Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just a short note to report on the HH at FF last Friday. I would say that about 10 of us showed up. A whole bunch of Kimpton Hotels schlubs were hogging the bar area so we took over the sofa section in the lounge. Thanks to Porcupine who got there early and comandeered the sofa. Great to see Liz back at work. Visit the FF thread for more. After we split up, several of us went to Bombay Curry Company in Del Ray for dinner and a group went off to Ray's the Steaks. Thanks to Michael Landrum for fitting them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfoodie Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 A few of us are going to go to Bistro Lepic's Wine Bar for happy hour today if anyone is interested in going. They have good deals with 20% off all bottles of wine and a free wine tasting from 6 PM to 8 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm on the fence. I may be heading up to Juste Lounge in Bethesda to shake my groove thang, which would be consistent with the diet I'm on for the first time in my life (my clothes don't fit!!!!) because you people, you dr.com people, are so damn fun to hang out with (and eat with and drink with).

MelGold Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Sorry, kids. I feel like wasting 104 minutes of my life with a tub of buttered popcorn, a drink and X-Men 3...hopefully it isn't as bad as the critics are all saying!

Barbara Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I figger if we stay home because of the weather, we won't get a drop of rain and I will have to water by hand tomorrow.

jparrott Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 If it's Tuesday, it must be Birreria Paradiso. Unless it's Bourbon. Or perhaps it's (in the inimitable words of my four-year-old niece) "Bofum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparrott Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The first BP recon happy hour is tonight, from 5:30 or whenever I-66 and my day job lets me get there, until we get over our laziness to realize we've started to order full-price beers and decamp.

crackers Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 There’s a big cardboard box sitting in my foyer with 39 38 quite spiffy picnic t-shirts with your donrockwell’s name on them. I would love to be able to distribute them on Friday at Happy Hour before the picnic. You all figure out when and where, and I’ll be there. And did you know that we can enter a group photograph of us wearing our spiffy t-shirts into a contest by the company that made them, for a chance to win a $100 prize? That would buy a lot of party hats (or maybe a pair of decent chaps for Al Dente, or some actual artwork for the walls at Rays the Steaks, or some new disguises for Rocks, or ???)

DonRocks Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Absolutely, thanks for the reminder. We will have a donation jar at the picnic to help defray the $135 reservation fee. Nah, don't bother. Just leave your server an extra dollar next time you're out at a restaurant. It all works out in the end. Cheers, Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
