Grant,

Don't forget your rubber chicken...or your plume!

Cheers

I hope it's not as small as that Irish pub we sauntered into. Wasn't there a waitress there that had a mini kilt on? Dress Gordon like Improv.

I hope it is larger as well it seems like it would be, they say on the web-page that there are banquet halls upstairs so I am thinking that this pub is a wee bit more grand shall we say than the wee Irish pub we had to shoehorn ourselves into on our last visit to to Hess St.

There was a waitress in a mini kilt yes but as I recall it was not the Dress Gordon but looked similar to it.

I was thinking Hess street as that way there is no traffic to worry about and there are a few pubs on the street.

It was smaller, and much softer as well!

Looks good to me. Also looks to be very close to our hotel. Yayyy.

Ok folks...this is an unashamed BUMP. We are really looking forward to this one. Can I just confirm that we are going to "gather the rabble" on December 27th at the Gown and Gavel (which is very close to our hotel) and proceed on a pub crawl from there?

I really hope this is still on as I WANT to meet the SOKS rabble in person and to see the actual condition of the SOKS dirigible. Just to assess which side I want to be on in the next conflict.

( I also need to finalize our hotel reservations in "The Hammer".

)

Post here folks. I would really like to see this one happen.

Also I can post pics of what Grant really does with that chicken.
