Put me down as a maybe. I don’t have any plans made for March, but I’m keeping it open in case **Anniz** and I plan something.

Besides, if we have to get our cars outta there by 9, that’s still _plenty_ o’time for green beer.

That was practically a simulpost - me bumping your old thread, and you starting this one. 🙂

Consider the link updated.

Sign me up as a maybe as well. I think I’m free that day but will have to check calendar to make sure.

Where’s it going to be held again?

I’m still a maybe. What area of DC do you live in again? If it’s less than an hour away, I’ll be there (I might carpool with wierddave if it’s farther).

I’ll request off work Saturday and keep you updated! 🙂

BTW: If the condo gets too crowded, we could go invade the 7-corners Bennigan’s.

ARGH! Why must these things always happen in DC? I live in Baltimore, but I don’t have a car so I can’t get to DC. Stupid lack of stupid transportation!!

Stella, why not host a Dopefest at the Inner Harbor in April to get everyone’s mind off their taxes? Or a way to spend their refund, for that matter. 🙂

“Call me a cab.”

“OK, you’re a cab.”

Consider me a strong possibility.

And, a little more shockingly, [sub]quietgirldownthehall also wants to come.[/sub]

But we can’t say that too often or she might be scared away. 😉

If the weather’s nice, we could go to the park next to the complex. The park has a playground, so kids would be quite welcome to join us. The park also has a covering over 5 (IIRC) picnic tables;even if the weather’s not so nice, we could still hang out over there. This would be preferable because we’re going to have a packed condo if everyone on the guest list shows up.

Forgot to add Bluemonchichi. If you & QuickSilver want to join us at the park, you can get there from Columbia Pike by taking Dinwiddie Street all the way up the hill. Both the park and our complex is on the right. One of the other residents owns a white Chevy station wagon, which is usually parked at the lot entrance.
