Forum Happy Hour @ Jay’s Saloon, THIS Wed (June 8th), 6pm

[Mark Blacknell]

As we sorted out in the previous thread, there’s an informal forum happy hour going on at Jay’s Saloon at 6pm on Wednesday. The address is 3114 10th Street North, Arlington, VA 22201, and it’s easily accessible by bike, Metro (Clarendon), or car.

I’ll probably get there a little before six to see if I can’t start snatching up a few outdoor tables. I imagine that the group will ebb and flow over a couple of hours, so no worries if you can’t show until 7.

If anyone has any questions, post ’em here. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Never been to the Ballroom, that’s why I wanted to take this chance to try it out. But maybe the hottest day of the year isn’t the best day anyway.

I spent some time with a crowd that hung out at the Ballroom six or seven years ago. On a nice day the roof is nice until it gets too crowded, but that happens quickly, and it goes downhill fast.

I can’t make happy hour today, but I do love happy hour, and will make it to one as soon as I can.

Nice to meet you Petunia. I’m a Cherry Blossom.

Perfect answer, by the way.

Have a good one.

There’s plenty of rooftop these days – Whitlow’s, Eventide (never been up there, though- need to fix that), and the cleverly named Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill (it’s a rather curious space, from the outside, but I kinda dig it once inside).

There will definitely be another one, and we’ll move it around. (It’s going to be far away for CCrew no matter what, though . . . )

I think I’m going to go drown my tears in a beer, CCrew. Right now, in fact.

(I’ll be there around 5:30, folks. Looking forward to seeing everyone.)
