The Inaugural bonspiel begins this evening! [bounce] Am v. 'cited. I must count on my fellow citizens to drive with their heads not in their collective ass this evening, so I can get up to the club on time. Yes.

And, as usual, I am intrigued to discover what the theme of the Hanging Chad event will be. Four years ago, at the first Inaugural (the Inaugural², if you will), it was the original Hanging Chad event; three years ago, it was the California Recall event. I haven't been there for the past two years, of course, but the theme of the whole spiel this weekend is the Midterm Elections, so there are a hundred ways they could go with the HC. The races for governor in Maryland and Ohio; the races for senator in Maryland and Virginia; the whole wretched Mark Foley thing. And on and on. Whatever it is, it should be amusing.

I can do either... I'm not certain about the Greenbelt scenario though, so let's shoot for the your 'hood 'round 11ish, though you'll have to tell me where your 'hood is as I can't rightly recall.

7A, 7E, or 7F (only one of which runs on Saturday, I believe, but I can't remember which) from Pentagon. Mine is the [counts on fingers] fourth available stop, I think, but if you just hop off at Shirlington I can pull over and pick you up at the bottom of the hill.

update! (yes, i can in fact read a draw sheet)

So, yeah, took another look at the draw, and I'm a lying liar who lies. There are two scenarios in which my first game on Saturday is 1:30, but two more in which it's earlier -- if we lose our first two, I'll be on the ice at 8:30 am Saturday, which would SUCK, and if we win our first two, I'll be on the ice at 11am Saturday; so it's really only if we go 1-1 in our first two games that the above plan will work. I'll know this by Friday night 9-ish, if that helps you.

What I will know sooner than that is this: if we win tonight, I will absolutely not have to be there at the ungodly hour of 8am Saturday. (So here's hoping.) But I won't know if it's 11 or 1:30 until 9pm Friday. If we lose tonight, I won't get the 11am slot on Saturday, but I won't know if it's 8:30 or 1:30 until about 6pm Friday. Cool? Will you be there tomorrow at all for solidifying of these plans?

I actually won't be at the club until Saturday most likely. If you end up playing at 1:30 and the other plan is the operative one, let me know via cell (or email). If you end up playing at one of the earlier games, let me know and perhaps we can arrange a pick-up from the Greenbelt Metro at some point later in the day or I can see if someone else can give me a lift.
