Fall Festivus in DC

**Tippster** · 09-27-2005, 07:01 AM

It is time... time to see our Friends... time to listen to some live Bluegrass... time to eat some chili... time to drink some libations and celebrate the seasons' change.

It is time for a Fall Festivus.

So we hope you'll join us on 10/15 at 5:00pm in checkin' out the fabulous sounds of "Flyin' Blind," eatin' some Hard Times Chilis (yes, even Vegetarian) with all the fixins, and drinkin' some fine beer/wine. Kids are welcome, as we'll provide trustworthy supervision whilst the parents indulge.

Feel free to contribute something sweet (besides yourselves) and possibly something to ward off the impending Winter's chill.

If you can join us please PM me for directions to our backyard, phone number, and for info on a block of hotel rooms we have reserved should you need one!

Mr. and Mrs. Snowslider are there. Can we bring anything?

**truth** · 09-27-2005, 07:42 AM

No feats of strength?

The Feats of Strength

This is the time during the celebration where the head of the family tests his strength against one lucky person. Festivus is not over until the head of the family is pinned. You are allowed to decline only if you have something to do instead.

I may be in.

Truth....

Way to ruin the denouement. You were probably the one who ran out of the theater after "The Empire Strikes Back" shouting "Darth Vader is Luke's Father!!!"

My literary steeze can't be contained.

We'll be there, looking forward to the "feats of strength" portion of the evening for sure.

Goddammit. I see your "Quote" finger isn't gimpy!

Also: maybe not everyone has seen the Crying game. I didn't want to ruin it.....

If you tell me that there's something like ground up Chinese immigrants in the Texas Chili I will find you and hurt you.

Rumor has it that they add butterfly sperm.

**Big E** · 09-27-2005, 08:57 AM

Damn! I'm out, got a wedding to attend up in Bawlmer.

Airing of grievances should be good as well. "I've got a lot of problems with you people!"

In all honesty it is pretty sick how they make it... they scoop all the fat out of the other chilis let it cool into a gel and then dump the whole 5 gallon bucket of fat into the texas chili.... but thats why it has the best flavor

Bump for those Mid-Atlantic area maggots who don't check the board as often as they SHOULD....

Erm - guilty, but I was already on the guest list! On a side note, the guy's computer that I'm fixing either keeps busting ass, or he just smells THAT fucking bad.

Sounds like fun!

Put me down for a solid maybe!

Careful, be sure it's not permanent pencil. That stuff is a bitch to erase.

Looking forward to meeting mags and listening to bluegrass. As long as Canada doesn't give me too much trouble getting through, I will be there. Have the Absinthe ready!

**The General** · 09-29-2005, 04:10 PM

Well, I'm out.... moving to milwaukee of all places. Got a job, who'dathought.

Class starts on the 17th, Woot! Woot!

**daPig** · 09-29-2005, 07:25 PM

I may be able to make it if you dont mind a 50 post JONG in your midst!

Or I may be on a camping MTB trip.

The weather will most likely decide for me.
