I dropped in on this earlier diary trying to organize an end-of-the-year-as-we-know-it gettogether for the DC oblast of Kossackstan. Having met but one of our denizens in the fleisch (howdy Nick) I thought it might be worth toodling down the BWPkwy to pay too much to park & drink & nosh...
Then I saw Answer Guy's note pining for a similar insurrection in Charm City aka Bawlmer & I thought,
Some Kossacks post things that they hope for, & say 'Why not?'--but I see things that could happen & say, 'Oh hell yeah!'
So here's the question: Do we, within commuting distance of the Inner Horror & the USS Energy Group Namesake, have enough fellow Kossacks interested in a gettogether to make a quorum? A minyan? A 43-person Squamish team? (Boy, am I dating myself with that one....)
Eh bien, my suite, come with me to the Cash Bar...below the fold...
Unlike our neighbors in the Great-Nonstate-of-Deecee, let's get this one done in one swell foop, hm? Date, time, place usw.
My preferential date is Friday, December 29. We oughta have our pick of places because NO ONE has parties in the Tweenweek (except for one friend who throws his on Saturday).
Place? Depends on whether we'll have enough to rent a hall. (Dream on.) If not I vote for J. Patrick's Pub in Locust Point--best Guinness in town, usually good Irish music, reasonable pubgrub, & JP could use the bidniz.
Time? Make it 7ish if we want the place mostly to ourselves, 8 otherwise (at JP's music starts at 9 PM Irish time, i.e. about 9:45...)
So let's hear your thoughts, Baltimorons & fellow-revelers! If folks want to do supper instead, or go somewhere else, or do somthing else, let's thrash it out. Let the flames begin!
