DC-Area Meet-Up this Sunday! July 11th, 7:30, Brickskeller -- details in post 40

Be there or be square

**The Knize** · 07-09-2010, 12:05 PM

I will be there. If you need my "real name," cell phone numbers, etc., let me know via PM! Actually, maybe exchanging cell phone numbers is never a bad idea. People may get lost or something.

7:30 pm Eastern time, Sunday, July 11, 2010, Brickskeller, 1523 22nd St, NW, Washington, D.C.

Should we wear some identifying attire or something? I suppose just ask for the "Badger" table. You know the old Rodney Dangerfield joke right:

"I never get no respect,

Was supposed to have a blind date the other night with 'Sally.' Arranged to her at a bar. I went in and walked up to this beautiful blonde sitting at the bar:

'Are you Sally?'

'Are you Rodney?'

'Sure am!'

'Then I'm not Sally!'"

So, "is this the Badger table? . . . "

Absolutely! But you can't talk me into SE shaving.....I've got too much $ sunk into other products...well...at least for now

**brianw** · 07-11-2010, 08:46 PM

No live blogging. Too busy having a good time!

Very nice get together. Thanks for putting this together, Gruder. Very nice meeting and hanging out with everyone!

B&B meet ups are highly recommended!

**causalfault** · 07-12-2010, 06:57 AM

Absolutely, it was a great time. I can't imagine another scenario where I could sit around and talk about shaving without other people thinking I'm some kind of weirdo.

Thanks, Gruder, for making this happen!

Don't feel bad, my wife and I left shortly after you did.

Big thanks to brian for his generosity, and thanks to Gruder for putting the whole thing together! It was a great time, and I'd love to do it again!

**Gruder** · 07-12-2010, 07:12 AM

Thanks to everyone for coming, and to Brian for both the idea and the generosity. There's something powerful in the ability of B&B to unite folks who would have no reason to meet one another otherwise. I'll hold fond memories of last night for quite some time.

**Cuttingboard** · 07-12-2010, 07:35 AM

I guess I'll have to catch up with you guys next time. I didn't realize there was a meet and greet until I saw this thread this morning.

All members take a lesson from Casualfault... His wife is as rabid as he is about shaving....

And yes a big thanks to Chad for organizing all of this
