I have purposefully not eaten anyhting at all so far today in mouth-water expectation of the glorious calorie overload to come.

Can't wait to see you guys tonight!

peace,

PizzaMan - THANK YOU!!! It was a FANTASTIC evening!

PS - Love the little coke bottles!

Thanks again, Pizzaman - now that you've met some local FT'ers I hope we see you at some other events soon.

Best wishes for your pending new arrival.

What a great time... thank you, Pizzaman, for hosting and providing the great selection of wines to taste! ^ ^ ^ :)

Pizzaman rocks. ^ ^ ^ Many thanks to you and your staff at 5 guys for a great time. There were only 4 of us left when they closed at 11 pm. It was great to meet a fellow wine fan. Your wine selections were top notch, including the long island red which your deli actually sells. Well, the Ridge Pagani Ranch tasted like sucking bad vodka thru a prune, but that’s another story. This DC happy hour will definitely go into the history books. Congrats upon your pending bundle of joy.

a great night seeing everyone... maybe we'll have to frequent Five Guys again.... I'm still full! ... and I think someone need to change his handle to Burgerman

Let me add my voice to the chorus, Pizzaman, and thank you for your hospitality.

mwp2paris was right: the DC Happy Hour group is terrific! Good people, good food, and good tips about information I missed on the FlyTalk boards. Thanks to everyone I met for welcoming me to my first DC-area event -- it won't be my last! It's always good to be able to put names and faces together with handles -- just promise me there's no test at the next event I attend to see how much I retained.

Pizzaman was an outstanding and generous host! ^ Thank you very much!!

A good time was certainly had by all, most certainly including me :)

Ahhh, wish I could have joined all of you. Sadly, I've not been in town for the past three or four DC get-togethers. :(

Who would have dreamed of a vertical tasting of baby Opus at a burger place? :cool: Anyone who missed this one should be kicking themselves in the pants. (Now there's an image to wrap your mind around.)

Anyhoo, Pizzaman, it was great meeting you. I had a had a great time, met some interesting DC-FT newbies and hung around with some old friends.

Well done. ^ We'll split a bottle of Malbec if you make it to BsAs in September. :)

Pizzaman Apr 27, 2006 7:53 am

Very happy to have hosted everyone!
 
I had a great time meeting everyone, and playing guest bartender for the evening. :)

Still not sure why I let nor4 sneak out with the remainder of the 95 Sterling Cab, but here's hoping it doesn't go to waste. :D

While I'm sure I'll make it out to other happy hours in the future, and pop in on some of the out-of-towners, the Georgetown Five Guys is always available as a location if we want to revisit.
