What a lovely idea ... ^

dec 6 is the only open date for me that week. too many holiday festivities....

I vote for Sat the 10th! Weekends I can usully do. :)

I have an idea.

I am probably going back to work in the new year after taking time off since April. So I still have plenty time to plan a cocktail party in December and would be willing to host a FT Happy Hour / Poker game at my condo near Old Town Alexandria.

I can cook and serve a meal buffet-style and have lots of red and white wine for medicinal purposes. I usually like to take into account any food allergies, likes and dislikes when planning my menu.

Anyone interested in this on Saturday, December 10th around 5:00 or 6:00 pm?

I'd love to go but I'll be in Boston the 10th and 11th. :(

Boston is not a bad alternative IMHO ... ;)

I'd be there. Without bells on. ;)

Cool. That's 1 down.

How about everyone else?

Can Atlanta Join???
 

May just be able to join in.....My vote is for a Saturday evening.....Hopefully you mean Hold Em as it's the only game I know I can play!

Anyone is welcome. This is FT after all. ;)

If we can make it into a DC/Poker Mini DO, then that's even better. ^ ^ ^

Sounds good -- not sure about me and the poker. Need any potluck food?

You don't need to bring anything to eat as I love to cook (unless you have food allergies and would prefer to not take any chances).

You can however bring your favorite beverage if you don't like wine, sparkling water or sodas.

So who do we have?

Japhydog and Ms. Japhydog

On Sat., Dec. 10? At what time? And what about Secret Santa?

dcgators, if you need any help prepping I'd volunteer.

I believe Sweetpea is also coming up from ATL. Maybe she'll manage to convince her cousins who live in McLean to join us too.

5:00 pm or sooner is fine by me. Anyone can come and hang out at anytime after 1:00 pm.

Help is always welcome if only because we can open a bottle of vino and chat in the kitchen, right? ;)

I can make it >5p on Saturday, got commitments all day long. :(

Keep me posted, Texas Hold'Em sounds fun.
