Diceman Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Might be able to make it. I live on the other side of the beltway, but if I can get a kitchen pass, I'd love to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessRobinson Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Jake, I live less than two miles from the proposed meeting place, Grevey's Sports Bar. I feel that it is my honor-bound duty to accept your offer of general CM chatter (and of course a free beer). I'll be the tall guy with dark circles under his eyes from late-night PBEMing. I look forward to seeing you there! Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted September 9, 2001 Author Share Posted September 9, 2001 Very cool. We will look forward to seeing Jess and hope Diceman can make it. It's a shame James Bailey can't make it because he actually knows a lot of stuff. We'll keep him in the loop. Anyone else?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 I'm in Texas and would love to come - really but wasn't invited but afraid couldn't come if I had been but sounds like fun! You guys enjoy and don't talk bad about others from this forum. We could have something like this in Texas but ofcourse Texas is so so big that it would take weeks to get to a central location so that's out.

Isn't the 'Pool located in a trans-dimensional warp under DC and eagerly feeding off the pain, suffering, greed, sex, lies and videotape that DC is overflowing with?

I just may show up, since having you buy me a drink might be almost as painful for you as having to accept a free drink from you will be for me. I'd better go now, I feel like I'm channeling mensch.

WWB Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Well, I think I could make it. Even though the places will require me to violate my normal rule of never going outside the Beltway except by plane. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Panzer Boxb Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Whilst I for one would enjoy the company, the location goes against the laws of physics. I'll keep lurking, and if by chance metro is in my future on said date the honorable Hartwood HillBillies of VA, that fine commonwealth shall be present. I honestly don't know how people can deal with the beltway, any area these daze...... -Mike Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWB<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> WWB, You wouldn't have to violate your rule by very much - Grevey's is about 6 feet outside the Beltway. Hopefully we can sit outside and catch the fragance of an overturned and burning gasoline tanker on the inner loop. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlow Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 WooHoo. FREE BEER. I'll definitely be there if for no other reason than to gloat in person about my recent MAJOR VICTORY over Lawyer's Legaltruppen. Than and to celebrate a new job outside the beltway. No more downtown commute for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lawyer: Where? -- Grevey's sports bar in the Yorktowne Center shopping center. Located right off the Beltway at the corner of Rt. 50 and Gallows Road in Virginia. Yorktowne Center is about one half mile from the Dunn Loring Metro station on the Orange Line. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Unless something comes up I should be able to stop by at least for a little while -- I work just a few miles west of there. Nice to let the traffic die down before I make that long, hard drive back across the Potomac. If I'm heading east on 50 towards DC, I want to go left on Gallows (taking the overpass), right? If you can bump this thread on Friday, that'd probably dramatically increase the odds I'll see it and remember to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriarty Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Lawyer, (bolding to denote 'Pool status), we'll expect a full AAR. You should take this show on the road ... to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted September 11, 2001 Author Share Posted September 11, 2001 L Tankersley You are correct. Coming down Rt. 50 heading toward Washington, you would go up the ramp on the overpass and turn left. Yorktowne Plaza and Grevey's are staring you in the face as soon as you turn. JessRobinson If we are indeed fortunate enough to sit outside at Grevey's, the outdoor bar is right on the parking lot so we can gaze at cars and trucks galore. Any spill or wreck on the Beltway is just icing on the cake. Hey, I'm a sensitive guy who thinks about the nice touches like that. Moriarty You think I'm dumb enough to take on all the hard drinkers in Chicago?? Actually, I am. I have a business convention in Chicago early in December, so maybe we can pull a joint get-together downtown then. Agua Perdido We planned to hold the beerfest downtown, but decided against it in order to irritate you. Who luvs ya, baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
