cookiegirl Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 So here we are, only four days away from the annual "Reinforcin' o' the Stereotypes"! We need to start thinking of where we want to go. I figure, we can either go to a place with even the least little Irish association and be a part of the mob, or go to a less obvious place (Brickskeller?) and celebrate the true meaning of the holiday - getting wasted - without getting squished. What are my fellow lushes thinking? (old thread for ideas) (the washington post listings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramadas Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Brickskeller might be too expensive. It would be nice to go somewhere Irish but it'll be MOBBED!How 'bout Tequila Grill, Bottom Line (prolly packed, though), Mckayes (sp??), etc.Who else is up for taking 1/2 day off and going right after lunch!!!

sauvee88 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I love raver's rationalization..... it's too expensive - so lets take a half day and drink till we have no money left..... OR....you could go to brickskeller and drink the NONexpensive beers - Ok - so they have expensive stuff - but I recall seeing some schlitz there - would that be better for you palate???

cookiegirl Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 silly raver.I can't take a half day but I am all about going to a place that isn't necessarily Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crank47 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Yeah, the Irish places will be mad packed. How about Lucky Bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiegirl Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Originally posted by crank47 Yeah, the Irish places will be mad packed. How about Lucky Bar? Never been there, but the Post says Mondays are Latin Night. "After happy hour ends, tables are moved aside and Lucky Bar becomes a happening Latin dance club with a whole host of regulars. Free salsa and meringue lessons are offered at 8, followed by dancing to DJ Ricardo" Wonder if they would do that on St. Pat's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramadas Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 OK, not half day but at least early so we can get some semblence of seating when we get to where we're going. THAT was the rationale behind my going early! Lucky Bar is an option! But that too, I'm afraid, will be mad packed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Mexicans don't recognize any other holiday other than Cinco de Mayo. And I didn't know Zags was a DJ. He's been holding out on us! I wonder if it's Vic that's giving the salsa and merengue lessons while Zags spins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiegirl Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Interesting side note -- one of our, um, less brilliant Senators proposed this legislation yesterday. Note the date for a national day of "prayer and fasting". 1. S.CON.RES.19 : A concurrent resolution affirming the importance of a national day of prayer and fasting, and expressing the sense of Congress that March 17, 2003, should be designated as a national day of prayer and fasting.Sponsor: Sen Santorum, Rick [PA] Good luck with that.

Brilliant. I'm guessing some Irish senator will filibuster until Tuesday the 18th, at which point it'll pass and this genius will raise his hand in victory.

Wasn't it Strom Thurmond that once stood there reading a cookbook for days or is that just urban legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiegirl Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Originally posted by shadygroovedc Wasn't it Strom Thurmond that once stood there reading a cookbook for days or is that just urban legend? I don't know 'bout the cookbook but he holds the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history; he spoke against the 1957 civil rights bill for 24 hours, 18 minutes. Stand-up guy.
