NoVa Dopers: Let's have a beer!

It’s down on my busy social calendar. :smiley:

Still planning on it.

Sorry to be late checking in, but still planning to be there. Had to cover a vacation at work so reverted to nights for a while, and can’t really post from there.

7 PM at Jimmy’s tomorrow.

It looks as though I’ll be there.

Well, it looks like I’ve too much studying to do. I hope that Kangaroo_in_Black and I can meet you all some other time.

I’m glad that most folks can still make it!

BlueKangaroo, I understand – but I have to give you a little crap for studying on a Saturday night. :stuck_out_tongue:

If I tell you it’s a combination of Biogeography, Evolutionary Mechanisms and Photography will your brain explode enough to forget how to give me crap? :wink:

I will be there. I am assuming that no one wants a ride there. Rides back are still available to Vienna Metro. (I don’t drink all that much, so don’t worry.)

Tris

:dubious:

You just made that up, didn’t you. Everybody knows Evolutionary Mechanisms grow in the spring.

We’re smart, we is. You better do better than that to pull the smoke over our leg.

:smiley:

Nah, I’ll just have to switch to giving you crap for taking 3 subjects like that simultaneously. :eek: :smiley:

Excellent … I’ll be on the lookout for a dude who looks like a cross between Santa and a biker. :wink:

Not to speak for mcott, but I believe he has his arrival covered. I also believe he might appreciate that ride back to Vienna. :slight_smile:

(and every word, a memory!

Is it just me or do I look surly in all of those pictures (Except the second-to-last one. There I just look funny.)?

It was really unfortunate that the volume on the music drowned out the great conversation but it was nice to see old friends and meet new ones.

Thanks for the pics, Tris!

That was fun. The bar was a cool neighbourhood kinda place. Interesting crowd. And the drinks were generously poured… Ow, my head!

Nice to put faces to names. Well done Mis for suggesting it. :slight_smile:

…and they said people who post to debate boards are social outcasts. Feh!

(By the way, anybody else think they ate a napkin mistaking it for one of those bright green chips they served?)

I just this moment realized I own someone a lot of money for the check.

Very embarrasing. Who paid? Email me. Humilate me on the board. But tell me who, and I can paypal the money to you.

Sheesh.

The noise really got to me.

Tris

When brownie55 didn’t show I figured he just changed his mind, but I was a little concerned about mcott’s absence … I hope you’re ok, wherever you are!

Thanks, Tris!

I look sleepy in both of the photos I’m in. :frowning: I must remember to open my eyes a little more for photos, even though I know I’m about to be blinded… :wink: Anyway, I assure you that I was not sleepy – the company was way too good for that.

Yeah, I really thought we’d be “safe” so far away from the dancefloor, but we wouldn’t have been any better off where we started out. Now I know that we should either meet earlier, or meet somewhere else.

Agreed!

Thanks. :slight_smile: And thanks to everyone who attended!

It was too loud to think! I threw in some extra but I wrote it off as a generous tip. My guess is that the bulk of your portion was picked up by UF and QS.

Thanks for bringing us together, Misnomer. Your first time meeting Dopers, you didn’t wait around, just went ahead and organized it yourself! I liked how you did that.

Sorry, I didn’t make it, it looks and reads like it was a lot of fun. I was just too dead after two days of “museuming” and the prospect of two more to go. I must say though, that Washington is a great city, and I will be back (preferably during weekdays only, and in warmer weather). If anyone ever pops up to Ottawa, post a thread or email, and I’d be glad to show you around.

Sorry you couldn’t make it, but good to know you’re alive and well. :wink:
