Of those sticking around for Sunday night, would any of you be interested in dining in the Tabard's garden patio (here's a look at a sample dinner menu)and then heading upstairs for drinks, conversation, and whatnot?
Sounds lovely. I’m in, regardless
Well - does anyone play pool? 9-ball to be specific, but really, any form of pool? And if yes, is there a pool parlour anywhere nearby for an outing? Because damn, do I miss 9-ball.
There are a few pool places in town. There’s a Scottish pub near the hotel that has a pool table. And darts, for those who like that sort of thing :)
I'll be on the hunt for a glass of single malt older that me, but I don't think I could afford to buy an entire round of that. I'd happily do a round of 14 year Oban or similar though.
Scottish. Bar.
I love pool, even though I can really suck at it. It's weird, though -- other times, I am en fuego. It's Random Pool Skill.
Also like darts, at which I also suck.
And then there'll be the requisite fencing....
Me + hand-eye coordination: funny for everyone else. I have no skills, at anything. Though I don't mind being the person who holds the beer and talks to the people not currently playing/shooting.
Heh. I didn't even notice the numberslut. Woo.
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGGGGHHHHHHTTTYYYYY!
Heh. I don't really play darts, I just love the scorekeeping in the pro game. And the pinting. No pool skills either.
Speaking of single malts, has anyone tried the 15 year old Glenfiddich Cuban Reserve, the one aged in rum casks instead of sherry casks? I gather it is all controversial and stuff.
I have no skills, at anything. Though I don't mind being the person who holds the beer and talks to the people not currently playing/shooting.
I am SA and I have lots of practice, because Brendon is very much with the eye/hand coordination and sports skilz. He plays on a pool league and loves darts. I suck mightily at both but cheer well.
Playing pool at the first F2F. Or just *acting* like they're playing pool....
Let me check one more time, b/c Orbitz is offering me a really good fare: is it more convenient to fly into Dulles, or National?
I am insanely erratic at both pool and darts (I specialize in 95% suckage, including sinking the 8-ball with my first shot and missing the dartboard altogether, and 5% flukey, accidentally brilliant shots and throws that make the actual experts weep and gnash their teeth with envy) but I would happily offer my mostly-suckage up for general Buffista mockery (though since we're only coming in Saturday afternoon I guess it'd only be possible during the prom, if, say, Teppy needed a break from the roomful of people or something).
And I realize that I am sadly lacking in Goth, but I would love to wear something decadent and drink a glass of proper absinthe with Matt.
I hate and suck at pool, but I will happily drink and throw darts. Will also drink absinthe.
