Baltimore and DC area TTers

“I need to run down to the Timmonium REI north of Baltimore, off of 83 on Thursday. Probably get there around 6 and then hang out for an hour or so. Anyone want to get together and then grab some beers afterwards?

Y2, MarkO, Jackstraw, Lyra, bearmagnet? Lemme know.”

“See Ya there. I think there is a Ledo's somewhere in the area.”

“it's been 10 years since I've been in the DC area, I do miss Ledo's. They still making square pizza on pie crust and serving it on cafeteria trays? I remember the good old days when the guys at the office would go out for pizza and beer on Friday afternoons and we'd run down to Ledo's, just remember to bring back some for the girls in the front office, and no, we didn't get much work done after we got back.”

“woooo that sounds fun!! i think i'd have to have some beers beforehand to deal w/the traffic on the way up. kidding!! i think i can swing it, i'll let you know for sure tomorrow :-)”

“Please.......swing it!!

There is a Ledo's in Cockeysville up near Hunt Valley Mall.......same shopping center as the Giant Food.

The Ledo's on University Boulevard was the original, I think.

It was a good place to go for pizza and beer until 2:00 AM.”

“Might be able to swing it, I'll let you know.”

“ok, so where's this, what time we looking at, I'm not going to finnish here til 7.30”

“cool so, so far we have:
MarkO
Lilmountaingirl
techntrek
Lyra
Jackstraw
myself
-
we still need Y2”

“MarkO says 2am! :-D”

“and don't let me buy anything at REI either!

unless i find something really good.”

“well, I will probably be at the timonium REI till 730-8 and then we are going to go to the Ledo's Pizza in Hunt Valley. It is on York Road near the intersection with Sawanne rd (sp), right near the Giant and Bank of America, not far off of I-83.

REI is on Timonium Rd in Timonium, not far off of I-83.”

“I should, in theory, be off work tomorrow, so this might work. Time for me to mapquest.”

“Shawan Road”

“There is an Irish pub on York Road between REI and Ledo Pizza.

I can't remember the name, it's in Irish.

“An Poitin Stil.”

“That's the place.

It's probably more expensive than the pizza joint.”

“Just talked to bearmagnet and mentioned it to him...don't know if he will be able to make it or not.”

“Bearmagnet, get your ass up here!!”

“Get what up his ass now?”

“Isn't it time for that guy to have a colonoscopy??

It's very refreshing!!!

“hey, i'm just across the border”

“so who is in tomorrow?

are we meeting at REI or Ledos? After Ledos, perhaps we can hop to the Irish bar. I probably will make an exit around 11 though, cuz it is a long drive back to Lancaster.”

“I'm in...heading to Hbg around noon (and will be crashing there tomorrow night). I can meet whenever/wherever.”

“cool LMG - I work in York, right off of 83, exit 16B Queen Street, then you turn right onto St Charles Way. There is a Commerce Bank at the corner. I get off of work by 5.”

“Right on...I know exactly where that is. I'll plan on being there around 4:30-4:45.”

“Sooooooooooooooo.......7:00-8:00 PM tomorrow??????


At REI in Timonium????”

“If ENS & I are able to leave York by 5'ish, we should be at the REI by 6'ish.”

“I'll be there around 6'ish”

“Sixish it is!!

I'm short, fat and bald and I'll be wearing a Bozo wig.”

“I'm good for tonight. I'll aim to be at REI around 6:30. If I miss that, where exactly is that pub you are hitting afterwards? I know where Lido is, but it looks like you are skipping that?”

“I think the deal is to go to Ledo's and then maybe the Irish joint.”

“ok well i'm hoping to meet you guys at REI, but it depends on traffic...i'm bringing directions for both REI and Ledo's. what time should i assume is too late to meet at REI's, and head to Ledo's instead?

who's the lucky candidate that wants to email me their cell number?? :-D MarkO, ENS?”

“I can grab my wife's cell phone.

Is the e-mail in your profile good?”

“why yes it is! thanks!! :-)”

“y2 coming?”

“Yes, please post the cut-off time for REI, so I can go right to the pizza joint if I miss you at REI, thanks.”

“7:30, should be there by 8

“lol

watching this is like that lunch in chicago thing....”

“ya never know with these foreigners!

man, i just had to fire someone! i feel like projectile vomiting. i know what would help, a gin martini! think they have those at Ledo's??

can't wait to meet you guys, should be fun!”

“A bunch of backpackers enabling each other in a gear store and then going out for drinks...oh yeah, it could get ugly. ;-)”

“ok so if i make it to the area after 7:30 i'll go straight to Ledo's then...thanks!”

“Gear and Guinness!! what a country.”

“Holey Crap, 6:ish to 7:30 at REI???

There's liable to be a gear riot given that much time there!!

lyra, just don't hurl in the pizza joint.

I witnessed a chain puking incident in a pizza joint many years ago.

I still carry the mental scars.

“I'm getting new boots.”

“We had better behave or we'll all get the boot.”

“Behave?!? Where's the fun in that?

I'm out...headed to Harrisburg. See y'all soon!”

“I got two pairs of Merrels w/ the vibram soles from there a few months ago. The pair I wore on the Old Rag trip, I was stuck to the rock like glue. I'm sold.

The 2nd pair is a low-cut version of the boot ("trail runner"), identical to the boot in every other way. I wear them as my everyday shoes!”

“well at least you're not drinking then going to REI, that could be really dangerous.
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. I'm not going to finish working here until after seven, then walk the dog, then what, hour and a half drive.
Sorry guys.”

“oops
