Where: at the residence of RTFirefly and Mrs. Firefly, in beautiful Chesapeake Beach, MD
Where the hell is that?? It’s on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, about 30 min. south of Annapolis via MD 2, about 35 minutes from the Wilson Bridge via Beltway - MD 4 - MD 260, and about 40 minutes from downtown DC via Pennsylvania Ave (or Suitland Pkwy) - MD 4 - MD 260.
I’ll email detailed directions to those who are coming. If you’re driving and your email addy isn’t in your profile, email me.
A Halloween party? Does this mean I have to show up in costume?? Costumes are good; I’m all for them. But I don’t plan to wear one, so you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
There’ll be beer, soft drinks, burgers (including veggie burgers) and other munchies; music on the stereo (including RT’s extensive Wierd Al collection), and fun for all or your money back.
Best I can do right now is a ‘maybe’, RT. I pick up the keys to my new apartment the 26th. This means my weekend will be filled with packing, multiple trips from Burtonsville to Columbia, and waiting for various pieces of furniture to be delivered.
Yippee.
So lemme see what I have to do, and I’ll get back to ya.
RT, I am game but I will have to ask DC first. Sounds like a fun time since you are so great. And best of all we will finally meet the elusive Mrs. RTF whom I am sure will be as great as you.
Much as I would love to attend, sort of, we’re having our 9tth annual Hallowe’en party that night. There are people we only see AT IT. So…maybe next time.
Phil - you and Leigh-Anne as each other boggles the mind. But yes, I owe you a rematch on cribbage. And bring your telescope - it’s a new moon, so barring overcast, it ought to be good stargazing out here!
Sqrl - hope you and Mark can make it! And the ‘elusive Mrs. RTF’ really is my ‘better’ half!
Hamadryad - hope to meet you one of these days - I’m sure it won’t be too long 'til the next get-together!
Falcon - let me know! And maybe I can help out on Sunday, once I’ve recovered.
Boy, I really, really wish you had posted this about two days earlier, RT. We just made plans for that night, and can’t cancel.
Damn, this is the like the fourth area get-together in a row I’ve had to miss. kicks the carpet. pouts.***
Yo, phil and RTF, you two play cribbage? Well, I’ll throw this at Mrs. O and see if we can’t get some fourhand going. Will check back with the answer soon as I can.
I love Cribbage! Do you play with an exact peg out? I taught Mark to play that way recently. Perhaps we can get a good 4 hand or a few sets of three together.
The lovely Mrs. Firefly also plays cribbage. Bring your boards, everyone!
Sqrl - by ‘exact peg out’, I’m assuming you mean that, say, if you need 6 points to peg out, but your hand is worth 7 points, you don’t score any points for that hand?
I’ve never played that way, but it’s worth a try.
Jeff, sorry you can’t make it - we’ll just have to have another get-together soon for all the folks who won’t be there this time.
And now you’ve got Wierd Al’s “Gonna buy me a condo” going through my head again.
Olentzero, I’m hoping you and the missus can make it! You’re my favorite Commie bastard on the boards, and I was disappointed when you weren’t able to make the last local Dopefest.
