when are you going to be back on the bike LBK? Duece? photons i've seen riding, ready for some long rides?

****ing 10 days, at least. I'm a walking public health disaster.

Wasn't there some talk of hitting up the CM kids' BBQ tonight? I can show for that, if not the ride to Silver Spring.

It's elsewhere on the interweb, but here's the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/15/AR2006061501749.html) article that mentions us. And it really is just a mention. Maybe the dead tree version has pictures from that night?

Let's hear it for Tink this Fathers' Day!

Did anyone get the ACTUAL post with the photos that didn't make it to the interweb??

Also, maybe since there's a link in the paper to our lowly thread, someone aught to make a user-friendly list of upcoming pillages, polo outings, and whatnot?

(and... now's probably not the best time to start a new thread, what with that URL online and all)

yes, photos are in.

Chimbly- your drop-outs are on the cover of the section, you know look at this hot **** on page 5.

Amanda and I are inside on page 5. Some other people I dont know have photos in it also.

But get this, this thread, our thread has its url in on the page.

btw: anyone goingto show at "the longest day"?

please respond if you are going to be able to go, because it is a work day.

alternatively, we are can change it to the "shortest night" and have a full night pillage / ride.

so far Spud, Cm Mike, Cm Chelsea and Amy are in, we want to have a large group, it is going to be fun.

As i mentioned in the other thread, way to go Dave.
This was excellent news to get home to from Tennessee.
And then the bad news.
My new place, the one i was in for two weeks now.
Well, it was inspected while i was gone, and the firemarshall says my room can't be a bedroom since there is no second escape...since there is well, no windows.
Any way, the point is, i need a place to stay. And cheap. I was paying $350. I can pay more but you know, the cheaper the better. I'm not sure how long i have to get out.

The Fancy Beer Places of DC Pillage

hitting all the bars with the good selection of snooty european beers (with cheap options for when you're too drunk to tell the difference anyway)

so far I was thinking:
brickskeller (georgetown)
rfd (chinatown)
the saloon (u street)
cafe belga (cap hill)

any other suggestions? nw dwellers?

july 12, 7pm 14th and k. you know the drill.

you could check out L'Enfant at 18th & Florida, they have belgians.
The Reef on 18th and Bedrock Billiards on Columbia also have amazing selections.
Wonderland has quite a few schmancy taps too.

Here's three more, off the top of my head:

Birreria Paradiso, 3282 M St. NW (basement of Pizzeria Paradiso), Georgetown -good selection of Belgian beers and other fancy stuff... http://www.eatyourpizza.com/about_birreria_paradiso.html

Temperance Hall, 3634 Georgia Av. NW (just south of Princeton Pl., and about 1.5 blocks south of the Petworth Metro station), Petworth -decent (but smaller) selection of good beers... http://www.temperancehalldc.com/

The Saloon, 1207 U St. NW -good selection of Belgian and other beers

Ahoy there pirate people!!
Sorry it's taken so long, but as you can imagine, I've been busy.

I want to thank all of you who have called and stopped by to check in on Elisa and me, or just wished me luck and congratulations. It really has meant a lot ot me.

I tell you, everything seems different now.
As if a new man has been born along side his new son.
There is no hiding the joy that burst forward from my heart.

alright, so here we go, the Flickr photoset (http://www.flickr.com/photos/57138474@N00/sets/72157594173440048/)
