Omid and I were thinking of doing HH @ the Claredon Ballroom (with the grill as a rainy day back-up) on Sept 20. Thought it would be good to get in another roof-deck HH....plus commonwealthers (as we are lovingly known) might actually show up (gasp)!
What do you guys think? This week was too short notice. Anyone want to co-host?

Leann,
Contrary to patrick's irrational hatred of VA, I think a lot of people would like to do a HH at the ballroom. That upstairs deck is always fun. We tried to go there a couple weeks ago, but it was closed for the rain. So the grill is a good backup in case it rains again. Plus good location right across from the metro.

I'll go if there is a band playing that I want to see at either of those bars. Wed are out for me due to the mistress.

My hatred of the commonwealth is in no way irrational. Please see previous discussions on how anti-gay, etc., the commonwealth is.
That said, I like the Ballroom. I've actually been seen there during other Kickball HHs. I said that I wouldn't because it was the day after the Nat's game. I said that *I* don't think I'll be up for back-to-back events like that. (And that's not to mention that this weekend is also the MSP.)

It may just be a rumor, but I heard people have journeyed to the commonwealth (for things other than Target) and made it back to the district unscathed. Plus "Weather or not Wednesdays" @ the ballroom has cheap beer....I think it's dollar drafts or something like that.... And Patrick, what about Freddie's the token gay bar with pink flamingos in the windows.

Patrick is not the only one who dislikes the commonwealth.

Always figured that Freddie's was more a trap for unsuspecting tourists from the mid-west (love watching them run away when they realize it's a gay bar....don't know how they miss the rainbow flags and decor).
Since Happy Hour is now Matt Allen approved, I guess I'll send out the e-vite....how do I get it out the captains for distribution?

You create the evite and the first 11 people you add are the team captains. In the email ask that captains send it out to their teammates. Then the captains add their teammates to the evite. You can pull a captains' list off one of Taylor's old emails or contact someone like Kimmie or Meg who has a standing list. Other than that, I'm not sure how you'd find email addies for the captains otherwise.

You'd think they'd do that unless your captain's name is glenn who just forwards you the evite email...
