Ah yes! I nearly forgot! I hope things will work out this time around.

26th (wednesday) everyone?!?!?

Will update the first post after I have a few positive responses.

How about a friday for those of us coming from further away? @:-)

After the "raves" I heard about the DC HH group from a couple of attendees at the BBQ DO last weekend in KC (and no, not that you're all raving lunatics), I thought I should check it out myself. So, if you're willing to add a first-timer to your table, I'd like to attend. Either the 25th or 26th would work for me.

See you there!

peace,
~Ben~

Not an option for Pizzaman and 5 guys - maybe when FightingIlliniUAL is in town.

I do personally prefer weekend days myself too - and perhaps we can do another on a weekend.

Pizzaman read no further...

Unfortunately this one is primarily to totally take way too much advantage of Pizzaman's fantastic offer which he recommends only on the nights that his Five Guy's locations are not too crazily occupied :)

Depending on your schedule we can definitely do another weekend HH.

So far I have

25th - SeoulManJr
26th - Gleff

Doesn't matter - everyone else.

1-1 for both dates.

You have until end of the day today (4/13/06) to get people to the polls and help decide the date - else I will decide it to be the 26th!

Location is Georgetown.

I think that after this gathering is over, the subject of the Friday evening when ozstamps is in town may be raised.

I definitely cast a vote for 25 or 26.

As usual you are so extremely helpful :p

(How was the eclipse? - gotta hear all about it at the HH)

Okay, okay. I read further.

While I have no problem with a Happy Hour at Georgetown on a Friday, I'm sure the group would like sitting/standing room. On Fridays and Saturdays in Georgetown, we are *literally* line out the door most of the day, with a break between midnight and 2 am.

Hmmm....coming from Northeast Baltimore, the maps/directions sites peg this as a 90 minute trip at least. Any thoughts on how to cut that down to anything less than a 3-hour roundtrip?

Fly down and parachute.

Metro into DC - not sure it'd be a timesaver but it would sure save on the frustration levels. You can walk over from Foggy Bottom or catch a ride with someone inside the city ... this is a surprise I know, but you really don't live around the corner, and that combined with DC area traffic equals time to get anywhere in this area. You need to get those Baltimore folks together so you don't have to hike down for your FT fix all the time (but you're welcome whenever you do make the trip).

Hi ya'll. I am back from the MIA list.

Please put us down (me and the mister) for the 26th. Or the 25th if that is what we end up doing.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. :)
