Anybody up for it? Maybe a little further south this time.
I'm interested. Where and when?
Hey! I was just thinking about this yesterday and wondering if we should get the ball rolling on something. Thanks!
I'd be up for something, too. I can't do this weekend (the 5th), or Christmas weekend, but other weekends work...
For folks new to the Mid-Atlantic scene....
Last year a few of us joined up in Frederick, MD for a holiday celebration brunch. Good time was had by all. Not a bike involved. Just food, drink, and laughs.
Something in the D.C. area this time??
Here it is: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...t=28068&page=8
Hopefully, this will go right to page 8, by when the event actually took place!!
I wasn't able to go last year but would like to try and join in this year!
I was up in Frederick over the weekend and was also thinking of this. My schedule's unfortunately a bit tight since I'm working every Saturday between now and Christmas, so I'll have to wait and see what day works for everyone else before I commit.
I'd be interested. I'm crazy busy between now and Christmas and have lots to do on weekends, but I think I have some flexibility in my schedule as long as it all gets done in the end.
I'll start with a date.
Sunday the 13th or Sunday the 20th.
Location?
Either date works for me.Quote:

If it's in Silver Spring, I'd have ideas. Bethesda, we could figure something out easily. Rockville, my knowledge is limited to vegan restaurants and Chipotle so I'm not much help there.
How 'bout Silver Spring on the 13th??
I wish I could join y'all! But it would require an overnight trip and I'm not up for that. Let me know if any of you head down Richmond way and I'll show you around...Have fun.
Nah, you could drive up in the morning, have lunch, visit Proteus, and drive home in the late afternoon. Piece of cake!:);)Quote:

Nah, no reason to rush a visit to Proteus (or lunch with everyone, of course). I'll do it another time.

So the 13th woudl work out well for me, I do believe! As does Silver Spring!
You also know all the Chipotle locations in NYC ;)Quote:

Ooooo, can I play, too, please?
SS has tons of places: Burmese, Ethiopian, Indian, Chinese, sushi, Red Lobster, Macaroni Grill, Panera, Austin Grill, Lebanese, Tex-Mex, Italian, seafood, and on and on and on.
Don't you just love Mandalay?Quote:

I'll be away skiing on the 13th, so can't make it. But I have no idea if I can make the 20th, that's getting close enough to christmas that I'm sure I have to go to someone's christmas party somewhere.
Enjoy! One of these days I'm going to make it to one of the group things.
Didn't you just hack up some lung tissue on a skiing trip, or is that what you're planning to do on the 13th?
Leaving on the 6th. BAck on the 16th. I'm hoping that this sore throat goes away and I don't have to hack up a lung on my ski trip. it hasn't fully developed into a cold, but my sore throat is getting a bit sorer.Quote:

I love that place. I think we should go there for our lunch on the 13th.
I just confirmed that I'll be out of town that weekend (meeting Michele on a business trip).
Have fun!
I'd love to meet up with everyone for Christmas brunch. Count me in.
So.....
Mandalay on the 13th? Or do you prefer the 20th? How about noon? 1 p.m.? If the weather is good, I'd likely do the shop ride in the a.m., so I won't be the freshest (but I'll be HUNGRY!), but I could bring a change of clothes and at least be in clean(ish) clothes.
If it's 1 or later, I'd likely go home and clean up for real. ;)
The 13th; the 20th is too close to Christmas. (Plus I wouldn't be able to make it. :D)
Mandalay is fine with me, but I hope others will weigh in.
Oy, it's going to be tough for me to do either of those days since they're the only days off I'll have after this coming Monday. If it's ok, I'm gonna have to play it by ear and give y'all a last minute RSVP.
I can make it on the 13th to Mandalay. Just let me know what time has been agreed upon -- Noon or 1:00 pm.
I vote for 1:00
I just remembered that one thing about Mandalay is they won't seat you until the whole party is present. So if we have anyone who is chronically late it might not be the best place to go.
That's why I voted 1pm.
Let's stick with it.
If you're late you have to stand outside and watch through the window while we eat.
I'll be there BEFORE 1:00 pm.
Headcount?
I'll be there, with bells on.

Unfortunately it looks like I was over-optimistic when I thought I could make it.
Have fun!!!!!!!!

Uh-oh.
Maybe we should try for the 20th?
The weather forecast for that morning is rain and sleet, something I won't drive in.
:o
Don't reschedule on my account. I expect to be working on the 19th-20th.

Don't not reschedule on account of anything I say!
