Finally (sort of) figured out what's going on that week, I'm good for either date.

HA! Well now we are down to 1:1 - I guess if I don't hear from anyone else I shall have to use my executive privilege and cast the deciding ballot.

Which as of now would be for the 26th.

Polls DEFINITELY close tonight.

PS - All of you fence sitters - "I can do either or both" - just make life so difficult! Learn from OMNI will you!

I can make a decision. That's not a problem. Make it the 26th. I think us "fence sitters" are just trying to be as accomodating as possible.

Well, that's why you get paid the big bucks to make a decision

I've asked the store manager to schedule a bartender to accomodate our needs. I told him 10-15 people. Sound like a fair number?

Damn it. I opened my mouth too soon. I just had a deposition scheduled for the 26th. I'm still going to try and make it, even if that means taking a train back to DC on the 26th and going back to PHL the next morning.

My guess is 15 is on the highend. 10 is probably more realistic, although the offer of free food might be more than the FT crew can handle. That being said, the fact that I am probably not going to be able to make it will disuade an equal number to the number that will come for the free food. The net effect of all this is that 10-15 is still a good estimate.

It's my pleasure. I've *never* met another FTer, so happy to meet my first batch. Just a friendly reminder, legally I can only buy the food, I can't give all the booze away.

Hey now...I am the Flight Attendant listed in post #162 and I guess the catlayst to this whole event, I guess I shoud make my way down to Georgetown on the 26th and join ya'll?!?

I'll even bring the WN peanuts. Oh wait - you Guys have your own peanuts.

Pizzaman: on the flight, I threatened your friend that if he threw his peanuts on the floor I would have to kick his butt!

So is anyone attending this event and then flying out to the Freddies on the 27th? Hmmmm.

See you on the 26th.

You should have kicked his butt anyway!!! I'll try and get him to attend the Happy Hour so you can make good on your promise.
