Morning Y'All...

I was on the VC chat area last night and discussed with Revlis the possibility of doing an off-line in conjunction with golf. I suggested that the DC Cru and others from PA/NJ/So. VA/etc. could possibly get together in May or June to do a wine dinner and to get a bunch of us hackers on the links to see how badly we could embarrass ourselves. Is this of interest to anyone? Good food, wine, cigars...what could be better? I'd be willing to start the ball rolling (no pun intended). So, any takers?

T-Rep

i'm in, although i can't golf. can i drive the tasting cart?

it has to be on a saturday though, that is if you want a good showing from out of state.

If May, it depends on the date, if June, I'm in. As a matter of fact, in June, I'll be a retiree (at the ripe old age of 42), so I'm *compelled* to play golf

Sounds like a blast!

june is also better for me

Ant...I thought that they had beer carts on the golf course..l like your idea of doing a wine cart...

Juggernaut...RETIRED at 42? What am I doing wrong at 51? I think I'll be working at 127!

If it looks like June will be the month for most of us, then June it shall be!

AI... I'd join you in the 'wine cart', but that wouldn't leave any for anybody else!

Travelrep: Serving the country has its advantages. Of course, you have to work 20 years in a job where you have the potential to get shot at...

June 5th weekend is the only weekend in June that is bad for me.

The rest of the month is fine....


how about June 12th weekend?

The weekend of June 12th works for me. I believe that Father's day is the following week. So far it's Revlis, myself, Juggernt, and AI to drive the wine tasting cart. Let's hope for more!

T-Rep

So which one of you is going to use a hockey stick as a putter?

You mean you won't participate? I hear that a hockey stick works really well off the tee...

DC guyz, I will probably be in your area (as a tourist) Memorial Day. Rev, can you make it that weekend there? Can we plan something that weekend?????

LCC,

Unfortunately, the Memorial Day weekend won't work for me due to a family reunion in Northern NJ that weekend. June is better for me but if you're coming down over that weekend, I'm sure that the DC Cru would extend their hospitality and cellars to you...

Time to resurrect this thread....

I realize that the DC Cru hasn't even coordinated our April and May get togethers and this thread is talking about an event for June. We tentatively discussed doing a golf/wine dinner thing over the weekend of June 11/12ish, however, my schedule will now have me out of town over that weekend. Something about a pesky sales meeting on the island of Tortola in the BVI....in any event, for those who have expressed an interest in coming down to DC to participate, what about the week following...June 18/19?

T-Rep

T-Rep you bum- Tortola is one of my favorites. My parents actually just got back from 2 weeks at the Longbay Beach Resort & Villa's. I'll look into those dates and let you know.

Fred:

Actually, one of my clients, Elite Island Resorts, the one that's having the sales meeting on Tortola, just took over either the ownership or management, I'm not sure, of Long Bay and that's where I'll be. Small world. How did your folks like it? Hope you can break out the sticks in June and join in the revelrie, lying about scores, humiliation and embarrasment, occasional good shot, etc on the links...

Gee I hope this doesn't count as one of the "official" DC Cru events since I don't play golf. (I agree with Mark Twain)

Din...

I'd rather think of the event being an official event with an optional golf outing for those interested in being on the links either earlier on Saturday or Sunday morning. Would that "out" allow you to keep your streak alive? I'm still interested in doing an Italian theme so maybe this could work for June? What do you think?

T-Rep

Depends on where it is. Last I looked, there were not many places to play in DC. Of course, I'll do my best to keep the streak alive. Now we just have to figure out when and where for April.

T-Rep,
They love the place, and actually go every year. We used to frequent the Bitter End on Virgin Gorda but realized for the money Longbay is a better bet. We've been tossing around the idea of buying a place down there and rent it when we are not using it. I'm planning on going down next winter, I'll probably scope out the real estate while I'm there.

Suggestion that golf course right down on the potomac might be an option for this event?
