It's Past The All-Star Break
« on: July 16, 2010, 04:11:47 pm »
...and the Houston contingent hasn't hung out except on OD.  Anybody want to go to Griff's next Wednesday for a happy hour (or three)?

I'd love to go, but I don't know if I'm willing to take the afternoon off of work.

Allow me to clarify: meet there after work, around 6ish.

Also, Limey: wear pants or stay home.

Okay, I clearly suck as an organizer.  Anybody got a time in the next week or three that works well?

The next Wednesday evening away game isn't until August 4th (and I have plans for that evening already, not that it necessarily matters).  We could always try to meet on a Tuesday night instead.

And Tuesday is steak night at Griff's.

Now you see that...that right there...that's funny.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I think it was Limey.  Like I have the authority to decide anything.

It seems like there is going to be a party at Griff's.

Tuesday and Wednesday are out for me. Also, Griff's is nowhere near Austin, so that's an issue. And I can't do first pitch, for religious reasons.

If we did one in Austin, could you show up for the second pitch?
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

Yes.  You are here.  Or there.  Does it really matter?

According to the bylaws, that appears to be just fine.

FTR, the only reason it was Wednesdays was because that was the day of the Astroline broadcasts.  I'm not married to it.

Fuck it.  I'll be there, eating a steak, drinking beer.  If anybody wants to join, they are more than welcome to.  In fact, I will happily buy a shot for any SnS'er.

So is it Grif's, Griff's or Griffon's?

What time are you getting there, Bench?  I've got plans at 7:30, but I could hang out until then.
