#1 Nice! That's walking(er...stumbling)distance from my shoebox apartment. I have a date to attend W's inaugural ball, but perhaps I'll stop by before in my tux to class up the joint.

#3 I'm only showing if Dan can get Ledeen to show. I want to catch some Perles of wisdom about the timetable for regime change in Syria and Iran.

#6 There is (or was a couple of years ago) a really cool Irish pub in Chinatown. It was supposedly moved brick-by-brick over the Atlantic. I'll try to get the name of it, it's pretty big, might be a good spot.

#7 If the fates allow, I may be in Northern Virginia at that time, and if so, I will definitely down more than a few with the lot of you. Just promise to call a cab for me (dont want to wreck the rental I'll be driving).

#8 OS, drop me or Fred a note any time you're nearby...but hope you'll come by in January!

#10 I already posted this in the O'club... I may be going to Texas between ex-mas and New Year's; if anyone's interested in any meetings or anything during that time period let me know.

#11 Don't say anything to the old lady, but I'll be there for certain.

#12 Mum's the word, Mr. D, mum's the word.

Rafael, we'll have to run it past Homeland Security, of course, and make sure that your I.C.E. registration is up-to-date, but with a one-month lead, a ladder to get you over the Friendship Fence, and a nice bouquet of flowers, it shouldn't be a problem. Insh'allah.

#13 and a nice bouquet of flowers

For the border guards??? Well ok, I'll give it a shot, but...

#14 Dang! I'm pretty sure I'll be proofreading the first round of State Budget amendments that weekend.

Wratts!

I'll keep the date on the calendar - maybe the General Assembly will get into a fight and be late with the amendments.... ;-)

If I don't make it, I'll certainly be there in spirit.

#15 Mr. D: Are you bringing Gentle?

#16 Poop! I'll be in Maine trying to get the Election Registration systems in line with HAVA requirements.

Will someone drink too much, say something very non-PC and get slapped for me? Shipman, Dotcom, Buehler, anyone?? :)

#17 You stole me thunder, Fred! That was the question I was going to ask, but I was posting a detailed missive on apathy in another article.

#18 I'll be there unless I have to work that night. I work for the White House Military Office and we get tapped for a lot of folks for this event as you can imagine.

#19 Krimeney! I take the kid to Cub Scouts, come back, find out you guys are having a party and have invited that two timing, no good scoundrel Mr. Davis. And then Fred suggests he bring that brazen hussy Gentle. Well! I hope she brings her other sugar daddy, Murat, along and they install sharia in that bar. It would serve you infidcels right!

#20 Heh. A bar that operates under sharia dicta. No fried pork rinds for you!

#21 There, there, Mrs. Davis. I’m sure it’s nothing a lawsuit couldn’t fix. ; )

Is old Mr. D up to date on all his child support obligations, alimony, palimony, conditions subsequent to a duly executed contract, or other such things? Do you need a declaratory judgment, an injunction, or will just money damages do? Remember, even if the heart balm laws are all out of favor, we can still “get ‘em!”

As for RB, it is sooooo hard “being there” for __both__ sides of a warring couple. I’m sure no harm was meant . . .

#23 That's really too bad, 'cause I wanted to hear you talk when drunk.
