Although invariably there is someone there with a flyertalk luggage tag. First time I met up with people I landed up with a luggage tag myself at Brickskeller - and the others noticed that I was looking for them (guess they hadn't drunk too much by then).
Although lately we have had reservations at a table under the name of FlyerTalk - so asking the host/hostess would direct you to the right place.

But in the end the Tigers won - aah - how sweet!

Or I may also sport a "I busted QuietLion on FullTiltPoker" shirt. Or a FlyerTalk shirt.
But you can never go wrong with a Gators shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes, hat, watch and such ...

Ask any guy in Virginia with a wad of chew in his mouth and a beat up feed co. hat on who his team is - guaranteed it won't be UVA.

BTW, I was poking fun at myself, not Hokies fans. I make that joke about UF grads all the time ...

Sorry but due to lack of interest, the poker party/get together on the 6th is cancelled.
I hope to get another one in the coming weeks if I can have enough interested parties.
See ya'll tonight at Greveys!

I'm looking less and less probable. I've got to get through these damn annual reviews. They're killing me!

Both keithguy and channa are going to be in DC on that Saturday night for a mileage run. keithguy's staying in Arlington off of Columbia Pike & channa's staying a bit further out, but he'll have a car. We were planning to meet up in the evening for drinks (9PM-ish, maybe a little earlier, maybe a little later??) either in the Ballston or Pentagon City/Row area - I'll post the details when something is finalized - however, if anyone is available & has suggestions, please post them...
Hope to see some people out on the 14th!
