« « Previous | Defcon Day, April 1 - Pictures » »
Defcon Day is upon us, so if you are on the East Coast, prepare your liver and your lips for a day of beer and wings. In case you missed it before, here are the details:
When:
Saturday, April 1st, 1-6pm
Where:
The Alley Bar and Grill
428 Springfield Avenue
Berkeley Heights, NJ
908-464-2499
Free wings (as usual, with #3 & #2) #1 will be available, and perhaps the tasting of the ZERO BATCH #2. Coors Light girls, drink specials.
By train: When you get off the train, head towards Springfield Avenue. At Springfield Avenue, make a RIGHT not a left, and The Alley is a few blocks down on your right, near Kings Supermarket.
How does one get to the bar from Manhattan?
PATH to Hoboken, take the Morris/Essex “local” train to the Berkeley Heights station (you may have to switch trains in Summit, ask the conductor). From there, you’ll see the Police Station on one side of the tracks, HEAD AWAY FROM THE POLICE STATION! ![]()
You’ll go about 150 yards and come to Springfield Avenue, make a right, it’s about 2-3 blocks down on your right, to the left of the Kings Supermarket.
And for those of you that missed out on a Defcon Zero Batch #2 - there’s one on eBay for today only!

eman have fun with the drywall, and huvason, if I dont see you, have a great itme, should be fun.
Good luck and have fun today Creator!! Take pictures!
I’ll be there in spirit if not in body!!! Have a great time, and be thankful that Cheffy, “The Big Guy”, isn’t there for the wing eating contest!

I wish I could be there too, Cheffy. I’m taking it that you are pretty good at wing eatin’?
Weighing at 350lbs, I doubt not my ability to eat as many wings as are put in front of me, heh heh heh. Hence being 350lbs!

HAHAHA I suppose you are correct but I bet even if you weighed in at a buck seventy you could still put away some wings through the sheer love of all things hot.
First I have to get to Manhattan from Toronto!
If I show up - you guys by me beers and carry me back to the airport.
I meant buy me beers!

Key msk, the creator says hi
Throw some wings in a padded envelope and run to the Post Office! Quick!
Hi John & Maggie!
Tis is not fair, been getting my butt kicked all day here at the Restaurant and you all are eating wings and drinking beer. Just wait till Zest Fest!!!! Cheffy is gonna cut loose!
And I’m having to cut grass and whatever else the yard dictates ![]()

You ARE one of us!! hehe
All right its 4:25 and mad just showed up. He held up the wing eating contest
I just found out what rhe prize is…
Could y’all schedule some fun on the other coast once in a while - We feel left out
Hey, I’m all kinds of fun! ![]()

Pam on 4/1/2006 at 4:47 pm said:

I agree.. how ’bout The Creator makes his way west with stops along the way. I would love to have one in Wisconsin somewhere. My buddy owns a bar and is more than willing to host a Decon Day with plenty of drink specials !!
Well, cough it up huvason!
After last night, we’d all like to know what the prize is ![]()
You’ll have to ask nick he won. I came in second.
Yea, but you got the Blackberry, how were those beers? All that chili made me thirsty…
Well, we’re waiting…how many did he eat, and what was the prize? Come on huv…
I agree, don’t keep us in suspense!!
Maybe we will never know… lol I bet they had a kickin time!
Well something AWFUL must have happened Cheffy…It’s just not like these guys to clam up!!!
I heard that!!! Usually can’t keep um quiet. Hey, did you get my e-mail OK, Mr. CaJohn sir.
Certainly did, thank you so much, might even be a surprise in there when you get it!
Now Cheffys gone…I’m going too, got a hockey game to go too. I guess I’ll find out later…
Well you are all in for some good laughs. I’m not at liberty to give the details but trust me when I say they are GOOD!
Good as in ‘black mail’ good? Or good as in ‘these will be around for awhile’ good? Both?
So take off CaJohn! I’ve got some distance to put between us ![]()
Blackmail? No. Comments for weeks to come, yes.
where glad your safe Nick
Nick Lindauer on 4/1/2006 at 8:41 pm said:
Made it back in one piece, can’t say the same for the unfortunate folks that had to share a train car with me, but oh well.
The contest was an elimation round, but frankly after the first round it was only Huvason and myself - we ended up going 4 rounds - 13 wings each round = 52 wings in less then 45 minutes.
The prize: One signed Defcon shirt and a Defcon Zero Batch #2 which I will be using for prize for the next Caption contest - pictures to come from today’s wing contest…
Also part of the prize, a signed Coors Light framed picture that I gave to Mad (sorry Mad’s wife).
I feel bad for the toliet!
Just want to add that I had a GREAT time! Unfortunately I think there are pictures to follow, oh well
Nick truly won the wing contest - dude can eat them fast! I think I would have outlasted him on quantity, but he kick my butt on speed:)
I had a great time with everyone, and want to personally thank the creator. He is really a great guy.

huvason…how is the belly?
Well, I guess we’ll just HAVE to wait for the pics…Sounds like we REALLY missed it!!!
eman on 4/1/2006 at 10:56 pm said:
huvason…how is the belly?
Belly is all GOOD. Not even sure how many wings ate! 50 or so in the contest, but I was chowing down on DEFCON ONE wings for 3 hours before that! Definitely a good day.
PROPS to the Creator.

I would ask how you are but I dont want to intrude on your conversation
CaJohn check your e-mail, this is probably why I have not gotten a lot of e-mail you hit reply too.
If you have sent me any mails in last few days please resend.
That goes for anyone here. Lane huvason chris k Nick and anyone that has had correspondence please send me an e-mail so i can re-add your addresses to my contacts, as computer crash last week was a bigger hassle than i realised until today, … funny thing though, you know who helped me figure it all out… ![]()
capsicum too at taste the pain LOL (spelling issue there i think)

Well, I figure Nick was probably inebriated when leaing the bar. While driving down the slums of NY City (he got lost) he saw a pretty face on the side of the road (failed to notice the adams apple). He stopped to ask for directions to the nearest proctologist (ring of fire, you know the drill) and before he could scream like a little girl with a skinned knee, he was abducted by neo-nazi lesbian hooker spies and forced into a weight loss program…that’s the only LOGICAL conclusion I can come up with ![]()
