Mkmound Invades Baltimore!

MkMnd, hit me up if you get caught sans transport from DC to Bal'more. I could prolly manage ya that.

**mkmound** · 1st August 06, 01:39 PM

Want to shoot for Wednesday night, then? I can come on down to DC since y'all are down that direction.

Scotty, thanks for your offer . . . I may take you up on it.

GlassMan? Any others in the area??

Plans at this point . . . best deal was to fly into Washington Reagan (DCA) rather than BWI:

Sunday, Aug. 13 -- arrive about 5:00 PM, will be renting a car.

Available to meet up with y'all Sunday, Monday, Wed., Thursday evenings.

Return Friday afternoon.

Let me know when and where . . .

Regards,
Mark

Randy, when you check this, ring me up and lemme know plans.

MkM, coolies. PM me if you end up needing transport, but beware: I only check once, maybe twice, a day.

Looking forward to this. Maybe this would be a good time to see the inner harbour and the aquarium in Bal'more?

Ooops. Forgot. Randy, is Dave from Bal. back from NYC yet and are there any pubs up his way? And how about GlassMan? Isn't he in that direction?

Tourista stuff

Mick O’Shea’s Irish Pub & Restaurant has the stamp of approval from Big Dave.

Glassman is living in NOVA

Hows Thursday sound?

MIght check with Schultz for other ideas.

Randy,

Thanks for the links . . . Aquarium might be a possibility -- quick look at their site, it looks like they're open until 8:00 PM and they have some discounts for getting tickets later in the day.

I noticed that the Aquarium has an exhibit called "Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes" . . . anyone heard from Graham lately? :rolleyes:

Thursday could work for me also.

I may possibly be interested in this depending on what night and location. If it ends up being in Balt. area, I only live about an hour from downtown (York, PA area.) So I will be following the plans until they are finalized.

I'm over in Northern Virginia so I'd love to get in on some visiting and pub-crawling action! There's also the live singing down at Murphy's Irish Pub in Old-Town Alexandria, the 4 Provinces in Cleveland Park & Falls Church as well as several other okay little pubs.

Hi GlassMan, sounds good!

To all the Maryland and N. VA folks . . . at this point I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights . . . but I'd like to go ahead and at least pencil in which night and locations, especially if it's Monday . . . I won't have much online access on Sunday and Monday. I will have a rental car, so I'll have some flexibility on M / W / Th.

Since you (collectively) know the territory better than I do, I'll rely on your recommendations.

I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as we can work out!!

Mark
