eGullet Outing at Colorado Kitchen

I am checking with CK and will let you all know if it is 7 or 7:30.

I'll have Rocks adjust the thread title and calander announcement with the right time.

[Chef Shogun]

So is Firefly the appointed spot for the softening up process after all, and what time are the clans going to gather?

That'll be good. I've been trying to get there forever, and to be honest I'm a little shakey on how to get over there. Would be nice to have a group to follow.

I appreciate those directions (I forget who posted them). I tried to drive to the area today (per mapquest) and got, well, lost.

Where is Firefly? I don't have a DC phone book handy to find the address and I don't drive in DC a lot.

Thanks.

[Al_Dente]

Can I hitch a ride with someone from Firefly to CK? I may be down near Dupont for another back-crackin.

[hillvalley]

Just heard from CK and they are starting at 7. Hopefully Rocks will change the heading soon

As for parking, it sounds like there is just street parking. Remember folks, this isn't Cleveland Park. You will be east of the park, as they say.

Here is the final list:

babka +1

We have a number of new people so I expect you old timers to be on your best behavior. For the first half hour anyway.

I look forward to finally putting names with faces.

[hjshorter]

Thanks for checking on the time.

Anyone think name tags are a good idea? I for one am terrible with names.

[cakewench]

aaah so jealous.

One of these days (years??) I'll be around for a fun DC event.

Assuming I am awake to remember I am going to bring a list of people's handles and real names.

Otherwise, if you want name tags someone else should bring them.

[Nadya]

If anyone needs a ride from Dupont Circle to CK, I am driving and can take three more people; four if they are skinny and like each other. I probably won't have time to stop by Firefly, but I can pick y'all up outside this estimable establishment. Please PM me if you need a ride.

Firefly is at 1310 New Hampshire Avenue, in the Hotel Madera--a couple

blocks SW of Dupont Circle, between Sunderland Street and N Street.

Chef Shogun (or anyone else), if you need help with directions feel free to PM me.

I will have room for 3 extra for the drive from Firefly to CK. I will arrive at Firefly between 5:30 and 5:45. (paisley necktie; it was the "whitest" necktie I could think of)

[eunny jang]

Have fun you guys.

Pictures, pictures pictures!!!!!

[mnebergall]

I packed a bottle of 1997 Chateau Woltner Chardonnay and a 1999 La Bernardine Chateauneuf du Pape, and 3 cigars, for tonight's festivities.

Gillian will whack you with her rolling pin if you light up in the restaurant.

But Don, one of the cigars is for you.

Where will we be meeting at Firefly and how will new people recognize the old folks?

The old folks will look, well, kind of old and the new folks will look, well, kind of young.

Why don't we try to congregate near the round table across from the back end of the bar.

[rosebud]

Well, are YOU in for a surprise, vis-a-vis how young the new folks will look. If you see a middle-aged couple--her with red hair and glasses, he gray hair and glasses--looking perplexed, THAT'S US!!

Rosebud

[hillvalley]

Just found out that we have a last minute cancellation due to illness. If anyone wants to come send BABKA an email to let her know!

[babka]

babka here--pm me to join the merry crew this evening.

or to send an entertaining reason for your absence.

[littlechinagirl]

It's unlikely that I'll be able to make it by 7 sharp (my daily commute from Reston to DC takes an hour, on average, and I'll be stuck here until about 6). Is it ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that I be there by 7, or will this just be the start of the mingling half-hour?

I'll try my best to leave early, but 66 is always a nightmare, and all it takes is a couple drops of rain to grind it to a screeching halt...

[Al_Dente]

I'd like to apologize in advance for attending this evening.

the food starts moving at 7, but we'll be happy to see you into the mingling stage and beyond. so please feel free to arrive alive and late and not dead and early.

[spaghetttti]

So, how was it?
