I think that we still ARE having drinks on the 27th. This was just a little impromptu get-together inspired by the unanticipated appearance of MisterNice in my neighborhood.

Free booze and munchies...who could say no? I had been hoping that you were tracking this thread yesterday. And ptpinit was within easy walking distance.

I think Essxjay was not thinking too clearly after the lowly Clippers beat her beloved Trailblazers. In fact, the lowly Clippers are having a better preseason that the even lowly-er Lakers.

Yeah, I was gunna say newself ... the World Champion Lakers losing to the WIZARDS!!! Now there's something to brag about ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Although, don't forget that the Wizards are now (partly) owned by none other than Michael Jordan. Maybe they will (eventually) be the next "wunderteam"?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Only if Mike is on the floor. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif Otherwise, they're just another sub-.500 team.

Sorry kiddo, but that's no trash talkin' ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

At least we beat the Sonics!

Ess,

That wasn't trash talkin'. You have to care about the team(s) in order to do that & I just haven't been as interested in the NBA since MJ hung up his Nike's once & for all.

Being from Baltimore originally, there is always Wizards talk/hype going on. The Wizards stink!!! And that is not just from a Baltimoron's perspective (read "hate D.C. teams).

Sorry I missed out on the gathering http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I was in a hurry to get home after talking shop with my new boss. Hope to make it this Friday--where are we meeting again, and when? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I miss Mike, too. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif But Vince Carter is sure a joy to watch.

Anyway, back to alcohol! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Friday? 7 or 7:30?? (Or you guys can meet earlier and I'll catch up with you ... but it's a late day at the gazette for me).

How about Higgins? They have the best tap selection in town (Guinness is usually on nitro) and, well, I can get there on foot if I'm running late ...

Higgins at 7:00? Sounds good!

ptpinit, LawLord,

7 p.m. Friday at Higgins is a go. I should be there without much ado. I'll try to be at my usual spot at the south end of the bar ... just ask Mike the bartender and he'll point you in the right direction. See you then.

I'll see you all there at 7:00 on Friday.

I will also be there around 7:00. South end of the bar, ask Mike, gotcha....

Correction on Friday night's barkeep at Higgins: it will be the genial Charlie instead of the illustrious Mike. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

See you guys around 7.

It was a real pleasure chatting with everyone last night and I am looking forward to doing it again sometime. And Essxjay, when do you want to check out the Delta lounge? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
