    Just make sure you don't move again without me knowing. It's a big inconvenience.

      They're not great for internet dorks grabbing drinks . Would you be open to a rerun at Fox and Hounds or the 17th Gayborhood again? Much more friendly for conversations. Would be a good exercise for Mr. Fun to try to navigate via metro and foot.

        If it is the weekend of October 18, November 1, or some later time in November/December I might be able to make it. I am actually right now thinking of skipping October 18, and only going up the weekend of November 1.

          Sure, I'd be open.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

            Damn. Somehow I missed this thread. I'm booked for dinner Saturday night, but would probably be free 10-ish. If you guys think you'll go that late, I'll try to swing by.

              How late is dinner? I don't know about you guys, but I would prefer late afternoon drinks to evening drinks.

                I probably can't be there until 7:30 to 8:00-ish.

                Of course, y'all can start without me.

                    Let's get this thing decided. 8 PM at Fox and Hounds on 17th Street? If it's warm enough, we'll be outside. Is everybody 21+ or do we have minors?

                    Roughly a 3 block walk from DuPont Circle metro station, North entrance.

                    Rufus: I'm guessing that we will still be there at 10 PM. We can exchange cell phone numbers and you can call to make sure.

                      That's literally around the corner from my apartment, but my Saturday plans are evolving and may run later than 10. I'll just swing by at the end of the evening regardless; it's not like it's out of the way.

                          No, this is the 11th -- i.e., this Saturday evening.

                          At least that's the assumption I was working under.

                            Ah, in that case have fun without me.

                              Fox & Houds sounds good to me. I just got Internet access again at a public library in Silver Spring.

                              I won't have Internet at my apartment until Oct. 18. I can send my cell phone number to DanS or Timexwatch in case anything changes.

                                I'm confused also- is this tomorrow or next week? Because it would probably be easier on all to do next week. Anyone else agree?
