OK, you know I’m coming but I don’t drink so that will save you one :)
I have no idea what is up with the spacing there. I tried to fix it but its being difficult.
fixed.
I’m 99 percent sure I’ll be there.
I’m in. :)
I’ll buy you a soda little friend :)
Remind me to call Dave’s, Emmy. Hoping they will reserve some space for us. Maybe I can talk him into giving me a break on some food for everyone.
Thanks Finnegan, I’m bad at posting on here. I have a post written up, but I can’t tell if its going to link to the rest of it, or post the whole thing on one page so I haven’t put it up yet.
I should be there, but I don’t drink either.
I prefer Pepsi, on ice, neither shaken or stirred. I’ll be there!
We went to Dave’s for dinner tonight. FYI when you are on the roof the adult beverages (beers) only come in 24oz. but the cost is only 2.50…You might want to bring a jacket or a sweater because it is a little breezy up there. They said they don’t take reservations but, if someone is there around 5:30 they could keep an area open for us. See you there.
Thanks for checking on that Benny. Ok…I’m feeling pretty bad that I’m going to have my once a month beer here. 24 oz might be a little too much for me…I might have to stick to Pepsi too! ( Light weight)
I will be there if I can get off work!
I was just there today for lunch with my boss. I have to say, the service was terrible :-/
David Troyer,
I’m sure we will get good service Tuesday night or we will throw them over the top…Just kidding, we have always
had decent service.
Christa,
Are you going to bring a camera for the party? A group picture would be nice…Hey! you could take a picture of Dave
and me” nose to nose “like two boxers getting ready for the
championship fight, and put it on one of the blogs, that would get the town talking.
I was planning to bring my camera, yes. It’s pretty much a permanent appendage on my body anymore. I hope we get more RSVP’s. Want people to know that even though you don’t comment on here…you can still come! Just show up!!
Count me in, just not sure what time.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be there as well.
And I’ll try my best to make up for the non-drinkers.
Ditto zen,
I haven’t mentioned it to the wife yet but she’s pretty good about letting me come out and play. So as long we are sans baby number 2 I’ll be there.
I’ll be there, but I doubt Alan can make it. He’s travelling back from a clogging and aromatherapy seminar held in Branson, MO.
Great! My favorite local blogger. Maybe Alan will make it out next time. I’ve heard so much about him.
OK, so far I have the following…
Me
Christa
Dave Briggman
Finnegan
Thanh
Whackette
Playgirl Politician
David Troyer
Lowell Fulk
Zen
Barnabas
Andy
If I’ve missed you let me know and keep adding to the list!
Where’s Joe?
Excellent idea, writergirl! I’m planning to be there, but I need to check with my wife before I can commit 100%.
Oh it was Christa’s idea, but it is a good one! Hope you can make it!
I think reaganite and morning bird may stop by but wearing mask and cape to protect their secret identities. “holy blogosphere, reaganite, nobody here drinks liquor! you mean to tell me they’re sober when they post that stuff??!!”
hahaha! Perhaps we should make it a masquerade ball.
I’ll wear my burka. ;)
Morning Bird’s identity is far from secret isn’t it John?
Two here, the wife and I.
I would estimate the following: Reaganite sober posts – 80%; Cook sober posts – 75%; Morning Bird sober posts – 5% (or less); Dave sober posts – 100% (I fear).
I’m going to try to make it. I’m going to see if I can talk another Hburgnews commenter I know to come as well.
Count me in! :-)
Joe? Cook? Daytonres? Come on people, we might fill the roof!
Somebody invite the Koolaidatarian and you could sell tickets…..
Good one, Del. I’ll invite him on Candid Comment tomorrow.
You’re all liberals!
Uh, no liberal here, Zen
I didn’t see any bloggers for Sayre respond?
It’s primary election night, so the Sayre bloggers have other plans. Though I do not often post, I read the blogs everyday, so I will most definitely plan to come meet those of you I don’t already know. No drinking for me. I have to drive back to Staunton.
Of course Christa. And that’s fine & great. That was just a shot at Dave’s Koolaid-drinking pal.
I know…I was being sarcastic, Zen
Love to come, but my daughter has swim practice every evening.
My wife just informed me that she is gonna be there to.
too
Emmy, you got a head count yet? Rick Claybrook from the CA office said he would stop by. And Cook is too funny…walked in my store to see who Christa was. lol. It was just too funny. I just love Harrisonburg. I think I’ll call Eddie Bumbaugh and his group…see if they will come. And I know Ron from Blue Ridge design(my architects!!) look at this sight. You guys better come!!!!!
Hey Ron!!! Bring your Mom!!!!!
Christa,
Let’s try and give this a name…we could do this annually
or a few times a year. Here is a few I came up with:
The Gitchell Bash
Friend’s Party Night
Four Seasons Party(have one four times a year-spring,summer,fall & winter)
Let’s see what others mifgt come up with.
It was just an idea….you guys want to take off on it..that’s great. I just thought it would be fun to do it one time.
It already has a name, Tuesday. Or we could each name it what we think it is. I’ll call it Daves Roof Invite to Network in a Kasual Invironment Night by Gitchell, or D.R.I.N.K.I.N.G.
I plan on doing my part with the Budwiser!
