Zammy and I will be meeting for beer in Bethesda this Thursday, 18 August. Say, 5:30-ish. All/sundry welcome. Make your way to Flanagan's on Olde Georgetowne Roade, between the parking deck and the Woodmont Triangle intersection (where all the streets suddenly become one-way facing you).

We'll the two geeky guys waving our nerd cred all over the place. Try not to get any on you.

And don't forget that Gary's the one with the moustache

In Response to zamphir (#28822):

I swear, one of these days I'm going to find Zamphir as he sleeps and attach a moustache to his face with industrial adhesives.

And if he's very lucky, I won't plaster it in some random location.
 

In Response to gtyrrell (#28823):

Maybe I shouldn't get a hotel room for SPX, then...

Unfortunately, I'm a good 3 hours from Maryland, so I don't see myself making it. Slipping out of work at 2:30 pm to meets someone for drinks is not something I'm going to get away with.

There are slightly more than 24 regulation-sized hours to go before the SODCAPN. General directions above, or feel free to call Zamphir at home. If his wife answers, be sure to ask for "Snuggles".

Why would they do that?

"Snuggles" would already be on the phone with them.

In Response to zamphir (#28911):

It's Thursday evening--you're all probably still drinking. Forum dwellers hold their collective breath in anticipation of what may happen. The suspense! The excitement!

If only there were live feed...I went to www.sungglescam.com, but that didn't seem to be it.

In Response to Llamarama (#28923):

Probably because you spelled it wrong.

Zamphir and I are dismayed that none of you "fine" "people" showed up for the SODCAPN. There was tomfoolery, plus skylarking, and even capers. Plus moustachery. Lots and lots of moustachery.
 

In Response to gtyrrell (#28925):

I actually did come along, but I took one look at the two of you and left.

In Response to gtyrrell (#28925):

Some of us, in addition to living an hour and a half away from the planned pub, have work in the morning and are underage besides.

I'll probably be at SPX though.

In Response to tynic (#28926):

We actually tried to call you (Z has, by questionable means, obtained what he claims is your mobile number), but drat! No signal.
 

In Response to gtyrrell (#28930):

Z has, by questionable means,

I think, in fact, you're the only one who has questioned my means.

Most people question my ends.

In Response to zamphir (#28931):

I'm trying very hard not to think about your ends, Zam.
 

In Response to gtyrrell (#28932):

I'm trying very hard not to think about your ends, Zam.

...

Then...

why did you invite me to share your room at SPX...

?

In Response to gtyrrell (#28925):

Plus moustachery. Lots and lots of moustachery.

And your wife was okay with that Z?

In Response to jettaboy20 (#28983):

I'm clean shaven. Gary's the one with the moustache, and thus the only one who could participate in moustachery.

Not if one of you happened to have an extra moustache with you...
