedarhurst (Far Rockaway Line):
6:56 - arrives at 7:41
7:54 - arrives at 8:43
8:42 - arrives at 9:31
9:08 - arrives at 9:58
With all of those trains, you need to transfer at Jamaica. Grab a seat towards the front of the train. Once you get off the train, walk to the front and down the ramp. When you get to the end of the ramp, make a right (Washington Avenue). Walk a couple of blocks, then turn right on Oak Avenue. We're at 441 - just a 3-5 minute walk from the train. Cya tomorrow...

My Hero

The giant sandwich has been ordered: a 6-foot meat rainbow, surrounded by bunly goodness. Are you getting excited? Us too.

Happy Chaka Khan!

This time of year our thoughts turn to late comedian Dennis Wolfberg, a fellow Queens College alumnus who had a routine about how people would try to wish him a Happy Chanukah but ended up pronouncing it wrong and saying things like "Happy Chaka Khan."

Just for fun, here's his routine about giving his twin sons a bris.

Deletion by Subtraction

Ding, dong, the wiki's dead.

About 15 minutes ago, one of the many nerds who scour Wikipedia for bogus entries under the mistaken belief that by doing so they're maintaining some imagined integrity of the site have seen fit to delete the Super Happy Fun Day entry. More specifically, one particular nerd named Fuhghettaboutit.

Of course, it doesn't much matter, as anyone who wanted to read the entry already has. Still, being deleted is neither super, nor happy, nor fun.

Picture this

Dug up some photos from Super Happy Fun Day 2005.

Avi and Jonathan shoot hoops while the Pez dispensers look on.
Someone's kicking ass at Boggle. Probably Adam.
Ami takes aim while Gadi tries to melt the table with his heat vision.
Jeremy ponders his next move. Another beer will help.
Then again, maybe another beer is a bad idea.

Oblogitory

Newton's Third Law of the Internet clearly states that every blog must include occasional pop culture references from the '80s. Done.

Wings and a prayer

A few of you have asked about the Super Happy Fun Day menu. So here goes:

Beer
Lots of other good things to drink
Wings
Chili
One of those really long sandwiches
Franks (you know, in blanks)

And if you're really lucky, you might just earn yourself one of Sarah's signature chocolate chip cookies.

Come hungry, kids.

Chinese Food

Looks like this guy has the same problem we do. Someone should tell him about Super Happy Fun Day.

SHFD 2.0

Invitations to Super Happy Fun Day 2.0 went out tonight. In case you didn't get yours, here's the text:

In today’s changing business landscape, establishing marketshare and increasing one’s footprint is no longer a matter of picking the low-hanging fruit.

Those looking to impact the coveted 18–49 demographic on Christmas Eve need to reach out in new ways if they are to compete with blue chips like skiing, Atlantic City, and the motion picture industry.

To that end, Super Happy Fun Day, a fully immersive entertainment and culinary experience, is rolling out an integrated, multiplatform, interactive, new-media marketing campaign that will take the conversation to the users through their preferred communications vehicles.

This rollout includes a presence on several social networking platforms, including Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Twitter. Wiki applications, widgets, and social bookmarking will all be enabled to enhance the user experience. There will also be a blog with exclusive access to event updates and commentary on related breaking news.

The product launch will be held on Monday, December 24, 2007 at 8:00 PM at our corporate headquarters.

Thank you,
Sarah and Adam Hofstetter
