Opening happy hour for Freezing Saddles 2016

[cvcalhoun]

Is anyone organizing the initial happy hour for Freezing Saddles 2016? No, I’m not volunteering to do it; I’ve already been abused enough over the registration forms. But I’d like to get it onto my calendar. I don’t think I’ve managed to get to one yet, and it’s about time!

ETA: Alas, I’m preserving my record of never showing up to one. I’m on a business trip to Arkansas that day (yeah, second prize was two trips to Arkansas!), and won’t get back until just after it ends. But the rest of you have fun–and thanks to the intrepid BAFS2016HHPC that organized this!

I plan to be there, with very sincere thanks to the awesome new happy hour volunteers!

I work Thursday evenings, so I’m out. Perhaps Rockford will be my emissary.

[Rockford10]

I’m a maybe. Can I call it Chadwicks though? Mr. Smiths is the place on M.

We’ve finally broken the stranglehold of the NoVa Mafia! Next up, renaming BAFS something more inclusive like BMoCoFS

I’m in (and honestly after attending a few HH’s in Shirlington I probably wouldn’t have gone that far out again).

I’m going to try and make it, but I won’t be able to stay too long, as I have a work event further downtown at 7pm that night. If I’m able to arrive by bike, it’ll be a CaBi from Rosslyn.

Yippee, I will definitely be there! Thanks for organizing!

BTW, Rockford10. I was also confused by the Chadwick’s/Mr. Smith’s thing, but apparently while we were too busy cycling back in 2014 to notice, Mr. Smith’s bought out that Chadwick’s location under Whitehurst Freeway.

I’ll be there.

Sadly, I will be in Los Angeles visiting my sister. I will try to take a ride or two in the bitter cold.

That said, I will need someone trustworthy to vend the ankle bands. And someone to announce my two pre-FS Pointless Prizes.

I plan to attend, especially since Steve O won’t be there. Can’t have more than one Steve at the same time.

“The place on M” has now moved to what was formerly Chadwick’s.

I will neither confirm nor deny that someone from Montgomery County may have proposed the new location.

Wait… didn’t you bribe me to come with the promise of finally presenting the “guess consularrider’s departure date” prize? You sneaky bugger. Regardless, I plan to attend unless my new TBB (tiny-baby-boss) objects.

I’ll be there!

[TriGirlSara]

I will also be there! And thank you for picking a DC location.

I should be there. I also expect to bike from VA and would be happy to join a caravan home.
