It has only taken me a month and a half, but we have a time, place and a date for the first ever Washcycle happy hour, celebrating five years of snarkily insulting people from neighborhood listserves and habitually misspelling simple terms. If you've ever wanted to know which commenters have facial hair and which don't, this is your chance.
The happy hour will be Thursday, November 18th at the H Street Country Club from 6-8pm.
I chose H Street because there has been a lot of bike parking installed lately along H Street, it is in the Ward of bike-friendly CM Tommy Wells and it's the kind of place that is hard to get to by Metro - making it an ideal area to bike to. Also, it is near my house.
So, please come. I have leftover BikeArlington SWAG to give away and the Mrs. says I have to move that stuff out of the house. Also, if you entered the Banner Contest, I owe you beer (or other beverages).
I look forward to meeting you all and arguing with you about the merits of bike lanes until we get thrown out.
If you plan to attend, let me know in the comments so that I can give the management an idea of how many we'll be.

Sorry that I'll have to miss it. Will be on a plane that day...
I have to say that was a good choice of venue considering the snarky remark about "misspelling simple terms."
The website of the H Street CC reads:
"Pre Fixe Sundays"
I can only presume this is supposed to be "prix fixe"...

Put me down for "maybe." Congrats on the five years and keep up the good work!

Country club, eh?...snob! ;)
Nice choice--they have a pretty decent draft selection. I'll be there.

I will leave my stronghold in the Palisades and attend.

Might as well show up, I suppose =)

i'll be there, even though it will undoubtedly keep me out well past my bedtime

Personally, as far as beer goes, I'd have preferred Biergarten Haus (7 doors down from HStCC). But I'll take what I can get.

There's a distinct possibility of my attendance, however it will be early and brief (PTA Meeting).
I look forward to meeting other WashCycle regulars.

I regret that I can't make it. Instead of a beer, please accept this tribute to Washcycle on its 5th anniv.:

All right, I realize that a beer would have been much better.
Congratulations, and keep ridin' and writin'!!!
