Any of you DC-area Outsporters wanna have a get-together the Wednesday night before Pride? William1865 has some Big Beer Cup ideas, CPT Doom has tales from the conference, and Gamecock...well, he and I are starving from a lack of football.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

DAMNIT! I'm coming into town on a Thursday!! Oh well.

Unfortunately, I'm booked on a support-the-spouse mission on Thursday. If I even try to change it, I'm toast. frown

I would love a Wednesday get together. I am actually heading out of town on Thurs the 10th, for my 15th college reunion (you will all be hanging out with cool gay people, I will be with Muffy, Buffy, Tuffy and Stuffy at my alma mater), so Wed. night is the last chance for me to be fabulous for a while.

Come on Allen, you can change your plans for us.

I can't. My flight is booked for that Thursday. I cannot WAIT to go. I am going to have a lot of fun and relax.

I am excited to go to JRs. It's my favorite place to hang out.

Yeah, I'm down. Say when, where, etc.

Hey all,

Surprise, I'll be just getting back from my beach vacation... so I can do something festivus and everything.... just let me knwo the details...

And Jamie and Gamecock aren't the only ones football starved. I'm surviving on Arena (Go Sabercats!) and the Stanley Cup for a little longer....

but then it's a long two months.... dammit....

William, true american patriot, did we tear up JR's that one night?

What was the place that GJ was at?

Rumor has it that William can do a few beer tricks.

OK, sounds like we've got a quorum - even if it's just CPT, Wm, pittkid, and myself. I know we'll get gamecock there.

How's Cobalt again - 6:30?

You're going to Cobalt? Oh man!

Here's how my weekend went. Oy!

Well, if you twist my arm I'm sure I can be convinced to drop by....as long as the bartenders understand, of course, that under NO CONDITIONS is Jamie to be served any apple martinis. wink

eek! but... but... it may be the last time I see you guys as a single woman, and...and...what if I put a strict limit on it, like only 5.

For those of us not on the "A" list , which Wednesday are you talking about? I haven't gone to "pride" in a few years, so I am unsure what specific weekend it is. :confused:

Cattledog, you are on the Original A-list. We're talking about Wednesday, June 9.

Please come - it wouldn't be the same without you!

Thanks, GJ. wink I need to coordinate my plans with work (I've been working late!) and a certain other OutSporter, first. But for now, I give you guys a definite maybe.

Roger that GJ.

I'm planning on coming down to the Washington area by Wed. So, hopefully we both can make it. I had a great time last year meeting the DC Outsporters, and looking forward to next Wednesday's get together.

GJ - maybe I could find a "business" excuse to Amtrak it down -- what time are the festivities starting? Will CPT be wearing his vest?

mdphl - your presence is requested! Cobalt at 6:30 p.m.

Paging CPT...seems that you have a vested interest... wink

Babe this might be a mistake. MDPHL is a big drinker. Any chance of cutting out when no one is looking will be lost. Just dont him start any fights like he did in phx.

Lies -- all lies!! PF is just mad because I stung him with a comment about Stinger! And to set the record straight -- I don't drink any more than PF

Mystery over. wink

Congrats!

They've finally come out! wink

(((Mazel tov!)))

Hmmm ... are there still slots open? I would love to finally meet everyone.

Well, I do have a Brother Help Thyself meeting after the festivus, and my club is having a bar night at the Eagle, so it's a distinct possibility.

Just be sure to avoid the motorcade route for the Reagan funeral procession on Wednesday evening. I don't know if it's near Cobalt or not.

araanib, please come! It would be great to meet you!
