DanielK Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 TODAY'S $20 TUESDAY (special Wednesday edition): 7:30p, Addis Ababa, 8233 Fenton St., Silver Spring MD Our headcount is currently 8 adults plus a Peanut, and a reservation is made under the name "Daniel". If you get there before me, try 8 different pronunciations of "Daniel", as the person who took the reservation tried all of them while trying to put the name in the book. Anyone who wants to join is always welcome. Post here or PM me for updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Dan thanks for making a reservation. Sounds like we picked up a couple more people. See you at 7:30. P.S. Don't forget to bring cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Would Bebo count as a $20 Tuesday? You could get a pasta and a glass of wine, but tax and tip might push you just a little past the $20 mark. Great idea, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catharine Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I would love a dinner in Virginia. I would have a much better shot at making it. Woodlands sounds good. Wasn't there a Lighthouse dinner planned for the Annandale location at some point (or is that wishful thinking..)? Flavors is a great idea, too. Anything after the marathon (10/29) would be fabulous.

DanielK Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I almost think we need a FAQ for the $20 Tuesdays.... The best way to have a $20 Tuesday is just to name the details, and let it catch on by itself. Want a dinner in NoVa? Great! Decide on a place, pick a day that works for you (doesn't really have to be a Tuesday), and announce it here. 99% of the time you'll get a quorum very quickly, and I'll track it here in the topic. Really, the only difference between this topic and "On a whim..." is that these are planned a week or two in advance, rather than an hour or two. Last note: it's only fair - if you are the one who posts with the place and date, you're nominally in charge. Which only really means calling the place to make a reservation if appropriate, as everything else pretty much happens here in the topic. So, fire away!

The idea was to have informal dinners with smaller groups of folks to get out and try new places as opposed to the ones that need lengthy planning. I am up for one in VA too.

Halloween = no noisy kids running up and down the aisles jostling your chair, etc. You'd better at leave some candy on the front porch, or I will personally come and toilet paper your yard. In 9 years here we have had zero trick-or-treaters. No sidewalks on this road - no safe place to walk. But I'll set some out for you if you like.

Joe H Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Halloween seems like an especially interesting evening for this. I read somewhere that next to New Year's Eve it is the most popular night to go out. Six o'clock seems like a good time to start. I wonder if Roberto will be wearing a mask in the kitchen...

Joe H Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thanks, Daniel. Tuesday, Halloween, is just conceived as an informal gathering from several of us who were there yesterday and thought we would get together again on Halloween at the bar. Nothing formal, no reservations, regular menu, regular pricing. But an especially interesting night to be out and Bebo seems like an especially interesting place on this night. Anyone who would like to show up please feel free to come. If Don would like to move this and the above posts to another thread which is more appropriate that is fine. Thanks.

You just defined what $20/Tuesday (or any day of the week) was meant to be. Granted the Dino event went slightly astray, but the idea is to have an inexpensive meal (not counting booze) by ordering off of the regular menu. You might as well add me to the list for the 14th, although I plan to get there closer to 5p as 1/2 price beers drafts are from 5-7p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
