Forum Happy Hour (for a good cause)!

Loons and loonettes

I remember a time when we used to socialize face to face from time to time instead of squabbling on the board. So how about a forum happy hour, and for a good cause to boot?

Heurich house is one of DCs most beautiful and unique buildings. Unfortunately, due to a series of unfortunate events (that make Lemony Snickets life look golden), they're kinda screwed unless they can raise a lot of money in the next few months.

So on Friday, theres a tour of the house available for a $5 (or more) donation, after which we could retire to a watering hole of our choice for some choice libations…..???

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Markie? Lulu? Chaz? Hoya? Kosmo? Bags? Arlette? bearman? Seth?

Myself and Relaxer could even share 1 earbud each as we listen to The Woods? :(

And when we get good and liquored up, we can go bumrush the DCist party… ;)

a capital idea!

I dont think either of us could get there till gone 8. We would come and meet you all at a bar afterward though…..

i'd be up for this..

ok, lets do it

I would love to. But I have a secret. I'm not an urban coolster like you guys. I live far, far away in a remote place called…….Virginia. ;)

I'm a couple of hours from DC so a Friday won't work. Hope I do get to meet some of you sometime, but logistics on a week day pose a problem.

Have fun.

Aw, I would but I'm off to Portland this weekend. I'll have to catch you next time.

I'm laid up with a ruptured disc. No fun for me.

jeez, Arlette…Mankies flying in from Ireland and you can't come from Virginia!! ;)

an illicit tryst with pollard?

brennsito, my extra b&s ticket (night 2, you're welcome to roll with us) is yours if you still want it. i'll bring it with me tomorrow if this happy hour deal pans out.

Arlette, I hate to shatter the illusion, but if you turned out you'd learn that the overwhelming majority of this board are neither urban nor coolsters!

I've got comp tickets to the Irish dancers thing at the Strathmore, so I can meet folks out late, like 10:30 to 11:00 (pretty late for a Friday…). If there's a bar plan, I'm probably in.

it is the #1 reason tourists give for coming to portland, but unfortunately for me I dont believe this is her reason

You want unhip, try Springfield. I'll be home supporting the troops.

I lived there too, so I know the unhip factor. You should have seen Springfield in the 60's. Where Der Springfield mall shopping paradise now stands, was only a lame strip mall in the 60s.
