Beer and Pool in DC

July 16, 2007 11:40 AM

Turtlegirl and I will be in DC this weekend and will be hanging out at Atomic Billiards in Cleveland Park on Friday, July 20, from about 6 p.m. Drop by if you are interested in grabbing a few beers or getting your ass kicked on the pool table.

I have wanted to meet this Terrapin person, so possibly count me in. It is the first day of vacation and I am going reasonably incognito.

parmanparman: hope you can make it.

not sure why you would want to meet little old me, except to see if the lies MrMoonPie has told are true or not!

I tell only true lies. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be at the meetup, though.

Ever notice how terrapin and I are never in the same place at the same time? Evil twins, I tell you.

I would love to meet up, and to get my ass kicked at pool, but I have moved. If there's ever a meetup in the Virgin Islands, I promise I will make it there.

Argh! This weekend I'm in a wedding. Rematch?

anotherpanacea: we usually get back to DC once a year. Next time.

I read "turtlegirl" as "tubgirl" and I was momentarily very shocked that you knew a celebrity of that stature.

Too bad -- no "Mefi's Own Tubgirl"

I'm not going unless someone promises volcanic diarreah.

Everyone not going out for beer and trivia night tonight ought to come to the Nat's game. Look for me. I'll be wearing my MetaFilter shirt, which is surely bright enough to be picked out among tens of thousands of people.

Well we only had about 12,000 show up last night. If you act all crazy maybe you can get the shirt on the jumbotron.

Fun game, despite the loss. Several homers and double plays! No other Mefites that I saw.

NortonDC, where do you go for beer and trivia?
posted by inigo2 at 1:47 PM on July 18, 2007

Beer specials and happy hour from 4-8 on Friday? Oh heck yeah. I'll see you guys there. Thanks for organizing, terrapin and Turtlegirl. (aww.)

Oh, that's an occasional thing at Mad Hatter. But it's all about the company, not the bar. Other than the occasional round of free bacon beer, Mad Hatter hosts the hotness more than it is the hotness.

Something has come up for me that evening, but hopefully next time.

I and the wife will be there.

Looking forward to meeting you juliplease. If you have trouble finding me and turtlegirl, ask the bartender for Rick or Sarah.

See you tonight brownpau!

Damnit, I'm not going to make it. An old friend is in town at the last minute. This is 0 for 2 meetups since I moved here, I am sorry to say. Thank you again for organizing and have fun!
