In case people don't know about Doghead Fish beers, the Post's weekend section had a really good write-up. You may need to register (free) at the Post's website to view the article.

Hope to meet some new folks Tuesday!

I did not know you like shopping ... at the Mall

I will be in Annapolis all week end long (starting the 22nd till the 25th !!) any day it's good for me... I need to catch up with the missing drinks at our local Irish Pub in Annapolis.

Yes - at least I'm still planning on being there. I figure, even if nobody shows up I'll be having some good beer.

I'm going to attempt to make it. As long as things don't go completely insane at work it shouldn't be a problem.

Hmm, I would love to head up there Tuesday, especially after sampling their fine ale at places around DC, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it Tuesday. It's going to be difficult fighting my way from Suitland to Gaithersburg in time. But I'll try!

Is it going to be obvious about the mini table? Some of the people RSVP'ing I don't know (look forward to meeting though) so I want to make sure to find the group. I have never been to Dogfish before - and I know some happy hours are a bit overwhelming.

:smile:

I'll have a MINI shirt on and bring some MINI toys so it should be easy to spot. The place isn't usually too crowded on a Tuesday.

If I re-read the posts correctly, the following have expressed interest in tonight's meet-up at Doghead Fish Alehouse:

Edge
Sagworks
CmdrVimes
CSAMF
rough68fish
DeeSquare
Big_Daveoc
kgdblu

So, hopefully it will be a reasonable turnout. I know eTickt had to cancel because of a work-related trip to St. Louis (he was co-organizing tonight's get together).

I'll be getting there at 5:30 and will probably stay until 7:30-8:00, unless my wife and I are the only ones left at that point.

ACK! Too far for me! Rush hour traffic, it will take at least two hours to get there tonight.

I'm an absolute wreck. After my regular job, I went to a company client last night for some scheduled work... got started around 8:15pm, figured I'd be done at midnight...

Yep, another all nighter. I left the client at about 7:40 this morning, and fought traffic to make it home at 8:15am. Showered, and got back in the car to take it to MoS (scheduled appointment today). More traffic. MoS was busy too, didn't get out of there until 11:30am...

So basically as I write this I've hit over 30 hours straight without any sleep. But DAMMIT I'm a die hard HH fan (and a stubborn SOB), so I will still TRY to make it tonight. But I'll probably be limiting myself to one or two drinks, and an early departure so I can hit the hay early.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if I DO show, it'll probably be in my PW/B MC CVT loaner car. Quite the opposite of mine! Even the opposite in terms of JCW - it has the 18" JCW wheels, which I DON'T have. Weird, huh? On a Cooper, too. Heh.
