I’ll be there. Can you promise snow like last time?

Wheel get to show off our new Festivus Gifts! Do you think Santy Claus will bring me that new light I’m asking for? One as bright as Consular’s??

It still didn’t stop someone from turning right across his path at the W&OD crossing of George Mason.

I’ll never forget hearing about your Festivus wish list last year. Something about chains, whips, sheep and lube. What???! Or maybe it was a chain whip, anything Merino and chain lube. Something like that.

Count me in!

Whee! This one doesn’t conflict with either my usual New Year’s celebration or the rehearsals for Julius Caesar, so I’m in!

Thanks for setting this up, Kathy! I’m looking forward to it. About the golden nugget… Will that go to the rider who rides the most miles on Jan 1 or the rider with the longest ride on Jan 1? Last year I thought it was to be the former but I was wrong. :p

Looking forward to the third year of frivolity and idiocy. I’ll be there.

[Sunyata]

I “should” be there. I have an appointment in Richmond at 2:00, but should be back in time to grab my bike and ride across the bridge by six.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone!

[sethpo]

I’m in.

[Harry Meatmotor]

IN!

[TriGirlSara]

I’ll be at the happy hour too (my first). It will be a pretty decent ride back to my place in Woodley Park afterwards, but on the plus side, I will rack up some additional miles for my Freezing Saddles team!

I hope to be there, and my wife (shall I call her Queen of the Mark on this forum?) may come too.

For future events, the Highline RXR bar/restaurant is scheduled to open soon in Crystal City, in the former Bailey’s Pub & Grille space. Fortunately, they will not allow smoking in the new bar (unlike at Bailey’s, which is why I never went there, and apparently the smoking scared away enough people in general for them to go bankrupt). This is above McCormick & Schmick’s on Crystal Drive, just a block or two from the MVT connector and the Water Park.

I don’t know what the new place will look like. They will have TVs too, but I hope it’s not like Buffalo Wild Wings. They will have bar games like table shuffleboard, mini-basketball hoops and other games like they have at Penn Social and other bars (owned by the same group). They also plan to have live music on weekends, and open mic nights, solo performers, karaoke, etc. on other nights, depending on the permit situation.

Looks interesting enough to add to the general mix of happy hour bars, maybe.

(I’m not sure I’ll make this happy hour. Plus, I’m not signing up for Freezing Saddles. I’m just trespassing on this thread.)

I should be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
